Information

FBSA agent

Janet Kellum had one of the highest scores in the history of the Federal Bureau for Super-powered Affairs entrance exam. Her partner, Maxwell Christopher thinks that she has her head too far in the clouds sometimes, but there's no denying that the progress she's made into the Crey investigation is astounding. Janet is fond of her gruff partner, but envies the fact that his seniority allowed him to select Nemesis duty for himself.

Initial Contact

Countess Crey is one of the most insidious villains operating in Paragon City today. You and I are going to bring her down!

Story Arc

The Evil Countess Crey

Souvenir: Julianne's diary

You've kept the diary of Julianne Thompson, the idealistic young woman who grew up to become the cold-hearted Countess Crey. It's a reminder that sometimes our dreams betray us, and we wind up becoming a twisted version of our own best impulses, just like

The Evil Countess Crey

It all began with a simple missing person case. Pamela Thompson was looking for her daughter, Julianne, who disappeared more than a decade ago. You went to Julianne's old loft, but found Crey agents there trying to dispose of any clues. You found Julianne's diary, which mentioned a trip to see a hero, the Night Fox.

You went to the cave where the Night Fox makes his home, but Crey agents had already spirited him away.

Undaunted, you hit the streets. One of the Crey agents you defeated was carrying printed orders that gave the location of the facility where the night fox had been imprisioned.

You descended on the facility and rescued the Night Fox before Crey could extract his DNA for use in their Revenant Hero Project. The Night Fox had some harsh news for you, however. The last he had heard of Julianne Thompson was of her death, years ago, in England. Your contact arranged for the girl's body to be returned to the States, and you went back to your ordinary routine.

But it wasn't over yet. When the body arrived in Paragon City, Pamela Thompson could not identify it! She claimed that it belonged to another woman. You took a lock of the dead woman's hair to Cadao Kestrel, the voodoo master. He performed a ceremony and revealed that the name of the dead woman was Clarissa Van Dorn, the maiden name of the Countess Crey.

Your contact surmised that Julianne Thompson had murdered the real Clarissa, asumed her identity and married Count Crey under false pretenses. You went to a Crey facility to try to apprehend the murderous countess. You didn't find her, but you did recover an interesting e-mail from a Crey computer. It spoke of a disgrunted Crey employee, Howard Quigley, who might be able to disrupt the launch of Crey's new computer operative system, CreyComp. When you returned to your contact, you learned that Countess Crey had managed to deflect your accusations. No warrant would be issued for her arrest. On the contrary, an APB had been issued for you! You were wanted for breaking and entering, assault and theft of Crey property.

You had only one clue to go on: the disgrunted Crey employee. If you could find him, perhaps he could tell you something about Crey Industries that could prove your actions were part of a legitimate investigation. You arrived at his office in time to rescue him from a mob of Crey agents, and he told you that he suspected the CreyComp OS had a hidden, nefarious purpose.

A wanted criminal, you went after Crey once more. You collected the source code for CreyComp and took it to Justine Kelly for analysis.

Justine analyzed the code and informed you of the shocking truth: CreyComp was a mind control tool. Using subliminal messages, Crey Industries would soon be in complete control of all CreyComp users. To stop it, you went to a Crey warehouse and destroyed the CreyComp disks awaiting shipment.

This wasn't enough, though. You also had to eliminate the source code. Justine concocted a computer virus, and you uploaded it to the Crey network. This not only eliminated CreyComp for good, but also accessed incriminating files within the Crey database and e-mailed them to Crey's customers.

Countess Crey's guilt was now proven, and you were exonerated by the mayor. You were given a warrant for Countess Crey's arrest, and hit the streets to track her down. One of the Crey agents you defeated was carrying a copy of the countess' escape plan.

You went to the cave network where she was hiding and arrested her. Countess Crey is now awaiting trial on charges of corruption and conspiracy.

Find Pamela Thompson's missing daughter, Julianne

Briefing

A woman named Pamela Thompson contacted me today and asked if you could help her find her missing daughter, Julianne. the catch is, the trail's more than a decade old. Julianne disappeared when she was twenty-five, shortly after a brief stint in the slammer. Her mom's been watching your coverage, and she thought you might have what it takes to finally solve this case. She gave me the address of the old building where Julianne used to maintain a loft. Maybe you can find something there.

According to her mom, Julianne was a good kid who wound up in jail after she tried to make waves for a crooked politician. It's a pretty sad story.

Mission Objective(s)

This old building hasn't been used in years, but the dust on the floor has definitely been disturbed.

• Defeat all villains in building
  • Find clue to Julianne's location

You found a clue to Julianne's whereabouts.

Julianne's diary

The name 'Julianne' is embossed in gold on the well-worn cover of this old diary. It contains a young girl's dreams for the future, a future which she hoped to have a hand in improving. Julianne's incisive plans for social welfare and crime prevention are recorded in impressive detail, as well as her hopes to gather some heroes to her cause. The last entry mentions a planned trip to see a hero known only as the Night Fox.

