'''Briefing'''
  
The first thing we need to do is go after the cache of missiles that Blitz has stored away in the WEB. If he tries to attack, the U.S. Military will respond in kind, and then it's... well, then it's ''war''. Of course, we won't lose; Blitz has an island, and we have a nation. But I guarantee you that civilians in America ''will'' die if we go to war, and it will be on our heads.
+
Blitz seems to be holed up in an office building near the main launch site for his missiles. Manticore has reported that Blitz has his Rogue Arachnos out in force on the perimeter and tactical missile launchers set up to take down any chasers or flying heroes who get close to the building.  
  
We also have an issue of stopping Blitz from publically threatening Paragon with his missiles; I'm almost certain he's going to use Alexis as a bargaining chip. But what I can't understand is... why? He ''has'' to know it will only bring the full fury of the Freedom Phalanx down onto him; they would surely save Alexis and pound Blitz into the ground. He would destroy possibly one major city, but he would definitely ''fail'' in the end. And Malaise! What does he have to gain from all of this?
+
It doesn't make sense, though. We have the firepower to get through all of that, though it would take us time. If he was just going to ''kill'' Alexis, he could do it in an instant. All of this reeks of Blitz trying to buy himself some time... but for what?

You're right. We've sent in a pair of agents to secure a landing location for you in Warburg. Manticore is currently tracking down Alex Cole-Duncan's present whereabouts. He trusts, like I do, that you can handle the situation with Blitz on your own.

Finale: What May Fall

Briefing

Blitz seems to be holed up in an office building near the main launch site for his missiles. Manticore has reported that Blitz has his Rogue Arachnos out in force on the perimeter and tactical missile launchers set up to take down any chasers or flying heroes who get close to the building.

It doesn't make sense, though. We have the firepower to get through all of that, though it would take us time. If he was just going to kill Alexis, he could do it in an instant. All of this reeks of Blitz trying to buy himself some time... but for what?

In any case, we need to get in there, and fast, without having to go through his entire army.

  • There has to be some sort of tunnel to get me closer to there.

Mission Acceptance

Possibly. Let me contact Manticore.

Yes... access tunnels. Do you have the schematics? We can get Character through them.

... Okay, great. Yes, I've received them. Character will meet you.

Alright, we've got information. There are tunnels that can get you straight to the base, but they're filled with Arachnoids.

That doesn't matter, though. You'll need to push through them and get to the surface. I won't lie to you, Character, you're going to be in the heart of Rogue Arachnos territory. If Blitz is trying to buy time for something, he may just come out personally to finish what you and him started back in the conference.

You'll have to take him down, get Alexis back, and bring in Malaise. Manticore will be on the scene, trying to find another way in while you handle Blitz. It's up to the two of you to get Alexis and bring her back!

Unnecessary Solicitation

We don't have time, Character, you have to hurry!

Mission Objective(s)

These tunnels reek of Arachnoids. Blitz and his forces clearly have given up on trying to maintain the Arachnoids in this part of Warburg.

  • Rescue Alexis Cole-Duncan
    • Go through the tunnels to get to the surface
    • Defeat Marshal Blitz
    • Go inside the main building to find Alexis Cole-Duncan

Alexis Cole-Duncan, daughter of Statesman, is dead. Marshal Blitz and Malaise have been taken into custody regarding the situation.

Debriefing

Character... I... there are no words. A heroine died today, one who never stopped fighting for Paragon, even after she passed on her mantle.

You couldn't have done anything more to save her. The autopsy revealed she had been dead for at least twenty minutes before you and Manticore arrived. None of this makes sense, Character, none of it! Why would Malaise stay behind?! Why did he purposefully taunt you and Manticore like that? He could've gotten away, left the body there for you to see!

... I apologize, Character. You'll be receiving an honorary medal for your service. Alexis may be dead, but you helped bring in the leader of the Rogue Arachnos and the killer of a heroine. I can only hope that this is all over now. We will be interrogating the two, and a funeral will be held soon for Alexis.

We can't win every battle, Character, but we can at least keep our heads held high knowing that we did everything we could, and that those responsible are behind bars.
