The Lepharists seem to think they're doing what's best for the common Atreian. If I squinted and stared hard at some of their acts, I'd almost believe them.

But some of the things they're responsible for...I just don't see how they could possibly delude themselves into thinking WE'RE the evil ones.

Their experiments...what they do to living beings.... It turns my stomach, and I have a strong stomach, Player.

Player: "Any decent human would be shocked."

You can say that again. RM-78c is one of the worst of their "test subjects." It's hideous, powerful, and possesses animal cunning.

If we could show Elysea what the Lepharists are really doing behind closed doors, maybe we could blunt their recruitment.

I want you to hunt down and destroy RM-78c. Then I can spread your story throughout the world, show the Lepharists' true colors.

Player: Accept.

Maybe those who're vulnerable to the Lepharists' lies will just dismiss this as deception on our part. But I think we need to give this a try.

If nothing else, we'll show our strength by taking down one of their greatest "creations."

The Aetherogenetics Lab is where you'll find RM-78c. Good luck. I think you'll need it.

Player: "Thanks...I think."

I've already got a whispering campaign set up. All I need is to get them a report of victory against RM-78c.

You saw it, didn't you? Defeated it? Was it as grotesque as I said?

Player: "Worse."

Hmph, I thought so. That's what Lepharists are really like, Player. That's what they want for Atreia.

Their goals would be laudible, if they weren't so obvious smoke screens. I wonder what they really truly want?

But that's my job. You already did yours. Take this as your reward.
