None, Derek is an initial contact for new heroes entering Paragon City of Natural origin.

Contact Introduces

Single contact option: I wish to introduce you to a friend of mine. I believe you will serve each other well.

Level 5-9

Detective Jose Brogan

You should think about talking to Detective Jose Brogan. He's pretty intense, but he's a great cop and a good person to know if you are looking for information on the Lost. His beat is Atlas Park.

Detective Brogan will let you in on some interesting cases.

Vic Johansson

Vic Johansson's good police. He'll steer you towards some interesting opportunities involving the Lost, and help smooth things over with law enforcement. His beat is Kings Row.

Vic is good people, Character. You will enjoy working with him.

Rachel Torres

There's a detective who you should meet. Rachel Torres knows all about the happenings on the streets, and can probably give you good leads on the Lost. She can be located in Atlas Park.

Detective Torres is tough and efficient; you might learn a thing or two from her.

Information

Natural Hero Liaison

Derek Amberson was always a genius at the art of war. Tactics, strategy, swordplay; there was nothing in the marital arena he could not master. After taking an Olympic gold medal in fencing, Derek longed for work that would give him a different kind of reward. When he heard about the trouble in Paragon City, he immediately got on a bus, traveling all night to present himself at the ELITE offices the next morning. As liaison to new heroes with natural abilities, he is passing on his expertise to the next generation of heroes.

Wrong Origin Introduction

I'm afraid I haven't had the pleasure of your acquaintance. I believe you should be speaking to Active Contact.

Initial Contact

These are troubled times for Paragon City. I am glad to see heroes like yourself rising to the occasion, Character. I will do everything in my power to assist you in your quest.

Greeting

Once again the city cries out for heroes.
Will you help this city in her time of crisis?
Greetings, friend. Let us save the day.

Too Busy

Even a hero can only do so much. You should finish some of the tasks you already have.

Too Low Level

Sorry, but all my tasks require Security Level 4 or higher.

No More Missions

I have no more jobs that might interest you, Character. You should ask your other contacts.

Store

Mission Acceptance

Do whatever Rachel asks, then report back to me.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Mission Objective(s)

Check out abandoned office

Unnecessary Solicitation

You must do as Rachel Torres directed you. Go check out that office building.

Mission Objective(s)

You hear the sound of boots marching on concrete.

Check out abandoned office
- Locate Andre Iverson

You found Andre Iverson.

Andre Iverson conversation

Andre Iverson told you:
'I swear, I never meant to get involved with the Council! I was just writing an article on the Paragon City government, and I guess I asked too many questions about the wrong officials! One of their officers came to see me last night; he said I could join them or die!
They were planning to take me to a big training base right here in Atlas Park. There may be other people there who the Council recruited against their will!'

Find the Council's ciphers

This article or section contains information that no longer applies to the current version of Homecoming: City of Heroes/Villains. It is provided for historical purposes.

Defeat all Council soldiers

Briefing

Character, I've got a good tip for you. My sources have uncovered a critical link in the Council's communications network. It's a base full of cryptologists, whose only job is to develop and disseminate the ciphers that keep the Council's communications secret. If you could get your hands on those ciphers, we'd know a whole lot more about the Council's activities. What do you say?

Mission Acceptance

Once you've got the codes, take them over to Charlie Sparks. He's got a lot of connections; he can get the information disseminated quickly.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Those Council ciphers would mean a lot in the fight against them.

You move quickly and quietly through the lobby. You know the Council will be well-prepared.

You defeated the Council and found their secret codes.

Council file

You couldn't have done a better job. Those codes you found should help us figure out exactly what moves the Council will make next. Character, your actions today have doubtlessly saved lives.

Briefing

I got word from a supplier that the Council just got their hands on some serious artillery. I'm not talking about anything they could acquire commercially. I mean military weaponry, stuff they stole from the government. According to my source, they're storing the guns at a nearby warehouse. Someone's got to recover those stolen weapons and get them to Rachel Torres. With her government connections, she should be able to return the weapons to their proper place.

Thanks, Character. The police can get these weapons back where they belong. There may even be a medal in it for you!

Debriefing

Nicely done, Character. Rachel's made sure all her superiors know that you're a friend to the U.S. military. That could open some big doors for you.

Missions (Level 4+)

Talk to the Security Chief

Briefing

I need you to go talk with the Galaxy City Security Chief. He has information about the current situation here in Galaxy City. Your compass will guide you there.

Please listen carefully to the Security Chief. If he has a task for you, it will be very important.

The Security Chief just called again; he really needs your help!

Mission Objective(s)

Briefing

Here is a briefing sheet on the situation in Galaxy City. Now hit the streets and help out with the Hellions. You might try looking for them in the Equinox or Orion Beltway neighborhoods.

Galaxy City briefing

Galaxy City is named after the late Galaxy Girl, who fell during the Rikti War. Though she had few super powers and never gained much fame in the world at large, Galaxy Girl was one of Paragon City's favorites. She was a constant presence in the skies since her appearance in the 1950's. She worked tirelessly to improve the lives of her fellow citizens, not just by fighting evil, but also through her charity work. No doubt she would be proud to see a new generation of Heroes battling the Hellions, a street gang bent on claiming Galaxy City for their own.

Keep peace in Galaxy City
