==== Starting the Story Arc ====
This story arc may start with either the '''Check out the warehouse in Steel Canyon''' mission or the '''Pick up the Tsoo data from Juliana Nehring''' mission.

==== {{UL|Pick up the Tsoo data from Juliana Nehring}} ====

'''Briefing'''

Hey there, {{Character}}.  I've got a pretty simple task for you today.  My friend [[Juliana Nehring]] has some info on the [[Tsoo]] that I would very much like to hear.  Trouble is, she's kind of paranoid about using normal channels.  Could you go pick up the Tsoo data from Juliana?  I know I can count on you to keep it safe.

'''Mission Acceptance'''

Thanks a lot, {{Character}}; this will set Juliana's mind at ease.

===== {{UL|Get Tsoo info from Juliana}} =====
'''Unncessary Solicitation'''

I really need that info from Juliana Nehring.

{{Mission Objective|Entrance=|Primary=Get Tsoo info from Juliana|Secondary=|Additional=|Completion=}}

{{Mission Briefing|Contact=Juliana Nehring|Text=I'm so glad {{PAGENAME}} sent you.  My sources tell me that the [[Trolls]] have been meeting secretly with the Tsoo.  In fact, I just got word that some Tsoo were seen entering a Troll-occupied office building not far from here.  I think you should go check it out.}}

{{Mission Clue|Name=Conversation with Juliana Nehring|Text=Juliana Nehring told you, 'My sources tell me that the Trolls have been meeting secretly with the Tsoo.  In fact, I just got word that some Tsoo were seen entering a Troll-occupied office building not far from here.  I think you should go check it out.'}}

===== {{UL|Bust gang leaders, their crews}} =====
'''Unncessary Solicitation'''

{{orange|need info}}

{{Mission Objective|Entrance=This seems like an ordinary office building, but the unnatural hush tells you that no legitimate business is being conducted here.|Primary=Bust gang leaders, their crews|Secondary=3 office workers to rescue|Additional=|Completion=On one of the defeated Tsoo, you found a drug ampoule.}}

{{Mission Clue|Name=Drug ampoule|Text=You found this ampoule on a defeated Tsoo, in an office that had been taken over by the Trolls.  The white skull logo indicates that it is probably [[Superadine]].}}

'''Notable NPCs'''
* 3 Office workers (Hostages)
* Mr. Mann {{Named|Faction=Tsoo|Type=Dragon Fly}}
* Torvald {{Named|Faction=Trolls|Type=Caliban}}

{{NPC Text|text=Mr. Mann: As usual, your violent tendencies complicate the simplest of matters. Haven't you learned? When you take hostages, masks show up.<br/>
Torvald: We smash you up good!<br />
Mr. Mann: Heroes, naturally. Attack!}}

'''Enemies'''

{{Enemy Trolls}}
{{Enemy Tsoo}}

'''Debriefing'''

Thanks for taking on the Tsoo and the Trolls.  This ampoule you found probably contains Superadine, but I'll check it out to make sure.

I have a bad feeling that the Tsoo are planning something big.  We need to look further into their meetings with the Outcasts and the Trolls.

==== {{UL|Check out the warehouse in Steel Canyon}} ====

'''Briefing'''

Good day, {{Character}}.  I am hearing some troubling rumors today.  Could you check out a warehouse in [[Steel Canyon]] for me?  There have been reports of high-ranking [[Tsoo]] going in an out of there for days.

'''Mission Acceptance'''

I have the feeling the Tsoo are planning something big.  Please see what you can find out.

'''Unnecessary Solicitation'''

Have you checked out that warehouse yet? I need to know what the Tsoo are up to. 

{{Mission Objective|Entrance=The scorch marks and patches of frost on the walls mark this building as an [[Outcasts]] hangout.|Primary=Bust gang leaders, their crews|Secondary=Search for clues|Additional=|Completion=You defeated the villains and recovered an artifact.}}

{{Mission Clue|Name=Statue of falcon|Text=While fighting the Outcasts, you recovered this bronze statue of a screaming falcon.  It seemed that the Tsoo were trying to sell it to the Outcasts, though you don't know what they expected in return.}}

'''Notable NPCs'''
* Mr. Ting {{Named|Faction=Tsoo|Type=Dragon Fly}}
* Hurricane {{Named|Faction=Outcasts|Type=Lead Shocker}} or Brimstone {{Named|Faction=Outcasts|Type=Lead Scorcher}}

'''Enemies'''

{{Enemy Tsoo}}

{{NPC Text|text=Brimstone: Can we expect to receive more artifacts for our services?<br />
Mr. Ting: Your loyalty will not go unrewarded.<br />
Brimstone: Protect the artifact!<br />
Mr. Ting: Deal with them!}}

'''Debriefing'''

That statue you found is exactly the kind of artifact the Outcasts crave.  It may be that the Tsoo were trying to sell it to them.  Now, if we only knew what they wanted in return.

==== {{UL|Take drug ampoule to Wyatt Anderson}} ====

'''Briefing'''

I got a call about that drug ampoule you found at the meeting between the [[Trolls]] and the [[Tsoo]].  My friend [[Wyatt Anderson]] is pretty interested in seeing it for himself.  Would you take the drug ampoule over to Wyatt?

I'm still trying to learn more about that artifact the Tsoo were trying to sell to the [[Outcasts]].  The minute I hear anything, I'll let you know.

===== {{UL|Take drug to Wyatt Anderson}} =====
'''Unncessary Solicitation'''

{{orange|need info}}

{{Mission Objective|Entrance=|Primary=Take drug to Wyatt Anderson|Secondary=|Additional=|Completion=}}

{{Mission Briefing|Contact=Wyatt Anderson|Text=You're right, this drug is packaged exactly like [[Superadine]].  But it isn't.  It's [[Rage]].

