'''Souvenir:''' Lollipop

 +
This candy fell out of the hands of a defeated [[Longbow]] infiltrator in a story you like to call:
 +
 
 +
'''There's a Sucker Born Every Minute'''
 +
 
 +
It all started when your contact, Willie 'Dealer' Wheeler, called you up about a big problem. it seems most of Willy's jobs have originated from a source who has recently been taken captive by [[Arachnos]] forces. Willy losing his source meant no more jobs for you, so you decided to free Willy's source, a man known as [[Ace McKnight]].
 +
 
 +
McKnight wanted Willy to find someone to take out the Arachnos agent that was coming after him - which was where you came in. Attacking the Arachnos base, it was discovered McKnight was actually a Longbow agent that Arachnos had been tracking for months. Worst of all, Arachnos thought you were in league with Longbow as well!
 +
 
 +
Willy Wheeler pleaded with you not to go after McKnight, because interrogation of the Longbow agent would reveal Willy as the dupe who had been unwittingly setting up all these jobs for Longbow.

 +
They think they've tracked down McKnight to a warehouse they suspect has been converted to a temporary Longbow base! The problem is, if they capture McKnight, I'll be exposed as the McKnight's pawn! I'll be ruined, ya hear me? Ruined! Sure, you might get off the Arachnos radar, but I'm screwed!

Souvenir: Lollipop

This candy fell out of the hands of a defeated Longbow infiltrator in a story you like to call:

There's a Sucker Born Every Minute

It all started when your contact, Willie 'Dealer' Wheeler, called you up about a big problem. it seems most of Willy's jobs have originated from a source who has recently been taken captive by Arachnos forces. Willy losing his source meant no more jobs for you, so you decided to free Willy's source, a man known as Ace McKnight.

McKnight wanted Willy to find someone to take out the Arachnos agent that was coming after him - which was where you came in. Attacking the Arachnos base, it was discovered McKnight was actually a Longbow agent that Arachnos had been tracking for months. Worst of all, Arachnos thought you were in league with Longbow as well!

Willy Wheeler pleaded with you not to go after McKnight, because interrogation of the Longbow agent would reveal Willy as the dupe who had been unwittingly setting up all these jobs for Longbow.

Break Ace McKnight out of the Arachnos base

Briefing

We got some trouble, Character! You know I've gotten a lot of great jobs for you in the past, right? Well, I've been getting them from this guy called Ace McKnight who just got nabbed by Arachnos! We need to get 'im out, or your jobs and my livelihood are history!

Please, Character, I'm beggin' ya! Break Ace McKnight out of the Arachnos base!

Defeat Operative Dominic and witnesses

Briefing

You did an awesome job springin' McKnight from that Arachnos base. I guess a guy like McKnight knows secrets even Arachnos doesn't want getting out, eh?

McKnight gave me another hot tip if you're up for it. He found out who it was in Arachnos that's got it in for him, and wants him taken out. Invade the Arachnos and take out Arachnos Agent Dominic.

McKnight is a Longbow agent? N-no! this can't be! You must be lying!

P-please! Don't tell Arachnos that I'm the one that's been doing jobs for McKnight! They'll come after me!

Notes

- The Debriefing sounds like if there would be a Clue somewhere in this mission: there is not, and the only clue linking McKnight with Longbow is the aggro message of Operative Dominic.

Capture McKnight

Briefing

I screwed up bad, Character - real bad. Arachnos agents have already been snoopin' around here, askin' questions, tryin' to find that Longbow Agent McKnight. They don't know I was involved, at least not yet.

They think they've tracked down McKnight to a warehouse they suspect has been converted to a temporary Longbow base! The problem is, if they capture McKnight, I'll be exposed as the McKnight's pawn! I'll be ruined, ya hear me? Ruined! Sure, you might get off the Arachnos radar, but I'm screwed!

Mission Acceptance

P-please don't do this to me! If you do I'll have no future in the Rogue Isles!

Besides! McKnight is WAY too tough for you to take alone!

Unnecessary Solicitation

M-maybe you've reconsidered? Let McKnight go free and preserve my rep!

Ace McKnight

Mission Objective(s)

It looks like Arachnos has started their assault on the warehouse. Find McKnight and make him pay!

How's it going, buddy?
Let me introduce you to my friends in Longbow.

Debriefing

N-no! When Arachnos interrogates McKnight, they'll found out he's been working through me!

You ruined me, Character! Who's gonna trust ol' Willy Wheeler now? Get away from me! Just go away!
