=== Initial Contact ===
Hey there, {{character}}.  Happy to be talking to you at the moment, especially sans any ''beatings''.

The name is Mr. Rodney, and I'm a representative of King Midas, head of the Goldbrickers.

Now, I know perhaps you and our fine organization haven't gotten along in the past, but, well, let's just consider the past the past, right?

King Midas wishes to extend a gesture of good will towards you in the form of me helping you get what you need.  And I think I've got an idea of what we can do to help you out, so why don't we get started?

* King Midas sends his regards.

'''Briefing'''

One of the things that King Midas wishes to help you out with is your ''image,'' {{character}}.  No offense, of course.

A sign to other villains and heroes that you're a big bad around here is if you've got a ''cape''.

One of the traditional ways folks around here get their capes is by beating the snot out of a hero and stealing theirs.  A rite of passage, you could say.

I know of a way that you can find yourself a hero, and a cape, if you want to elevate your social status around here in the Isles.

'''{{green|Tell me how to find this hero.}}'''

Well, first, you'll need to get yourself to Paragon City.  There are a few ways to go about this, but King Midas is willing to provide you with a specific way, mainly through the Family in Sharkhead.

He's put in a good word for you to some of the powers that be there.  You should go talk to [[Lorenz Ansaldo]] in [[Sharkhead Isle]].  He'll be able to help you get into Paragon, but you may have to help him out with any problems he might have.

'''Unnecessary Solicitation'''

Lorenz is part of [[the Family]].  They're experts at smuggling people and goods to and from the mainland.

{{Mission Objective|Entrance=|Primary=Speak with Lorenz Ansaldo|Secondary=|Additional=|Completion=}}

{{Mission Briefing|Type=Briefing|Contact=Lorenz Ansaldo|Text=You need passage to Paragon City?  Yah, I can hook you up. I got an arrangement going with Arachnos to handle any 'special delieveries' they might have between the Rogue Isles and the mainland.  But that don't mean there ain't no price...

We got a lot of them Longbow agents snoopin' around the docks here lookin' for contraband.  I was planning on getting a few of my boys ready to beat some sense into them, but then you happen to show up!  Take down all the Longbow agents snoopin' around our warehouse here at the docks and destroy any crates of contraband they may have found.}}

'''Debriefing'''

You did it!  Even now, there are villains in the Isles speaking of your abilities in a respectful tone.

However, the heroes in Paragon do not seem too terribly please about what you've done.  But at least now when you go toe to toe with a hero, you'll have one more thing to show that you're better than them, and that's what really counts, isn't it?
