Speaking to Security Terminal

This looks like the security terminal Twinshot told you to use when you showed up. Large flashing words indicate that you should choose one of the buttons below the screen.

Notification: You are on private property. Identify yourself at once!

My name is Character. Twinshot sent me.

Words begin streaming across the display.

IMPOSTER! REAL IDENTITY: Arachnos Infiltration Agent.

Initiating self-destruct sequence in t-minus five seconds and counting...

Wait! I'm not from Arachnos! I swear I'm really Character!

I'd prefer to keep my identity secret, thank you.

Words begin streaming across the display.

Unknown entities are to be terminated on sight!

Initiating self-destruct sequence in t-minus five seconds.

Hold on! Twinshot knows who I am!

My name is Inigo Mon--

Words begin streaming across the display.

Seriously? You went there? C'mon... That joke is, like, over twenty years old.

Just for that, this terminal will self-destruct in 5 seconds.

You're kidding. Tell me you're kidding!

(All answers end up with this sequence)

...FIVE...

Is this for real?

...FOUR...

But you can't just--

...TWO...

Hey, wait a second! You forgot three!!!

ONE!!!!!!!!!

[Step away from the terminal]

When ONE appears:

Security Intercom Terminal: *tic-tic-tic-tic-tic*

Security Intercom Terminal: *Tic-Tic-Tic-Tic-Tic*

Security Intercom Terminal: *TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC*

After Spawning:

Twinshot: BOOM!

Twinshot: Hey there, Character!

Speaking to Twinshot

Had you going, eh? You should have seen your face.

At least you didn't try to blow up the terminal the way that Flambeaux did when I pulled that trick on her.

What was that all about?

It's something I do to all the new guys. Keeps 'em on their toes. So, even though I think you're cool, my buddies might think you're a square, you know?

Now, I've already put in a good word for you, so this should be easy. Let's go introduce you to them.

Sounds good to me. Who's first?

Let's go chat it up with Proton. This is his place we're hanging out in, so I figure he'd want to meet the person who's tromping around the place, you know? He should be around here somewhere.

Oh yeah, up on the second floor. Down the hallway and up the elevators. I'll let you lead the way so you can get a good feel of the place.

Indeed.

First Encounter:

Proton: Oh, hello there.

Proton: You must be Character. Twinshot has been talking about you.

Speaking with Proton

Hello, Let me introduce myself. I am Proton, and I welcome you here to my lab. It may not be much, but considering my unusual circumstances, it was the best I could cobble together on short notice.

Unusual circumstances?

Oh, that's a long story, and one that I'll be happy to share once we get to know each other a little better.

Although I am looking forward to that time, currently I'm in the midst of running some very important analyses of recent data I've collected. And I need every moment I can get that affords me peace and quiet.

I apologize for disturbing you.

Oh, no! I didn't mean to imply that you were the one disturbing ---

Proton looks towards the direction of the new guest with a look of disappointment on his face...

(Flambeaux spawns)

I take it this is the person?

Oh darn... Well, it would seem that my experiment will need to be concluded later.

Ah... then it is her.

Ah Flambeaux, my dear...

Well, yes. I am doing the science again. A lot of science, actually. One could say I'm doing, oh, tons and tons of the science.

Perhaps I should let you get back to work?

No no, that's quite alright. I'm quite certain that I'll be unable to get any work done for, unfortunately, a very good while. However, I do thank you for your kindness, friend. Not everyone is so understanding.

Proton looks to Flambeaux with a polite smile on his face.

Flambeaux, have you met our new friend, Character?

I'll talk with her so you can get back to work.

You turn and talk with Flambeaux.

Speaking with Flambeaux

Hey there. The name's Flambeaux, because I'm hot. Like, hot because of fire, right? And also because, well, I'm hot.

Oh... Well... Uh... I see...

Don't listen to her - she's just jealous. I keep trying to tell her that the brooding emo look is sooo last year.

That's... Interesting, I think.

What? Where are you going, Proton?!

Great. Way to go, Twin. You just scared him away with your tough-guy look again.

