The End Justifies the Means (41-50)
Vigilante Morality Mission
You watch as a series of letters appears magically in front of you. The letters spell out a rather personalized message .
Player, this is Doc Quantum contacting you. I believe you may be aware of who I am, considering your own approach to dealing with problems. I appreciate someone who is bold enough to take care of a situation in the most efficient manner. With that said, I offer you an opportunity to, as you would put it, 'bring justice' to Ghost Widow of the Arachnos syndicate. It seems she was overly eager to acquire a special device of mine, and is now in a rather weakened state. Now's your chance to take care of her without any overly emotional heroes chastising you for your choices you make.
The message ends with the location of where Ghost Widow is supposedly at. This is obviously a trap, but for who? It doesn't matter... someone will be brought to justice by the day's end.
WARNING: This is a Morality Mission. Completing this mission will change your alignment to Vigilante. This means that the people of Paragon City will no longer see you as a Hero. Becoming a Vigilante means you will gain the ability to travel to the Rogue Isles, once you've completed this mission.
Bring justice to Ghost Widow without the eyes of the law on you.
WARNING: This is a Morality Mission. Completing this mission will maintain your current alignment of Vigilante, removing any progress you may have made on any other alignments.
Are you sure you want to do this?
Yes I want to bring justice to Ghost Widow with out the eyes of the law on you.
Even though Quantum has crossed the line in the past, it's entirely possible that this is his attempt to atone for his past crimes. Even if this is just some game between fellow Villains, it's best not to look a gift ghost in the mouth. Finding Ghost Widow unawares is an opportunity you can't pass up. And seeing that no other hero will be getting in the way, you can bring justice to her once and for all.
Find Ghost Widow and take her out once and for all.
You make note of the location Quantum provided you and make your way there.

Debriefing You saved both Paragon City and the Rogue Isles from the schemes of Doc Quantum, but the cost was higher than you imagined. The cities are saved, but you now have blood on your hands that will never come out!
You've saved the citizens of Paragon City at the cost of having to personally be the one to terminate the lives of countless individuals who swore to protect the people. But they knew what they were getting into when they signed on.
As sad as it may be, they died protecting everyone. It's a good thing you were there, or it might have been a much larger death toll.
