Police Radio

Overview

The Police Radio is a police scanner in Paragon City used by the Paragon Police Department or PPD. It also serves as a source of Police Scanner missions, or short missions, that you must accomplish to get more contacts and/or Safeguard Missions.

Each zone's missions apply to the detective in that specific zone.

Missions

There are four basic types of missions for the Police Radio: Rescue Missions, Boss Missions, Object Missions, and Heist Prevention Missions. Each is listed separately below.

Rescue Missions

The object of a rescue mission is to defeat a mob of enemies holding the target person hostage and to lead that target person back out of the mission. Usually, a hero or a team will clear a path to the target person so that fighting on the way out is minimized. Once the mob holding the target person is defeated, several more enemies will typically spawn between the target person and the mission entrance to intercept the hero or team leading the target person out.

Defeat (Villain) and Guards

All units, we've received word from Kord Industries security that the VP, one Jon 'Booster' Rhodes, has not reported in to work for several days. Detectives are investigating the situation. The police detectives may be on the case, but you'd heard a rumor that the (Villain Group) had their eyes on Jon 'Booster' Rhodes as a mark for a while. If they made their move, you'd have the inside track to find them and put a stop to it.

Jon 'Booster' Rhodes will be safe and sound if you have anything to say about it.

Mission Objective(s)

(Villain Group) must be desperate to hide Jon 'Booster' Rhodes, so desperate they got sloppy.

• Rescue Jon 'Booster' Rhodes
  • Rescue Jon 'Booster' Rhodes

You rescued Jon 'Booster' Rhodes!

Dialog

Enemy Mob 1: What are you, from the future?
Jon 'Booster' Rhodes: Look, I know how this is gonna end, and it won't be good for you.
Enemy Mob 2: Very funny.
Enemy Mob 1: We got trouble!
Jon 'Booster' Rhodes: No one ever listens.
Enemy Mob 2: How did you know?

Jon 'Booster' Rhodes: Nice work. You took those guys down like some kinda war machine.
Jon 'Booster' Rhodes: Thanks for the help. I actually was expecting someone else, but you did a great job.

Rescue Polly

We've received word from the feds that the (Villaingroup) have escaped with a sample of an intelligent bioweapon
Uh-oh. You'd heard that the (VillainGroup) were looking to grab some street people after they'd made a big score, but it didn't seem to make sense. But if they have that intelligent bioweapon, they might be looking for test subjects!

Dialog

VillainMinion: Now, we wait until the bioweapon starts to kill her.
VillainBoss: Once we know it works, it will be ours to control!
Polly: Actually, I have been talking to the bioweapon about that.

(agroed)

Polly: The weapon and I have been talking. It's feeling inspired, and wants to try being a symbiote.
VillainMinion: We gotta handle Hero first!
VillainBoss: It's a weapon! It will...What do you mean, Hero?

(once free)

Polly: It's funny, but these little guys have a lot of good advice. I think this could work out really well.

(at the mission exit)

Polly: You know, I think getting infected with an intelligent bioweapon is the best thing that ever happened to me.

Boss Missions

In a boss mission, the object is to defeat a mob containing a named boss and his or her surrounding guards.

In these missions, basically, a random name from an enemy group in your level range is assigned to the mission, so, in practice, there could be a very high number of such missions.

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

A warrant has been issued for the arrest of (VillainBoss)
(VillainBoss) has been on the suspect lists of many heroes for some time. Bringing that rogue in could help a number of investigations.

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

All units be on alert: (VillainBoss) is on a rampage!
You've heard of (VillainBoss) of the (VillainGroup) before. You better put a stop to this before people get hurt.

You've seen the files on (VillainBoss). Excessive force can be the only thing that may stop that maniac.

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

All units: We have a report that (VillainBoss) was involved in a recent heist by the (VillainGroup)
You'd heard that (VillainBoss) was one of the upcoming new names among the (VillainGroup). Time to show everyone that crime doesn't pay.

