Part Four: High In Demand

Briefing

So, the lead Odysseus got is this guy named James Harvan. Apparently, he's this world-famous archaeologist. Goes around the world studying ancient ruins and finding old documents, stuff like that.

Here's the kicker, though: seems that Pandora's Box is the guy's specialty. Harvan's been searching for the Box for his whole life, way before this whole empowerment fiasco. You ask me, a lifetime of failure ain't much of a resume, but if you're looking for an expert on Pandora's Box, he's probably the guy.

  • Fantastic. Where can I find him?

He's working on some kind of expedition off the coast of Albania. I already spoke with Lastri, and she's arranged transportation for you.

Word of warning, Character: Harvan's not just an expert on Pandora's Box, but a well-known expert. That means you might not be the only one looking for him. Just stay alert while you're there, and get him out ASAP. Once you've got him en route to the Mitscher, you should be in the clear.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Character, let me break this down for you. Right now? We've got some insider info. We know a guy who knows a guy, and we might be able to get some answers. But as soon as word gets out that Harvan's the man that knows Pandora's Box? You can bet he's going to disappear, and fast.

So, maybe show some hustle on this? That's my recommendation, anyway. You do what you want.

Mission Objective(s)

Map: GRANITE_CAVES_HARVAN

Dr. Harvan is the only one you know of with extensive knowledge of Pandora's Box. He's coming with you, whether he likes it or not.

  • Track down James Harvan
    • Locate Harvan
    • Talk to the student
    • Rescue Harvan
    • Talk to Harvan
    • Lead Harvan to safety
    • Defeat Arachnos!
    • Speak to Lastri

You defeated Arachnos, and escaped with Harvan unharmed.

Anxious Student

Briefing

Fear and hope flash across the student's face as he tries to gauge whether or not you are a threat. He's clearly not in a stable state of mind.

W-what's going on here? What did that woman want with Professor Harvan?

This is too freaky. Did you see those guys? Who dresses like that?

  • Get out more, kid. You've never heard of Arachnos?
The student's eyes widen in fear and recognition.
Wait... that wasn't... You mean those guys were Arachnos? Oh, man... oh man! I need to get out of here!
This is not good! Arachnos is, like, seriously dangerous! We can't be here! We'll die!
  • I can handle them kid, just tell me where Harvan is.
The student seems to calm down a bit, reacting instinctively to your confidence.
Yeah... uh, yeah, Professor Harvan. He's in the deepest section of the cave, he was... he was trying to map out the cavern structure so we could start excavating soon...
The student fidgets nervously in front of you.
Can... can I go now? I'd like to, um, leave.
  • Sure, whatever. We're done here.
  • Calm down. I need you to tell me where Doctor harvan is.
The student appears to be under the impression that you are some kind of Hero.
Professor Harvan's deeper in the cavern. He wanted to map out the cavern so that we could start excavating...
That woman wasn't the only one after him. She had more people with her. Please, you have to help the Professor!
  • Then I suppose I'd better go save him then, shouldn't I?.
  • I'm going to reinstate Nocturne's offer. Info or the arm.
The student cringes away from you.
What is WRONG with you people? We're just here on some stupid class assignment!
Still cringing, the student points deeper into the cavern.
Professor Harvan's in the back, ok? Please don't hurt me!
  • Get lost, kid. I don't want to see you again.


V archetypeicon stalker.png Ambush! You are ambushed by one wave of Arachnos
Tarantula Mistress: The target has been compromised. Destroy Character!

Briefing

Doctor Harvan appears to be somewhat flustered, but otherwise unharmed. Arachnos probably wanted him for the same reason you do.

Now see here, young man / lady! I demand to know what is going on here! We are on a licensed expedition, and if you people think you can intimidate us into-

  • Doctor, Arachnos is looking for you. I'm here to help.
Harvan's look of indignation turns to momentary doubt.
Did you say... Arachnos? Oh, dear. I suppose I should have seen this coming.
If they're here for me, then they must be searching for Pandora's Box. You see, I happen to be the foremost researcher in the field of-
  • I know, Doctor. I need to get you out of here.
Oh, oh yes, of course. I'll follow you out.
Do be careful, young man / lady. I've heard Arachnos can be quite dangerous.
  • You don't say.
  • Quiet, Doctor. You're coming with me.
Harvan puffs up with indignation.
Uncultured brute! I will not submit to your ham-handed attempts at intimidation! I demand to know the name of your employer!
  • I'm self-employed, Harvan. Now march, or I start causing pain.
Harvan stares at you for a moment, still defiant. A moment later, you see a flicker of doubt, then fear... and Harvan's shoulders slump. Silently, he nods to you.
  • Good. Follow me.
  • (Backhand Harvan across the face)
Harvan reels from the blow. When he recovers, he glares at you angrily.
How DARE you! I'll have you know that I-
  • Don't push me, Harvan. It's in your best interests to obey.
Harvan stares at you for a moment, still defiant. A moment later, you see a flicker of doubt, then fear... and Harvan's shoulders slump. Silently, he nods to you.
  • Good. Follow me.
  • (Backhand Harvan again)
This blow sends Harvan stumbling. He shakes his head roughly, regaining his senses, and starts yelling at you again.
Will you STOP-
  • You really want to go for three?
Harvan stares at you for a moment, still defiant. A moment later, you see a flicker of doubt, then fear... and Harvan's shoulders slump. Silently, he nods to you.
  • Good. Follow me.
  • (Time for another backhand)
The third attack drives Harvan to one knee. He struggles to his feet, and turns his bruised face back up to you. He opens his mouth to speak, but thinks better of it. He hangs his head, and shuffles forward to follow you.
  • That's better.


Briefing

Good day, Character. I hope you didn't mind the interruption. The Mitscher detected Arachnos reinforcements approaching, and Mr. Hill claimed he could sense Ghost Widow's presence nearby. I thought it prudent to send you some of our own resources as well.

Negotiations with Dr. Harvan are underway. It appears you've made... quite the impression on him.

  • I should hope so.

Briefing


I'll make sure Dr. Harvan has the appropriate accommodations. Arachnos apparently has the same information on his career that we do, so it would be safest to keep him aboard the Mitscher for now. I'll forward any pertinent information we obtain to Lieutenant Harriman, for your perusal.

If there's anything else, sir...?

  • That will be all, Lastri.
