Mission:Division: Line - Travel to a parallel dimension and disrupt whatever the Rikti are doing

Travel to a parallel dimension and disrupt whatever the Rikti are doing

Briefing

Portal Corporation researchers have reported a major disturbance in the interdimensional substrate following the detection of a Rikti interdimensional transit to a parallel Earth. It is unlikely anything they have recorded before. The Rikti expedition to that parallel world matches a similar mission mentioned in the decrypted portions of the orders you captured on the Restructurist leader Lu'Bew. It is my belief that the detected disturbance is part of the Restructurists' larger plan. As such, I am taking the initiative during this potential crisis and requesting that you travel to this parallel dimension and disrupt whatever activity the Rikti are working toward.

• Travel to a parallel dimension and disrupt whatever the Rikti are doing

Your access has already been cleared. Your primary objective is to ensure that the Rikti are unable to find a path to their home Earth from the alternate world. This can be accomplished either by disrupting their portal generation equipment, or by defeating all Rikti at the transit site.

This is pure speculation on my part, but I suspect that one or more Rikti Magus will be at the transfer site as well. I think I understand how this is beginning to fit together.

The barrier's true nature

You found this data on portal devices being used as part of a ceremony conducted by Rikti Magi. These modified versions of the portal devices the Rikti had stolen from Portal Corporation were made not to attempt to open a gateway between worlds, but to analyze a barrier that cuts a world off in a very unique way. The conclusion of the analysis is that there is no normal energy or physical barrier surrounding the Rikti's home Earth, but that there is a strange force separating that world from the rest of the multiverse. A force unquantificable by even Rikti science. A force that might be called magic.

Debriefing

As readings from the Rikti expedition indicate and I had suspected, the Rikti believe that the barrier sealing off their homeworld is magical in nature. The Omega Team that shut down the Rikti/Earth portal was comprised mostly of mystically gifted heroes. None of the ones who traveled to Rikti Earth returned, but the portal was destroyed, and Rikti Earth sealed off. If the barrier around the Rikti homeworld is of a magical origin, it would explain why it has not been breached from either side.

The decrypted plans you captured on the Restructurist leader Lu'Bew were shown to the Traditionalist leader C'Kelkah. Her reaction was characterized as "extreme". Coupled with our knowledge that the Rikti now possess mages from transformed Lost with Mu blood, the final phase of this operation becomes apparent. I will have more information for you shortly. This will be over soon.
