Level 5-9
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.
Have you ever met Paula Dempsey? She's a real pistol and has a great deal of information on the Clockwork. You'll like her, and I'll bet she'll like you as well. Paula hangs out in Kings Row.
Paula has high standards, but I have no doubt you will live up to them, Character.
You should talk to Maurice Feldon some time. He keeps track of anything that's going on in the science world. He's particularly interested in the Clockwork King. Maurice's company is in Galaxy City so you can usually find him there.
Maurice may be a little reckless, but he is very intelligent and he means well.
I'd like you to meet Ron Hughes. He's a reporter, and lately he's been interested in the Skulls. Ron's magazine is located in Kings Row, so that's where he can be found.
Ron believes that science should be used for the good of all.
Juan Jimenez is a great photographer, and he's always got his ear to the ground. You should talk to him and see if he's following any big stories on the Skulls. Juan is currently covering a story in Kings Row.
Juan is always eager to help, and he knows where the action is.
Tony Kord is a good person to know. He knows what's happening in the city, especially where the Clockwork are concerned, and he'll often suggest solutions. Tony's company is in Atlas Park, so he usually hangs out there.
Deal honestly with Tony if you want his help.
You should consider introducing yourself to Laurence Mansfield. He is one of the more personable county coroners. He can be a very helpful resource on the Hellions and the Circle of Thorns. He is located in Atlas Park.
Mansfield has a strange sense of humor sometimes.
There's an EMT named Paco Sanchez who'd like to meet you. He's not only great at his job, but he also works well with heroes, tipping them off whenever he sees something interesting going on with the Hellions and the Circle of Thorns. Paco can be found in Galaxy City.
Paco primarily cares about saving lives.
You should introduce yourself to Genevieve Sanders. She's a pharmacist with a heart of gold who does a lot of community work, and she loves to help heroes against the Hellions and the Circle of Thorns. Genevieve is near the hospital in Kings Row.
She is one of the nicest people I know.
There's a young reporter named Linda Summers who you might enjoy chatting with. She's always pursuing some crime related story, especially stories dealing with the Skulls. Linda's latest scoop has her in Kings Row.
Linda responds well to directness and fair treatment.
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.
Have you heard of Hero Corps? They're a business that matches heroes up with jobs. There's a liaison named Henry Peter Wong there who's taking on new clients. You should chat with him about the Vahzilok menace. Hero Corps has Mr. Wong in Atlas Park.
Wong is pretty gung ho about Hero Corps; there's no denying that he will keep you busy.
Information
Police Liaison
Detective Becktrees is one of the most friendly cops on the force, and many heroes have started their careers with his help.
Wrong Detective
Aw, jeez, Character. I'd love to help you, but I think you're supposed to talk to my partner, Freitag. He'll steer you right.
Too Low Level
I am so glad you want to help, but maybe you should wait a bit. Until you're about Security level 5 or so, at least.
Initial Contact
Hi there Character. I'm Detective Becktrees, PPD. Detective Freitag's my partner, and we're here to help you get started with things. Okay, the way this works is, you keep an ear out on the police radio, and anytime you can help us, we'll appreciate it. After you've done enough to prove yourself, if anything big comes up, we'll try to get in touch with you directly.
Now that you've gotten a Police Radio, you can start scanning Police chatter to hear about the crimes as they're committed in your current zone. You can then act on a report by selecting it from the Police Radio, listed under your Contacts.
Greeting
- Thank goodness, it's Character!
- Lookin' good, Character.
- Character! Good to see you!
Outlevelled Contact
I'm afraid I don't have anything for you to do
Too Busy
Look, I've seen all the things you're doing, and I think you already have a lot to do. Things are calm right now. Take the opportunity to get things finished. We can handle if for now.
No More Missions
There's nothing going on right now. Things are so quiet, you can hear Freitag unwind.
