Introductions
Too Low Level
Erm... well, you see... this is a little awkward... Frankly, Character, I'm worried that this mission might be more than you can handle.
Return when you are Level 45 or higher.
Not Enough People
Yes, yes, there's something you should attend to, Character, but it's not something you can handle alone. I think maybe that 4 of you could do it. Maybe you have some friends who will help?
You need at least 4 heroes on your team to accept this Taskforce.
Missions
Agree to form a task force
Return of the Reichsman
Part One: If I Could Save Time in a Capsule
Briefing
Oh, I'm glad you're here, Character! I've just found out that some villains are trying to steal Hero 1's time capsule. Please take your friend and stop them. You need to act fast to catch the criminals in the act.
Mission Acceptance
Please hurry! Time is of the essence and who knows what information the time capsule holds.
Erm, this may sound grandiose, but I've always wanted to say this. Ah, I dub thee Task Force Name!
Unnecessary Solicitation
The villains are robbing City Hall! Please go and stop them before it's too late.
Mission Objective(s)
They moved the time capsule to a vault under City Hall to keep it safe. It appears that wasn't enough to protect it!
- Stop the break in at City Hall
- Stop the villains
- Go through the portal
- Find and defeat Schadenfreude
- Destroy the troop portal
You didn't recover the information those villains stole, but you found something more serious -- 5th Column troops, preparing for an invasion! What's going on?!?

Debriefing
The 5th Column, you say? That's very odd. Let me do some research and see if I can discover what they are up to.
Erm, if you need to get in contact with me quickly, use my cell phone. Here's the number.
