Introductions

Contact Introduced By

Nobody. Sunstorm is the initial contact for Peacebringers.

New Contact(s)

• Detective Jose Brogan

You should think about talking to Detective Jose Brogan. He's pretty intense, but he's a great cop and a good person to know if you are looking for information on the Lost. His beat is Atlas Park.

Detective Brogan will let you in on some interesting cases.

• Vic Johansson

Vic Johansson's good police. He'll steer you towards some interesting opportunities involving the Lost, and help smooth things over with law enforcement. His beat is Kings Row.

Vic is good people, Character. You will enjoy working with him.

• Rachel Torres

There's a detective who you should meet. Rachel Torres knows all about the happenings on the streets, and can probably give you good leads on the Lost. She can be located in Galaxy City.

Detective Torres is tough and efficient; you might learn a thing or two from her.

Information

Peacebringer Coordinator

When the Kheldian warrior called Perihelion arrived on Earth, it sought a human warrior with courage and strength to match its own as a host. When it spied a uniformed human facing certain death against insurmountable odds to stop a tide of unliving monsters, it thought that it had found a soldier who would be a perfect match. It offered the embattled Sgt. Benjamin Carter the opportunity to bond, and form a powerful Kheldian Peacebringer. The two joined in that moment to form the being called Sunstorm, and handily defeated the surrounding Vahzilok.

What Perihelion didn't realize was that Sgt. Carter wasn't a soldier like it expected, but an upstanding member of the Paragon Police Department. As a result, Sunstorm is not as martial and merciless as Perihelion, having been tempered by Carter's high ideals. This has turned out to be quite a blessing. Sunstorm is often able to see new solutions to problems.

Sunstorm usually coordinates the activities of his fellow Peacebringers on Earth. While he holds no real rank over the rest of his kind, wise Peacebringers listen to what he has to say.

Not a Peacebringer

Yes, Character. I am a Peacebringer. I know you're concerned by our presence, but I assure you, we're here to help. Since every Peacebringer is formed by fusing a Kheldian alien and a human from Earth, in many ways this is our home world, too. We want to see Earth free and peaceful just as much as you do.

Initial Contact

Welcome to the start of your new life as a Peacebringer. I know you probably have a lot of questions, so let's get started.

Greeting

• Your powers are integrating well, Character.
• Are you ready to do your duty as a Peacebringer?
• There's a lot of work out there for Peacebringers, Character.

Too Busy

You've been keeping busy, Character, but don't overdo it. You need to finish all of your other tasks before I can give you more to do.

Too Low Level

I'm going to need your help for something soon, but I'd feel better if you developed your powers more before I gave it to you. Check back with me at roughly 5 Security level intervals. There may be new things for you to do.

The Peace Killers (Level 5 - 10)

Template:MeritAward

Souvenir

A non-functional Quantum Array Gun

When you bonded with a Kheldian energy being and were transformed into a Peacebringer, you knew that these great new powers you'd been given could earn you new enemies. It was on a mission to find out about some of the new enemies you'd encountered that you discovered the origins of

The Peace Killers.

It all started when you were asked to investigate the origins of the mysterious new Quantum Array weapons designed specifically to hurt Kheldians. The First step in your investigation took you into battle with the Skulls. A Skull leader had been bragging about the new weapons he was about to get. You applied some pressure, and found out where the Skulls were storing their Quantum Array Guns.

Moving on that information, you hit the warehouse the Skulls were stockpiling their new gear in, only to find that the Hellions were also on the scene. In your battle to secure the warehouse, you learned from one of the defeated Hellions that they were about to make a weapons buy themselves.

Wasting little time, you went it to break up the deal. You found Council operatives on the scene making the deal with the Hellions, and learned that a new shipment of weapons had just come into town and was just being tested before the sale.

You found the Council's test site and defeated them, securing the shipment of Quantum Array weapons in the process. You also discovered that the weapons were being manufactured by the Council themselves.

With information gained in your last adventure, you were able to locate the base where the Quantum Array Guns were being sent. You cleaned out the base, and learned two interesting facts. First, that the Council is having a lot of trouble producing Quantum Array Guns to Arakhn's specifications. Secondly, that the Void Hunters Mercenaries are being sent out by the Council to work with many villain groups as a second way to strike against the Kheldians.

