Stop the office rampages

Briefing

Freakshow have been rampaging from business office to business office non-stop today! They're terrorizing everyone inside. Here's the strange part: The Freaks are organized into half a dozen raiding parties. When the Freaks show this much organization, I get worried. Can you help stop the office rampages?

See if you can find some clue to what the Freakshow are up to. It might help us stop them.

Mission Objective(s)

• Bust Freak leader and his crew
• 3 hostages to rescue
• Lead last hostage out

Clue: Score sheet

This crumpled piece of paper chronicles the recent attacks made by the group of Freaks you defeated. It lists the attacks' locations and their times, as well as an estimate of the damage done to the buildings. At the bottom of the list is the scribbled comment, 'The other groups are racking up a lot of points. We gotta step up the pace!'

Notable NPCs

• Tanker Joe (Freakshow Tank Smasher)

Debriefing

You did a great job stopping those Freaks. Here's something you might want to know: I've talked to several other heroes who've fought the Freakshow recently, and some of them have also discovered score sheets like the one you found, listing Freaks' recent attacks. I think this might be part of some competition among the Freakshow factions.

Stop the Freakshow thefts

Briefing

From what I hear, the next event in this destructive Freakshow competition has begun. The Freakshow are on a rampage through the city, stealing anything alcoholic they can get their hands on. I've already sent some other heroes to stop a few of these raids, but we're going to need all the people we can to shut this down. Can you help stop the Freakshow thefts?

It looks like the Freak's actions are a lot more coordinated than ever before. This is definitely something big. I'm sending you to a neighborhood where several Freakshow teams have converged. I need you to locate each team leader and take them out. I'll call for an emergency force field to isolate the area.

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat Freaks' team captains
• 4 captains to defeat

You contained the Freakshow violence.

Clue: Freaklympics charter

This glossy flyer announces the start of the first Freaklympics, a competition for fun, fame, and prizes among the Freakshow factions. competition categories include office invasions, mass thefts, and more. The flyer cautions competitions not to let anyone else know about the Freaklympics, especially heroes.

Notable NPCs

• Free For All captain (Freakshow Tank)
• Mass Tech captain
• (missing 2 other captains)

Debriefing

The Freaklympics? I don't believe this. This is totally insane! They'll tear this city apart with this little competition of theirs, and they won't care a bit. This whole thing has to be stopped.

Rescue the city councilmen from the Freakshow

Briefing

I just got word that several city councilmen have been kidnapped by the Freakshow. And get this: the original kidnappers were just attacked by another group of Freaks! This is so chaotic, it could only be another Freaklympics event. Can I count on you to rescue the city councilmen from the Freakshow?

Those freaks may be fighting each other, but I suspect they'll drop everything to attack you.

Mission Objective(s)

• Save councilmen from Freakshow
• 4 city councilmen to save

You have rescued all of the kidnapped officials and ruined another Freaklympics event.

Notes

After you rescue a councilman, on of the lines they say is "They're madmen! Mad cyborgs. Madborgs. I'm just glad to get out of here!".

Debriefing

I've heard from the police; They have all those city councilmen in protective custody. The police tell me that the various Freakshow factions are looking at the Freaklympics as their big chance to win Dreck's favor. So they're going all out to win, no matter who gets hurt in the process. I have a feeling that this is far from over.

Catch the Kerner

Briefing

We've had a lucky break in the Freaklympics. Seems like one of the Freaks you brought in cracked under police questioning and told us about the next event. You won't believe this, but it's a scavenger hunt for Council gear. It's supposed to take place in Council bases! But it gets better. The Freak responsible for scheduling events, a juicer called the Kerner, is going to be on one of those raids. If you can catch the Kerner, it may give us a shot at stopping the next events before they start. Can you do it?

Between the Freakshow and the Council, this could get nasty. Just remember that you're after the Kerner first and foremost.

Mission Objective(s)

• Bust the Kerner and his crew
• Defeat all enemies (undisclosed objective)

You found and defeated the Kerner, and found a list of upcoming events.

Clue: Freaklympics event list

This slick, stylish pamphlet contains a complete list of all the events in the Freaklympics. The list of events is at once audacious and suicidal, from the almost mundane 100-meter smash and grab, to the mind-boggling Rockman wrangling rodeo roundup.

Notable NPCs

• The Kerner

Prevent the Freakshow tech thefts

Briefing

Thanks to that Freaklympics schedule you got, we should be able to stop the Freaks before they can do much more damage. Apparently, the next scheduled event involves breaking into research labs and stealing high tech equipment. Can you help us prevent those Freakshow tech thefts?

If we're lucky, you'll be able to stop this raid before it really starts.

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat all Freaks in lab
• 3 technicians to rescue

You stopped the Freaks' lab theft. But something one of the Freaks said sticks in your mind.

Clue: The Upstart Faction

One of the Upstart Faction Freaks you defeated said:

'You heroes don't know nothing! Nobody knows nothing! We're gonna win this, and we're gonna be Dreck's new favorites. No one'll be able to stop us once Upstart's on the streets again.'

Debriefing

It sounds like all of the Freaks at that lab were members of the Upstart Faction, a grou of Freakshow dedicated to total anarchy and the end of all government. Their leader, a young Freak named Upstart, was like a living messiah to them. But he was captured several months ago. If they are planning on breaking him out of the Brick House, that could take these Freaklympics from bad to madness. I'll see if I can turn anything up.
