Overview

The Police Radio is a police scanner in Paragon City used by the Paragon Police Department or PPD. It also serves as a source of Police Scanner missions, or short missions, that you must accomplish to get more contacts and/or Safeguard Missions.

Each zone's missions apply to the detective in that specific zone.

Missions

There are four basic types of missions for the Police Radio: Rescue Missions, Boss Missions, Object Missions, and Heist Prevention Missions. Each is listed separately below.

Rescue Missions

The object of a rescue mission is to defeat a mob of enemies holding the target person hostage and to lead that target person back out of the mission. Usually, a hero or a team will clear a path to the target person so that fighting on the way out is minimized. Once the mob holding the target person is defeated, several more enemies will typically spawn between the target person and the mission entrance to intercept the hero or team leading the target person out.

Rescue Angie Firkins

A witness against the (VillainGroup), one Angie Firkins has gone missing. All units are advised to be on the lookout for her
Angie Firkins is just a law-abiding citizen willing to risk her life to testify against the (VillainGroup). If something really has happened to her, it might be worth investigating.

Rescue Ayn Race

We have a report that local writer Ayn Race was abducted from a book signing by the (VillainGroup)
What would the (VillainGroup) want with a writer? Well, whatever their plan is, it's putting a citizen in danger.

Dialog

VillainBoss: Your descriptions of certain supernatural elements are all too real.
Ayn Race: I just made it all up!
VillainMinion: Impossible! You know too much about us.

(agroed)

Ayn Race: Hero! What a great development!
VillainMinion:See! You must have told Hero how to find us!
VillainBoss: Die!

(once free)

Ayn Race: Let's leave this scene.

(at the mission exit)

Ayn Race: I'm going to put this whole chapter behind me.

Rescue Bianca Glass

We have a report of suspicious individuals accompaning Bianca Glass. Possible kidnapping in progress
You'd heard rumors that the (VillainGroup) were casing out Bianca Glass and her shipping bussiness. They might be in trouble.

Dialog

Bianca Glass: I don't know anything about that shipment!
VillainMinion: We know it has something to do with what's going on at the Crash Site.
VillainBoss: She's lying.

(agroed)

Bianca Glass: (Hero)? I don't know what are they talking about!
VillainMinion: You'll tell us the truth after we've dealt with (Hero).
VillainBoss: It'll be quick.

(once free)

Bianca Glass: They thought I knew something special about what's going on at the Rikti Crash Site, but I don't.

(at the mission exit)

Bianca Glass: Thank you for the rescue. Now I've got to get back to my bussiness!

Rescue Betty Jo Bialofski

We have a report of (VillainGroup) members involved with the disappearance of a citizen, a Betty Jo Bialofski
Betty Jo Bialofski? That sounds familiar. Now you remember! You read about it in the papers, but there they just called her "Nancy". She was in the news because her remarkable resistance to curses allowed her to safety inherit the cursed gemstone "The Third Eye of Danger". The papers had called it magical evolution, but it looks like it might have brought her to the attention of the (VillainGroup)

Rescue Clive Loveking

We have a missing persons case open for Clive Loveking, a local occult shop owner and writer
You've heard of Clive before. The only thing more disturbing that the curios in the back of the shop are the stories he tells about them. You'd better get him back to his shop. That would be safest for everyone involved.

Dialog

Clive Loveking: Few can truly understand the preternatural horrors that exist beyond time and espace.
VillainMinion: Shut up! I can't take it anymore!
VillainBoss: If I just don't listen, the words can't hurt me.

Clive Loveking: Let me tell you the tale of Arthur Jeremyn and the strange puzzle-box he discovered in an unused hotel one winter...
VillainMinion: That's it!
VillainBoss: Just don't listen. JUST DON'T LISTEN!

(agroed)

Clive Loveking: Oh, hello there, friend.
VillainMinion: You! You take him! I can't handle it anymore!
VillainBoss: (Hero)! Oh, sweet oblivion!

(once free)

Clive Loveking: The "crazy-creepy guy"act keeps me safer in this city than any lock or security system. Let's get out of here!

(at the mission exit)

Clive Loveking: Well, this has been quite a day, hasn't it?

Rescue Det. Brendan Frye

Detectives are reporting one of their own was gone missing while investigating the (VillainGroup)
According to the radio, Det Brendan Frye went undercover to investigate the (VillainGroup) and hasn't been heard from since. He could be doing deep cover work, or he could be in trouble.

Dialog

Det. Brendan Frye: You dopes are just duck-soup to me. I'm looking for the pin that holds you together.
VillainMinion: I can't stand cool guys.
VillainBoss: You're always so cool, Frye. Break his face.

(agroed)

Det. Brendan Frye: (Hero), just in time. You jokers watch carefully, and tell your bosses this is my calling card.
VillainMinion: I'll show you how we do it.
VillainBoss: Dyin' time's here, (Hero)!

(once free)

Det. Brendan Frye: I'm not playing you, I just need to keep them thinking I know more than I do. Let's heel it.

(at the mission exit)

Det. Brendan Frye: Thanks for the pick. I still need to find where these jokers gats sprang from, but I'm a step closer now they think I have a guardian angel.

Rescue Det. Steffano

All units, an undercover officer investigating the (VillainGroup) has not reported in. It's believed that his cover has been compromised.
An undercover officer who misses a check-in may just be in the middle of something, but you'd heard a rumor that the (VillainGroup) were looking for an undercover cop. This might be one to check into.

