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.
Greeting
Make sure you have a healthy breakfast, the most important meal of the day. And none of this second-breakfast nonsense from you, either. Doctor's orders.

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.
