Wil is going to be a great resource for you, Character.

There's an amazing guy named Tyler French who runs a youth sports program; it keeps troubled teens off the streets. He hears a lot and likes to help heroes out, especially with the Tsoo and the Warriors. Tyler has access to Training Enhancements.

I've been asked to introduce you to Lt. Gosford from the Paragon City Police Department. He runs a special unit that is focused on bringing down the Sky Raiders and the Council. Gosford's connections within the department give him access to Training Enhancements.

Gosford is used to working with heroes. You will get along fine.

Your actions will speak for you with Oliver.

Detective Jackson is a hardworking straight-shooter. He won't steer you wrong.

Lately she has been focusing her attention on the Sky Raiders and the Lost. Justine has access to Training Enhancements.

Justine is a very skilled young lady.

• Amanda Loomis

The INS has a woman named Amanda Loomis who works well with heroes. She is trying to keep the Tsoo situation from turning any uglier than it already has, and she also has a deep interest in the Warriors. Amanda should be able to get you Training Enhancements.

Amanda likes to use metaphors, but she understands the realities of Paragon City all too well.

• Andrea Mitchell

If you are looking for a partner to help you take down the Banished Pantheon, Andrea Mitchell would be a great choice. She is very dedicated and her connections are top notch. She also has a lot of interest in the Circle of Thorns. Andrea has access to Training Enhancements.

I have a good feeling about you and Andrea.

Do not dismiss Melanie's guidance lightly.

• Hinckley Rasmussen

I know a rather interesting fellow named Hinckley Rasmussen. He works as a researcher for the Midnight Squad and takes an interest in helping heroes like you fight the Tsoo and the Warriors. Hinckley has access to Training Enhancements.

He is a bit eccentric, but Hinckley knows his stuff.

• Cain Royce

Cain Royce is strongly committed to his crusade against the Banished Pantheon and the Circle of Thorns. You would do well to have him as an ally. Cain can get you Training Enhancements.

Paragon City's evil-doers will soon feel the weight of this choice.

Right now their attention is focused on the Sky Raiders and the Council. John has a few sources that can get him Training Enhancements.

John is very patriotic and somewhat idealistic, but he's got a keen eye for trouble.

• Kirsten Woods

I've been asked to keep this very quiet, but someone from the CIA wants to meet you. Her name is Kirsten Woods and she knows quite a bit about the Sky Raiders. She also thinks there may be more to the Lost than meets the eye. As a CIA operative, Agent Woods has access to Training Enhancements.

Keep a low profile when you are working with Kirsten.

Prior to Introduction

It is not yet our time. I believe you should seek Active Contact.

Initial Contact

Oh, my, it's nice of you to come by. Of course, I've been expecting you.

Greeting

• There is much to do, as always.
• We must now attend to our work.

Too Busy

You have far too many things to do, Character. I cannot add to your troubles.

No More Missions

Before introducing a higher-level contact

You must go elsewhere, for it is your time.

After introducing a higher-level contact

I believe one of your other contacts can guide you better than I.

Store

• Inspirations (Luck, Catch a Breath, Enrage)

My friend, you are as skilled as I expected. I've heard of a few charms that might help you in your adventures. And please, if you need my help, call.

• Inspirations (all)

I feel we have grown close in our work against the forces of darkness. I hope you will arm yourself with all the most powerful Enhancements in my store.

Badge Missions

Retrieve the stolen weapons from the Freakshow (20-24)

Merit Rewards: This activity awards 3 Reward Merits through Flashback only.

Briefing

There's been a great deal of chaos on the streets of the city, and a good deal of it has been started by a gang called the Freakshow. This highly factionalized group of nihilistic anarchists has become dangerous, fueled by a drug called Excelsior and their unwavering hatred of 'the system.' Their tenacity and wild abandon make them dangerous opponents. I just got a tip that the Freakshow have taken raided the Lockhart Aerotech weapons lab and made off with a mighty arsenal. Will you retrieve the stolen weapons from the Freakshow?

Mission Acceptance

The Freakshow aren't just thugs with guns. They're well armed, well equipped, and crazy. With all of the Excelsior in their systems, many Freaks can barely feel pain. What's more, lots of them have undergone radical cybernetic surgery to turn themselves into walking death machines. So this isn't going to be easy.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You need to get those stolen weapons back from the Freaks. We can't have them running around with Lockhart's weapons technology.

The Freakshow hideout

Mission Objective(s)

Scientific notes litter the floor, each one detailing advances that are now part of the Freakshow's arsenal.