Dialog

Det. Steffano: Look, I'm just a bussinessman.
VillainMinion: We already know the truth, detective!
VillainBoss: You were betrayed by simple arcane numerology. Basic magic, really.

(agroed)

Det. Steffano: (Hero)! I need help! I'm a cop!
VillainMinion: (Hero) won't be able to help anyone!
VillainBoss: Blast! Steffano must have called for back-up!

(once free)

Det Steffano: Thanks, (Hero). I was hoped someone would come along when I missed my check-in.

(at the mission exit)

Det. Steffano: I learned a lot from these guys, but I wouldn't have been able to tell anyone if it weren't for you.

Rescue Dr. Deering

There's a missing person report on Dr. Deering from the space conference. We also have a report of the (VillainGroup) in the area
The big space science conference has draw a lot of top minds, but that could also draw in opportunistic criminals like the (VillainGroup). Dr. Deering could just be out sight-seeing, but it could also be trouble.

Dialog

Dr. Deering: You want to sell my work to the highest bidder? That's barbaric!
VillainMinion: Barbaric? Yes. But highly profitable!
VillainBoss: And profit is a useful bussiness to be in.

(agroed)

Dr. Deering: A hero! And I thought all was lost!
VillainMinion: This is our pay day.
VillainBoss: Stop (Hero)! This will ruin everything!

Rescue Dr. Frank N. Scott

All units, keep an eye out for Dr. Frank N. Scott. He was last seen leaving the hospital, possibly being followed by members of the (VillainGroup)
The moment you hear the news, you suspect what might have happened. Dr. Frank N. Scott has consulted with MAGI on a case or two involving magical diseases, something that the (VillainGroup) would definitely be interested in.

Rescue Dr. Ninevah Sing

All available units, a group of the (VillainGroup) have taken a hostage from Datalore labs and evaded Police pursuit
As you listen further, it seems that the hostage was one of their Artificial Intelligence researchers, a Dr. Ninevah Sing. But no one has any idea why the (VillainGroup) would be interested in an AI researcher in the first place.

Dialog

VillainMinion: Tell us! Do these Artificial Intelligences of yours have souls?
Dr. Ninevah Sing: A soul? That's not even on the design spec!
VillainBoss: And if they have souls, what can we do with them?

(agroed)

Dr. Ninevah Sing: (Hero)! Thanks goodness you're here!
VillainMinion: Stay out of our bussines, (Hero)!
VillainBoss: Too late!

(once free)

Dr. Ninevah Sing: They wanted to know if an Artificial Intelligence could have a soul. I hadn't thought of that.

(at the mission exit)

Dr. Ninevah Sing: What an experience! Thank you, (Hero)!

Rescue Dr. Priddy

The BB Institute's press conference was attacked by members of the (VillainGroup), who have escaped with an hostage
According to the police report, the missing person is Dr. Priddy. The (VillainGroup) grabbed her, and now the BB Institute's own crime-fighters are paralyzed. But the (VillainGroup) probably aren't expecting the BBI to get some outside help.

Dialog

Dr. Priddy: You think you can use me for leverage? Ha! I'll tell them not to say a thing to you!
VillainBoss: Take her to the Pit!
VillainMinion: Uhh... We really don't have a "Pit" here.

(agroed)

Dr. Priddy: The BBI has allies everywhere!
VillainBoss: Doomed is your soul!
VillainBoss: Laugh while you can, (Hero)!

(once free)

Dr. Priddy: Thanks for the help!

(at the mission exit)

Dr. Priddy: These guys might have gotten the Occelthruster if you hadn't shown up. Thanks!

Rescue Dr. Sarah Long

Police negotiators are reporting that negotiations with the (VillainGroup) for the return of Dr. Sarah Long are breaking down
Dr. Long's work on incorporating magical healing with modern medicine has made a big splash. Big enough to attract the attention of the (VillainGroup)

Rescue Dr. Sophia Jones

We have a missing persons report on Dr. Sophia Jones, filed by her husband. Motives are unknown, but he did report seeing members of the (VillainGroup) near their home last night
If the (VillainGroup) were involved, it can't be good. Maybe you should take a look to this.

Dialog

Dr. Sophia Jones: A mystic stone of power? On my wedding ring?
VillainMinion: Yes, mystical Orichalcum!
VillainBoss: The power of that stone is unimaginable!

(agroed)

Dr. Sophia Jones: Hi there, I'm a hostage, they're the bad guys. I'll let you handle it.
VillainMinion: Nothing will stop us!
VillainBoss: It is a power we will control!

(once free)

Dr. Sophia Jones: Geez, like I don't know what Orichalcum is. Let's get out of here! Really, I probably shouldn't be toting this around, but it is kind of a keepsake.

(at the mission exit)

Dr. Sophia Jones: This is what I get for marrying an archaeologist in this city.

Rescue Dr. Stephen Fayte

Detectives have confirmed that the abductors of Dr. Stephen Fayte were members of the (VillainGroup)
You've heard of the strange case of Dr. Stephen Fayte before. Due to random circunstances of birth, he's often mistaken for one of the most powerful sorcerers in the world. However, he's really just a gifted surgeon and nothing more. If the (VillainGroup) is involved, though, he could be in some serious trouble.