You bravely struck a Council base that had been supporting Void Hunter Mercenaries. You captured the base commander, and discovered that the Void Hunters had been created specifically to attack Kheldians, using something called a 'Nictus fragment'

The full details and ramifications of what you discovered may take some time, but for now you've shed light on the forces arrayed against you and all other Peacebringers. With a foe as implacable as the Council, it's a battle that is sure to last for a long time to come.

Find the source of the Quantum Array weapons

The Peace Killers
Part: One

Briefing

Reports from our people and from the Warshades we keep in contact with have confirmed that someone has been supplying the city's criminal organizations with new weapons designed specifically to harm us, and empowered mercenaries whose abilities are inimical to our existence. It is imperative that we discover who is supplying these Quantum Array weapons and why.

I have received a lead from friends on the police force that the Skulls have just received a shipment of these weapons. Finding that shipment could be the first step in finding the source of these weapons.

Mission Acceptance

I am sending you to a small cavern hideout owned by the Skulls. Your goal will be to confront Wrack, a well-connected lieutenant in the Skulls who has been talking about the new weapons he is about to receive. Get what information you can from him, and we will proceed from there.

Unnecessary Solicitation

needs data

Mission Objective(s)

• Get information from Wrack

You got the information you were looking for from Wrack's group.

Enemies

Skulls

Notable NPCs

• Wrack (Skull Bone Daddy, Lieutenant)

Wrack: You gonna get beaten!

Debriefing

This information will be certainly helpful to us. Now that we know where the Skulls' new shipment of quantum array weapons are waiting, the next move will be to take them out.

Capture the shipment of armaments before they hit the streets

The Peace Killers
Part: Two

Briefing

Since you discovered the location where the Skulls are storing their caches of new weapons, it is only right that the honor of taking those weapons from our enemies goes to you as well. I have every confidence you will be able to capture this shipment of armaments before they hit the streets of the city.

Mission Acceptance

You will need to defeat all of the foes protecting the warehouse where the weapons are being kept. The Skulls keep several of the doors locked at all times, so you will need to defeat guards to find keys in order to progress.

Unnecessary Solicitation

needs data

Mission Objective(s)

This warehouse is in remarkably good shape for a Skulls hang out. They must not have been here long.

• Defeat all foes in warehouse
  • 2 keys to find, Get information

This crate is full of deadly Quantum Array weapons

Enemies

Skulls
Hellions

Debriefing

Securing that shipment of quantum array weapons will certainly be a great help to all of us. What may be even more important, though, is discovering that upcoming deal the Outcasts are making for more of these weapons. It may be a lead to help discover where they are coming from.

Stop the Hellions' arm deal and find out where the Quantum Array weapons are coming from

The Peace Killers
Part: Three

Briefing

As you discovered, the Hellions, like all of the gangs and villains in the city, seek their own source of quantum array weapons. You have already proven your ability to handle these situations against the Skulls, and you were the one who discovered the deal. It's time to continue the investigation, stop the deal, and find out where these weapons are coming from.

Mission Acceptance

Though the majority of foes you'll face on this mission will be Hellions, your primary goal will be to find out who they are meeting with to get these weapons. Whoever this source may be, you must keep word of your investigation from getting back to them, so you will need to defeat or capture all of the enemies at the meeting.

Unnecessary Solicitation

needs data

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat all foes at weapons deal
  • Find information

You defeated all of the Hellions, and found a clue on one of the Council soldiers.

Enemies

Hellions
Council

Debriefing

So, the Hellions were dealing with the Council. It's not quite absolute proof that the Council are the ones supplying these quantum array weapons, but it's close. From the information you found, it looks like they're running quality tests on a new shipment of these guns. That will be the next place to investigate.

Intercept the quantum array weapons shipment undergoing testing

The Peace Killers
Part: Four

Briefing

The information you found tells us that the Council is testing a shipment of quantum array weapons that have just arrived in the city. This shipment must be intercepted, both to stem the flow of these weapons and to look for proof about who is producing them.

