Stop the Sky Raiders' attack

Briefing

I learned something rather disturbing from one of my contacts in Talos Island. It seems the Sky Raiders are planning an attack on a secret conference in an office building over there. It's all very hush-hush; I can't even find out who the attendees are. But I'm sure they don't deserve to be assassinated! Will you stop the Sky Raiders' attack?

See if you can find out anything about the meeting while you're there.

Mission Objective(s)

The lobby is silent, except for the coffee machine humming in the corner.

  • Defeat commander, his entourage
    • 3 men to rescue

You have defeated the Sky Raiders and rescued the hostages.

Mysterious conversation
One of the men you rescued told you:

'I thank you for saving my life, but I'm afraid there's not much I can tell you. Our identities are a matter of national security, and so is our business in Paragon City. I only wish I knew how the Sky Raiders ferreted us out. I'll have my people look into it. In the meantime, I thank you and bid you farewell.'

Notable NPCs

Debriefing

I wonder who this mysterious trio was? You might think they'd give us a hint, since you saved their lives from the Sky Raiders.

Talk to Andrea Mitchell about the general

Briefing

I've identified one of the men you rescued from the Sky Raiders. He's General Toliver Johnson. He used to be in charge of the Joint Command Special Threat Response Battalion, a special team of soldiers trained to fight super-powered threats. The battalion doesn't exist anymore, but I know a woman who used to be part of it. You should go talk to Andrea Mitchell about the general. While your at it, take her these three photos of the other men.

The Sky Raiders might be on to you, so watch your back.

Photographs
These photographs show the three men you rescued from the Sky Raiders.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Talk to Andrea Mitchell

Debriefing: Andrea Mitchell

So you guys are digging around in the history of Vigilance? That's what we used to call the Joint Command Special Threat Response Battalion. Much easier to remember! Most of the unit was killed during the Rikti War; I was wounded shortly thereafter and left, but at least I can ID the guys in those pictures. One is former Deputy Secretary of Defense Eli Hunt; the other is a former hero named Wayne Evans, AKA Captain Indomitable. Indom was our adviser on super-powered threats. Secretary Hunt was the man who got the unit approved in the first place. And you already know who General Johnson is. What they're doing together, I can't say.

Debriefing

So we know that those men you rescued from the Sky Raiders used to be involved with that military unit Vigilance. What we don't know is what they're doing in Paragon City. Now that I've got some names, we can do some more digging.

Protect Eli Hunt from the Sky Raiders

Briefing

I have a lead on the whereabouts of Eli Hunt, one of the men you rescued from the Sky Raiders. One of my contacts told me Hunt's making a visit to a research lab here in Paragon City. If the Sky Raiders know about it, they might hit him there. I want you to protect Eli Hunt from the Sky Raiders. While you're at it, see if there's any more info you can dig up.

Be ready, though. If Eli knows something, you may not have much time to act on it after you rescue him. Maybe an hour or less, depending on how fast the Sky Raiders move once Hunt is rescued.

If you save his life again, Mr. Hunt might be more willing to trust us.

Mission Objective(s)

You look around and whistle. The equipment in one room of this state-of-the-art facility is worth more than the contents of your entire home.

  • Defeat commander, his entourage
    • Rescue Eli Hunt

You defeated the Sky Raiders and rescued Eli Hunt.

Eli Hunt conversation
When you rescued Eli Hunt for the second time, he said:

'You again? It seems your sources are almost as good as the Sky Raiders'. I can't tell you what we're in the middle of, at least, not yet. But I sure could use your help. When I came to the lab to have some technology analyzed, I sent my colleague, Wayne Evans, to investigate some shipping irregularities at a local warehouse. He's not answering his phone. If the Sky Raiders found me, they can probably find him. Can yo go to the warehouse and make sure he's all right? Wayne's a former hero, like yourself. I just hope he hasn't lost all his old moves.'

Notable NPCs

Mission Objective(s)

Everywhere you look, bombs are strapped to the walls. If you don't get Evans out of here quickly, there won't be much left to find.

  • Investigate warehouse - 60 minutes timed
    • 6 bombs remaining, Find Wayne Evans

You disarmed the bombs and found the body of Wayne Evans.

Shipping file
You found this large file of shipping manifests on the body of Wayne Evans.

Shipping records
These records describe a shipment of military supplies that was originally intended for Vigilance. The shipment was diverted by Irving Katcher, an officer in the Department of Homeland Security.

Debriefing

That's a real shame about Wayne's death. I really admired him when he was Captain Indomitable. I sure hope this file you recovered was worth his life.

Let's see here. These are shipping records dating back to just after the Rikti War. Apparently the warehouse Wayne was investigating was supposed to send some supplies to the new headquarters of that military unit, Vigilance. But the stuff never showed up.

It says here the shipment was diverted on orders of the Department of Homeland Security. The guy who signed the order, Irving Katcher, is in the private sector now. Maybe he knows what happened to that old shipment.

Check out Katcher's office

Briefing

Why don't you go check out Katcher's office? We need to learn more about those military supplies he diverted from the Vigilance unit. It looks like the Sky Raiders killed Wayne Evans to keep him from finding out what happened to those supplies. I'd like his death to mean something.

Be on the lookout for Sky Raiders.

Mission Objective(s)

The silence is broken by a sudden, strangled shout. Something bad is going on here.

  • Defeat commander, his entourage
    • Find Irving Katcher

You have defeated the Sky Raiders and rescued Irving Katcher.

Katcher conversation
When you rescued Irving Katcher, he said:

'All this is about that old shipment for Vigilance? I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I lost my job over it. You see, the unit commander, a guy named Colonel Duray, asked me to change the shipping orders. He had papers from the Pentagon approving the change, but they turned out to be forged. I cut through some red tape for the colonel as a favor, only to find out he was playing me. He, his men, and the equipment just disappeared. No one ever figured out where they went.'

Debriefing

Have you figured it out yet? The disappearing soldiers, the stolen equipment? Col. Duray and his men have become the Sky Raiders! No wonder the army was being so secretive. A rogue military unit? It doesn't get much more embarrassing than that. Maybe someday we'll find some proof for my wild speculations; until then, I'm pretty confident in my conclusions.
