Apparently re reading my post I see that the idea of defecting to Warburg sort of comes out of nowhere. I meant to say that Gossamer, the Rogue Fortunata, could offer this path.

potential SPOILERS for anyone who hasn't played an Arachnos before. I know we can use Architect Entertainment to make our own stories. But I also know our fine Homecoming devs they are making new story arcs too. So what if your Widow or Soldier....doesn't care about being a Destined One? What if they just want to climb the ranks of Arachnos and stick it to the heroes/Longbow/Paragon City? And of course keeping the other factions in the Rogue Isles under control. The closest contact/arc I can think of like this in the game is Operative Kirkland. And perhaps the mission that is part of the "Are you a Destined One" story arc that has you "rescue" a potential Fortunata seer from Paragon City. The "typical" Arachnos Widow/Soldier would have mission arcs about rising through the ranks of Arachnos. Much of this would include the in-fighting of Arachnos, as well as fighting the Warburg faction. As well as fighting Council, Legacy Chain, Wyvern, Longbow, etc. Perhaps the Radio would have one additional mission for Arachnos on this career path. The midgame would include an arc about the Mu vs the Circle of Thorns, an in depth study of the Tarantula program. Perhaps with the opportunity for Widows to respec into a Tarantula Mistress? Missions to what is left of Praetoria to plumb it's secrets, some of which can already be seen in game. High end missions might include the Red Widow (and for the Warburg Spies, Marshall Blitz) as patrons, as well as the usual options. Other arcs could include the nature of relations and rivalries between Arachnos, Nemesis, and the Malta Group. Patron missions would be the same, but at the end instead of fighting Recluse, there could be a two parter; one part would be a special mission for your Patron be above all others. (Red Widow might be trying to replace Ghost Widow; Marshall Blitz would be looking for intel on Relcuse) the second part would be to lead a massive raid of Arachnos on Paragon City itself.

I have more blue characters than red but that's because my blue characters are mostly for teaming with my room mate. Redside I'm mostly solo but I've had some good rando teamups there. I like Praetoria, I do, but the sewer navigation is a #$%$^$^

If this is the wrong forum I apologize, but Help doesn't seem the right place either. On redside, if you fail the mission to extract the Nictus from yourself, do the powers become permanent or...?

This is the two part mission about a Council spy amongst Arachnos. First part being to find out who the Council spy is, the second being that you invade the Arachnos base to catch the spy, which you only have an hour to do. So I finish the first mission no problem, head to the second, get in the door and start fighting, and even though I still had more than 50 minutes left, the mission abruptly ends and I'm told I failed. Is there a bug with timed missions? The one previous one I'd done I had no problem.

I wasn't there at the VERY beginning, but joined a couple months later, and stayed till the end. Favorite memories include me and my roomie playing scrapper and tank respectively, smashing and bashing Family and Tsoo around Independence Port. I really loved when CoV came out and missed the various incarnations of my Night Widow terribly. So glad to have her back.