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

Calling all available units in the area: We have a possible sighting of (VillainBoss)
There's a lof of chatter on the police band about (VillainBoss) of the (VillainGroup). Perhaps you should step in before some of the Paragon's finest get hurt?

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

Capture of (VillainBoss) has been made a top priority.
The Police want to bring (VillainBoss) in, but they're going to have a tough time doing it. You, however, could probably handle it.

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

Citizens are reporting a possible sighting of (VillainBoss)
(VillainBoss) of the (VillainGroup) is on the loose, and people is scared. Time to make Paragon City a little bit safer.

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

Increased (VillainGroup) activity has been linked to (VillainBoss). Proceed with caution.
The (VillainGroup) has been brazenly defying the forces of the law and order lately. From the sound of things on the police band, that's probably because of (VillainBoss).

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

The (VillainGroup) wanted in yesterday's attack were being led by (VillainBoss)
You heard about the attack by the (VillainGroup). If (VillainBoss) was the one behind it, then even the revitalized Paragon Police will have trouble bringing them to justice.
Fortunately, that's why there are heroes like you.

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

There's an APB on (VillainBoss), leader of local (VillainGroup) cell
As the police band dispatcher rattles off the crimes that put an APB on (VillainBoss), you remember that you'd heard where that villain might be holed up.

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

(VillainBoss) has issued a direct threat against (Hero)
The police band calls it a threat, but you know that this is a challenge. Well, if (VillainBoss) wants a fight, then you'll be ready to give one.

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

(VillainBoss) is at large. Consider suspect super-powered and dangerous!
(VillainBoss) at large? This can't be good. It will only be a matter of time until (VillainBoss) has amassed a group of the (VillainGroup) and takes to the streets. Time to stop this, now.

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

(VillainBoss) is wanted for selling information to Arachnos
You'd heard that (VillainBoss) didn't have any moral scruples, but selling secrets to Arachnos? How can even a villain sink that low?

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

(VillainBoss) of the (Villaingroup) has just escaped the scene of a crime
Does (VillainBoss) think that justice can be escaped this easily? Some villains never learn, but that's why heroes like you must confront them.

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

We have an unconfirmed sighting of (VillainBoss) with a group of the (VillainGroup)
It sounds like (VillainBoss) of the (VillainGroup) is at it again, and the streets of Paragon City won't be safe until this has been stopped.

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

We have confirmed that (VillainBoss) has escaped from Ziggursky Penitentiary
(VillainBoss) has escaped the Zig? No doubt with the help of cronies among the (VillainGroup). The streets won't be safe until you've brought the escapee back to the justice.

Defeat (VillainBoss) and Guards

We've lost contact with (VillainBoss)! Suspect is considered extremely dangerous!
You've heard that (VillainBoss) was bad news. Taking care of this situation before innocent people gets hurt would be a good idea.

Object Retrieval Missions

The object of an object retrieval mission is to locate the specified object in the mission and defeat any guards that are in the same room with it.

Unlike the missions of the Rogue Isles Protector, where every item has its own mission, the Police Band ones assign random items to mission heading. Thus, the same item may be stolen from a villain exposition, forgotten in a train or ransomed by a villain group. Henceforth, I've decided to list the heading and the items separatedly, since there are hundreds and hundreds of possible combinations.

Headings

Get (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

All units: Cancelling APB on renegade scientists. Subjects were under mental control by members of the (VillainGroup) to work on (VillainGroup)

Get (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

All units, we're reporting a theft of (Object) by members of the (VillainGroup)

Be on alert: (VillainGroup) agents have stolen (Object) from the "Famous Villain Technology" display at the museum.

Get (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

Computer hackers hired by the (VillainGroup) have stolen information on the (Object)

Get (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

Detectives have found a missing scientist who claims (VillainGroup) forced him to work on (Object) for them

Get (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

Detectives report a note left behind by the members of the (VillainGroup) who carried out the theft of the (Object) claims that society is to blame

You need to get (Object) from the (VillainGroup) before they can use it to hurt people.