Mission Acceptance

You need to secure the quantum array weapons in order to keep them out of the hands of our enemies. You'll also need to find and defeat a Dr. Rotheman, who's in charge of the weapon testing. Finally, you need to look for information about where these weapons are coming from, and if the Council is truly responsible.

Unnecessary Solicitation

needs data

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat Dr. Rotheman and his men
  • 4 crates of weapons, Find information

You defeated Dr. Rotheman, secured the quantum array weapon shipment, and found out where the shipment was going to and coming from.

Enemies

Council

Notable NPCs

• Dr. Rotheman

Debriefing

The information you found confirms it. These weapons were made on Striga Isle, the Council's stronghold. The Council are the ones behind the new weapons, but why? They already have the mercenary Void Hunters in their employ, so why would they need the quantum array weapons as well? Perhaps the answers can be found at the Council base those weapons were headed to.

Strike Council Base and scour it for information

The Peace Killers
Part: Five

Briefing

The next step will be strike at the Council base the weapons you captured were intended to reach. We now know where the Quantum Array weapons are being manufactured and who is doing it, but there's still much we don't know. The only way to find out more will be to strike that base and scour it for information.

Mission Acceptance

You must secure the entire base, defeating all foes within it, as well as search for any information about the Council's programs against us. I know that you will succeed.

Unnecessary Solicitation

needs data

Mission Objective(s)

The outer defenses of this Council base were down, like they were waiting for a delivery of weapons that will never arrive.

• Defeat all Council in base
  • 2 pieces of information to find

You secured the base and found several pieces of valuable information.

Enemies

Council

Debriefing

From the information you found, it seems that the Council is having some trouble manufacturing these Quantum Array Guns. However, they still have the Void Hunter mercenaries. I have a suspicion that I can't confirm, but the answer may be waiting at the base controlled by this Colonel Zaus. Combined with that I already know, you may have found enough information to locate his lair.

Strike the Void Hunter base and defeat Colonel Zaus and his men

The Peace Killers
Part: Six

Briefing

The Void Hunter base you discovered is your final target. Taking it out won't stop the Void Hunters, but will set them back and at the same time help us to learn more about this enemy.

A word of warning. I have good information that there is a Void Hunter at that base, but he's not your goal. You will not need to defeat the Void Hunter to finish this. It may be better to avoid him if it's possible. There's no need to fight a Void Hunter on his own ground when you can get the information we want by defeating Colonel Zaus.

Mission Acceptance

Remember that your target is Colonel Zaus and his aides. The worst case scenario is that there will be a Void Hunter liaison on his staff, but I trust that you'll be able to handle any such situation.}}

Unnecessary Solicitation

needs data

Mission Objective(s)

Hidden deep beneath the streets, this Council base has been set up to support the Void Hunter Mercenaries

• Defeat Col. Zaus & his men
  • 2 pieces of information to find

You have taken the Void Hunter support base, and captured its commander.

Enemies

Council
Void Hunters

Notable NPCs

• Colonel Zaus (Council Nebula Buckshot, Lieutenant)

Colonel Zaus: Don't worry. Our Void Hunters should be able to stop them with ease.

Debriefing

Now we know. The Council is producing and distributing both the Quantum Array weapons and the Void Hunter mercenaries. The Quantum array guns are bad enough, but what really worries me is the 'Nictus Fragment Integration' process they are using. That can't be good. It's a two pronged attack, pointed directly at the throat of every Kheldian not allied with the Council, and it's being masterminded by Arakhn herself. You have done very well in uncovering this. Now that we are aware of our true enemy, I know that with Peacebringers like you rising through the ranks, we shall overcome any challenge the Council throws in our way.

War and Peacebringers (Level 10 - 15)

Template:MeritAward

Souvenir

The Renegade Dossier

The names are plainly listed in this dossier: Coldstar. Moonbow. Lightburner. FullAlbedo. Brightshift. 5 Peacebringers. 5 Renegades. 5 Names that will live in infamy among Peacebringer and Warshade alike. You've kept this dossier on the 5 Peacebringers who all went renegade to remind you of a dirty incident in Peacebringer history you recall as:

War and Peacebringers

It all started when Sunstorm asked you to investigate the recent disappearance of several Peacebringers. you spoke with Shadowstar, who told you that the Circle of Thorns had shown some interest in Kheldians. The mystic in charge of that project had recently escaped from Zigursky Prison, so you pressed on Circle mystics on the streets to track him down.

