Diverting Actions

DIVERTING ACTIONS is an ACT III quest.

Setting up
The quest starts in Edward's lab, where he asks the PC to retrieve the Edward needs the illusive medal of Chochokaka, prompting the player to start A PIRATES LIFE.

After being handed the illusive medal, Edward gathers the residents of Pine Lake to explain his plan to infiltrate the CORE by creating a distraction with the Weather Machine. He then gives you the blueprints for the weather core and gets you to craft it.

With the required materials obtained and the residents of the Pine Lake ready, Edward then sets up the weather machine just South-West of Pine Lake, right next to the Dead Zone, and meets the PC there after 6 pm. They finish setting up the weather machine together and inserting the time travel parts into it.

Jason then arrives to join them, bringing a com link to stay in contact with Michael, and gives the PC an EMP Grenade.

Infiltrating the CORE
The three then start their journey up the foothills, and Edward starts singing before stopping to give the PC the remote controller to start the weather machine, which creates a large visual disturbance in the air which attracts all of the aircraft like insects to a light.

They continue their trek across the mountain until they reach the CORE Entrance, where they find that a terminal that requires a password is needed to enter. Jason calls Michael, who interrogates a robot to get the password, 2CanPie.

The three enter the bunker to find this part of it is abandoned, but Edward still drinks the 24 year old 2Can Drink. They find themselves behind another locked door, which the PC finds the password for, and they continue on to find an out of order elevator shaft, which they rappel down, to Edward's discomfort.

They reach a seal, which Edward opens with his laser, leading into some kind of gigantic, circular magnetic field generator for the Uroruh Time Machine. They go past it into the middle of the facility.

They find the CORE, and Edward is shocked to find out that it is his training bot, which got abandoned in 33 AD. They then realize that administrator P.E.N. is actually a pencil. They decide that they need to break the pencil, so the PC finds the password to the door and enters the chamber, breaking the pencil while avoiding laser blasts from the training bot.

The training bot recognizes Edward, and accepts his authority. However, due to its technical limitations, the training bot cannot cancel orders it has given to its robotic minions, and its last order was to protect itself.

Battle for the CORE
Edward, Jason, and the PC find themselves surrounded by the CORE's robotic minions, and they have three minutes to set up some AI Turrets. A massive fight breaks out, and the trio managed comes out on top, however Edward gets injured in the process.

Micheal calls in to inform them that Pine Lake is under attack, and so the PC leaves in an elevator to go back to the town as quickly as possible to help as Jason stays back to reason with the CORE.

Battle of Pine Lake
The PC travels to Pine Lake in the early morning as aircraft on their side fly overhead while music plays.

He reaches Pine Lake to find it surrounded by many robotic units engaging with the residents of the town, laser fire flying everywhere. He goes to the center of the town to meet with Micheal, when Tom comes to warn them of an artillery tank that is approaching from the South road. Micheal sends the PC to the outpost there to stop it.

The PC can destroy the tank with EMP Grenades. He then reports back to Micheal, before all the robots finally get deactivated. Jason arrives to tell the PC that they need to get back to the CORE, where Edward is waiting.

Leaving
Jason and the PC take the car to Edward on the top of the CORE.

Edward realizes that the time machine is broken, and they will have to use the magnetic accelerator tunnel in the CORE to time travel.

Meanwhile, Jason sees that the Great Leader has sent a naval fleet from St. Andrey.

Edward sends Jason back, telling him that he and the PC will stay behind to blow up the place.

The two leave in the time machine, before the training bot self-destructs the CORE. The residents of Pine Lake presume the them in to be dead, and they evacuate the island on boats.

Edward and the PC then arrive on the bridge on November the 1st, 1989, at 5 AM.