Notable NPCs

• Security Chief Quinton

Debriefing

Crey security was there? Curious. What do they care about a missing person case that went stale over a decade ago? Perhaps Crey has something to do with Julianne's disappearance? They'd hate to see something like that come out now, right when they're gearing up for the release of their new computer operating system, CreyComp.

Talk to the Night Fox

Briefing

I'm going to have a word with Pamela Thompson. She never told me the other heroes who investigated her daughter's disappearance wound up dead! In the mean time, you might as well go talk to that hero mentioned in the missing girl's diary. The Night Fox may have been the last person to see Julianne befre she disappeared.

The Night Fox's retired now, but he still lives in a cave. He was really into the whole brooding hero lifestyle.

Mission Objective(s)

You've known few heroes as dedicated to an image as the Night Fox. Though this cave has been made comfortable, it exudes the image of a loner on the fringe of society.

• Defeat security chief & his men

You defeated the Crey security, but there is no sign of the Night Fox.

Enemies

Crey

Debriefing

Crey kidnapped the Night Fox? It sounds like we've got more on on our hands than a decade-old missing person case. Crey must have had something to do with Julianne Thompson's disappearance! Why would they be trying to eliminate all our leads?

Find out what Crey has done with the Night Fox

Briefing

We've got to find out what Crey has done with that retired hero, the Night Fox. Not only is he in grave danger of becoming another unwilling donor for Creys disgusting Revenant Hero Project, he's also the only lead we have to the disappearance of Julianne Thompson. I'm beginning to suspect that girl may have fallen victim to some sort of Crey plot. The weird thing is, she disappeared years ago, back when Crey was just a European company of moderate means.

One of the Crey agents on the street may know something. If I were you, I'd start looking in Crey's Folly; that's where you'll find most of them.

Mission Objective(s)

• Question agents about kidnapping
  • Defeat 45 Crey

One of the Crey agents you defeated was carrying a set of printed orders.

	Crey orders
	These orders, issued by one of the Paragon Protectors, tell the bearer to transfer the Night Fox to a facility in Brickstown, where his DNA will be harvested for the Revenant Hero Project.

Debriefing

Good work, CharacterName. These orders you found should lead us right to the facility where the Night Fox has been imprisioned. I really hope he can tell us what happened to Julianne Thompson.

Rescue the Night Fox

Briefing

Well, CharacterName, you did a great job finding out where Crey took the Night Fox. Now all you have to do is go in and rescue him. With any luck, he'll be able to tell you what happened to Julianne Thompson all those years ago. I'm certain Crey had something to do with her disapearance.

The Night Fox hasn't worked actively in years, but he used to be a really remarkable hero. I know you won't let him down.

Mission Objective(s)

You have to wonder how many of these breakers and tubes contain the DNA of unwilling heroes.

• Rescue the Night Fox

You rescued the Night Fox.

The Night Fox's story

When you rescued the Night Fox from Crey security, he told you: 'Yeah, I remember Julianne Thompson. Bright kid, wanted me to work with her. In fact, she wanted to gather a whole cadre of superheroes to fight for her causes: the war on drugs, government reformation, stuff like that. Lofty goals, but I had to turn her down. I mean, it's hard to trust an ex-con, you know? Julianne went to England looking for more heroes I guess. In fact, I heard she died there.'

Notable NPCs

• Security Chief Donovan
• Night Fox (non-escort hostage)

Debriefing

So, the girl we've been looking for has been dead for more than ten years? That's a real shame, CharacterName, a real shame. I'll break it to her mother. Maybe I can pull some strings to get Julianne's body shipped back to the states quickly; that way she can be buried in her family plot. That's the least I can do for her poor mother.

Check out Janet Kellum's hunch

Briefing

I just got word from Julianne's mother! According to her, that body that was buried under Julianne's name wasn't hers at all! Now, that may just be grief talking; after years of hoping for her return, Mrs. Thompson may not want to face the fact that her daughter's gone for good. But it got me thinking. I've got a hunch about who that body might belong to, CharacterName; now I just need you to check it out.

I want you to take a lock of hair from the body over to Cadao Kestrel, the voodoo master. He should be able to perform a ceremony to reveal the dead woman's name.

Mission Objective(s)

• Take lock of hair to Kestrel

	Lock of hair
	This lock of hair was cut from a body buried under the name Julianne Thompson. According to Julianne's mother, the body is not Julianne's. The identity of the dead woman is still unknown.

Cadao Kestrel

Debriefing

Thank you, CharacterName. One moment, and the true name of the dead woman will be revealed. Could you just hand me that bag of chicken bones? Thank you. The name of the dead woman is:

Clarissa van Dorn? But Clarissa van Dorn is Countess Crey! Van Dorn was her maiden name. CharacterName, something is very, very awry.