Get (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

Dispatcher to all units: Neighborhood watch reports of a new cell of the (VillainGroup) matches the probable destination of Object) that was recently stolen.
Sometimes the most vigilant guardians of the city are the citizens themselves. And if they've found where the (VillainGroup) have hidden (Object), all the better.

Get (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

Reporting an assault on a DATA field team by members of the (VillainGroup). Attackers escaped with (Object)

Leaving the (Object) in the hands of (VillainGroup) is a recipe for disaster.

Get (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

Witnesses reporting that members of the (VillainGroup) were after (Object)

Recover (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

A report is out that (Object) was stolen from an auction by members of the (VillainGroup)
You knew that auction was a dangerous idea when you heard about it, but getting proven right isn't always a good thing. The PPD have their hands full. This might be a good task to handle yourself.

Recover (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

All units be on alert: MAGI has requested assistance in finding (Object)
MAGI has had a lot of bad luck keeping mystic items out of evil hands. It would be a good idea to help them on this one.

Recover (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

All units, be on the look out for (Object). Owner reports it was lost on the train

Recover (Object) from the (VillainGroup)

Be on the alert: the (VillainGroup) is threatening to destroy (Object) unless the ransom is paid

Steal (Object) from (VillainGroup)

According to the police band, the (VillainGroup) are attempting to ransom (Object) back to the rightful owners, and the police negotiator isn't making any headway

Steal (Object) from (VillainGroup)

All units, be on alert: members of (VillainGroup) are fleeing the scene with (Object)

Steal (Object) from (VillainGroup)

An APB is in effect: (Object) has been taken from Croatoa Museum of Antiquities

Steal (Object) from (VillainGroup)

Members of (VillainGroup) are wanted for illegal trafficing in mystic artifacts

Steal (Object) from (VillainGroup)

The police have received a report from an occult expert that he was tricked into helping the (VillainGroup) use (Object)

Steal (Object) from (VillainGroup)

There are police reports of a home invasion in Croatoa by the (VillainGroup). Their vicitm reports that the villains got away with (Object)
A crook working for the (VillainGroup) stole a "leshy corpse" from a museum in Russia. Baltic legends say these creepy little faeries like to lead folks astray in their woods, wiping out trails, changing things around, and so on. Their remains can be used in spells that confuse and misdirect, and there's little doubt that's just what the bad guys want it for.

(BUG: Notice how the text has nothing to do with the heading. The object to recover in this mission may be any, despite the text mentioning the Leshy corpse.)

Objects

These are the objects that may be found in the police band's retrieval missions. Some are relevant to the storyline and provide clues. Many others have references or Easter Eggs.

Many of them are also present in the Rogue Isles Protector missions. Notice the descriptions are different for a same object.

a Dragoon Ball

Legends say that if you find all 7 of the Dragoon Balls, it will summon a mighty mystical cavalryman who can grant you a wish. But this is only one of them, so it's really not that useful.

a Responsometron

This densely packed computer core could be used as the AI for a very advanced robot. Some even think that a human consciousness could be updated into one.

a Rikti Bomb

It's here, and still deactivated. This bomb uses a strange Rikti power source in an out-of-control reaction to produce an immense ammount of damage. Good thing you got to it.

a Rikti interface

The Rikti used some kind of telepathy to communicate with their semi-organic technology. Before the Rikti War was over, human scientists were trying to learn how this worked, so that they could copy it or jam it.

Event Horizon

It's an odd crystal with a thin violet line running through the middle. You have no idea how to read it, but there's a large "spike", like on a heart monitor, a few milimeters to the right. Does that mean some major event is coming soon?

File X

These files contain accounts of truly extraordinary events. And in a world where superhumans fly through the sky, that's saying something. Entire departments in government agencies filled with top men work on this kind of thing. With the knowledge in here, someone unscrupulous could have caused a great deal of trouble.

Formula 13

Formula 13 was one of the last of the Cold War attempts to create a super-trooper serum that could turn normal people into superhuman soldiers. It never worked right, but stolen data from the program helped in the creation of Superadyne.

G-Cells

These are cells from one of the giant monsters the late hero Talos fought back in the 1960s. No one has been able to unlock their genetic secrets and control the effect of the experiments since, but science continues to try.