• Defeat Freak leader, his crew
  • 6 weapons caches remaining

You have secured the weapons and defeated the Freakshow.

Enemies

Freakshow

Notable NPCs

• The PwNxx0rz! (Freakshow Tank Swiper)

The PwNxx0rz!

Before Combat: I love the small of clean weapons, ready to be used.
Combat Start: Character can not stop me!

Advanced weapons

These weapons are all highly advanced, some of them bordering on the exotic. You can only imagine how much havoc the Freakshow could have wrought with them.

Badge

The Pwnz badge is awarded upon mission completion.

Pwnz

You have arrested one of the higher-ranking members of the Freakshow.

Debriefing

You did everyone a big favor, Character. The Freakshow get most of their technology through theft, and I'm sure you'll agree they don't need to get any more dangerous. Here, you should take some of the weapons you confiscated. I'm sure you'll make better us of them than the Freaks would.

Temporary Power

After the mission debriefing, the hero will earn the Confiscated Beanbag temporary power.

Confiscated Beanbag

Auto: Ranged, Minor Damage (Smashing), Foe Disorient

You confiscated this weapon from a Freakshow base. It fires a single, non-lethal beanbag that can seriously disorient a target. You have 50 beanbags.

The Chameleon Suit (20-24)

Merit Rewards: This activity awards 1 Reward Merit through Flashback only.

Briefing

The Freakshow are always on the lookout for new technology they can put to use causing mayhem. Their leader, a man called Dreck, recently ordered the Freakshow to steal a holographic disguise suit that was in development over at the university. They got away with one of the two prototypes, but the second one was saved by a quick-thinking student. That's where you come in. I want you to infiltrate the Freakshow and recover the stolen Chameleon Suit.

Mission Acceptance

The Chameleon Suit only has a limited power supply. It should last about 15 minutes.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You have no time to waste on this one, Character. You need to act quickly to get that Chameleon Suit back.

Temporary Power

Upon entering this mission, a hero will receive the Chameleon Suit temporary power.

Chameleon Suit

Self Stealth

This suit can cause you to look like a member of the Freakshow without actually undergoing the hazardous cybernetic surgery. You can pass completely unnoticed by the Freakshow. However, if you take any aggressive actions, your cover will be blown, and the diguise will no longer be effective. Will not work with other self-targeted concealment related powers such as Stealth or Invisibility.

Mission Objective(s)

Nothing seems unusual to you about this sewer section, but you know that somewhere within lurks an army of dangerous Freaks.

• Recover stolen Chameleon Suit

You have recovered the stolen suit.

Enemies

Freakshow

Notable NPCs

• Trenton (Freakshow Tank Smasher)

Trenton

Before Combat: With this suit, City Hall won't know what hit 'em!
Combat Start: I don't want that suit leaving these tunnels!

Stolen Chameleon Suit

This version of the suit has been modified by the Freakshow to imitate specific members of the Paragon City government.

Badge

Completion of this mission awards the Chameleon badge.

Chameleon

You infiltrated the Freakshow and recovered the stolen Chameleon Suit.

Debriefing

If the Freakshow had used that disguise to infiltrate City Hall, I can't even imagine the chaos they could have caused. You have the city's gratitude, Character.

Story Arc

Merit Rewards: This activity awards 23 Reward Merits.

A Hand of Iron (20-24)

Souvenir

Iron Hand's Badge

Detective Jackson gave you Iron Hand's badge after you apprehended the disloyal agent. It's a constant reminder that life in Paragon City can be treacherous, even to hardened professionals.

A Hand of Iron

Your routine missions against the Freakshow were going well. Perhaps too well. Your contact informed you that your constant thwarting of Freakshow schemes had put an undercover cop in danger! The Freaks suspected they had a mole.

You hit the streets, defeating Freak after Freak in an attempt to divert suspicion from the mole. If you could only make your actions seem random, not directed, perhaps the Freaks would let their suspicions slide. In one battle, you recovered a list of names from a defeated Freak. You took the list to Det. Rondel Jackson, who was dismayed to learn that his officer's name was among those listed. It seemed the Freaks' suspicions might be on the money.

Det. Jackson asked you to rescue his agent, Iron Hand. After an intense battle with the Freaks, you learned that Iron Hand had indeed become one of them. His undercover persona had become his life.