Debriefing

I knew it! According to Kestrel's magic, that body belonged to Clarissa van Dorn. That means that Countess Crey isn't the real Clarissa. No. Countess Crey is Julianne Thompson, the girl we've been trying to find. After she found that her prison record prevented her from gaining power the honest way, Julianne killed the real Clarissa, assuming her identity, and married Count Crey under false pretenses! CharacterName, this is the biggest break we've ever had against the countess. We may even be able to convict her for murder!

Bring in Countess Crey

Briefing

All right, CharacterName, this is huge. Countess Crey is guilty of murder, and you're going to bring her in! I'll put the word out to the police and the media. You go reel her in.

My sources think she's inspecting a Crey facility in Brickstown. Check it out.

Mission Objective(s)

You detect a subtle whiff of the vanilla perfume the Countess favours.

• Defeat all agents in lab
  • Seek clues

You found an interesting file, but no sign of Countess Crey.

Enemies

Crey

E-mail

This e-mail, found on a Crey computer, reads: 'Security chief Whitney:' 'I do not take Howard Quigley's threats lightly, and neither does the great lady we both serve. If he is bent on causing trouble, Quigley has the brains and the knowledge to disrupt the CreyComp launch. To forestall this possibility, please send a team to take him to our new re-education facility. Once he is loyal to Crey, we will have no more to fear.' 'Security Chief Alvarez'

Notable NPCs

• Security Chief Whitney

Debriefing

CharacterName, I've got some very bad news. The countess has a lot more power than we realized. We know she's guilty of murder, but the media won't report on our findings. And I can't get a single judge to sign a warrant for her arrest! But that's not all.

She's used one of those judges she has in her pocket to get you on the city's most wanted list! She has you on breaking and entering, assault, and theft of Crey technology! CharacterName, if you can't prove your activities were part of a legitimate investigation, you're going to spend the next 50 years rotting in the Zig!

Rescue Howard Quigley

Briefing

If we can't find some proof of her guilt, you may be arrested on Countess Crey's trumped up charges. We don't have a lot of leads to go on right now, but I think we should start by rescuing this Howard Quigley. Based on that e-mail you found, he sounds like an ex-Crey employee with an axe to grind. If we can get to him before Crey's mind control goons, maybe he can help us prove the countess is up to no good.

It looks like Quigley's got a new job over at Gaffnet Consulting. Here's the address. Oh, and I'd suggest sticking to the back allies whenever possible. Remember, you're a wanted hero.

Ambush!

After accepting the mission, you will be ambushed by Malta Operatives.

Mission Objective(s)

The light level in this office is kept to a minimum.

• Rescue Howard Quigley

You rescued Howard Quigley from the Crey agents.

Howard Quigley's story

When you rescued Howard Quigley from Crey's agents, he told you: 'Sure, I used to work for Crey. In fact, I was the lead developer on their new operating system, CreyComp. Let me tell you, we put together a sweet software package. But Crey wasn't happy with it. They kept asking me to insert extra patches of code, routines they had already built and tested independently. i got the feeling that there was something shifty about it. So I bailed. I put a monster Easter egg in the code: if you hit ALT + CNTRL + O while you have the options menu open, it brings up a picture of the countess morphing into a weasel. I left the company for good, and I told them they'd be sorry. I guess that's why they came after me.'

Notable NPCs

• Security Chief Gregson
• Howard Quigley (non-escort hostage)

Debriefing

Quickly, CharacterName. We need to keep you off the streets as much as possible. Quigley's story is pretty interesting, that's for sure. If he's right, the launch of CreyComp could be a disaster for more people than just Bill gates. We'd better check out his facts.

Get the CreyComp source code

Briefing

According to that ex-Crey programmer, Howard Quigley, the CreyComp code was shared among three Crey facilities. You'll need to access the mainframe in each facility in order to get the entire body of code. Then maybe we can figure out if the CreyComp operating system is really part of some Crey plot. nce you've got the full code, take it over to Justine Kelly, the software analyst. She'll tell us what we're dealing with.

I've been trying to pull some strings with my law enforcement contacts, but so far, no dice. You're still among Paragon City's 10 most wanted.

Mission Objective(s)

A bank a red lights begins flashing brightly as you step into the building.

• Get the CreyComp code

You found the first batch of code.

Investigate the Crey lab

Briefing

I've got a good lead on a Crey lab that's linked to the countess sick Revenant Hero Project. I don't want to get your hopes up, but my sources tell me Countess Crey herself is a frequent visitor to the lab. If you can find any evidence linking her to that lab, it'll be hard for her to maintain her plausible deniability. I need you to investigate that Crey lab right away. This could be big!

