== Overview ==
'''Sightseeing Magazine''' is a tip contact that offers [[Tour Guide Missions]] in [[Founders' Falls]].

===Introduction===
'''Lost and Found'''

''Exploration Mission''

{{blue|"Founders' Falls is the definitive destination for your Paragon City experience! The finest cuisine in the city, fabulous architectural scenery, and sublime Venice-like canals; treat yourself to the only the best."}} 

This magazine publication does a great job of selling why this district is the hip and happening place to be, and tourism has thrived for it. However, all the attention and wealth bring in the bad guys too, meaning there is also plenty for '''YOU''' to do and see. 

*{{green|Lose yourself in Founder's Falls.}}
*{{green|Find something else to do.}}

=== Too Busy ===
Surely the contacts whose tasks you have taken would have harsh words regarding any gallivanting about while they are depending on you. 

=== No More Missions ===
After losing yourself in the area, the articles feature nothing you have not already experienced. You find yourself knowing more about Founders' Falls than the magazine's journalists themselves.

== Missions ==
=== <u>Foggy</u> ===
'''Briefing'''

There is an advertisement for an upcoming skyscraper in the area set to offer rental suites for Super Groups to base their operations from. The photo they opted to use is particularly drab, a stark grey structure with all the windows grey and lifeless. 

Surely, No Supergroup would consider this building for their HQ? It doesn't stand out, but the privacy it provides could be nice... '''The address is not too far, so you opt to go take a peek.''' 

*{{green|Find the Foggy windowed structure.}}

Perhaps there is strategic value in opting for such a non-descript base of operations... 

Maybe that way of thinking is flawed, these unremarkable spots may be hiding '''more''' than they would suggest... Perhaps they warrant more scrutinization, rather than less? 

'''Mission Objective'''
*See the drab super group building
{{BadgeBox|Foggy}}

=== <u>Chaotician</u> ===
'''Briefing'''

There is a warning posted in the magazine:<br> {{blue|"The city commission continues to strictly advise against any exploring of the waterway tunnels in the area. Historically, these have often been inhabited by villains or utilized in villainous plots. After the Mandelbrot incident, we'd hope these reminders are not required, but will continue to post them as necessary."}} 

It would be good to know more about this reminder and the aforementioned incident. Whatever it was about, one would assume it does not involve bread. '''Perhaps the locals will be privy to the specifics...''' 

*{{green|Investigate Chaotician incident.}}

After asking a few people in the area, you learn that a '''Professor Xaos''' nearly destroyed the city using some sort of super-device that utilized the waterway tunnels. 

One local even provided directions to the specific tunnel, recalling some  ''"spiffy-looking'"'' heroes cleaning-up after the incident was resolved. 

'''Mission Objective'''
* Check Mandelbrot-relevant waterway tunnel Chaotician
{{BadgeBox|Chaotician}}

=== <u>Guardian Angel</u> ===
'''Briefing'''

The magazine has a feature about the pristine square that is host to Numina and Infernal:<br> {{blue|"The famous Williams Square is beautiful, clean, and best of all, entirely villain free! Come check out the elaborate architecture of one of Founders' Falls most iconic locales today."}} 

Villain free? That sounds too good to be true, there is always '''somebody''' shady hiding around, even if out of sight. If this is accurate, there has got to be some kind of secret. Not one to miss a good trick, '''you go to find out how they pulled this off.''' 

*{{green|Evaluate the square's Guardian Angel.}}

While you suspect the presence of Numina and Infernal play a role in this deterrent, other districts within the city also have equally capable heroes on-site and don't boast this level of security. 

Something more must be at work here... 

'''Mission Objective'''
*Inspect Williams Square's security
{{BadgeBox|Guardian Angel}}

=== <u>Losing Paradise</u> ===
'''Briefing'''

There is an urgent notice regarding the exit located in the district's southwest area: {{blue|}}{{red|Authorized personnel only.}} {{blue|All civilian access to the Woodvale gate has been indefinitely suspended. All trespassers will be prosecuted."}} 

Beyond that point lies the region that has been overwhelmed by the Devouring Earth, transformed into Hamidon's garden of 'Eden'. Your line of work may yet see you cross that threshold, '''to know where the line is held would be to your advantage.''' 

