Dialogue[]
Caption: Harried but unharmed, Carina, Civil Warrior, and the Summoner return to Avenger’s Tower and quietly re-enter the discussion hall.
Ægon: Carina! Where have you been? You vanished for some time.
Carina: Sorry Stardust, we were--
Civil Warrior: Later, Carina. We’ll explain in time Ægon, right now we’ve got some bad guys to dig up.
Carina: You’re right. I’ll rejoin the negotiations. You two go on a “patrol” and see what you find.
Civil Warrior: Roger that.
- Transmission #1 - Upon starting the Quest
Civil Warrior: ...and that’s the situation. By our reckoning the spy should still be in the building.
Ægon: Most alarming. I will remain with Carina to deter aggression. Good hunting.
Civil Warrior: We’ll leave the diplomacy to you. Activating scanner; let’s see where our target is.
Caption: Civil Warrior’s visor beeps twice, then emits a low hum. He glances around, then pauses abruptly.
Civil Warrior: ... uh oh.
Civil Warrior: I’m picking up multiple signatures. We’ll have to take them down quickly, before we get more surprises.
Civil Warrior: We’ll corral all three targets into one area and put them down at once. They won’t be able to hide any longer.
Civil Warrior: With any luck, one of them will be Scytalis. Let’s move!

Civil Warrior: Lost, Wasp?
Wasp: N-no, I was just…
Civil Warrior: Stand down. We know that you’re working with Ouroboros, and that you’re not who you say you are.
Wasp: Then there’s no point in hiding! My life for Ouroboros!
Civil Warrior: Another Adaptoid copy! Don’t hold back, Summoner!
- Transmission #3A - Before fighting Wasp
Civil Warrior: This definitely isn’t our Scytalis.
Hercules: What-ho? I’ve never heard such a name, friends.
Civil Warrior: And it isn’t Hercules, either. That magical illusion won’t work on us, Adaptoid.
Hercules: T’would seem my little performance is at an end!
Hercules: Do not doubt my skills otherwise, fools! I have the strength of Hercules himself!
- Transmission #3B - Before fighting Hercules
Daredevil (Hell's Kitchen): ...
Civil Warrior: I think this one already knows we know. Drop the weapons, Adaptoid.
Daredevil (Hell's Kitchen): You think you've won, but we're everywhere. Ouroboros will not be stopped.
Daredevil (Hell's Kitchen): But I'm not going to waste my time fighting this entire tower.
Daredevil (Hell's Kitchen): Taking apart one puny human before I make my escape will be simple!
- Transmission #3C - Before fighting Daredevil (Hell's Kitchen)
Civil Warrior: Nothing but Adaptoids. We’ve cleaned up the loose ends, but this “Scytalis” is still at large.
Civil Warrior: We need to reconvene with Carina and figure out next steps.