You found and defeated the Circle mystic Aeoch, but he told you that he had nothing to do with the missing Peacebringers. However, Aeoch did point you towards a Lt. Morely of the Council, who was researching Warshade movements and organization under Requiem's orders.

You investigated the base, and found not only Lt. Morely and his report on Warshade activity, but Coldstar, one of the missing Peacebringers. Instead of thanking you for the rescue, Coldstar called you a traitor and attacked!

After his capture, Coldstar claimed that all the missing Peacebringers had started working with the Council to wipe out the Warshades, who they thought were a threat to the resolve of the Peacebringers in the war against Nictus. To see if he was telling the truth, you investigated the location where Coldstar had said that Moonbow, another of the missing Peacebringers, was supposed to be. Moonbow's attack confirmed it, as did a list of the renegades. The list also had the name of a 5th rogue!

Now that you had a list of the Renegades, you went to Shadowstar so that she could warn the Warshades. She told you with mounting horror that the 5th Rogue, Lightburner, had taken Shadowstar's daughter, the reporter Lillian Issan, on a mission against the Vahzilok! You followed them and were able to rescue Lillian and defeat the renegade, who revealed that they only wanted Lillian as bait for Shadowstar!

You tracked down the last two rogues, defeating them and putting an end to their plan to assassinate Shadowstar, but many questions remain. Who in the Council was working with the rogues and why? What did Requiem have to do with the operation, and who or what is the mysterious Arakhn? Sunstorm asked you to come back when you were around security level 15 to continue the investigations.

Talk to Shadowstar

Talk to Shadowstar

War and Peacebringers
Part: One

Briefing

I'm glad to see you. With all that's happened, I thought that maybe you'd become a victim as well. You see, several other Peacebringers have disappeared in the last few days, and I don't know what might have happened to them. I'm almost out of leads, but I was thinking about another recent case, and it gives me an idea. One of Shadowstar's Warshades was abducted and then recovered from the Circle of Thorns. These incidents might be related. Could you talk to Shadowstar and get the details of that incident?

Mission Acceptance

We Peacebringers have made a lot of enemies here, but the Warshades aren't among them. If Shadowstar knows anything that can help, she's sure to tell us.

And take this. It's a list of the missing Peacebringers, and when they were last seen. You should familiarize yourself with it. It may help out.

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat 10 Circle of Thorns

One of the defeated Circle cultists was willing to tell you all that you wanted to know.

Enemies

Circle of Thorns

Debriefing

It's no guarantee, but this Aeoch might be the right place to start. I'm putting this part of the investigation into your hands. I know you won't let me down.

Defeat Aeoch & Cronies

War and Peacebringers
Part: Two

Briefing

The information you found about this 'Researcher Aeoch' from the Circle of Thorns and his experiments on Warshades make him a prime suspect in the disappearance of our fellow Peacebringers. You have his current location, the job now is to bring him in.

Mission Acceptance

Aeoch is certain to be well guarded, and is likely not a pushover even on his own. Be careful. We don't want to lose any more people today.

Unnecessary Solicitation

needs data

Mission Objective(s)

You followed the cultists instructions until ancient caves gave way to monolithic stones older still.

• Defeat Aeoch & Cronies

You defeated Aeoch and clobbered his cronies.

Enemies

Circle of Thorns

Notable NPCs

• Guardian Hazebek (Circle Of Thorns Energy Mage, Lieutenant)

Guardian Hazebek: You shall go no farther!

• Researcher Aeoch (Circle Of Thorns Madness Mage, Lieutenant)

Researcher Aeoch: Whatever you wanted, you shall find only my fury.

Debriefing

I don't like to take the word of a criminal cultist at face value, but this is still a lead. We know the Council are interested in us, and they are at the top of the list of suspects. Aeoch's visitor might know something. I'll see if I can confirm any of this information before you go in. I don't want to lose any more people.