Dirt never seems to stick to the countess. Maybe you can change that.

Mission Objective(s)

You step through the door and hear an ominous whirr and click, as if a camera had just begun recording.

• Defeat all forces in lab

You survived the Crey ambush.

Temporary power:

During this mission you will be infected with:

Crey narcotic Auto, Self -Recovery, -Speed, -Recharge The Crey scientists have injected you with a narcotic that slows your movement speed, attack speed, and endurance recovery! After completing your mission, you should seek help from your contact. If you cannot reach your contact, the effect should wear off.

Debriefing

I guess Countess Crey thought you'd make a nice addition to her Revenant Hero project. Ugh. At least you made it out of there unscathed. I have to wonder, though. Those Crey agents said something about getting a sample from you? I wonder how much DNA the countess needs to construct her patchwork heroes?

Get the Rikti Monkeys

Briefing

I've received a frightening tip. According to my source, Crey has managed to get it's hands on several of those Rikti monkey pests that are such a nuisance on Peregrine Island. They're working on a way to bioengineer the little beasties themselves! We can't have that. I want you to get to this lab and get the Rikti monkeys out of there. That's right. Every last one!

My source tells me Crey's been trying to enhance the intelligence and reasoning of these creatures. I'm not really sure what you should expect.

Mission Objective(s)

A high-pitched hooting richohets down the metal corridors.

• Retrieve all three monkeys

You have extracted the Rikti monkeys.

Notable NPCs

• Enhanced Rikti Monkey (Allies)

Debriefing

I must say, I wasn't ready for this. After hearing your report, I had SERAPH run a few tests. It seems these Rikti monkeys aren't just physically enhanced, but mentally as well! They're not what you might call sentient, but they're fairly intelligent. That must be how they identified you as an ally.

The monkeys will remain at SERAPH for now, though I've been assured they'll be teated well. It's a strange world. Sometimes a very strange world indeed.

Get a sample of the Crey Cola formula

Briefing

Have you heard about this new Crey Cola that's going to be on the market soon? Well, I was watching a commercial for it last night, and I felt like I just had to try it! That's when I got suspicious. I had a friend take a look at Crey's advertising, and it turns out they're using subliminal messages to push this soda. I know Crey's competitive, but my gut tells me there's more here than cutthroat capitalism. I need you to get a sample of Crey Cola and get it to Dr. Steven Sheridan. He'll be able to analyze it.

Crey has its fingers in just about every industry in this town. It gives the Countess a lot of power.

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat Secutity Chief & his men
  • Unknown

Enemies

Crey

	Sample of Crey Cola formula
	You took this sample from a Crey bottling company.

Notable NPCs

• Unknown

Briefing: Steven Sheridan

My word! This formula is about 90% sugar, 9% artificial coloring and 1% nanite! You've heard of nanites, right? Tiny machines small enough to float around in the bloodstream? These are set to collect genetic information from the host, then transmit it back to Crey by radio signal. If this product makes it to the market, Crey will have genetic data on every Paragon citizen, including our most powerful heroes! You've got to make this information public!

Debriefing

Dr. Sheridan called me, and I've got the word out to every media outlet in the city. Wouldn't you know it, Crey got to them first, and they're not reporting the whole story. They're simply saying that the Crey Cola product is being pulled, pending further studies by the FDA. At least you and I know the truth. You saved the entire city from having their genetic data on file in some Crey lab.

Rescue Warren Lyte from Crey

Briefing

Have you ever worked with a hero called The Shining Light? She's a powerful Blaster who I give tips to from time to time. Well, her husband's gone missing! Naturally, Shiny's worried sick. I dont want to scare her, but an eyewitness saw her husband being dragged into a Crey facility! Will you rescue Warren Lyte from Crey? I'm sure Shiny'd do the same for your family.

The Shining Light has been keeping her eye on Crey corruption lately. Maybe their kidnapped her husband as retaliation.

Mission Objective(s)

• Stop Protectors' leader & her men
  • Rescue Warren Lyte

Enemies

Crey

Warren Lyte's story

When you rescued Warren Lyte, he told you: "I noticed something was wrong with Shiny a couple of weeks ago. She just didn't seem herself. I started questioning her, trying to figure out what was wrong. That was my mistake. It's hard to believe, but she's just not my Shiny anymore. Crey's changed her in some way! She's the one who had me kidnapped. I think they would have killed me if you hadn't shown up!"

Notable NPCs

• The Shining Light (Boss)

Debriefing

Well, Warren will be in protective custody for a while. He's pretty shaken up, and I don't blame him. It sounds as though Crey got their hands on the Shining Light's DNA and used it to construct an imposter. If Shiny's husband wasn't so observant, it might have worked, too. I don't know wether the real Shining Light is dead, or trapped in a Crey facility somewhere. I hope someday we can learn the truth, for her husband's sake.