Dialog

Dr. Stephen Fayte: Truly, I am merely a gifted surgeon and nothing more.
VillainMinion: We were wrong! He's just a gifted surgeon and nothing more!
VillainBoss: You fool! He's merely a gifted surgeon and nothing more!

(agroed)

Dr. Stephen Fayte: Ah, (Hero). Well, I'll just let you handle this.
VillainMinion: We must attack (Hero) and completely ignore Dr. Stephen Fayte!
VillainBoss: Yes, as he is merely a gifted surgeon and nothing more, he is no threat to us.

(once free)

Dr. Stephen Fayte: That was a timely extraction from imminet peril, as I am merely a gifted surgeon and nothing more.

(at the mission exit)

Dr. Stephen Fayte: Thank you, (Hero). You really saved me, as I am only a gifted surgeon and nothing more.

Rescue Eleanore Ciccione

We have a report just in of members of the (VillainGroup) attacked a Paragon City Symphony rehearsal, and have abducted Eleanore Ciccione
Eleanore Ciccione? That's the cellist with minor psychic powers. While she's not effective in a fight, the combination of music and psionics could be very interesting to the (VillainGroup). This might be worth checking out.

Dialog

VillainMinion: You will play your music for our plans!
Eleanore Ciccione: I cannot play my music for soulless fiends like you.
VillainBoss: You'll play when we tell you, or never again.

(agroed)

Eleanore Ciccione: Wicked people don't understand my kind of music.
VillainMinion: Nothing can save you!
VillainBoss: Certainly not (Hero)!

(once free)

Eleanore Ciccione: These abilities have been a curse all my life.

(at the mission exit)

Eleanore Ciccione: You saved my life, and my music. Thank you.

Rescue Dr. Wanda Sims

All units, be on the lookout: We have an unconfirmed report of Dr. Wanda Sims seen accompanied by members of the (VillainGroup)
Dr. Wanda Sims? The reclusive mathematical genius? She hasn't been seen in a while, but from what you've read that's not uncommon. Still, this might be worth your attention.

Dialog

VillainMinion: We want more than theories, Doctor!
Dr. Wanda Sims: It's mathematics. It's all theoretical!
VillainBoss: We will make YOU theoretical!

(agroed)

Dr. Wanda Sims: (Hero)! Protect me from their stupidity!
VillainMinion: We'll show you something real!
VillainBoss: (Hero). Just when I need to vent some frustration.

(once free)

Dr. Wanda Sims: And this is why I am a reclusive mathematician.

(at the mission exit)

Dr. Wanda Sims: I still think I prefer theory, but you were pretty impressive in action.

Rescue Dr. Zhondervan

We have a missing person report on Dr. Zhondervan, following a break-in at his office by members of the (VillainGroup)
That sounds like trouble. Maybe the (VillainGroup) are chasing Dr. Zhondervan, or maybe it's a coincidence. Either way, it could bear investigation.

Dialog

Dr. Zhondervan: I don't know what "Heritage" you're talking about!
VillainMinion: We will take the power of your bloodline!
VillainBoss: You truly know nothing of your heritage. A pity.

(agroed)

Dr. Zhondervan: They're madmen, I tell you!
VillainMinion: We will take your blood as well!
VillainBoss: Truly a pity.

(once free)

Dr. Zhondervan: I was lying. I know my grandfather was a wizard, but I want no part of it.

(at the mission exit)

Dr. Zhondervan: I only want to be a doctor. Is that wrong?

Rescue Heather Diazzo

We have reports of a break-in at the home of one Heather Diazzo, reportedly conducted by the (VillainGroup). Requesting a unit to investigate.
Heather Diazzo is on the cutting edge of on-line real estate and property. On-line, she is one of the wealthiest people in the world, and a major influence in many circles. Maybe that was what the (VillainGroup) are interested in. Her list of connections is probably extraordinary.

Dialog

Heather Diazzo: I won't give you any information on my friends!
VillainMinion: You won't have any choice.
VillainBoss: The real prize is all the contacts you have.

(agroed)

VillainMinion:(Hero)! We've been found out!

Jake Emmet? That's the lead designer of the smash-hit video game Freedom Phalanx. You'd heard several of the (VillainGroup) complaining about how they were portrayed in that game. Maybe they decided to get some developer feedback.

Dialog

VillainBoss: This is personal.
Jake Emmet: Get your hands off me! Statesman is a personal friend of mine!
VillainMinion: I'm sure.

(agroed)

Jake Emmet: Hero? Well, you'll do.
VillainBoss: Stay back! This fool nerfed my character!
VillainBoss: That bug they fixed totally ruined my favorite exploit!

(once free)

Jake Emmet: That was pretty good.

(at the mission exit)

Jake Emmet: That was like the seige of Thermopolae, only we won!

Rescue Joey Jones

All officers in the greater Paragon City area, we have a missing persons report for one Joey Jones. Back-up is recommended, as the (VillainGroup) may be involved
If the (VillainGroup) are involved, this can't be good. Maybe you should give the police some help on this one.

Rescue Jon "Booster" Rhodes

All units, we've received word from Kord Industries security that the VP, one Jon 'Booster' Rhodes, has not reported in to work for several days. Detectives are investigating the situation.
The police detectives may be on the case, but you'd heard a rumor that the (Villain Group) had their eyes on Jon 'Booster' Rhodes as a mark for a while. If they made their move, you'd have the inside track to find them and put a stop to it.

