Mission:Colleen Nelson - Destroy the Rikti virus
Destroy the Rikti virus (35-40)
Briefing
Listen up, Character, this is big. I just learned that the Rikti have engineered a disease to render the entire human population helpless! They've managed to create a virus that will cause total paralysis in all human subjects, while leaving Rikti unscathed. According to my sources, they're about to deploy it in a local neighborhood! You've got to destroy the Rikti virus. If you can retrieve a sample, make sure it gets to Jenny Firkins. She specializes in dealing with hazardous Rikti technology.
Mission Acceptance
The Rikti are planning to deploy the virus over in Pike's Place. We've isolated the area in an emergency force field, but you've got to get in there and eliminate the virus. See if you can take out the raid leader, a Rikti called Boss Name. If you can take him down, there's a good chance this operation will fall apart.
Destroy Boss Name and his team
Unnecessary Solicitation
Did you destroy that Rikti virus yet? All our lives are in your hands.
Mission Objective(s)
A shout carries to your ears from deep within the base. The Rikti obviously aren't alone.
- Destroy Boss Name and his team
- 6 samples to destroy
You stopped the Rikti plot to infect Paragon City.
As far as you know, this is the only remaining sample of the paralyzing virus the Rikti engineered. Experts can use this sample to develop an antidote.
Notes
- The name of the Rikti leader can vary. Possibilities include Laktari, Olanto, Polso, and Wonekti.
Notable NPCs
- Random Rikti Boss (Rikti)
- Bekli (Rikti Chief Soldier)
- Archon Jansen (Council Vortex Cor Leonis Archon)
Enemies
Take virus to Jenny Firkins
Unnecessary Solicitation
Jenny needs to get a look at that virus, post haste.
Mission Objective(s)
- Take virus to Jenny Firkins
Thanks, Character. I'll analyze the virus, and see what I can do about an antidote. You know, I'm a little worried about the presence of the Council at that base. Sure, the Council are human like the rest of us, and I'm sure they don't want to see the city gassed any more than you do. Still. The Council rarely does anything without a hidden agenda.
I'd appreciate it if you could trail one of the agents back to their base. Make sure they're not up to anything nefarious.
Learn Council's plan
Unnecessary Solicitation
I need to be sure that the Council isn't planning anything dangerous.
Mission Objective(s)
You trailed one of the Council agents back to this base. If his comrades are up to anything sneaky, you'll uncover it.
- Learn Council's plan
You found evidence against the Council.
This virus, found in a Council base, was obviously engineered from the Rikti paralyzing virus. Comments you heard at the Council base lead you to believe that this weaker version of the virus would incapacitate Paragon City's heroes long enough for vaccinated Council troops to take the control of the city.
Debriefing
I have to admit, even I find it hard to believe the Council would have released that modified virus on the populace. It might not have resulted in widespread death like the original Rikti virus, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn it had some nasty side effects. I guess there's no limit to how far some people will go for power.
