Bloody Bane Spider Helmet (40-50)
You nearly trip over a small object on the ground. Upon inspection, you see it is a helmet belonging to a bane spider, with blood splattering the outside and inside of it. Whoever was wearing this must have been in quite the battle, though it isn't normal for Bane Spiders to discard their gear like this. You investigate this further by utilizing the tech inside the helmet to gather information about whoever discarded this...
It seems Arachnos has issued a bounty on a group of Bane Spiders - they've broken free from the mental network that comprises the soldiers and are trying to flee the Rogue Isles. This happened in the midst of an assault on a Longbow base in Grandville - now both Longbow and Arachnos are seeking these Bane Spiders, both offering a large reward for them.
You've heard of this happening before to a Bane Spider here and there - that was the last time you heard of those specific operatives, however. Arachnos is swift to handle any issues with the Bane Spiders, though now it appears to have become widespread within this group.
You could investigate where one of these Bane Spiders has run off to and collect on that bounty - either from Arachnos or Longbow. It would be a fairly good payday from either group and earn you some influence with one of the two groups.
Then again...it sounds as if the squad was in the middle of attacking a Longbow base when they disbanded. That means there's a group of Longbow out there still operating - still tracking everyone's movements, including your own. That's something that...can't be allowed to remain. Not when they're teetering on the brink of destruction.

Briefing
Longbow's presence in the Rogue Isles has done nothing but cause irritation after irritation - counting the latest one with the Bane Spiders. After doing some more investigation on the matter, you're able to piece together that the Bane Spider's link breaking was most likely caused by some agents within Longbow - they have had plans before to do this.
Which means they'll have bane Spider turncoats at that Longbow base. Not that it'll matter - form the video you've stolen, the base is already in ruins. Time for you to finish what Arachnos started and kick Longbow out of your turf.
However, just destroying the base won't be enough. You'll have to make an example out of the higher ups there. You're going to find key people there and make sure all of Longbow - and Paragon - know that you took them down.
- Destroy the Longbow base!
You make your way to the Longbow base, ready to finish off the job Arachnos started - in a manner that they could never hope to replicate.
Unnecessary Solicitation
That base is still active - for the moment.
Mission Objective(s)
You go through the blown up entrance in the sewers to enter the Longbow base. You can hear them trying to repair their base - time to stop that.
- Destroy the Longbow Base!
- Defeat the Longbow Commander!
- Defeat the rescued Bane Spider!
- Activate the live video feed!
- Plant the explosives to blow up the base!
The look on Longbow's faces over the video feed was priceless. Now to get out and blow up the place.
You ripped the commander's ID from their body after you beat them down. The ID has traces of your attack on it - this should catch the attention of those Longbow back in Paragon.
You ripped off this helm from the Bane Spider you defeated. It's a bit more roughed up than the helm you already found, which will be perfect to show to Longbow.
You activate a live video feed to one of Longbow's headquarters in Paragon City. Several of the higher ups were gathered around to listen to what you had to say.
After speaking for a few moments, you displayed to the Longbow the ID tag of their commander and the destroyed helmet of the Bane Spider they hoped to save. You turned and walked away from the video feed, overhearing the members of Longbow shouting furiously at you.
Time to blow up this base.

Debriefing
You get to a safe distance from the base before setting it to explode. Plumes of smoke rise from the ruins of the Longbow base, and they know exactly who did it. Good. They now have a face to associate with their nightmares.

Briefing
Some Bane Spiders acting up says one thing to you - opportunity. Longbow and Arachnos are looking for any of them and they're both offering top dollar for them.
Unfortunately for Arachnos, Longbow happens to hve a bigger paycheck to spend for the Bane Spiders.
You do some investigation and get in touch with certain contacts to find out that Crey has already located one of the Bane Spiders and is currently holding him hostage in one of their warehouses.
It looks like you've got your lead, at last. Crey has enough money as it is - it's time to sprad the wealth.
- Sell the Bane Spider to Longbow!
You head off to find the Bane Spider. It's lucky for you that Crey is keeping him nice and cozy until you show up...
Unnecessary Solicitation
Crey might be upset, but what are they going to do? Sue you?
Mission Objective(s)
The Crey warehouse is on full alert. They're ready and waiting for Arachnos to come get their man.
- Find the Bane Spider!
- Locate the captured Bane Spider!
- Survive the Arachnos ambush and find the Longbow Liaison!
The deal is done and sealed. Longbow has their Bane Spier and you have Longbow's money.

Debriefing
You casually walk out of the Crey warehouse with the suitcase full of money - courtesy of Longbow. Not too bad of a payday, if you do say so yourself.
