1) Defeat
the Devouring Earth before they can mount a full attack |

Mission: Stop Devouring
Earth raid |
|
Selection Text: |
I have something that needs your attention,
[HERO]. Devouring Earth creatures have been spotted massing in a
warehouse. They're trashing the place, but I don't think that's the
sum of their plan. There's a good chance that their masters are
planning some kind of raid and are using the place as a rally
point. If you can defeat
the Devouring Earth before they can mount a full attack, we could
save a lot of people and property. |

Souvenir: Will of the
Earth sample
It began when your contact sent you to investigate a Devouring Earth
raid. After stopping the destruction, you learned that the creatures
were after some biotechnology equipment. So it came as no surprise when
your contact sent you to protect Lomad Labs, a biotechnology firm, from
the creatures. However, you were appalled to learn that, in addition to
equipment, the Devouring Earth was making off with Lomad's scientists.
You hastened after the kidnapped scientists and managed to rescue many
of them. One of the hostages informed you that the Devouring Earth had
also abducted several mystics from the area. Your contact sent you to a
nearby 5th Column base to seek clues to the location of these missing
magicians. A 5th Column file tipped you off o the Devouring Earth's base
location, and you saved the missing mystics. However, you learned of two
more hostages the Devouring Earth still held in its clutches.
You set off at once to rescue Professor August P. Lovelethe and Dr.
Achilles Theron. Although you saved the professor, you learned that Dr.
Theron might not want to be rescued. Indeed, it seemed he was in league
with the Devouring Earth!
The doctor planned to help the Devouring Earth release a terrible
mutagen into the city's water system. You prevented this vile plan, and
recovered a sample of the mutagen, the Will of the Earth. It was strange
stuff, this mutagen. You could hear a mental voice emanating from it. By
listening to this voice, you were able to track down the last remnants
of the mutagen. In doing so, you came face to face with the treacherous
Dr. Theron. You defeated the doctor, now a hideous Devouring Earth
creature, and recovered the Will of the Earth.
