Difference between revisions of "Reconnaissance Officer"

You have arrived in The Hollows, which is considered a Hazard zone as you can tell by the big SWAT entrance behind you. However, under the constant supervision of the PPD, only certain regions tend to be more dangerous. Don't let that lull you into a false sense of security; you can bet that if you should stray from the pack, that'll be the perfect time for an ambush. Keep alert and come back here if you get in over your head.

RECONNAISSANCE REPORT
*** Approved Use Only ***
History: Years ago, the Trolls wanted to carve out more territory but were having problems above-ground so they took their business underground and found the residential community of Eastgate as their location. Armed with explosives, they began their work, not realizing that there was already extensive cave warrens beneath this area of Paragon City. The initial blasts destabilized a large area and collapsed a section of the zone into itself - this event became known as The Hollowing. Soon after, the Outcasts and Circle of Thorns moved in. Over recent years, additional Villain Groups (even some from the Rogue Isles) have made their way into The Hollows.

You are now in what is affectionately called 'Boomtown.' If you haven't noticed, this is a Hazard area, not just because the place is falling down around us, but because the hostiles that have moved in here have gathered in packs. Their numbers have increased, so yours should as well. Mind your step, there are plenty of demolished buildings and debris littering the area.

RECONNAISSANCE REPORT
*** Approved Use Only ***
History: Long ago, this area was a bustling urban center called Baumton, full of skyscrapers and massive office complexes. That all changed when the Rikti invaded in the First Rikti War against humanity. On Day 1 of the Rikti War this bustling community was hardest hit and turned into a wasteland. With the economy and housing industry crushed, the residents of Baumton moved to other parts of Paragon City, the area was sealed off to the general populace, and the bad guys moved in.

You have entered the area known as Terra Volta. This is an extremely treacherous location for Heroes to patrol so you should have back up. We have been unable to establish a foothold here, so you only have what you bring in. See my report for information on the Task Forces assigned to protecting the Reactor Core.

This Hazard zone is what is known as 'Dark Astoria'. Though you cannot see far due to the dense fog in the area, you are in a sort of modern age ghost town. The citizens have perished, but this place is by no means vacant. For the unwary Hero, it's also a death sentence. If you hope to maintain that heartbeat in your chest, you should find some friends or colleagues to help you. Otherwise, one of the spectral wanderers may, sooner rather than later, be you.

You are now in 'Eden', an incredibly ironic moniker considering this place is anything but. It's not for lack of effort on the part of the Devouring Earth, however. This is a face plant waiting to happen if you're not well prepared and surrounded by trusted Heroes. The enemies that you face here are far more difficult and group in much larger packs than you've probably experienced before. It's pretty ironic, since there is nearly nothing idyllic about it..