The Tsoo have been manufacturing Rage lately; they're hoping it will become the new drug of choice.  Let me tell you, you don't want to mix the two.  It would cause a massive chemical imbalance in the brain, turning you into a berserk killing machine.

Oh, I almost forgot; {{PAGENAME}} called me.  Apparently [[Vitaly Cherenko]] wants a look at some artifact you recovered from the Outcasts.  Vitaly Cherenko said you should get it to him without delay.}}

{{Ambush|After speaking to Wyatt Anderson, you will be ambushed by the Tsoo.}}

===== {{UL|Take artifact to Vitaly Cherenko}} =====
'''Unncessary Solicitation'''

Hey, didn't Wyatt give you my message? Vitaly Cherenko wants to look at that artifact the Tsoo were trying to sell to the Outcasts.

{{Mission Objective|Entrance=|Primary=Take artifact to Vitaly Cherenko|Secondary=|Additional=|Completion=}}

{{Mission Briefing|Contact=Vitaly Cherenko|Text=You say the Tsoo were trying to sell this artifact to the Outcasts?  Well, that brings a whole new meaning to the phrase 'buyer beware!'  This statue gives the bearer power all right, but it does so by eating away at his soul!

I think the Tsoo may be trying to sabotage the Outcasts.  Maybe you should hit the streets in [[Steel Canyon]].  If you defeat enough Tsoo, you may convince one of them to tell us more about their plans.}}

{{Mission Clue|Name=Vitaly Cherenko's observations|Text=Vitaly Cherenko told you:

'You say the Tsoo were trying to sell this artifact to the Outcasts?  Well, that brings a whole new meaning to the phrase 'buyer beware!'  This statue gives the bearer power all right, but it does so by eating away at his soul!  I think the Tsoo may be trying to sabotage the Outcasts.'}}

===== {{UL|Interrogate Tsoo about plot}} =====
'''Unncessary Solicitation'''

{{orange|need info}}

{{Mission Objective|Entrance=|Primary=Interrogate Tsoo about plot|Secondary=Defeat 15 Tsoo|Additional=|Completion=You found a coded note on one of the defeated Tsoo.}}

{{Ambush|After accepting this mission, you will be ambushed by [[Tsoo]].}}

{{Mission Clue|Name=Coded note|Text=You found this note on a Tsoo gangster.  It reads:

'R Y N P S K N G S E Q S R J T P D P J I R C J H L S I X J D R J Q Y A P J N I K A I N N P A I K S P N J L N P S R A I K S R 9 7 C S L S C A R X V N S Q F R Y S R H J P N Q X I R Y N Q A Z N P Q E N S O O N O Q J V N C S I A I C P N S Q N L P J O T C R A J I H P L J'}}

'''Debriefing'''

So, one of the Tsoo you defeated was carrying this note?  Nice job.  I think I can get this decoded pretty quickly.  With any luck, it'll tell us more about the Tsoo's recent meetings with the Trolls and the Outcasts.

I've sent the note that Tsoo gangster was carrying to a cryptographer.  Hopefully he can give us some solid information to go on.

==== {{UL|Clear Out the Tsoo Headquarters}} ====

'''Briefing'''

I've got a guy hard at work decoding that [[Tsoo]] you note you found, but I don't think we can wait for his translation.  I just got a tip on the location of the Tsoo headquarters; if we don't move quickly, they may have a chance to move.  I need you to clear out the Tsoo headquarters now.  Take this com unit so I can get in touch with you wherever you are.

'''Mission Acceptance'''

The headquarters is under the control of a Tsoo known as Mr. Po.  Above all, I want Mr. Po in custody.

===== {{UL|Defeat Mr. Po and his crew}} =====
'''Unnecessary Solicitation'''

Get out there and find that Tsoo hideout.

{{Mission Clue|Name=Com unit|Text=This waveband communications unit should allow your contact to get in touch with you anywhere in [[Paragon City]].}}

{{Mission Objective|Entrance=Discarded tattoo needles testify to the Tsoo's unwavering allegiance to their gang.|Primary=Defeat Mr. Po and his crew|Secondary=|Additional=|Completion=Do you copy? It's {{PAGENAME}}.  I got that note decoded.  It seems the Tsoo are using that [[Rage]] drug to poison the Trolls!  The note you found reveals the location of their Rage lab.  We need you to get over there and shut it down.  {{PAGENAME}} over and out.}}

''You found a strange bronze statue, similar to the one the Tsoo were trying to sell to the Outcasts.''
{{Mission Clue|Name=Statue of deer|Text=You recovered this bronze statue of a wounded deer in a Tsoo hideout.  It is similar in design to the dangerous artifact you found the Tsoo trying to sell to the [[Outcasts]].}}

===== {{UL|Defeat all Tsoo in Rage lab}} =====
'''Unnecessary Solicitation'''

What are you doing here?  I told you to get over to that lab and shut it down!

{{Mission Objective|Entrance=This high tech equipment wasn't purchased by a bunch of floundering gangsters.

'''Debriefing'''

Great job.  The Tsoo won't be poisoning the [[Trolls]] with their Rage anytime soon.

The way I figure it, the Tsoo are trying to weaken all the other gangs in Paragon City.  They tried to poison the Trolls by giving them Rage, a drug that reacts badly with the [[Superadine]] that the Trolls regularly take.  And they tried to cripple the [[Outcasts]] by selling them artifacts that consume the bearer's soul.  Who knows what they are doing to undermine the other gangs?
