Farnhams Legacy Plot (Page 8 of 11)
Saving Idmanckardet
So you next job is to visit the Pirate leader in Holy Vision beta. He tells you that the Pirate Base was not destroyed, but instead moved. Some near-by shipwrecks rigged with explosives (to make it look like it had be destroyed). He asks if you now belive him now about the henchmen? you say you do, as they captured Hola Ni at the Hub. Suddenly one of his contacts has alerted him to an unknown covoy. The covoy may have an Paranid onboard (Idmanckardet?). Anyway, you tell him your on the case.You need to destroy the escort of the covoy. Once done talk to the ship; dont ask it to surrender, as it will screw-up the mission (and you're have to reload) - well did for me. Idmanckardet will ask you if you know of a safe place, you tell him of your Spacelab headquarters in The Void epsilon. So he says
okay, and you have to escort to your headquarters. You dont need to worry too much, as the TP is invincible and the journey is rather uneventful too.
Once Idmanckardet has safely arrived at your headquarters you will need to talk to him. Below is the conversation you will have with Idmanckardet;
I hope you've made yourself at home already. I'm eager to hear what happened in this system before I arrived, and how you ended up on that ship.
The two-eyed underestimated the danger of this situation. We must act now or the unworthy Duke will throw us all into turmoil.
I feared you would say something like that. So, give me the short version.
Low creatures, they took over the cathedral of the gates when the calculations failed and the Old Ones shut the door to this refuge. Isolated from the indescribable power of the Empire Paranidia, they tricked us into thinking we were alone. The irrepressible will to complete the tasks set by the Pontifex Maximus Paranidia enabled us to restore what was thought to be lost.
Wait! You've managed to restore the HUB already? Then why haven't they connected the gate yet?
The rapacious nature of those who only wish to enhance their profane wealth was not concealed from us. We saw through the shadow of sabotage and falsehood, and sealed the gates again.
If the gates are closed, then what is the danger you mentioned earlier?
The seal will not hold forever. Others will break it. When they removed us from the cathedral of gates, they had already found a replacement.
A replacement?
A being from the race of a thousand waters.
You mean Hola Ni?
Yes, we remeber this name.
He's on our side. I'm sure that if he can find a way, he'll sabotage the Duke too.
It is no use. Those beings that captured them will also find a way to break them. Besides, there are others who will find a way around the seal.
So, what do we do?
We have no choice other than to break into the HUB and reactivate the gates ourselves. If the gate to the Paranid Empire is established, the holy Paranid forces will unleash their wrath and secure the cathedral again.
I should have expected something like this.
If you take us into the HUB, we will be able to break the seal and activate the gate. You will need to weaken the defences, otherwise this endeavour is doomed before it even begins.
I have some friends who could help us with this. I'll try to get in contact with them. In the meantime, I suggest you stay here and prepare for the big battle.
