Level 30-34
My friend Tina Chung asked me to send you over. She's a high tech P.I. specializing in illegal technology, and she always needs heroes like you to help her investigate the Freakshow and Nemesis. She works primarily with technological heroes and has access to Invention and Gadget Enhancements.
Tina can be harsh, but she is good at what she does. Don't let her get under your skin; if you prove yourself, she will accept you.
Jenny Firkins is an environmentally conscious scientist who has a personal stake in bringing down the Devouring Earth and Crey. She is very dedicated to her work with science heroes and has access to Invention and Genetic Alteration Enhancements.
Jenny cares very much about Paragon City, Character. I think you will find working with her a pleasure.
Neal Kendrick has a lot of dirt on the Freakshow and Nemesis. He used to be with the FCC, but now he concentrates on helping heroes with their investigations. He works primarily with technological heroes and has access to Invention and Gadget Enhancements.
You will enjoy working with Neal. He is determined and skilled.
Allison King is psychic; She's quite adept at gathering information from people's minds. She has a great deal of knowledge about the Circle of Thorns and the Council. She works primarily with magic heroes, and has access to relic and focus enhancements.
Allison is kind, and caring. Take good care of her.
I'd love for you to work with Phillipa Meraux, a former hero who now specializes in counter-terrorism. Go and see her if you want more information on the Rikti or Crey. She works primarily with natural heroes and has access to Gadget and Relic Enhancements.
Phillipa is very demanding, but her sources are top notch.
You might want to go introduce yourself to Lou Pasterelli. His politics are more than a little radical and he's had some run-ins with the authorities, but he can be a great help against the Devouring Earth and Crey. He works primarily with science heroes and has access to Invention and Genetic Alteration Enhancements.
Lou is a firebrand, but he knows how to get things done!
Peter Stemitz is an interesting case. People say the soul of an ancient shaman dwells within him. Both souls speak through Peter's body, which can be a little disconcerting. He has a great deal of knowledge about the Circle of Thorns and the Council. He works primarily with magic heroes, and has access to Relics and Focus Enhancements.
Be warned, Peter and the shaman will both speak to you. Expect the shift in speech.
Level 35-39
Colleen Nelson is a top notch lawyer who recently joined the district attorney's office. She has dedicated herself to bringing down the Council. She usually works with mutants and can provide Focus and Genetic Alteration Enhancements.
Colleen is a rising star in the legal world. I think you two will work well together.
Information
Defender of Commerce
Jose Escalante is a man with a mission. It's his goal to make sure Paragon City remains a place where business gets done. A self-described 'rabid capitalist,' Jose uses his many connections to put together mergers and assist businesses large and small. He's learned the hard way that the biggest roadblock to profits in Paragon City isn't regulation or zoning ordinances; it's the darned super villains. And so Jose found himself an interesting and profitable niche to fill: he helps connect businesses with heroes who can protect their interests. He's no simple security broker, however. Jose concentrates on solving specific, acute problems: emergency situations that need taking care of right away. To do that he relies on a cadre of friendly heroes who are eager to help out, sometimes for profit, but usually because it's the right thing to do. As Jose says, it's the perfect business arrangement: everyone wins, except the villains.

Missions
Defeat Council in Brickstown
Briefing
The Council has recently made a habit of sending War Wolves to the streets of Brickstown to 'relax'. And by relax, I mean terrorize the local population. That can't be allowed to continue and I'm asking you to fight it. I would like to see you hit the streets of Brickstown and show the Council that people aren't their play toys.
They've been sending up a lot of War Wolves into Seven Gates and the Abyss Towers, but whatever you're fighting and wherever you're doing it, the message will get across.
|
Ambush!
After accepting the mission you will be ambushed by a single squad of Council soldiers |
Mission Objective(s)
- Defeat Council in Brickstown
- Defeat 35 Council
You have defeated enough Council agents.
Enemies
Debriefing
The Council's upper echelons have ordered the troops to curtail their wilder activity, for now. I know it may be kind of frightening to think that those calculating madmen are watching your actions so closely, but it's actually a good thing. Yeah, they're watching you. They're watching because they're afraid.
