OK, Mueller's got a flyer waitin' that will bring you and your crew to Paragon City. It's a simple job, get in, get the info, get out.
Once you finish whatever his deal is, make sure you come back and let me in on a piece of the action. You'll do that, if you know what's good for you. Otherwise... Well, there ain't gonna an otherwise, is there?

Thus Spoke The Reichsman
Part Two: Wrong Place, Reichs Time
Briefing
OK, we got a chance to make even more dough with that squint Mueller. He's got another job that I can throw your way for the usual consideration.
Now that you got him that location and those security codes, he wants to go use them. That means he's gotta go to a secret base under Boomtown, which means he needs some help. Serious help. And you guys are about as serious as they come. So, what do you say? You up for heading into a dangerous situation with ol' Mueller?
Mission Acceptance
Yeah, that's the ticket. you know the drill; we got a flyer waiting to take you guys off to goody-goody land. We should be able to land you close enough to the objective that you'll be able to get in before anyone in Boomtown can notice. Once you're in the base, the fun begins.
Here's a reminder for you. Mueller's gonna go with you, since only he knows what he's after in that base. Try to make sure he comes back in one piece; he's our payday at the end.
Unnecessary Solicitation
You still need to kick the 5th Column out of Boomtown.

What? Mueller's information led you to free Reichsman and then he got blown up for his trouble? And you guys didn't get paid? That gets me steamed, Character. I hate not getting paid for your hard work!
I'm sure you ain't happy about this situation either. What say we get a little revenge against this jumped-up fascist bozo who took out my contact and left us with nothin' in our pockets. Le me look over this info, see if I can get an angle on him. Come back when you're ready and we'll find a way to get ours... even if we have to take it out of his hide!
Go Talk To Lord Recluse
Return of the Reichsman
Part Three: Sweet Revenge
Briefing
I can't believe we got cheated out of our payment by that Reichsman clown, Character. We gotta do something about this, especially since it sounds like those 5th Column cumps are gunning for us. I've been reading over that information you found, and it sounds like Reichsman is planning something big back in Boomtown. We can get our revenge by messing with Reichsman's invaion.
So Lord Recluse is going to be all hot and bothered about some clown invading Paragon City. That's like someone stealing his thunder. Maybe you should go talk to him and get some troops to keep the 5th Column rank and file busy while you deal with Reichsman. If you work it right, you can even get him to pay you for your 'help'.
Mission Acceptance
Hey, watch yourself. The info in those files you found says this Reichsman is one bad boy. He's going something to increase his power. Don't be shy about living to fight another day, if you know what I mean.

Mission Objective(s)
- Talk with Tina Macintyre
Briefing
I've been reading over those files you recovered, Character, and it looks like you have quite a problem on your hands.
Ask why Reichsman is so powerful
I believe that Reichsman has kidnapped a number of his counterparts -- including Statesman -- and is somehow transferring a portion of their power to himself. This is making him incredibly powerful, as you've seen.
Right now, I don't believe that there's a hero -- or hero team -- that can stand up to him. If he continues unchecked, his invasion will succeed and Paragon City will be conquered by the 5th Column.
Ask how you can defeat Reichsman
Reichsman is enhancing himself with cross-dimensional energy. If you can somehow reinforce his connection to his home dimension, you should be able to 'ground' him and, in effect, short out much of his added power. Reichsman will still be very powerful, but I believe you and your companions will be able to defeat him.
We know the coordinates of Reichsman's home dimension. If you go through the portal and tap some energy sources, I should be able to use that energy to power a device that will create a stronger connection between Reichsman and his home. Here, this scanner will let you see the sources. When you find them, just plant one of these taps on each one. I'll need about five sources to power the 'grounding ray'.
Good luck, Character!

Reichsman's Computer Files |
| These files are dossiers on various Marcus Coles from alternate Earths. It appears that Reichsman himself is a version of Marcus Cole from a world where the Germans won World War II! |
|
Reichsman's Plan |
| These files detail the Reichsman's plans to make an alliance of equals with four powerful arch villains. With Reichsman at the head of this "Council of Villains," he would have all of the resources he needed to run rampant over Paragon City! |
Debriefing
Ah, you have some information for me, Character. Thank you! Let me read these and, erm, see where they lead us.

Return of the Reichsman
Part Four: Visiting the Old Country
Briefing
The files were all information on different versions of Marcus Coles from alternate Earths. Erm, I'm not sure what that's leading to, myself, but if it involves alternate realities, then Tina Macintyre should be able to figure out what's going on. You should go speak with her.
Mission Acceptance
Ah, I've already forwarded the files to Tina, so she'll be up to speed when you speak with her. If anyone can figure out this dimensional stuff, it will be her.

{{Mission Briefing|Contact=Lord Recluse|Text=This situation you describe is most troubling, Character. I cannot have the 5th Column infesting Boomtown, not when I have plans of my own for the area. I thank you for bringing this problem to my attention before it became a major thorn in my side. But what to do, what to do. I am not yet ready to move against Paragon City but I fear that those heroes will misread my intentions if I send any of my lieutenants to deal with the 5th Column.
Tell Recluse you'll lead the attack
You are offering to take the lead on dealing with this Reichsman, Character? How... noble of you. Oh, I am certain you have reasons of your own for this kind offer, but far be it from me to look a gift horse in the mouth. If you take a flier to Boomtown and help deal with this little 5th Column problem, I will make sure that your efforts are backed by some of my troops. See what you can do to stop this Reichsman and the 5th Column, and I'll make it worth your while.
Tell Recluse you're heading to the flyer
You are an interesting man, Character. I shall have to keep an eye on you in the future. I trust that if you can't crush this petty invasion head on, you will be clever enough to find some other way to go about it. In fact, I almost hope Reichsman proves to be a challenge as I am curious as to what other plan you might formulate to defeat him. I wish you success in this endeavor, Character.

While you were dancing with that super-Reichsman, I had some people look at that information you got from the 5th Column base. Man, no wonder you couldn't take down the Reichsman! He's doing something to super-power himself.
I think I know where you can find out what's makin' Reichsman so tough, and maybe how to stop it or use it to give you an edge. Let me know when you're ready to go and figure out how to end this problem...