Rescue Kelly

All units, kidnapping in progress.Kelly from the Shadow Shard has been abducted by the (VillainGroup)
More and more refugees from the strange alien realm called the Shadow Shard have been coming to Paragon City, looking for new lives. Unfortunately, the city's villains have noticed this as well. It might be a good idea to show a new arrival that the heroes of Paragon City are there to protect them.

Dialogs

Kelly: I have survived worse than you all my life.
VillainMinion: There's nothing more dangerous than us!
VillainBoss: Are you mocking our power?

(agroed)

Rescue L33t Sk1zzl3s

Police detectives are reporting that there may be a wave of computer virus attacks imminent after reformed hacker L33t Sk1zzl3s went missing last week
Word on the street is that the (VillainGroup) have been preparing for a spree of computer crime for a while, and the name L33t Sk1zzl3s fits. You don't know if this was a kidnapping, or if they recruited L33t Sk1zzl3s, but either way, it would be good to stop this before it got started.

Dialog

VillainMinion: Then you'll help us?
L33t Sk1zzl3s: Dude, I'm reformed. But if you were planning to hack into some credit companies, here's how I'd do it.
VillainBoss: Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Rescue Lois Watson

We have a report that the (VillainGroup) has abducted Lois Watson again. All units be advised to just let Unbelievable-Man to handle this one
This sounds remarkably apathetic, but then, Lois Watson is Unbelievable-Man's girlfriend. But didn't you heard that he's in the Shadow Shard right now? Maybe you shoud check into this, just in case Unbelievable-Man won't be back in time to save the day.

Dialogs

VillainMinion: No one will save you this time!
VillainBoss: There's no escape!
Lois Watson: Just you wait till Unbelievable-Man gets here.

(at the mission exit)

Lois Watson: Thanks for the help and all, but I think I'm going to have some words for Unbelievable-Man later.

Rescue Lucy Dreamtime

We have a possible missing person on one Lucy Dreamtime
Lucy Dreamtime is one of those typesall heroes know to keep an eye out for. She's actually a powerful psychic, capable of manifesting her dreams in the real world. Unfortunately, she can't control her power, so if she goes off her medication and has a nightmare, it can be bad. You might have a lead on this.

Dialogs

Lucy Dreamtime: This feels like a nightmare.
VillainMinion: What are you talking about? I'm real! Aren't I?
VillainBoss: Dude, we're totally figments of her imagination.

(agroed)

Lucy Dreamtime: Why can't I just wake up!
VillainMinion: This is crazy. I'm real! I'll show you!
VillainBoss: Being imaginary ain't so bad. Otherwise, this would hurt a lot.

(once free)

Lucy Dreamtime: (Hero)? Oh, no, I'm having an episode, aren't I?

(at the mission exit)

Lucy Dreamtime: I'm so glad you're real, (Hero). You're real, aren't you?

Rescue Mazzy Stardusk

We have an APB out for members of the (VillainGroup) responsible for the abduction of Mazzy Stardusk
You remember that Mazzy Stardusk used to be a big rock star back in the day, until there was a scandal about using magic to control minds. Nothing was proven, but that might be enough to have brought her to the attention of the (VillainGroup)

Dialogs

VillainBoss: Tell us the secrets of your great rock & roll swindle!
Mazzy Stardusk: It was all my manager! Those were different times, then.
VillainMinion: We will pry those secrets from you!

(agroed)

Mazzy Stardusk: (Hero)? I can't believe someone remembered me!
VillainBoss: We must learn the secrets behind the music!
VillainMinion: We will rock you!

(once free)

Mazzy Stardusk: Seems I can never get a break. Until now, at least.

(at the mission exit)

Mazzy Stardusk: I came through this okay. Maybe I could do a come-back?

Rescue Melanie Haber

All units, we have an update on a case: there are reports that a missing lawyer has been spotted being moved by members of the (VillainGroup)
That missing lawyer is probably Melanie Haber, the attorney who went missing a bit back. This could be a lead in that case.

Dialog

Melanie Haber: I've looked over the contract! It's iron-clad. The soul has been signed away, there's no way around that.
VillainMinion: Look over it again!
VillainBoss: There must be a way to circumvent it.

(agroed)

Melanie Haber: (Hero)! These people are crazy!
VillainMinion: Keep reading! This won't take long.
VillainBoss: This will be the end of you.

(once free)

Melanie Haber: So many people think they can just sign a deal with the netherworld and then weasel out of the contract.

(at the mission exit)

Melanie Haber: This supernatural law practice is more exciting that I thought it would be.

Rescue Michael

We have a report from the feds that they've lost a sample of something called a "Human Bomb Serum". They are advising everyone to keep an eyeout for unusual disappearances
Uh-oh. You'd heard that the (VillainGroup) were looking to grab some street people after they'd made a big score, but it didn't seem to make sense. But if they have the human bomb formula, they might be looking for test subjects!

Dialog

Michael: You're gonna turn me into a what?
VillainMinion: Trust me, you won't feel a thing. Well, not for long, anyway.
VillainBoss: It'll be all over soon.

(agroed)

Michael: I'm gonna have such a hangover.
VillainMinion: Now, blow up (Hero)! Do it already! Dang, it doesn't work!
VillainBoss: Look at the label: "Will not work if subject has imbibed alcohol in the last 24 hours!

