Test Infected anti-serum on Stricken

As a scientist, one must always have contingency plans in place in case something goes wrong. What's the point in creating an army of super-powered zombie-men when they can turn on you at any moment and rend you limb from limb? It's extremely counter-productive to any long-term goals of world domination!

As a part of risk mitigation I have developed a new Infected 'anti-serum' which causes the chemical equivalent of a chain reaction in weaker Infected, with some rather spectatular results! The least of the Infected are called the Stricken - they have the right bio-chemical balance to trigger the effect we're looking for. Go out and test the anti-serum on the Stricken!

A pack of these Infected have broken into a local warehouse. It should be a good testing ground for the anti-serum. As an added bonus, I can later use it as a testing ground for my experiments! Ha ha! Two birds with one stone!

I take it the anti-serum is working effectively? Good!

I discovered something rather important whle you were away...

Most impressive, Dr. Ledot! Most impressive!

Rescue Arachnos informant

While you were off testing the Infected anti-serum was contacted by a member of Arachnos who says he has more information on the source of the contaminant in the water which produces the Infected. Unfortuntately, the idiot got himself captured by Longbow before he was able to deliver me the interrogation. Break into the warehouse and capture the Arachnos informant from Longbow!

Bring me back the Arachnos informant intact! He's useless to me unconscious!

Looks like Longbow has secretly dug into this warehouse.

Mission Complete: You rescued the Arachnos informant!

Arachnos Informant Info

The Arachnos Informant tells you that he's been doing guard duty at Fort Cerberus. In a high-security area of the Fort is a secret laboratory where a scientist known as Doctor Geist is rumoured to be performing biochemical experiments with the resulting effluence being pumped into the Mercy Island cesspools.

WHAT? Doctor Geist was once a colleague of mine who stole my mutation theories for himself! Arachnos is letting one of my greatest rivals run medical experiments in their labs? And the waste from these experiments is what is causing the Infected? I must know what he is up to!

Interrogate Doctor Geist

So my old rival Doctor Geist sold out to Arachnos and is doing medical experiments for them, eh? And the waste from those experiments is ending up in the cesspools of Mercy and causing the Infected to come about? I must know more about those experiments! Break into Fort Cerberus and get the information out of Doctor Geist!

Make Doctor Geist pay for his treachery! Find what he knows to I may seize the knowledge for myself!

Somewhere within this section of Fort Cerberus is the notorious Arachnos scientist known as Doctor Geist! Make him pay for his treachery!

Objective: You found something.

Doctor Geist's Research Data

Doctor Geist's research data contains all kinds of information on biochemical processes of Arachnoids, some sort of human-spider mutant hybrid. Non-living speciments of these creatures were shipped to Fort Cerberus for further study from a place called Grandville.

Objective: You destroyed the lab equipment!

Mission Complete: You defeated Doctor Geist!

You defeated Doctor Geist? AND you discovered what he wa sup to? Excellent! Most excellent! With this information I will rule the WORLD! Muhahaha!
