..."Listen, and understand. That Annihilator golem is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until Sarah, Keiran and Gwen are dead."

Corporal Bane in Embark Beach (April Fools' Day)



"The future has not been written. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves. I wish I could believe that. My name is Gwen Thackeray. They tried to murder me before I was born. When I was 13, they tried again. Machines from the future. Annihilators. All my life my mother told me the storm was coming - Searing Day, Foefire... the beginning of a war between Human and Charr. Three million lives were vanished in an instant. And I would lead what was left of the human race to ultimate victory. It hasn’t happened... yet."

Annihilator 4: Salvation of Ebonhawke is an April Fools' Day quest asking you to save Gwen IN THE FUTURE from a time-traveling Annihilator golem.

Plot summary[edit]

Gwen leads a Ebon Vanguard attack on a Charr base. Gwen discovers human prisoners and schematics for a new type of Annihilator Golem incorporating living tissue, but she is the only apparent survivor of the attack after the base is destroyed in a magical explosion. However, the <--insert--> later emerges from the wreckage of the base and proceeds on foot to Ebonhawke.

Gwen returns to Ebon Vanguard headquarters and tells <--insert-->, of her discovery. Meanwhile, the Ebon Vanguard has discovered <--insert--> believed to be capable of sending an order to shut down Golem machines. They plan to launch an offensive against the <--insert--> base in <--insert--> in four days, in response to an intercepted "kill list" indicating that <--insert--> plans to kill the Ebon Vanguard's command staff. Gwen learns that her own name is second on the list, following a civilian named <--insert-->. The Ebon Vanguard leaders are unaware of Bane's importance, but Gwen knows that it is because <--insert--> will later become her father (as depicted in The Terminator). (How <--insert--> knows of <--insert--> importance is never explained.) Gwen meets with her husband Thackeray, and transmits a <--insert--> to Ebon Vanguard members and surviving civilians around Tyria.

Arriving in the ruins of <--insert-->, <--insert--> is saved from a G-600 Annihilator Golem by Corporal Bane and his <--player character--> companion. Bane informs <--insert--> about the war between humans and charr. Hearing Gwen's <--insert-->, the three leave <--insert--> in search of the Ebon Vanguard. They survive an attack, but they and several other humans are taken prisoner.

Two A.R.E.N.A. KT29-Moahawk aircrafts are shot down when they try to intercept the machine transport and its escorts. <--insert--> locates downed pilot <--insert--> and they make their way to Gwen's base, but <--insert--> is wounded by a magnetic land mine. Attempting to save his life, the Ebon Vanguard fighters discover that he is a Golem, with a mechanical endoskeleton, circuitry, and a partially artificial cerebral cortex. <--insert--> believes himself to be human, but Gwen thinks that <--insert--> has been sent to kill her, as with previous Annihilator Golems sent by the Charr, and orders his destruction. However, <--insert--> helps <--insert--> escape from the base. During the pursuit, <--insert--> saves Gwen's life from Skynet hydrobots, and the two make a bargain: <--insert--> will enter <--insert--> headquarters and attempt to help Gwen rescue <--insert--> and the other prisoners.

Gwen delays the Ebon Vanguards' attack and they await her signal. <--insert--> enters the Charr-controlled Asuran time-gate, interfaces with the Charr-controlled G.O.L.E.M. site, and disables the perimeter defenses so that Gwen can infiltrate the cell block and release the human prisoners. <--insert--> discovers that he was created by <--insert--> in order to lure Gwen to the base; when the Ebon Vanguard launches its attack, Gwen will be killed, achieving the goal that <--insert--> had failed to accomplish so many times. The <--insert--> that the Ebon Vanguard's plan depends on is a ruse, and <--insert--> uses the signal to track down and destroy the Ebon Vanguard leaders.

<--insert--> tears out the hardware linking him to <--insert--> and assists Gwen in battling a new G-800 model 101 Annihilator Golem. Gwen is mortally wounded during the fight, but succeeds in destroying the <--insert--> base by rigging several magical micro golems fuel cells to explode, detonating them as she, <--insert-->, Corporal Bane, and <--player character--> are airlifted out. Thackeray attempts to save Gwen's life, but her life-force is beyond Dwayna's healing magic. <--insert--> offers his own life-force, sacrificing himself to resurrect Gwen. Recovering, Gwens' speech informs the Ebon Vanguard survivors that though this battle has been won, the war with the Charr is far from over. [edit]

A.R.E.N.A. commandos and the player-character are tasked with stopping this mission from succeeding to save the future, etc.
