SEASON 5


Side Missions

In the past, side missions had a bit more impact on the ending, but these will mostly be as bonuses and extras.

|1| Hello? Anyone Out There!? 4. [PAL] Crez the Whimsicott
Spoiler:
Quest Appearance: Anytime, beginning of the game

Synopsis: One of the major things that Aurorawatch would like to do is contact any of the outside cities, especially to find out if there’s anyone that can help them. Aurorawatch only has short-range radios and equipment, but Crez is confident that the Exacta Broadcasting Company Offices have something that might be able to reach outside cities on Veramo.

Locations Involved
(31) Exacta Broadcasting Company Offices

Participants Involved: 4. Paladin Crez the Whimsicott

Solution: Sounds easy, doesn’t it? Thing is, Crez isn’t exactly sure what would work and won’t know until he tries. And at that location, there’s three possible pieces of equipment that might do the job, but also require a bit of work:

(31) Exacta Broadcasting Company Offices
|1| {Submerged Sublevel: +Water+}
|1| [Damaged Namaxa Broadcasting Console: <Technical> AND <Repair>]
|1| [Repaired Namaxa Broadcasting Console]


Unfortunately, after all that work, it’s incompatible with Aurorawatch’s equipment! Crez will try it, but he’ll only get static. He’ll tell the Emissaries to try and see if there’s anything else out there that might work.

(31) Exacta Broadcasting Company Offices
|1| {Locked Equipment Supply Storage: <Security> OR +Fire Type+}
|1| [Corrupted Ensign NV904 Broadcasting System: <Technical>]
|1| [Ensign NV904 Broadcasting System]


It sucks, but this won’t work either! The equipment is too old and no longer works on a frequency that reaches anyone else out there! Crez won’t even get static out of this one.

(31) Exacta Broadcasting Company Offices
|1| {5th Floor Equipment Hold: <Security> OR +Steel Type+}
|1| [Unconfigured Exodus G115A System: <Technical> AND +Psychic Type+]
|1| [Exodus G115A System]


Now this one does the trick! It’s new and just never got to see any use, but when Crez hooks it up and gives it a go, he’ll be able to reach Vante the Mienshao from Nacrat!

Turns out, most of the outside world thinks Exacta City is dead and infected. They’ve all been told to stay away, wishing not for anyone else to spread whatever contagion is going on. But the fact Crez is able to speak to Vante means there are survivors after these three years. Crez will ask if there were any other cities hit with superweapons, but Vante will tell him no and that there is no report or evidence of anyone even possessing such a biological weapon.

It gets Crez believing maybe it wasn’t a biological weapon after all. He then recalls that not once did anyone ever see something falling from the sky, nor was there any sounds or trails of smoke.

With the arrival of the Stalkers, it becomes clear… OMEN is something else entirely….

Crez requests help from Vante, and Vante agrees to tell his associates about what transpired. But he tells him that it will need to be a few weeks before they’re able to get the resources and equipment needed to provide support and test for infection. This obviously won’t happen before the end of the game, but it gives Crez motive to greatly reward the Emissaries.

Rewards:
$3000 Sochas$, evenly split among all players.
[|AW| Aurorawatch Combat Vulcan] (Adds 1d10 +5 damage to successful attack rolls)
[|DF| Aurorawatch Versatility Armor] (Reduces incoming Health Damage by 4 points each time Health damage is taken)



|2| Enjoy the Little Things – 69. Dineni the Darmanitan

Spoiler:
Quest Appearance: Beginning

Synopsis: Dineni could use a hand in getting rid of some ghouls, and he feels Racha and Kash aren’t exactly warrior material and at most only have scouting experience under their belt. If the Emissaries could thin out their numbers, he would appreciate it, especially since lately there’s been some that have been making a racket during the night, but they’re too far away from Dineni’s post and he has been ordered not to abandon it.

Dineni feels if they could just get rid of five of them, it should quiet things down at least for a little while if anything. Dineni tells them if they can bring back five ghoul heads, he’ll take that as proof the deed was done.