Inobtanium Alloy

This alloy of Nonsuchium and Yeahritium is an extraordinary material. It's a good thing that you were able to get it away from the bad guys.

Long John's silver

The cultural and historical importance of these silver coins recovered from the bottom of the sea far outweigh their monetary value. But some would say that their magical value is greater still.

Prototype Artificial Intelligences

These prototype artificial intelligences are dangerous foir their ability to be molded. In the wrong hands, they could become free-roaming cyber terrorists, or worse. But thanks to you, they have a chance to become productive members of the electronic world.

Scepter of Mot

Mot was the Carthaginian god of death and sterility, before the city of Carthage was destroyed by ancient Rome. For some reason, mystically oriented villains seem attracted to Mot's few remaining artifacts.

Serafina's Veil

It's said once every hundred years the genie Serafina casts her old veil aside to find a new one. Many unscrupulous sorcerers would do anything to get their hands on it in the hope they could use it against the benevolent genie.

Space ship blueprints

These are blueprints for a spaceship, first designed back in the 1970s. It was designed to reach the moon, but you have to wonder what a group of villains would wwant to get to the moon for?

The all-purpose virus

The all-purpose virus is a cyber-somatic virus, a computer virus with the illogical ability to infect both computers and humans. This sample has been deactivated, but it could be used to create another outbreak.

the Blue Oyster

The Blue Oyster is a giant sapphire. Rumors say it can be used to summon a giant monster from the depths, or contact elder beings called "The Invisible Ones". Whatever it's supposed to do, it's best that the bad guys don't have it anymore.

the Book of K'Gar

This is suppossed to the holy text of an alien religion from the future, but no one's been able to decipher it. Legends say no one will be able to interpret it properly until the year 2260.

the Claw of Doom

This vicious looking mumified claw looks like it came from a demon or worse. Legends say that you need a truly wicked heart to use it, so it's a good thing that you recovered it.

the Crown of Enos

This old crown supposedly came from an old cult in the Rogue Isles. Whatever strange energies it possesses, it's important that you get it out of the bad guys's hands.

the Dagger of Erishkigel

The blade feels heavy in your hand. Visions of demons and ancient ziggurats dance in your mind. You feel a dark and malevolent presence creeping into your mind, urging you to put the blade to your throat. You have to fight with all of your will just to put the thing down, bu the images won't fade until is sealed away.

the Dagger of Ti-Anjun

This strange dagger has been sought for years by Nepalese monks, who want it returned as a holy artifact. It's supposed to have the power to slay demons, when wielded by the right person.

the Golden Seas

This painting is done completely in gold leaf, and supposedly shows an island in the ocean that once had a portal to another world.

the Hand of 0mega

This isn't so much a hand, as a big elaborately decorated box. The thing doesen't seem to respond to anything, like it's just waiting for it's true owner to return.

the Leshy corpse

This is disgusting. It looks like some kind of naked pygmy with blue skin and green hair and eyes and smells like rotten eggs. You're pretty sure it's culturally relevant somehow, to someone.

The Liquid Computer

From the more exotic areas where information technology and beverage engineering overlap comes the Liquid Computer. By utilizing laminar fluid flow and self-assembling nanotech scaffolds, this liquid can perform more calculations that a supercomputer, all in a 2-liter bottle. And it's caffeine free!

the mandrake root

It's said this man-shaped root screams when torn from the earth. This one was already been picked, so it's not so bad.

the neural scrambler

It may look like a high-tech egg-beater, but this thing is supposed to be able to radically alter people's thought processes. No one's even gotten it to work right, but the threat of it alone has caused trouble to this city in the past.

the Notes of Dr. Don Gee

Dr. Don Gee was a famous mystic of the 1600s who supposedly died during a mysterious sea voyage. These notes, written in cipher, supposedly detail the mystic rituals he used to secure his fortunes at the cost of others.

the Oberation Oscillthruster

This is an Oberation Oscillthruster! And they'd thrown it away like a piece of trash. Those villains must not have had any idea what this was. You'd better get this back, and quickly.