Um...

So... I bet you have a lot of questions about me, don't you? Don't worry, it's natural - most people do. Well, where do I begin... Okay, so, like, I came here to Paragon City because I felt people needed a hero, right? And I knew that I'm so totally a hero, okay? So then-

Um... Twinshot?

But I was just getting to - FINE! I guess that little pipsqueak is more important than hearing about how I can make fire like totally shoot from my hands.

Well, I'm coming along, too!

Let's go find Dillo.

Flambeaux: Okay, so, like let me keep telling you all the things you need to know about me.
Flambeaux: So once I get off the bus from L.A., I look around the city and try to find some hero-ey things to do, right?
Flambeaux: And I'm all like, 'Flambeaux, girl, this city is gonna melt in the palm of your hands.'
Flambeaux: 'Cause I, you know, use fire. That's like one of my sayings... because it's about fire and all.
Flambeaux: Okay, where was I? Oh yeah, so I'm about to save the city from some bad stuff, okay?
Flambeaux: And then I see this total hunk of a guy with a skullface, right?
Flambeaux: And I'm about to let him ask me for my number, but then check this out...
Flambeaux: This skull guy is stealing some total dweeb's briefcase!!! See what I'm saying?
Flambeaux: So I tell the stud... 'Hey! You can't do that.'
Flambeaux: You know, like how a hero says stuff, right?
Flambeaux: And then he totally attacks me WITH A BAT!
Flambeaux: And I'm like, 'Oh no you did NOT just do that!'
Flambeaux: And then...
Dillo: *hoorb*My earthling friends, you come to make the sounds at me! My feeling is excitement at seeing more living earthlings!
Flambeaux: Hey! Are you paying attention, Character!? This part is important!
Flambeaux: So then...

Speaking with Dillo

'*hoorb*You are the friendly earthling that says Character! Correct, correct, yes?!

'*hoorb*

Dillo makes air sounds at you in greeting!

I... Uh... Air sounds?

Correct, correct! *hoorb* I am making air sounds like an Earthling so we can be friends! You are for friends with me, correct, correct?

I... Um... Think the answer is yes?

Jubilations and - how does the Earthlings say - the hot dogs! I can not make air sounds to say my energy sign - oh, Earthlings say 'name' - but my friends say that I am Dillo. You can bellow air and say Dillo to me, too. I will say Character to you and we will be happy! Correct, correct!

Um, is he saying we're friends now?

'*hoorb* I am from a world that is not Earth. And I come to warn the Earthlings of dangers.

The Proton and the Twinshot say it is too late because Shivans moved faster than me.

So now I stay and annihilate Shivans and end all existence of life signs of Shivan peoples!

'*hoorb*

For Earth!

You're here to help us with the Shivans?

Correct, correct! We own encounters with Shivans where annihilation was given as our gift.

(Twinshot leaves your party)

Dillo momentarily turns his attention to Twinshot.

'*hoorb* We will make sounds at you in future times, the Twinshot.

Dillo resumes speaking with you.

So my sounds are being made to say that we now find other life-clusters and give warnings to them. And I chose Earthling clusters!

Your people were destroyed?

Not all my people. Only in your counting of ten and eight of my planets were removed. My people still have three left.

Oh, that's horrible!

'*hoorb*The Flambeaux wants to make air sounds about her person! We like to listen to her, since she makes many, many air sounds! Let us open the breath-holes and listen to her air sounds, correct, correct?

Actually, I think your story is more -

The conversation pauses as Twinshot comes over the intercom.

[Caption] Twinshot: Listen up, kids. Looks like we have some unwelcome guests at the front door.
[Caption] Twinshot: How about you all lend a hand?

Dillo appears to swell up and you feel a slight vibration in your teeth for no explicable reason.

The Twinshot requests assistance! We must go!

I'm right with you!

Combat Start:

Grym: You are not welcome here, spider man. You will leave these champions alone!

Grym: I have delayed you long enough for the champions to arrive, evildoer.