*{{green|See where the city is Losing Paradise.}}

The threat of the Devouring Earth has been fought to a veritable standstill. While the heroes of Paragon City work tirelessly towards repelling the Hamidon, a method of permanently halting the creature has yet to succeed. 

Your aid could someday be needed in the raids within '''The Hive''' aimed at keeping the Hamidon's growth in check. 

'''Mission Objective'''
*Observe the 'Eden' access gate
{{BadgeBox|Losing Paradise}}

=== <u>Watchful Eyes</u> ===
'''Briefing'''

The magazine details a lovely park with a great view of the city:<br> {{blue|"Our local Hutchinson Park has become a popular location for any outdoor activity! An anonymous protector is to thank for this transformation of what used to be a dangerous area, into one of the premier Founders' Falls vistas."}} 

This one is curious; what made the park so dangerous in the past and what did this mysterious benefactor do that made it so family friendly now? '''Per the usual, the quickest answer is to simply go investigate.''' 

*{{green|Enjoy the park under Watchful Eyes.}}

You do some sleuthing of your own through a few contacts familiar with the area. Speculation believes this park's sentinel to be none other than ''''Agent Indigo''''. 

While cleaning up a park for local tourists to visit is amicable enough, there's a suspicion that the real reasons behind their actions are likely much more macabre in nature. 

'''Mission Objective'''
*Tour Hutchison Park
{{BadgeBox|Watchful Eyes}}

=== <u>Hamidon's Fury</u> ===
'''Briefing'''

A blurb about the geography in the area sticks out to you:<br> {{blue|"Please maintain a reasonable distance from any hills near the War Walls, safety advisements are in effect regarding the high concentrations of Devouring Earth creatures reported in these locations."}}

Something did strike you as unnatural about the way the elevation surrounds the city here; '''as if the earth was encroaching maliciously.''' With the Hamidon involved, you are likely not far off the mark. 

*{{green|Experience the impact of Hamidon's Fury.}}

Surveying the map, you notice a location where the development meets the greenery in an odd juxtaposition. Most likely, this is where evidence will be found that confirms your suspicions. 

One cannot imagine this has helped improve the local property values any... 

'''Mission Objective'''
*Confirm the Hamidon's intrusion
{{BadgeBox|Hamidon's Fury}}

=== <u>Founders' Hero</u> ===
'''Briefing'''

There's a page dedicated to thanking the nearby medical center for its services and includes some historical tidbits:<br> {{blue|"The local Harvey Medical Center is named after the hero who gave their life protecting the hospital from a host of Circle of Thorns. A monument in their honor was erected on-site for their sacrifice. Never forget the light of those who made today possible."}} 

It is curious how a single hero could have managed to tip the scales against such odds. '''It would be good to pay this memorial a visit.''' The accomplishments of those with their backs to the wall never cease to broaden the definition of what is possible. 

*{{green|See a Founders' Hero memorial site.}}

These memorials never fail to evoke the ponderance if you could ever do the same, giving your life to make that final stand. 

There is much to be grateful for concerning the Medi-Porter system and modern medical advances, allowing many to defer making that particular decision for the time being. 

'''Mission Objective'''
*Visit Harvey Medical Center memorial
{{BadgeBox|Founders' Hero}}

=== <u>Misunderstood</u> ===
'''Briefing'''

There is a job bulletin section towards the back of the magazine where various assignments needing super-powered help can submit contact information. These are moderated by the publisher. One particular listing catches your attention, from an ominously named '''Agent Six:'''<br> {{blue|"Looking for capable personnel. Offering military training techniques in exchange.}}<br> {{red|This individual has been reported for violence.}}{{blue|"}} 

While the average person would most likely heed such a warning, things of this nature are suited to you. '''Time to go meet this Agent Six.'''

*{{green|Visit the Misunderstood agent.}}

Thinking on it, there are potentially a few people who might label you as violent. Sometimes in negotiation, a wee bit of...''"forceful persuasion"'' is needed. 

Surely whatever this agent did was justified... '''right?'''

'''Mission Objective'''
*Meet Agent Six under The Gaspee
{{BadgeBox|Misunderstood}}