Michael: Actually, all that injection did was give me gas.

(at the mission exit)

Michael: I think I'll go to the hospital, just in case.

Rescue Mikhail Levis

We have reports of a missing businessman, one Mikhail Levis. Bussiness associates report seeing individuals conforming to the appearance of the (VillainGroup) recently
There were rumors that some (VillainGroup) types were boasting about a big score. Maybe Mr. Levis was it? This could bear investigation.

Dialog

Mikhail Levis: I think your problem is your investment strategy. Here, let me show you.
VillainMinion: Tell me about it!
VillainBoss: We should have kidnapped this guy years ago!

(agroed)

Mikhail Levis: Oh, well. Remember my advice when you wake up in prison.
VillainMinion: The things I gotta do to secure a good retirement.
VillainBoss: Retirement is important, but you have to think about today, too.

Police detectives report that their trail of Aeon Corporation manager Mr. L. Jenkins was broken when they were attacked by members of the (VilainGroup)
Mr. L. Jenkins is just a mid-level manager, but a mid-level manager with the Aeon Corporation, and that company is inextricably tied to Arachnos. According to Police chatter, the detectives weren't hurt, but they lost Mr. L. Jenkins and haven't been able to find him. Something tells you that attack was a distraction for the cops while the bad guys grabbed their real target: Mr. L. Jenkins.

Dialog

Mr. L. Jenkins: I'm just a middle manager! How would I know what Arachnos wants from the company?
VillainMinion: So what's a nobody like you doing here in Paragon, then?
VillainBoss: Tell us the truth!

(agroed)

Mr. L. Jenkins: Oh, no! A vigilante! You're going to beat me into submission, aren't you?
VillainMinion: (Hero)! What are you doing here?
VillainBoss: We ain't done with this one yet!

(once free)

Mr. L. Jenkins: I've heard about you vigilantes even over in the Rogue Isles! You'll know I have my rights!

(at the mission exit)

Mr. L. Jenkins: You, you really were just here to help me? That's not at all like what Arachnos says heroes are like...

Rescue Ms. Joan Waters

Detectives are reporting that Ms. Joan Waters, a local cable TV magnate, may have been the target of a (VillainGroup) operation
This would match the word you've heardon the street that the (VillainGroup) were planning to do a major media outlet. It might be a false lead, or it could be something you could nip in the bud right away.

Dialog

VillainMinion: Then, we will use your Cable TV system to beam out our mind control signal!
Ms. Joan Waters: Mind control by Television? Like we haven't been doing that for years!
VillainBoss: It's genius!

(agroed)

Ms. Joan Waters: I think your service is about to get disconnected. By (Hero).
VillainMinion: Time to switch your channel to pain!
VillainBoss: I could handle this fight by remote control!

All units, we have an APB out on a cell of the (VillainGroup) in connection with a missing person case

Rescue Peter Kent

We have a missing person report out for Peter Kent, a Paragon Times reporter investigating the (VillinGroup)
It wouldn't be too unusual for a reporter to drop off the map for a bit, but when that reporter's investigating the (VillainGroup), that might be something to worry about. This might bear an investigation.

Dialog

Peter Kent: Judging by your fashion sense, you're too dumb to follow my advice and go away.
VillainMinion: What was that about our fashion sense?
VillainBoss: Something doesen't feel right about this one...

(agroed)

Peter Kent: Thanks, (Hero). You showed up just before I had to, uh...do something.

Rescue Polly

We've received word from the feds that the (Villaingroup) have escaped with a sample of an intelligent bioweapon
Uh-oh. You'd heard that the (VillainGroup) were looking to grab some street people after they'd made a big score, but it didn't seem to make sense. But if they have that intelligent bioweapon, they might be looking for test subjects!

Dialog

VillainMinion: Now, we wait until the bioweapon starts to kill her.
VillainBoss: Once we know it works, it will be ours to control!
Polly: Actually, I have been talking to the bioweapon about that.

(agroed)

Polly: The weapon and I have been talking. It's feeling inspired, and wants to try being a symbiote.
VillainMinion: We gotta handle Hero first!
VillainBoss: It's a weapon! It will...What do you mean, Hero?

(once free)

Polly: It's funny, but these little guys have a lot of good advice. I think this could work out really well.

(at the mission exit)

Polly: You know, I think getting infected with an intelligent bioweapon is the best thing that ever happened to me.

Rescue Preston Ramone

Be on the alert: We have several injured officers confirming that the (VillainGroup) made good on their threat to kidnap Preston Ramone
The (VillainGroup) issued a threat against Preston Ramone after he promised he wouldn't let their threats hamper his plans for re-development in Overbrook. The Police are already on this, but it might be a good idea to show some support from Paragon City heroes, too.

Dialog

Preston Ramone: You do not control this city!
VillainMinion: But soon we will!
VillainBoss: Ha!

(agroed)

Preston Ramone: You see! The city's heroes move to defend her citizens.

Dialog

Professor Heim: My theories of space-time can open the stars to us!
VillainMinion: We don't care. We just know people will pay for faster missiles.
VillainBoss: You'll give us your work, or else!

(agroed)

Professor Heim: Ha! (Hero) is here! Time for some schadenfreude.
VillainMinion: You think you're going to stop us, hero?
VillainBoss: Oh, dear.

