— Event Message #1 - Operation: Archangel [src] |
“ | The Highway Zealots believe the first inhabitants of earth buried relics that held the power to end civilizations. The assembly of these lethal artifiacts is the final step in the Zealot's plan to cleanse the earth of the unrighteous. Will you be too late? | ” |
— Event Message #2 - Operation: Archangel [src] |
“ | The Highway Zealots have begun airlifting relics to a second location where the assembly is taking place. Your mission is simple: destroy their helipads and disrupt the airlift. The future's in your hands, Commander - it's time to prove yourself. | ” |

Operation: Desert Recon
“ | Highway Zealots scripture states that the first inhabitants of Earth buried ancient relics that, when combined, held the power to end entire civilizations. Is it possible for this doctrine to become a reality? Hope for the best, Commander - but prepare for the ... | ” |
— Event Message #1 - Operation: Desert Recon [src] |
“ | Desert Compounds functioning as dig sites have begun to appear all over the World Map. The collection of these artifacts is the final step in the Highway Zealot's strategy to cleanse the earth of the unrighteous. Hunt the Zealots dwon Commander. | ” |
— Event Message #2 - Operation: Desert Recon [src] |
“ | The Highway Zealot's plan is dangerously close to complete. Hit the World Map and hunt down Outposts and Desert Compounds while there's still time. Operation: Desert Recon begins in less than 24 hours. Best of luck Commander! | ” |
— Event Message #3 - Operation: Desert Recon [src] |
“ | Operation: Desert Recon has begun! Hunt down the Highway Zealots before it's too late. Do enough damage and the Viper Mech could be yours. God speed, Commander! | ” |
— Event Message #4 - Operation: Desert Recon [src] |
“ | Less than 24 hours left to stop the Highway Zealots. Strap in and prepare for the final push, Commander! | ” |
— Event Message #5 - Operation: Desert Recon [src] |
“ | You've done it again, Commander! The Highway Zealots are in shambles. You may have won the battle... but the war rages on! | ” |
— Event Message #6 - Operation: Desert Recon [src] |
Operation: Roadkill
“ | Veng plans to lead his Highway Zealots in a scorched Earth campaign against the Survivors, Corpus, and Sentinels alike. He must be truly mad. | ” |
— Event Message #1 - Operation: Roadkill [src] |
“ | The Highway Zealots are infatuated with the Relic, an archaic Hard Drive from before the Great War. Malachi believes the Hard Drive stored the Machine God, which has now been unleashed due to its exposure to RUBI. However, no evidence of this is apparent, except for a mysterious gap in RUBI's memory banks which Malachi blames on the Machine God Itself. | ” |
— Event Message #2 - Operation: Roadkill [src] |
“ | Kara does think Malachi believes what he says, but she sure as hell doesn't. She believes Shadow has answers, since she was the one to break the drive's encryption before passing it to RUBI. We must continue our campaign against the Highway Zealots, but also see if we can learn what, if anything, Corpus did to corrupt RUBI. | ” |
— Event Message #3 - Operation: Roadkill [src] |
“ | Veng believes he can successfully wage war against the Survivors, Corpus, and the Sentinels simultaneously, Malachi believes he's unleashed the Machine God, and Kara suspects Shadow may have tampered with RUBI. This is quite the mess. For now, we continue our campaign against the Zealots and temporarily ally with Shadow and Corpus, to see what we can learn about her involvement whit the RUBI's memory lapse. | ” |
— Event Message #4 - Operation: Roadkill [src] |
“ | The Highway Zealots aren't giving up, Commander... and neither should we! | ” |
— Event Message #5 - Operation: Roadkill [src] |
“ | Rather than fighting a war he can not win against three Factions, Veng's plan all along was to destroy the entire Sector with a thorium bomb to protect the world from some unseen threat. Whether or not this threat is actually the "Machine God" as Malachi claims or something else entirely doesn't matter! If we don't stop Veng, the entire Sector will be destroyed... and us along with it. | ” |
— Event Message #6 - Operation: Roadkill [src] |
Operation: The Greater Good
“ | Veng has been overextending his Highway Zealot troops, creating skirmishes on every front, but it's an effort he clearly can't maintain. However, it turns out that all his posturing is merely a distraction, diverting attention from his efforts to amass a staggering amount of Thorium. | ” |
