Background

Mechanic and Inventor

Paula Dempsey moved to Paragon City as a child, when her parents were killed by an invading space armada in the late 60's. She grew up with her grandfather, a famous mechanic who did a lot more than just fix cars. Paula's grandfather maintained the fabulous weapons and equipment used by a hero named Gauge Steele, and Paula grew up hearing stories of their adventures. With a role model like that, there was never any question as to where her career path lay. Today, she not only fixes things, she invents them. She's got a wealth of contacts and has been an excellent resource for new heroes for over a decade.

Missions

Mission 1

Briefing

The Clockwork have taken over a warehouse in Kings Row, and it's one that the Skulls claim is on their turf. You have to get the Clockwork out of that warehouse before the Skulls get involved. You have 60 minutes to defeat the Clockwork.

Mission Acceptance

Hurry, before the situation endangers the public! Time is of the essence!

Objectives

• Defeate all the Clockwork and Skulls
• (Timed, 60 minutes)

Badge

Upon completing this mission, you will receive the Negotiator accomplishment badge.

Debriefing

Thanks for keeping the peace in Kings Row!

Mission 2

Briefing

We've got reports of some Clockwork down at the old abandoned APS Warehousing warehouse complex. Sources say they're using it as a staging area for a massive attack against the city. We've never heard of Clockwork trying anything this bold! It's absolutely imperative that you go to APS Warehousing and shut down the Clockwork plot!

Mission Acceptance

I hear there's a large robot inside called Clanger. Watch out for it while you are hunting for information.

Objectives

• Defeat Clanger and its guards
• Find evidence of plot

Clue

Diary of the Clockwork King

This diary is filled with the frenzied ramblings of the Clockwork King. In one section, he writes:

'This hero reminds me so much of the vigilante who destroyed my body and left me to this metal shell. I must eliminate this new threat.'

Debriefing

So, the Clockwork were planning nothing more than your demise! I'm sorry I sent you into a trap, but this diary may well be worth the risk. It should give us valuable new insights into the Clockwork King's madness. I must admit I always wondered why he had transplanted his brain into a Clockwork robot. Now I know. It's no wonder that he hates heroes so much, if it was one of them who consigned him to that fate. It's a sad thing, really. With his brilliant engineering skills, the Clockwork King could have been a hero in his own right.

Mission 3a

Briefing

There is trouble in Steel Canyon. Get your assignment from the Security Chief.

Mission Acceptance

You will probably be dealing with the Outcasts, so be ready for anything.

Objectives

• Talk to Security Chief, Steel Canyon

Mission 3b

Briefing

Steel Canyon Security Chief

Here is some info on the area. I need you to get out on the streets and contain the Outcasts. They can usually be found in Blyde Square or the Copper District.

Clue

Steel Canyon briefing

Steel Canyon is the financial district of Paragon City. Many national banks, insurance companies, and investment firms have their headquarters in this zone. In fact, so much money flows through Steel Canyon, Paragon City ranks among America's richest cities. Success has spurred the construction of so many skyscrapers that the place looks like a canyon made of concrete, glass and metal. The zone isn't without its dangers, though. The Outcasts have claimed the area as their own, and they've recruited a lot of kids with mutant powers related to the elements. That's what Outcasts love best - beating down their enemies with the power of the elements.

Objectives

• Keep peace in Steel Canyon
• Defeat 10 Outcasts

Debriefing

Well done; those Outcasts are a powerful bunch. It seems the number of mutants in the city is increasing rapidly.
