Azure Huntress

With the help of the heroes you rescued, as well as the information you discovered, I have successfully identified the cloning facility. It is an old Crey laboratory here in Paragon City that was supposedly abandoned and sold off last year. I could not confirm that it is still secretly run by Crey. According to the heroes' statements, they may or may not be framed by the cloners. We don't know the cloners' intentions, but they can't be good. Even more importantly, we must free whoever is held captive by them.

Shut down the cloning lab

Azure Huntress

My investigation has become semi-public by now, so I've seemingly shifted my attention to wrong leads. It might allow you to surprise attack the cloners.

Raid the laboratory

Azure Huntress

Remember there may be more captives held at the lab. I don't know what they do to them but I expect it to be horrible.

Time to bring this operation to light.

• Find the captive
• Find a lead
• 2 enemy leaders to defeat

Operative Tyrani dialogue Before combat: Keep working, guys! We don't want my supplier to stop sending incantine! Combat start: Oh, Satan damn it … Takes damage: Everybody! Get the intruders!

Garglesmash dialogue Before combat: Arachnos: For the last time, are you joining us or not? Garglesmash: I'm thinking, I'm thinking! Combat start: Arachnos: Intruders! Garglesmash: Heroes? What took them so long? Once free: I don't know if I can trust you, but if you're crushing their heads I'm in. Defeats an enemy: He asked for it. If lost: Damn, where's that hero again … If refound: Let's beat the hell out of them. 75% Health: I'm used to this now. 25% Health: Hello? I could use some help here! Defeated: Oof …

	Garglesmash's information
	"You wanna know what's going on here? Simple. They collect metahuman DNA, experiment with it and create a clone army. Once it's large enough, and I think that's almost the case, they're gonna try it in Paragon's underground. I don't know who their leader is, but she appears familiar …"

Huntress clone? dialogue Before combat: We clone more. Boss wants to wait no longer. Description: This one appears to be a full-grown clone of Azure Huntress … and the leader of the cloners. Combat start: Kill heroes! Defeats a player: Lock up immediately. Takes damage: Kill heroes! 50% Health: Kill damn heroes! Defeated: Nooooooooo!

The defeated villains manage to activate a self-destruct mechanism. You escape in time, but most of the lab is destroyed.

Azure Huntress

As far as we can tell, the lab you took out was the only one. Unfortunately, the clones and most of the soldiers were addicted to a drug called incantine, which is custom-made by both scientific and magical means and ensured their loyalty. Most of them fought to the death as a result, and even the survivors will probably die from their addiction. The cloning lab was based upon stolen Crey technology, but also used some magic. This pretty much confirms that Crey weren't actually involved, and the company has already promised to help the young heroes you rescued with their future career. Of course, Synapse and Manticore would probably say they secretly run another project like this. The drug implies that this was not an official Arachnos operation, and the clone of … me was apparently several months old. I do have a suspicion who really controlled her and the soldiers, but we'd have to venture into the Rogue Isles to find out more, which is not feasible at this time.

Notes

• Operative Tyrani was named after Darth Tyranus.
