I am aware I won't be able to perform these quests alone unless I were to rise to C tier first. Most of these missions will involve some form of oversight/interaction/support from other members of the PTO [presumably her Direct Superior/Commanding Officer Zero, but it's not a dedicated Zero Collab Arc, so there is room for some other involvement on a case by case basis]
I couldn't find any guidelines on special Arc Rewards, but it would be really cool to come up with something interesting instead of just a bonus to statistical yield [besides the listed statistical bonus is the 'next tier' and as of yet that hasn't been published lol]
Quest Title: Seeking a diamond in the dung heap
Tier: C
Region: Earth | Eastern Green
Reward: 16k Zeni, 4k PL, 4 SP
Objective:
With a shortage of manpower and the opportunity to test this new recruit's leadership abilities and ability to operate under pressure, Commander Zero tasks Ryder with infiltrating the deepest dredges of the local PTO prison to determine if she can find anyone useful down there. An order easier said than done, given the nature of the scum that fills that level. Scum strong enough to keep on the chance they could conceivably be re-educated into useful assets, but insufficiently noble to have died on the battlefield. A hive of scum and villainy to be sure, but lurking in the depths there may be a few hidden gems... if Ryder can make it far enough to find them without becoming a snack for the metaphorical beasts that have been caged for far too long.
Shackled with Suppressors like the rest of the inmates, equipped with a tiny ear implant for minimal communications and cast into a prison full of hungry wolves, can she complete her quest and make it back intact?
Quest Title: Escaping the Trash Compactor
Tier: C
Region: Earth | Eastern Green
Reward: 16k Zeni, 4k PL, 4 SP
Objective: No sooner did Ryder report in to her Commanding Officer that she had assembled her troops than someone [be that her CO himself to test her response abilities, or perhaps an indignant underling who had it out for the earthling recruit] transmitted a message through the intercom system, exposing her identity as a PTO officer to the inmates, throwing her to the wolves with all the reason in the world to bare their fangs on a member of their captors. Could would she overcome this trial, or be crushed under the weight of the inmates and their hatred of the PTO?
Quest Title: Sanitation Services
Tier: C
Region: Earth | Eastern Green
Reward: 16k Zeni, 4k PL, 4 SP
Objective: While they managed to make their way out, Ryder and co were not the only ones to break free of the confines of the prison during their harrowing escape. As their first official duty as a unit, Ryder's Crew are tasked with the duty to chase down the escapees and clean up the trash. Or be punished accordingly for dereliction of duty.
Quest Title: Infiltration and Integration
Tier: C
Region: Earth | The Cold North
Reward: 16k Zeni, 4k PL, 4 SP
Objective: Having earned her rank, the Earthling and her crew are tasked with making their way into the Red Ribbon Army, the largest and most organized military force of the Northern Region, in order to gather intelligence on their operations, troops, equipment and report the information back to her Commanding Officer.
Quest Title: Sabotage
Tier: C
Region: Earth | The Cold North
Reward: 16k Zeni, 4k PL, 4 SP
Objective: Having discovered and reported on a research facility developing advanced Androids and Spacefaring Vessels, technology on a level competitive with that of the PTO, Ryder's squad is tasked with the responsibility to sabotage the facility. Eliminate the chief researchers, eradicate the data and destroy as much of the established tech as possible. All without getting caught if at all possible. A task easier said than done while under orders to maintain communications with her CO while the Red Ribbon are tightening their surveillance net.
Quest Title: Evading suspicion
Tier: C
Region: Earth | Cold North
Reward: 16k Zeni, 4k PL, 4 SP
Objective: With the net tightening down, Ryder has no choice but to shut down her coms and go even deeper undercover. While her CO is left to ponder her loyalties and whether or not to start the invasion early, Ryder's crew are busy deflecting suspicion on the rest of the city states in the North and maneuvering the Red Ribbon into launching a 'counter-attack' against their Northern Rivals.
Quest Title: Sending the Signal
Tier: C
Region: Earth | Cold North
Reward: 16k Zeni, 4k PL, 4 SP
Objective: Having sunk so deep into cover, it's painfully clear to Ryder that she must have come under suspicion by her superiors in the PTO by this point. She has to find a way to send a signal back to the PTO base, to get in touch with her CO and confirm the situation without falling prey to the ever tightening surveillance net the Red Ribbon have been cinching in. And eliminate any witnesses.
Quest Title: Opening the Doors
Tier: C
Region: Earth | Cold North
Reward: 16k Zeni, 4k PL, 4 SP
Objective: With her signal sent, Ryder's crew face one final mission. Disable as many of the Red Ribbon HQ's Defenses as possible and join them on the field of battle as a double agent, ready to turn on them the moment her Commanding Officer gives the signal.