the OTTO MCRC-E

The Over-Taking MicroChip Remote Controller, model E, is a self-propelled robot capable of intercepting a vehicle and over-riding it's internal guidance systems. They're very dangerous in the wrong hands, but excellent for handling out of control vehicles.

the Oxygen Destroyer

This unique weapon was created by a Japanese scientist to combat aquatic giant monsters. It's hideous effects caused it to be banned by UN treaty.

the P.L.O.T. device

The Phased Linear Oscillation Transducer is a miraculous device, capable of producing such a variety of effects that many find it simply unbelievable. However, overusing a P.L.O.T. device can have serious consequences, and the more egregious uses can strain the very fabric of reality. P.L.O.T devices have fallen out of favor overall, but many a young and reckless pioneer has picked up a well-used P.L.O.T. device and run with it.

the Painting of Lee Towers

It's a painting of Lee Towers in Paragon City, but it seems alive. Clouds move, people walk about, heroes fly by, and even the time changes. Rumor is you can use the painting to get inside, but no one knows how to do it.

the Roc's Talon

Wow. That is one big claw. You'd hate to imagine the bird this sucker came from.

the Scroll of Bokol

This scroll was penned by those who believe that life here began "out there", in the depths of space. It talks about the lost colonies of humanity that are supposed to live among the stars.

the Shankar Stones

these strange marked rocks come from India. They glow in a warm light when you bring them close together.

the Shard of Serafina

This tiny sliver of crystal must be it. It's a small shard of one of the Crystals of Serafina, magic gems owned by the famous genie. You can feel it pulsing with a warm and friendly eldritch energy, almost like it's happy you rescued it.

The Sumerian relics

Urns, pots and a couple of bronze weapons. While they don't have much overt mystical power, a properly trained and prepared wizard could use them for some very dangerous purposes.

the Superadigm Seed

Not to be confused with the illegal street drug Superadyne, the Superadigm Seed is a relic of a long-lost alien race known as the Keer-B that was brought to Earth by the Kheldians. It's an artificially constructed pocket universe where the seeds of super-powers and heroism were sewn, and then allowed to develop. Its inhabitants fight foir justice against the forces of evil, never knowing than their entire cosmos can fit in someone's pocket. It's thought that if the seed could be planted outside the boundaries of the universe, it could grow to a new universe of its own. In the meantime, numerous rogues have tried to get their hands on it.

the Tachyon Wave Motion Prototype

The tachyon wave motion prototype is a test model of a new engine design that could theoretically propel a space ship faster that the speed of light. Of course, it could also be turned into a dangerous weapon in the wrong hands.

the Tome of Hequat

The old leather-bound book contains numerous spells and incarnations, but nothing that makes sense. Maybe it's time hasn't come yet.

the Ultrascope!

The Ultrascope! was designed to see things otherwise impossible to view, such as strange energy fields and even the far reaches of space and time.

the Well of Eyes

This strange gem seems to reflect back the eyes of everyone who's ever looked into it. It's said that a properly trained mystic could use it to see what all of those other eyes have seen.

Zoria's magic wand

Baron Zoria was already a notorious occult villain around the turn of the century when he began to investigate the legends of the lost city of Oranbega. Whatever he found, he re-emerged at the head of a new cult known as the Circle of Thorns. Some say whatever dire secrets he found changed him forever. He used to use wands like this all the time in his occult crimes, and many seek his old cast-offs to improve their own powers.

Heists and Assaults Prevention

During this kind of missions, one of the numerous criminal groups of Paragon City will try to rob one of its banks, or some other establishment with plenty of cash and valuable items. The gang of attackers will be determined bu the overall level of the zone where the mission takes place in (example:a bank in Kings Row will be attacked by the Skulls, while one in Peregrine Island will be attacked by the carnival of Shadows. Arachnos seems to be an exception to this rule and may appear in a wide variety of levels). The most daring elements of these groups may also even assault a Police precint, usually to free one of their own! Be warned that not every robbery is what it seems to be at the first glance.