Arachnos Defeated:

Grym: I come to you as a friend and protector. Let us parlay.

Twinshot: Okay, guys. I got the place locked down. Who's this?

Speaking with Grym

I am Grym, and I come from another land. I wish to join your group so that I may guard over your safety.

Why do you want to do that?

I have been chosen to bear the honor of protecting this city. I see that you are unable to defend yourself from the spider lords.

Well, I guess there is that. How do we know we can trust you?

By tracing the silver cord of my aura - Ah, yes... You possess inferi - different - senses than I do. Then you will need to use your own judgement.

Well, I guess...

Then it is settled. I shall choose a small area nearby and make a den.

Okay...

Speaking with Twinshot

Well, turns out is was a bit more exciting than I had originally planned. So whaddya think? Do we seem like people you'll want to hang with?

Sure, I'll think about it.

Okay, same here. I need to chat with the guys and see what they think about you.

That seems fair.

Why don't you meet me back in Atlas in a few and I'll let you know what they had to say.

See you there.

Speaking with Ms. Liberty

Hi there! I can help you with all of your training needs. Come to me anytime you feel your personal training is - I'm sorry, what was that?

I'm Twinshot's friend. She said you could give me some pointers?

Oh, you're Twin's friend? I know I've seen you around before, but I didn't know you were hanging out with her. Let me tell you something about that girl... She's got a good heart, you know?

Any friend of Twinshot is a friend of mine. What would you like me to help you with?

Why do I come to trainers for leveling?

A bunch of us here in Paragon City like helping other people. For instance, did you know there's a place where you can actually talk with other heroes just like you and I? I think they call it the Help Channel. But back to what I was saying.

When you gain a new level of experience, you may not know how to push your powers to that next level. However, that's what we trainers help you do. We show you all the things you can do with your powers.

How do I gain levels?

As you perform tasks for the safety of the people of Paragon City, you'll gain more and more experience. Once you've had your fill of learning the ins-and-outs of crimefighting, you'll increase your security level. That's when you want to come to me or another trainer and we'll show you how to take your powers up to the next level, too.

How do I know when to come to you?

You'll have a mental indicator letting you know it's time. Think of it like a flashing arrow. After we talk, you can decide where you want to apply your newfound powers. Sometimes you'll want to increase a power you already have, and other times you might even learn a new one. In the end, it's pretty much up to you. We're only here to help guide you along the way.

You mentioned others. Where are they?

They're all over Paragon City. You can usually find someone in just about every district. How about you pay a visit to Blue Steel. He's over in Kings Row, which is a short tram away.

How about you go pay him a visit and let him know that Ms. Liberty sent you. Kinda the way Twin did earlier.

I can do that. Thanks, Ms. Liberty.

Speaking with Blue Steel

Hello there, citizen. Are you in need of training suggestions today?

Actually, Ms. Liberty sent me to you for more pointers.

Oh, I see. I take it you're an up-and-coming hero? Good! This city can use all it can get. As you can tell, this part of the city is still struggling to get the street crime under control, which is why I'm here. What kind of pointers were you looking for?

That tram I came in on... Does it only go here?

Nah, the trams go to all different parts of the city. You should be able to find a monorail station in just about every district in the city and they'll take you to nearly every other one as well.

Just make sure you don't get off at the wrong stop. Some places can be a bit too dangerous for those new to the area. As a matter of fact, even here in Kings Row we have to deal with street gangs that simply don't respect the law.

Speaking of... would you be willing to do your civic duty as a hero and help take care of some of these gangs for us?

Of course! What do you need me to do?

All throughout the streets you'll find a variety of hoodlums. However, the ones that are the most blatant violators of the law as of late are a gang that calls themselves the Skulls. They're pretty easy to spot - each of them wears a piece of a human skull on their face.

You should be able to find them hanging out all around the police station here in Freedom Plaza. On your way back to Atlas Park, could you send a number of them to the hospital? We'll be sure to have a police escort waiting for them once they get patched up.

Absolutely. Thanks for the advice, Blue Steel.
