Information

Physician and Genetics Researcher at Cole Memorial Hospital

Doctor Arvin is a well known physician within Nova Praetoria. Despite his older age, he has kept up with all of the up and coming doctors in his field. Some of his co-workers whisper that he has been working on secret experiments in his spare time, though none know what exactly he is up to.

Doctor Arvin is also known to be somewhat of a historian in his spare time, keeping an impressive collection of historical books within his home.

Prior to Introduction

I'm sorry, but I don't take walk-up appointments. Even though I am a physician, you'll still need to book an appointment with my receptionist. If we start breaking even the smallest rules, where would we be as a society?

Initial Contact

Character, good to meet you. My name is James Arvin. As you may have guessed from my attire, I am a doctor of some repute here in Nova Praetoria.

I would love to have a casual conversation with you, but I'm afraid there is business to attend to.

You are aware of the Destroyers, yes? They are a symptom of a disease spreading within Praetoria, one that I would see cured. Have you heard of it? Fixadine? It eats away at those who cling to it, turning them into monsters. I, however, would see these monsters freed from their chains.

You have a plan to go about this?

That I do. Many have tried to cure those addicted to Fixadine with little success. The main problem, you see, is that their bodies require Fixadine to survive - once they've become addicted, of course. It isn't a simple matter of willpower to get over the addiction. Without Fixadine, the bodily functions of those who are addicted will slowly shut down one by one, until they eventually die.

I, however, have come up with a method that will allow their bodies to sustain themselves without Fixadine. It is a long process, however, and must be done on a case by case basis.

My research was proceeding along nicely until my patient, who I have dubbed Subject Zero, escaped from my care. This is where I need your assistance, Character.

Find Subject Zero, sounds easy enough. How did he escape?

Skips to end of conversation.

Why not ask the PPD for help?

The PPD... don't exactly know what I'm doing. They too, are another symptom of a disease spreading in Praetoria, one that does not have to do with Fixadine.

I must keep my work a secret from them, for now. Once the cure is created, I can come forward with what I know and what I've done. There may be anger at my... activities, but my cure will easily make up for that.

Alright, do you have any idea where Subject Zero might be?

Skips to end of conversation.

How did Subject Zero get away?

It was my fault, really. He was craving Fixadine for far too long. I was hoping I could create the cure before Subject Zero went into withdrawals... but time was not on my side. He easily broke out of my laboratory and is now somewhere within the city, looking for more of the drug.

Alright, do you have any idea where Subject Zero might be?

I have some leads. Shall we get started?

Yes, let's figure this out.

Skips to intro to first mission.

Give me a moment.

Part One: The Underbelly

Briefing

Hello again, Character. I've managed to track down a possible location for Subject Zero. I regret to inform you that he was last seen going into the underground tunnels of Praetoria.

I know that Subject Zero has a few contacts down there, specifically in the homeless that dwell within those dreadful areas. I believe it is with those homeless that you will be able to find the location of our Subject Zero. Are you up for going down into the diseased depths of this city to bring back our cure?

When you say it like -that-, how could I not be?

Excellent.

I would be careful of running into the Ghouls while you're down there. If you hurry, you may be able to catch Subject Zero before he wanders too deep into the city's abyss. Oh, and Character?

Make sure all of your immunization shots are current before you go down there.

Unnecessary Solicitation

If you need some shots before you go down there, I'll be able to help.

Mission Objective(s)

You follow a series of winding corridors before you end up here. You're deep beneath Nova now - and going deeper.

  • Find Subject Zero
    • Save any stranded Loyalists (Optional)
    • Find anyone who can locate Subject Zero
      • Find the exit deeper into the tunnels

You push through the tunnels to speak with another homeless man regarding the location of Subject Zero.

Briefing

Eh? What do you want? Can't you see you're intruding on my home here?!

I'm here to find out about a Destroyer that passed through here.

A Destroyer?

You mean Louis? Shame that he got on the Fixadine. I always told him not to get on the stuff.

But does he listen to me? Of course not! Now he's always hopped up on Fixadine, attacking random people. Last I heard, he threw a car at a building and killed a group of college students. None of that woulda happened if he just listened to me. He didn't even listen to that stuck up uncle of his, what's his name... Arvin... or something.

What're you lookin' to him about?

I'm trying to track him down, to find a cure for Fixadine.

Wha? What's Louis gotta do with it?

He's the key to finding the cure. I need to know where he went.

Wait, Arvin is his Uncle?

Yeah, Arvin is his uncle. Took good care of him too, till Louis went on the crush.

Me, I never wanted in on the stuff, s'why they kicked me outta the Destroyers, I guess.

Not surprised that Arvin doesn't talk a lot about Louis and him being related. It'd look bad for a doctor in his standing to be associated with some sorta Destroyer like Louis, eh?

(dialog choice missing)

Alright, whatever. I talked to Louis a while ago, he was killing for a 'crush'. That's what they call a shot of Fixadine. This time here is the only time when you could talk to him without getting your face smashed in, see?

So, I told him about some Destroyers that ran out through the tunnels, led by some guy called Smash Bro. They're up in one of the warehouses in Nova now. You wanna find Louis, you can go see him there.

That all you want from me?

Thanks for the information, I'll be going now.

Completes dialog

What do you know of the past, before this place was Praetoria?

Before? You're interested in before?

This place, this country, was called America. And you know who it belonged to? The people! Not to some stuck-up super-powered suit. They say up top that the world before Cole was terrible. But I say we're livin' in a time that our forefathers would've hated! No freedom, no choice! What you do is what Cole and his little group let you do. S'why I'm down here in the tunnels. It may not be nice, but at least I got myself some choice down here.

You, you should remember what I'm sayin' here! We're comin' to a time when people don't remember how things were, forgetting what the past was, just believin' what Cole tells 'em! But I won't forget! I won't forget the life I had, back when this land had a different name.

Thanks for the information, I'll be going now.

Uncle Arvin
The homeless man within Nova's underground tunnels informed you that Subject Zero's real name was Louis - Louis Arvin. Dr. Arvin is Louis' uncle, though the homeless man believes Arvin is ashamed of being associated with Louis. This could be why Arvin never bothered to inform you of their relation.
Icon clue generic.png
A Land Called America
You spoke with the homeless man beneath the tunnels about what Praetoria used to be, before Emperor Cole came into power.
