I wish to introduce you to a friend of mine. I believe you will serve each other well.

• Detective Jose Brogan

You should think about talking to Detective Jose Brogan. He's pretty intense, but he's a great cop and a good person to know if you are looking for information on the Lost. His beat is Atlas Park.

Detective Brogan will let you in on some interesting cases.

Vic Johansson's good police. He'll steer you towards some interesting opportunities involving the Lost, and help smooth things over with law enforcement. His beat is Kings Row.

Vic is good people, Character. You will enjoy working with him.

There's a detective who you should meet. Rachel Torres knows all about the happenings on the streets, and can probably give you good leads on the Lost. She can be located in Galaxy City.

Detective Torres is tough and efficient; you might learn a thing or two from her.

Information

Natural Hero Liaison

Derek Amberson was always a genius at the art of war. Tactics, strategy, swordplay; there was nothing in the marital arena he could not master. After taking an Olympic gold medal in fencing, Derek longed for work that would give him a different kind of reward. When he heard about the trouble in Paragon City, he immediately got on a bus, traveling all night to present himself at the ELITE offices the next morning. As liaison to new heroes with natural abilities, he is passing on his expertise to the next generation of heroes.

Wrong Origin Introduction

I'm afraid I haven't had the pleasure of your acquaintance. I believe you should be speaking to Active Contact.

Initial Contact

These are troubled times for Paragon City. I am glad to see heroes like yourself rising to the occasion, Character. I will do everything in my power to assist you in your quest.

Greeting

• Once again the city cries out for heroes.
• Will you help this city in her time of crisis?
• Greetings, friend. Let us save the day.

Too Busy

Even a hero can only do so much. You should finish some of the tasks you already have.

Too Low Level

Sorry, but all my tasks require Security Level 4 or higher.

No More Missions

I have no more jobs that might interest you, Character. You should ask your other contacts.

Store

• Inspirations (Luck, Catch a Breath, Enrage)
• Level 1 Training Enhancements (100% base costs) (Power 10 only)

  • Locate Andre Iverson

You found Andre Iverson.

Andre Iverson conversation

Andre Iverson told you: 'I swear, I never meant to get involved with the Council! I was just writing an article on the Paragon City government, and I guess I asked too many questions about the wrong officials! One of their officers came to see me last night; he said I could join them or die! They were planning to take me to a big training base right here in Atlas Park. There may be other people there who the Council recruited against their will!'

Adjutant Chalmers: We cannot afford interference at this early stage.

Debriefing

The Council is growing bolder by the day. Shutting down this operation should keep Atlas Park safe for the moment, but keep your eyes open. On the plus side, fighting those Council soldiers seems to have improved your combat technique.