(once free)

Professor Heim: The Kheldians give us their science, we steal technology from the Rikti War wreckage... All I want to do is develop our own science so that we can use it proudly. And then fools like these shake my faith in humanity.

(at the mission exit)

Professor Heim: And still I am so proud I must seek our own way to the stars.

Rescue Rob Salazar

We have reports that an ex-government agent has gone missing. Be on the lookout
You get a few more details. The former agent is called Rob Salazar, and he supposedly worked at a top-secret government base in Nevada. Come to think of it, there was some talk that the (VillainGroup) were gunning to grab an ex-fed.

Dialog

VillainBoss: Now...Tell us about the UFOs!
Rob Salazar: No.
VillainMinion: And Bigfoot!

(agroed)

Rob Salazar: Why do they always ask about the UFOs?
VillainBoss: What is with you and Bigfoot? We have bigger problems!
VillainMinion: Even while fighting (Hero), I can still be interested in Cryptozoology!

(once free)

Rob Salazar: Let's get out of here before I say something I'll have to deny later.

Rescue Stephen Duke

Requesting investigation into the appearance of Stephen Duke, previously thought dead in an accident, in the company of known members of the (VillainGroup)
You remember hearing about that. Stephen Duke, the famous novelist, was thought to have been killed in a car accident. But if he's still alive, could he have been in (VillainGroup) captivity all this time? Maybe you should check into this.

Dialog

Stephen Duke: I can't write anymore for you. I have writer's block!
VillainMinion: Everyone knows writers can keep writing endlessly!
VillainBoss: So just make up more!

(agroed)

Stephen Duke: A...A hero? Someone finally found me!

Rescue The Witness

A Precint House is reporting that a witness to a (VillainGroup) attack has been kidnapped by members of the (VillainGroup) during transfer
That was a bold attack for the (VillainGroup) to make. Whatever the witness saw, it must have been important.

Dialog

The Witness: I didn't see nothin'!
VillainMinion: That's good.
VillainBoss: For us.

The Witness: Except that part where you explained your big plan and stuff, and killed that guy.
VillainMinion: That's bad.
VillainBoss: For you.

(agroed)

The Witness: Hero! You're my only hope!
VillainMinion: No one can protect you from us!
VillainBoss: No one can learn our true plans!

(once free)

the Witness: I thought for sure they were gonna kill me!

(at the mission exit)

the Witness: I woulda been so scared to testify at all if there weren't heroes like you around.

Rescue the Hostage

All units be advised: failed museum robbery by the (VillainGroup)has escalated into a hostage situation
This sounds bad. That helpless citizen could be in a lot of trouble the moment the (VillainGroup) decide they don't need their hostage anymore.

Dialog

The Hostage: I've lived in this city my whole life. This isn't a first kidnapping for either of us.
VillainMinion: Keep talking and it will be your last.
VillainBoss: Your nagging shortens your useful life a great deal.

(agroed)

The Hostage: I've seen these guys in action. Against (Hero), you're toasted.
VillainMinion: This just keeps getting better.

VillainMinion: Your ancestry is of particular interest to us.
VillainBoss: Tell me, what do you know of Mu?

(agroed)

William Marshall: (Hero)! I'm saved!

VillainBoss: Are you fool enough to thinkthat you can save William Marshall from the (VillainGroup)?

(once free)

William Marshall: Thank you, (Hero)

(at the mission exit)

William Marshall: Let me outta here!

Boss Missions

In a boss mission, the object is to defeat a mob containing a named boss and his or her surrounding guards.

In these missions, basically, a random name from an enemy group in your level range is assigned to the mission, so, in practice, there could be a very high number of such missions.

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

A warrant has been issued for the arrest of (VillainBoss)
(VillainBoss) has been on the suspect lists of many heroes for some time. Bringing that rogue in could help a number of investigations.

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

All units be on alert: (VillainBoss) is on a rampage!
You've heard of (VillainBoss) of the (VillainGroup) before. You better put a stop to this before people get hurt.

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

All units: Use of excessive force in the aprehension of (VillainBoss) has been authorized
You've seen the files on (VillainBoss). Excessive force can be the only thing that may stop that maniac.

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

All units: We have a report that (VillainBoss) was involved in a recent heist by the (VillainGroup)
You'd heard that (VillainBoss) was one of the upcoming new names among the (VillainGroup). Time to show everyone that crime doesn't pay.

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

Calling all available units in the area: We have a possible sighting of (VillainBoss)
There's a lof of chatter on the police band about (VillainBoss) of the (VillainGroup). Perhaps you should step in before some of the Paragon's finest get hurt?

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

Capture of (VillainBoss) has been made a top priority.
The Police want to bring (VillainBoss) in, but they're going to have a tough time doing it. You, however, could probably handle it.

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

Citizens are reporting a possible sighting of (VillainBoss)
(VillainBoss) of the (VillainGroup) is on the loose, and people is scared. Time to make Paragon City a little bit safer.

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

Increased (VillainGroup) activity has been linked to (VillainBoss). Proceed with caution.
The (VillainGroup) has been brazenly defying the forces of the law and order lately. From the sound of things on the police band, that's probably because of (VillainBoss).

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

The (VillainGroup) wanted in yesterday's attack were being led by (VillainBoss)
You heard about the attack by the (VillainGroup). If (VillainBoss) was the one behind it, then even the revitalized Paragon Police will have trouble bringing them to justice.
Fortunately, that's why there are heroes like you.