— Event Message #1 - Operation: The Greater Good [src] |
“ | His goal is simple: create a Thorium Bomb, which would have the power to destroy the entire Sector. It seems that he is willing to sacrifice his own life in the process. But why? We still don't have a definitive answer. | ” |
— Event Message #2 - Operation: The Greater Good [src] |
“ | We must hunt down Veng and figure out where he is hiding his Thorium Bomb, since destroying it is the only way we can ensure the safety of the entire Sector. To our surprise, we recently received a message from Malachi, who claims to know where Veng is hiding, but he's asking for our help to take him out. Though it makes us uncomfortable, with the entire Sector on the line, we can't turn down our only lead. | ” |
— Event Message #3 - Operation: The Greater Good [src] |
“ | Veng has overextended his forces in an attempt to distract us from his true goal: creating a Thorium Bomb and destroying the whole Sector. We still don't fully understand why Veng is willing to sacrifice himself and his forces, but he seems to think it's for the greater good. However, knowing his motivations is secondary to actually stopping him. With the entire Sector at stake, the Factions of the Sector must unite against Veng and his Highway Zealots. | ” |
— Event Message #4 - Operation: The Greater Good [src] |
“ | The Highway Zealots aren't giving up, Commander... and neither should we! | ” |
— Event Message #5 - Operation: The Greater Good [src] |
“ | We've done it, Commander. Veng escaped our grasp, but his forces have been greatly diminished and, more importantly the Thorium Bombs have been destroyed. The Sector is safe for now. However, with the threat of Veng so greatly reduced, the Factions no longer need to maintain their tenuous alliance... | ” |
— Event Message #6 - Operation: The Greater Good [src] |
Operation: Into Chaos
“ | After creating several failed prototypes, Veng and his Highway Zealots successfully created his sector-destroying Thorium Bomb. Fortunately, with the aid of Malachi and the Sentinels, we were able to destroy it before it could be fully armed. | ” |
— Event Message #1 - Operation: Into Chaos [src] |
“ | Further, since Veng had over-extended his forces to try and distract us from the bomb's construction, his overall power is now greatly diminished. Though his threat is not exactly trivial, the Sector is no longer in grave danger. | ” |
— Event Message #2 - Operation: Into Chaos [src] |
“ | However, with the Highway Zealot threat reduced, the primary Factions have lost their common enemy and a power vacuum has been created. And so, with the Survivors, Corpus, and Sentinels all vying for dominance again, the entire sector is falling into chaos. We must pick a side... | ” |
— Event Message #3 - Operation: Into Chaos [src] |
“ | With the aid of Malachi and the Sentinels, we were able to destroy Veng's Thorium Bomb before it could be fully armed, thus saving the Sector. Though Veng remains a threat, his power has been greatly diminished. This has left a power vacuum, causing the Survivors, Corpus, and the Sentinels to once again vie fro dominance. And so, with the Sector devolving into chaos, it is time to choose a side. | ” |
— Event Message #4 - Operation: Into Chaos [src] |
“ | The war rages on Commander, we have a day left to tip the balance. | ” |
— Event Message #5 - Operation: Into Chaos [src] |
“ | Commander, no Faction has emerged the clear victor of this conflict. However, we have made a strong case to Veng that we might better serve the Sector together as allies, rather than enemies. Is Veng seriously considering our offer? Time will tell... | ” |
— Event Message #6 - Operation: Into Chaos [src] |
Nightmare: Into Chaos
“ | After creating several failded prototypes, Veng and his Highway Zealots successfully created his sector-destroying Thorium Bomb. We stopped it... but what if we hadn't? Nightmare: Into Chaos explores this hypothetical scenario. This weekend, battle in a world where the Factions are fighting over a dying Sector. Be ready for high difficulty, double XP payouts,and a whole new type of prize! | ” |
— Event Message #4 - Nightmare: Into Chaos [src] |
“ | The Sector is dying, Commander. We've got one day left before it's all over and we better make the best of it. | ” |
— Event Message #5 - Nightmare: Into Chaos [src] |
“ | Well, Commander... it's a good thing we diffused that Thorium Bomb so none of this actually happened. | ” |
— Event Message #6 - Nightmare: Into Chaos [src] |
