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.

Defeat (Villain) and Guards

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.

Jon 'Booster' Rhodes will be safe and sound if you have anything to say about it.

Mission Objective(s)

(Villain Group) must be desperate to hide Jon 'Booster' Rhodes, so desperate they got sloppy.

• Rescue Jon 'Booster' Rhodes
  • Rescue Jon 'Booster' Rhodes

You rescued Jon 'Booster' Rhodes!

Dialog

Enemy Mob 1: What are you, from the future?
Jon 'Booster' Rhodes: Look, I know how this is gonna end, and it won't be good for you.
Enemy Mob 2: Very funny.
Enemy Mob 1: We got trouble!
Jon 'Booster' Rhodes: No one ever listens.
Enemy Mob 2: How did you know?

Jon 'Booster' Rhodes: Nice work. You took those guys down like some kinda war machine.
Jon 'Booster' Rhodes: Thanks for the help. I actually was expecting someone else, but you did a great job.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Get the Liquid Computer from the (Villain Group)

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

You need to get the Liquid Computer from the (Villain Group) before they can use it to hurt people.

Mission Objective(s)

Did they really think they'd get away with stealing the Liquid Computer in Paragon City?

• Get the Liquid Computer
  • Get the Liquid Computer

You got the Liquid Computer from the (Villain Group)!

	The Liquid Computer
	From the more exotic areas where information technology and beverage engineering overlap comes the Liquid Computer. By utilizing laminar fluid flow and self-assembling nanotech scaffolds, this liquid can perform more calculations that a supercomputer, all in a 2-liter bottle. And it's caffeine free!

Get the P.L.O.T. device from (Villain Group)

We have a report that the P.L.O.T. Device has been hijacked from the docks by members of (Villain Group). You'd heard that members of (Villain Group) were seen casing the docks. This could fit the pattern. Time to act.

Leaving the P.L.O.T. device in the hands of (Villain Group) is a recipe for disaster.

Mission Objective(s)

All the evidence shows that the P.L.O.T. device must be here. You can only hope you're right.

• Get the P.L.O.T. device
  • Get the P.L.O.T. device

You got the P.L.O.T. device from (Villain Group)!

the P.L.O.T. device

The Phased Linear Oscillation Transducer is a miraculous device, capable of producing such a variety of effects that many find it simply unbelievable. However, overusing a P.L.O.T. device can have serious consequences, and the more egregious uses can strain the very fabric of reality. P.L.O.T devices have fallen out of favor overall, but many a young and reckless pioneer has picked up a well-used P.L.O.T. device and run with it.

Recover a Dragoon Ball from the (Villain Group)

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

A lot of cops could get hurt if they try to get a Dragoon Ball from the (Villain Group).

Mission Objective(s)

There's an unnatural wind here. The Dragoon Ball must be here.

• Get a Dragoon Ball
  • Get a Dragoon Ball

You got the Dragoon Ball from the (Villain Group)!

	a Dragoon Ball
	Legends say that if you find all 7 of the Dragoon Balls, it will summon a mighty mystical cavalryman who can grant you a wish. But this is only one of them, so it's really not that useful.

Heist Prevention

For successful Heist prevention, prevent the villains from robbing the bank and escaping with the cash.