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

There's an APB on (VillainBoss), leader of local (VillainGroup) cell
As the police band dispatcher rattles off the crimes that put an APB on (VillainBoss), you remember that you'd heard where that villain might be holed up.

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

(VillainBoss) has issued a direct threat against (Hero)
The police band calls it a threat, but you know that this is a challenge. Well, if (VillainBoss) wants a fight, then you'll be ready to give one.

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

(VillainBoss) is at large. Consider suspect super-powered and dangerous!
(VillainBoss) at large? This can't be good. It will only be a matter of time until (VillainBoss) has amassed a group of the (VillainGroup) and takes to the streets. Time to stop this, now.

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

(VillainBoss) is wanted for selling information to Arachnos
You'd heard that (VillainBoss) didn't have any moral scruples, but selling secrets to Arachnos? How can even a villain sink that low?

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

(VillainBoss) of the (Villaingroup) has just escaped the scene of a crime
Does (VillainBoss) think that justice can be escaped this easily? Some villains never learn, but that's why heroes like you must confront them.

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

We have an unconfirmed sighting of (VillainBoss) with a group of the (VillainGroup)
It sounds like (VillainBoss) of the (VillainGroup) is at it again, and the streets of Paragon City won't be safe until this has been stopped.

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

We have confirmed that (VillainBoss) has escaped from Ziggursky Penitentiary
(VillainBoss) has escaped the Zig? No doubt with the help of cronies among the (VillainGroup). The streets won't be safe until you've brought the escapee back to the justice.

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

We've lost contact with (VillainBoss)! Suspect is considered extremely dangerous!
You've heard that (VillainBoss) was bad news. Taking care of this situation before innocent people gets hurt would be a good idea.

Object Retrieval Missions

The object of an object retrieval mission is to locate the specified object in the mission and defeat any guards that are in the same room with it.

Unlike the missions of the Rogue Isles Protector, where every item has its own mission, the Police Band ones assign random items to mission heading. Thus, the same item may be stolen from a villain exposition, forgotten in a train or ransomed by a villain group. Henceforth, I've decided to list the heading and the items separatedly, since there are hundreds and hundreds of possible combinations.

Headings

Get (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

All units: Cancelling APB on renegade scientists. Subjects were under mental control by members of the (VillainGroup) to work on (VillainGroup)
Mind controlling scientists? You didn't even know that the (VillainGroup) could do that! This might be a good time to step in and get (Object) they were forced to work on away of the (VillainGroup).

Get (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

All units be on the alert for members of the (VillainGroup) carrying stolen the (Object)
Members of the (VillainGroup) with stolen (Object)? You'd heard about that earlier today. Might be a good thing to investigate.

Get (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

All units, all units: Dr. Sheridan has reported (Object) missing. He reports this may become a scientific emergency.
If Dr. Sheridan is worried, this might be bad. As you think about it, weren't some members of the (VillainGroup) talking about sneaking into his lab? This might be worth your time to investigate.

Get (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

All units, we're reporting a theft of (Object) by members of the (VillainGroup)
The (VillainGroup) have struck again, this time stealing (Object). If they have access to that, it could be bad for the whole city.

Get (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

An attack by members of the (VillainGroup) on a SERAPH transport has stolen the (Object) and evaded pursuit. Subjects are considered dangerous. Approach with caution
You'd heard that a group of the (VillainGroup) were planning a big raid to steal something like that. Fortunately you had your contacts locate their hide-out, just in case.

Get (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

Be on alert: (VillainGroup) agents have stolen (Object) from the "Famous Villain Technology" display at the museum.
You'd known from the beginning that a display of villain technology would only be trouble, but there's no time for pointing fingers and placing blame. You've got to get (Object) back from the (VillainGroup) before it's too late.

Get (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

Computer hackers hired by the (VillainGroup) have stolen information on the (Object)
So, (VillainGroup) hired computer hackers to do their dirty work. That would explain rumors that they'd been stealing computer equipment. Fortunately, you've heard where the group masterminding their plans are.

Get (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

Detectives have found a missing scientist who claims (VillainGroup) forced him to work on (Object) for them
It's good that the police have rescued that scientist, but the after-effects might be out of their league. Getting (Object) away from the (VillainGroup) is something you can handle, though.

Get (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

Detectives report a note left behind by the members of the (VillainGroup) who carried out the theft of the (Object) claims that society is to blame
Members of the (VillainGroup) who blame society? Wait a second... You know which cell of the (VillainGroup) that was. (Object) may even still be there.

You need to get (Object) from the (VillainGroup) before they can use it to hurt people.

Get (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

Dispatcher to all units: Neighborhood watch reports of a new cell of the (VillainGroup) matches the probable destination of Object) that was recently stolen.
Sometimes the most vigilant guardians of the city are the citizens themselves. And if they've found where the (VillainGroup) have hidden (Object), all the better.

Get (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

Reporting an assault on a DATA field team by members of the (VillainGroup). Attackers escaped with (Object)
While it's worrisome that a DATA field team had (Object) on them without proper protection, it's more important to get it back from the (VillainGroup) now.

Get (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

Security guards are reporting a break-in at Portal Corporation offices by members of the (VillainGroup). Perpetrators escaped with (Object)
Portal Corporation works on a lot of strange things like (Object), and it makes them a big targetfor groups like the (VillainGroup). That's something you just can't allow to happen.

