A Biting Wind (41-50)

An alarming and unnatural cold begins to settle in around you.

You get a sudden chill. Not the kind of chill you get when something creepy happens, but the kind of chill that freezes your behind off. The ground around your feet begins to freeze and storm clouds form in the sky. After doing a bit of research, you discover a clue, found in the Longbow alert database as to what's likely going on. Longbow is responding to the sudden cold as they've discovered that Polar Shift is working with the Circle of Thorns to cover the city in a perpetual winter that will eventually block out the sun's light.

Polar Shift was once a shining pillar of good in Paragon, but too much loss and pain caused her to fall into the ranks of villainy. You notice that Longbow has authorization to employ lethal force on Polar Shift when they encounter her. This order was issued by an Officer Jameson. He's known for taking an extreme approach to things.

You could stop her plan and attempt to return her to the light, but you'll likely have to go against Longbow to do so.

You could also stop her plan and employ Longbow's help in ensuring she never gets a chance to hurt the people of Paragon City again.

HERO Convince Polar Shift to give up the life of villainy.

VIGILANTE Work with Longbow to take down Polar Shift.

Hero Acceptance

Briefing

Polar Shift has wronged many people with her recent actions and has descended into villainy. However, you know it may not be too late for her to redeem herself. She views the world as a place that isn't worth saving. Maybe you can change her mind. Doing so will likely throw you directly against Longbow, though.

Convince Polar Shift to give up the life of villainy.

Officer Jameson is known as an extremist in his organization who doesn't let things go easily. By actively hunting down Polar Shift, he is beginning down the very same descent as his prey. It's time to stop this madness before it escalates beyond a controllable state.

Debriefing

Polar Shift seemed unsure of her decision to destroy Paragon City. You think you might have gotten through to her. She admitted she got no joy out of causing harm to others. Maybe she can make a difference by helping others again.

Vigilante Acceptance

Briefing
