==== The Sewer Network ====
Reconnaissance Officers are found in the following hero zones:
{{NPC Text|title=Sewer Network Reconnaissance Officer|text=
Hold your nose, my friend, because you just entered the [[Sewer Network|Sewers]]. I hope you didn't come alone because you're going to need some serious firepower down here. On the flip side, this is a great place to earn some street cred with your hero buddies. But, again, if you're not careful you could end up face-down in a stream of green sludge. <br />
Seriously, it happened to a friend of mine. It wasn't pretty. One last thing, mind the door over there, too, it leads to the [[Abandoned Sewer Network|Abandoned Sewers]] and they're not for the weak. <br />

==== The Hollows ====
{{NPC Text|title=Hollows Reconnaissance Officer|text=
You have arrived in [[The Hollows]], which is considered a [[Hazard Zone|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.<br />

'''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]].<br />
'''Hostiles Strength''': Levels 5 through 15 <br />
'''Suggested Squad Parameters''': 1 to 5-person teams <br />
'''Highlights''': <br />
*''"[[Minions of Igneous|Rock Men]]"''<br />

==== Perez Park ====
{{NPC Text|title=Perez Park Reconnaissance Officer|text=
This is [[Perez Park]] as evidenced by the conspicuous SWAT entrances you used to arrive here. The gangs you encounter here will be much larger, this is no place to be a lone wolf. Unless you enjoy taking trips to the hospital, get some friends because this ain't no walk in the park.<br />

'''History''': [[Perez Park]] was once an idyllic retreat from hectic city life and home to many areas where families would picnic or simply relax in the sun.

The [[Hellions]] and the [[Skulls]] have been involved in a gang war for years.<br />

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.<br />