Take out the Council base and search it for information

War and Peacebringers
Part: Three

Briefing

I've checked Aeoch's information out with some of my contacts and while no one can confirm it, the location he gave does look like it might be a Council base. I'm reluctant to ask you to investigate, but it's the only lead we have. I don't know what you might find in there, but right now the only option to find our missing fellow Peacebringers is to take out that Council base and search it for information.

Mission Acceptance

You will need to take out all the Council troops in the base and check and check its computer system for any clues. Be careful, though. Something about all of this still feels wrong to me.

Unnecessary Solicitation

needs data

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat all Council in base
  • Access Council Computer

You secured the base and located the information on the computer, but the most shocking revelation was the foe you battled.

Enemies

Council
Nictus

Notable NPCs

• Lt. Morely (Council Penumbra Archon, Lieutenant)

Lt. Morely: It's definitely a Peacebringer. Warn Coldstar that they've discovered him.

• Coldstar (Nictus Bright Nova, Boss)

Coldstar: I'm not missing! I've finally found the truth, traitor!

Debriefing

Coldstar? Coldstar was the second to go missing. He's one of the most dedicated and tireless in the battle against the Nictus. I can't believe that he was working with the Council. I don't know what this could all mean. Maybe he was mind controlled or brainwashed. We'll talk to him. We'll find the truth. This is all wrong, this is all wrong.

Verify some of Coldstar's confession

War and Peacebringers
Part: Four

Briefing

I can't believe that Coldstar was working with the Council, but what he's said after you captured him is even worse. Coldstar claims that all of our missing Peacebringers have gone over to the Council, because the Council agreed to help them eradicate the Warshades. Coldstar and the others feel that the Warshades are a huge threat to the war against the Nictus because they're undermining our resolve. Coldstar's said a lot of things, but we still can't be sure he's telling the truth. Not until his claims are checked out. That's what I need to ask you to do.

Mission Accpetance

Coldstar let the location of Moonbow slip out. We have to know if Moonbow is a captive, or one of them. Your objective will be to find Moonbow, and either free her or capture her. You'll also need to look for any more evidence that corroborates or disproves Coldstar's story.

It could be a trap, or it could tell us whether Coldstar's telling the truth. For all of our sakes, I hope that he's lying. I thought that the Peacebringer extremists might have been tempered by merging with humans, like I was. Or that they would at least give the Warshades a chance.

Unnecessary Solicitation

needs data

Mission Objective(s)

According to Coldstar, this warehouse is a staging ground where the rogues and Council plan to strike at the Warshades.

• Bring Moonbow Home
  • Find evidence, 2 keys to find, Defeat Moonbow

You found Moonbow and defeated her in battle, confirming Coldstar's story. You also found a list of renegades.

Enemies

Council
Nictus

Notable NPCs

• Moonbow (Nictus White Dwarf, Boss)

Moonbow: The Warshades' very existence imperils our cause. They must be wiped out.

Debriefing

It's all true. These rogues, these renegades, they've decided that even the thought that a Nictus might convert and defect to the Warshades is enough to weaken our resolve to stop the Nictus. They probably see themselves as tragic heroes, sacrificing themselves by working with the Council in order to save our mission. They're idiots. But dangerous idiots. I'll try to bring in Lightburner before he can do any harm, but this is far from over.

Deliver the warning to Shadowstar

Talk to Shadowstar

War and Peacebringers
Part: Five

Briefing

Now that we know about these Renegades, we have to warn the Warshades. I'm trying to track them down, particularly Lightburner, the only one who hasn't disappeared on his own yet. Until that's done, can you deliver the warning to Shadowstar? She has to know who the rogues are and what they're after if she's going to protect her people.

Mission Acceptance

Thank you. This has to be done in person, there's no way of knowing if the rogues have compromised our communications.

Enemies

Notable NPCs

• Lightburner (Nictus Bright Nova, Boss)

Lightburner: If it means anything, we won't hurt the girl. She's just bait for her mother.

