Tier Level 5
The total number of contacts at tier 5 dramatically drops from 30 (in tier 4) down to only 9, but the number of missions and badges actually goes up as compares to the previous tier. As a result, every contact has a story arc and possibly a badge mission as well.

The first of the story arcs at this tier is Ubelmann the Unknown. Both of these Mutation contacts will also give you the Redeemer badge mission. The arc is offered by the following contacts:

Second up is the The Scroll of Tielekku story arc, which also gives you the Mystical Savior badge mission. These come courtesy of the Mages:

The Science council is a bit concerned about the Devouring Earth Villian group. The third story arc at this tier is called An Unnatural Order.

The fourth story arc you can get at this point is called The Freaklympics. As the name implies, it pits you against the Freakshow, and comes to you from the Technologists:

Finally, the fifth (and last) story arc you can recieve is known as The Mysterious General Z. Note that there is only one contact that can give out this mission (Christine Landsdale). As the only representative of the Naturalists at this tier, you are guaranteed to get her as a contact.