Locations Involved: (57) the Darkwatch Building, Northern/Southern Reach

Participants involved: 69. Dineni the Darmanitan

Solution: Players just need to kill five ghouls and bring the heads back as proof.

Rewards:

  • $600 Sochas$ (Split amongst the Emissaries)
  • $[Caffeine Delight] 200 Sochas$ (A special brew of caffeinated beverage that gives the one that ingests it enough energy to search two places the next turn.)
  • $[Revealing Glass] 100 Sochas$ (Can be used to see if there are any hidden traps in an area (as a Yes or No answer))


|3| Internal Audit – 2. [PAL] Safen the Politoed

Spoiler:
Quest Appearance: Beginning

Synopsis: A purchase order was entered incorrectly, and as a result, Safen received an additional shipment of Violent Seeds when she really needed berries for Aurorawatch soldier injuries. She knows the quartermaster, Neshen, is going to be seething when she finds out, but there’s not much she can do and Safen has been so busy lately with other things. She requests that the Emissaries bring 3 Sitrus Berries, 3 Spelon Berries, and 3 Starf Berries, and she’ll give the Emissaries 5 of the Violent Seeds in exchange.

Locations Involved: (14) Exacta Military Compound, but mission interviews will be conducted just outside the compound grounds.

Participants involved: 2. [PAL] Safen the Politoed

Solution: Players just need to bring 3 Sitrus Berries, 3 Spelon Berries, and 3 Starf Berries. Easiest way to do this is just buy them.

Rewards:
  • $500 Sochas$ (Split amongst the Emissaries)
  • [B]x5 [Violent Seed] (Increases damage dealt by this Pokémon by +3 for each successful combat strike. Lasts one cycle, effect cannot be layered.)


|4| Carry the Future – 24. Veria the Cinccino

Spoiler:
Quest Appearance: Beginning

Synopsis: Veria is working very hard on trying to create a cure for OMEN, but from the looks of things, it seems there’s no way to reverse a ghoul and chimera transformation. However, she’s convinced that she can at least come up with a remedy to ensure all the survivors can become immune to the effects of OMEN.

What she needs is a pure, totally undiluted sample of OMEN contamination. She’ll also need a sample of Emissary blood just to see what the properties are and if she can come up with a way to replicate the defensive antibodies that Emissaries seem to have that normal Pokémon do not.

Getting the blood isn’t the problem, it’s getting the OMEN sample. She offered a team of mercenaries, Keld the Litten, Porthan the Silicobra, and Burash the Zeilous, a sizable cash offer if they could do it, but she’s never heard from them again and it’s been two weeks. It involves going to the central OMEN creator.

Veria will then hand the Emissary a [OMEN Sample Collection Jar], which needs to be used on the {Highly Concentrated OMEN Deposit: Collection Area}. If the Emissaries do this for her, she’ll reward them quite generously.

Locations Involved: (11) Medidyne Research Labs, (76) The OMEN Crater (ABANDONED)

Participants involved: 24. Veria the Cinccino

Solution: Simply put, the player needs to take the [OMEN Sample Collection Jar] to the {Highly Concentrated OMEN Deposit: Collection Area}. Doesn’t sound hard until… a chimera shows up. And oh dear, it’s a Litten, Silicobra, and Zeilous chimera. Yeah, guess who that is!

Fighting or fleeing the chimera is fine. Dying to it is not. If the Emissary dies, they lose the collection jar and need to get a new one from Veria. She’s got an infinite number of them so they can try again, but that chimera will show up every time. If ghouls and other chimeras show up as part of the random encounter, they’ll show up exactly after the player gets the sample.

(76) The OMEN Crater (ABANDONED)
|4| {Highly Concentrated OMEN Deposit: Collection Area}
[Pure OMEN Sample]

  • $1500 Sochas (Split amongst all Emissaries
  • [Emergency Trauma Care Drone] (Restores all Health of all Emissaries no matter where they are)
  • [Emergency Cognitive Remediation Drone] (Restores all Sanity of all Emissaries no matter where they are)
  • [Emergency Spiritual Therapy Drone] (Restores all Purity of all Emissaries no matter where they are)