Get (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

We have a report that the (Object) has been hijacked from the docks by members of (VillainGroup)
You'd heard that members of (VillainGroup) were seen casing the docks. This could fit the pattern. Time to act.

Leaving the (Object) in the hands of (VillainGroup) is a recipe for disaster.

Get (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

Witnesses reporting that members of the (VillainGroup) were after (Object)
If those witnesses are correct, the results of (Object) in the hands of the (VillainGroup) could be bad for the whole city. This might be a good case to investigate yourself.

Recover (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

A report is out that (Object) was stolen from an auction by members of the (VillainGroup)
You knew that auction was a dangerous idea when you heard about it, but getting proven right isn't always a good thing. The PPD have their hands full. This might be a good task to handle yourself.

Recover (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

All units be on alert: MAGI has requested assistance in finding (Object)
MAGI has had a lot of bad luck keeping mystic items out of evil hands. It would be a good idea to help them on this one.

Recover (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

All units, be on the look out for (Object). Owner reports it was lost on the train
You have to wonder how anyone could lose (Object) on a train, but that does match the rumor that members of the (VillainGroup) were claiming to have it.

A lot of cops could get hurt if they try to get (Object) from the (VillainGroup).

Recover (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

All units: the (VillainGroup) have stolen (Object) and escaped pursuit
You'd heard rumors that members of the (VillainGroup) had been seen casing the location where (Object) was being kept. Time to pay them a visit.

Recover (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

All units advised to continue searching for the (VillainGroup) in posession of the (Object) before their deadline ends.
You'd heard that the (VillainGroup) had issued a threat, claiming that they could use the (Object) in some way to bring ruin to the city. You're not sure this is a real threat, but it might be worth taking care of.

Recover (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

Be on the alert: the (VillainGroup) is threatening to destroy (Object) unless the ransom is paid
(Object) is a valuable relic. You can't let the (VillainGroup) destroy it.

Recover (Object) from the (VillainGroup) and defeat (VillainBoss)

Be on the lookout: (Villaingroup) members have robbed an estate sale and escaped with (Object)
You have to wonder how something like (Object) could have ended up at an estate sale, but that's Paragon City for you. The important thing is to get it away from the bad guys.

Steal (Object) from (VillainGroup)

According to the police band, the (VillainGroup) are attempting to ransom (Object) back to the rightful owners, and the police negotiator isn't making any headway
You heard about this situation the other day. The Police have their hands tied, but maybe if you interviened you could wrap this one up and keep the (VillainGroup) from profiting by this scheme.

Steal (Object) from (VillainGroup)

All units, be on alert: members of (VillainGroup) are fleeing the scene with (Object)
The (VillainGroup) got away with (Object)! That could be bad, if they know what to do with it. You'd heard a rumor that they'd set up a hide-out to use after an upcoming job, and this might be it.

Steal (Object) from (VillainGroup)

An APB is in effect: (Object) has been taken from Croatoa Museum of Antiquities
From the police band chatter, it sounds like members of (VillainGroup) staged a daring raid on theMuseum of Antiquities in Croatoa. They got away with (Object), and that could be trouble.

Steal (Object) from (VillainGroup)

Members of (VillainGroup) are wanted for illegal trafficing in mystic artifacts
It all makes sense now. You'd heard a rumor that someone was trying to smuggle (Object) into the city. It must be (VillainGroup)! Now all you have to do is catch them!

Steal (Object) from (VillainGroup)

The police have received a report from an occult expert that he was tricked into helping the (VillainGroup) use (Object)
According to the occultist, beforehe escaped, he learned that the (VillainGroup) had a plan of some kind involving (Object). Someone should put a stop to that.

Steal (Object) from (VillainGroup)

There are police reports of a home invasion in Croatoa by the (VillainGroup). Their vicitm reports that the villains got away with (Object)
A crook working for the (VillainGroup) stole a "leshy corpse" from a museum in Russia. Baltic legends say these creepy little faeries like to lead folks astray in their woods, wiping out trails, changing things around, and so on. Their remains can be used in spells that confuse and misdirect, and there's little doubt that's just what the bad guys want it for.

(BUG: Notice how the text has nothing to do with the heading. The object to recover in this mission may be any, despite the text mentioning the Leshy corpse.)

Objects

These are the objects that may be found in the police band's retrieval missions. Some are relevant to the storyline and provide clues. Many others have references or Easter Eggs.

Many of them are also present in the Rogue Isles Protector missions. Notice the descriptions are different for a same object.

Heists and Assaults Prevention

During this kind of missions, one of the numerous criminal groups of Paragon City will try to rob one of its banks, or some other establishment with plenty of cash and valuable items. The gang of attackers will be determined bu the overall level of the zone where the mission takes place in (example: a bank in Kings Row will be attacked by the Skulls, while one in Peregrine Island will be attacked by the Carnival of Shadows. Arachnos seems to be an exception to this rule and may appear in a wide variety of levels). The most daring elements of these groups may also even assault a Police precint, usually to free one of their own! Be warned that not every robbery is what it seems to be at the first glance.

Stop the Arachnos' attack at D'Amico's Pawn Shop

There is an attack in progress at D'amico's Pawn Shop in Skyway City!
The police dispatcher has just received a signal from the silent alarm at D'amico's Pawn Shop in Skyway City. It gets worse as you listen, because the perpetrators are Arachnos!