Debriefing

Shadowstar's daughter Lillian is safe, and now we have 3 of the 5 rogues, all thanks to your efforts. That only leaves 2, Fullalbedo and Brightshift. These were our people before they became fanatics, but that doesn't excuse their actions. They have to be stopped before they can make an attack on Shadowstar.

Recapture the remaining Kheldian Renegades

War and Peacebringers
Part: Six

Briefing

We've been able to piece together the location of the last 2 renegades. They're at a Council base waiting for a shipment of Quantum Array Guns. They plan to use them to ambush Shadowstar. Initially they were planning to draw her in using Lillian, but thanks to you that plan's not going to happen. This gives us the opportunity we need. We can put a stop to the Renegades' plans if we strike them now, but it won't be easy.

Mission Acceptance

Your main goal is to capture Fullalbedo and Brightshift, but they are sure to have a full contingent of Council troops there to aid them. There may also be some Quantum array guns that have been shipped in. Capture any of those you can.

Unnecessary Solicitation

needs data

Mission Objective(s)

The depths of this Council base hides the last two renegades.

• Capture the Renegades
  • Defeat Fullalbedo, Defeat Brightshift

You defeated the last two Renegades, and stopped the plot to assassinate Shadowstar.

Enemies

Council
Nictus

Notable NPCs

• Fullalbedo (Nictus White Dwarf, Boss)

Fullalbedo: You won't stop us! Shadowstar will die!

• Brightshift (Nictus Bright Nova, Boss)

Brightshift: I apologize for nothing! I regret nothing! The only change I'd make would be to kill you first!

Debriefing

You've brought the renegades down before too much damage was done, and for that we're all in your debt. When word of the rogues first got out, there were many among the Warshades who thought it was a sign of our true intentions against them. But your success against the renegades has proven otherwise, and also helped to remind our fellow Peacebringers that we all must work together.

I've spoken with Shadowstar about this whole event, and we've come to the conclusion that both sides need to work together more in future so that incidents like this don't happen again. From this point forward, we'll be sharing more information and working together on some cases. It's the start of a new era in the war against the Nictus. This planet has proven once more that we needn't fight alone.

I'll keep looking into this, but things are only to get more dangerous. Talk to me again when you're around Security level 15. There may be more for you then.

Start your new life as a Kheldian

Stop Vahzilok/Council meeting

Briefing

Allow me to welcome you, Character, to the elite ranks of the Peacebringers. All of the Peacebringers on Earth, like you, are formed form the fusion of a Kheldian energy being and a willing human host. Both the human and the Kheldian become more than they were separately, forming a new being called a Peacebringer. As a Peacebringer you will learn to wield immense power in the service of justice and the endless battle against our dire enemies, the Nictus.

I am Sunstorm, and I serve as the coordinator of our efforts here on Earth. I'm not your leader or your boss, my main function is to make certain that our efforts are well directed, particularly for the newer members of our ranks. I should have plenty for you to do. I'm sure you can't wait to test your new powers, so let's get started.

Mission Acceptance

I know about a situation with the Vahzilok that I think you can handle. One of their Mortificators, a madman calling himself 'Sepsis', has offered to sell their secrets to the Council. While the Vahzilok disseminate much of their techniques using illegal internet sites, they reserve their deeper secrets to more trusted individuals. We cannot let these secrets get into the hands of the Council's own cadres of mad scientists.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I know that as your first task, this must seem pretty big. But I think you can handle it. Remember, all you have to do is defeat the ones at the meeting to succeed.

Mission Objective(s)

These dank sewers won't hide the dire plans of the Vahzilok.

• Defeat Negotiators

You defeated both Sepsis and the Council negotiator, but discovered that Sepsis' notes are already in Council hands!

Enemies

Vahzilok

Notable NPCs

• Sepsis
• Council Negotiator

Defeat all Council & get notes

Unnecessary Solicitation

Every minute the Council has those notes brings them one step closer to using those secrets against the heroes of this city. Recover them as quickly as you can.

Mission Objective(s)

This Council base now holds an additional secret: the mad medical knowledge of the Vahzilok.

• Find Sepsis' notes

You recovered Sepsis' Vahzilok texts from the Council.

Enemies

Council