Prevent Freakshow from making off with the electronics

Briefing

The Freakshow have broken into a warehouse full of electronic parts, which they no doubt plan to use for their cybernetic enhancements. If you get over there right now, you may be just in time to prevent the Freakshow from making off with the electronics.

Mission Acceptance

Our informants are the only thing keeping us in step with the Freakshow.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I need you to stop the Freakshow from getting their hands on those electronics.

Mission Objective(s)

Smashed bottles and bad techno music betray the presence of the Freakshow.

• Bust electronics thief, his crew

You have defeated the Freakshow.

Enemies

Freakshow

Debriefing

With my information and your skill, we will certainly shut the Freakshow down.

Patrol the area and prevent the Freakshow assaults

Briefing

The Freakshow have increased their activity in one of my patrol zones. It seems they're targeting specific business folk for assault. I need you to patrol the area and prevent the Freakshow assaults.

Mission Acceptance

This kind of activity hurts the economy of Paragon City, Character.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I need you on that patrol route, hero.

Mission Objective(s)

• Patrol Talos Island for Freaks

Note: This mission requires you to visit 5 locations scattered around Talos Island and click on the police call box there.

Debriefing

Thanks for stopping those Freakshow assaults, Character. If we let the Freaks intimidate Paragon City's business men, they may well achieve the anarchy they crave.

Hey, Character, I got a message from a friend of mine, Detective Rondel Jackson. Your recent Freakshow encounters have put one of his undercover agents in jeopardy. It seems the Freaks are beginning to suspect they have a mole, simply because you often happen to be at the right place at the right time.

Cull the numbers of the Freakshow

Briefing

We need to divert suspicion from that undercover agent who infiltrated the Freakshow. I want you to go cull the numbers of the Freakshow. If you start taking on Freaks at random, they may begin to realize that you don't have inside information about their activities.

Mission Acceptance

If this doesn't work, Det. Jackson may have a hard time pulling his man out of their.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I need you to take out more Freakshow minions. They're still suspicious of our agent.

Mission Objective(s)

• Divert suspicion from mole
  • Defeat 20 Freakshow

You found a list of names on one of the Freakshow you defeated.

Enemies

Freakshow

List of names

You recovered this list of names from the body of one of the Freakshow members you defeated.

Debriefing

One of the Freaks was carrying this list? Hmm. I don't recognize any of the names, but I'll ask Det. Jackson. Maybe the list has something to do with that undercover agent he placed among the Freakshow.

Take the list to Det. Rondel Jackson

Briefing

This list of names you found on the Freakshow may mean something to Det. Rondel Jackson. Would you take the list to Jackson? I need to hear his take on it.

Mission Acceptance

Hopefully, Jackson will be able to make some sense of those names.

Ambush! Upon acceptance of the mission, there will be an ambush by Freakshow.

Unnecessary Solicitation

We need another opinion on that list of names.

Mission Objective(s)

• Deliver list to Det. Jackson

Rondel Jackson

Debriefing

Hmm, it looks like the Freaks put together a list of possible moles in their operation. Wait a minute! This guy, that's our undercover cop! His code name is Iron Hand. Thanks, Character, I will try to pull him out of their right away.

Debriefing

So, the Freaks might be wise to that undercover agent? That doesn't sound good for this Iron Hand fellow. I'll see if there's anything else you can do to help.

Go talk to Det. Jackson

Briefing

You should go talk to Det. Jackson. He's concerned about Iron Hand, that undercover agent he placed with the Freakshow. It sounds like the agent's in danger, and Det. Jackson could really use your help.

Mission Acceptance

Thanks, Character. Please do anything Jackson asks of you.

Talk to Det. Jackson

Unnecessary Solicitation

Have you talked to Det. Jackson yet? I told him to expect you!

Mission Objective(s)

• Talk to Det. Jackson

Rondel Jackson

Briefing

Thanks for meeting with me. I haven't heard from Iron Hand all day, and he's not responding to his pager. His last known location was a Freakshow hideout. Please get over there and see if you can find any sign of him. If you learn anything, report back to me.

Defeat base leader and his crew

Unnecessary Solicitation

Have you located Iron Hand yet? Check out that hideout.

Mission Objective(s)

These sewers have been blocked off by piles of debris. It looks like the Freaks don't want to be found.

• Defeat base leader and his crew

After questioning the Freakshow gangers, you learn that Iron Hand has left the base. He's with a group of Freaks who are hell-bent on some secret objective.

Enemies

Freakshow

Notable NPCs

• Freezeek (Freakshow Tank Smasher)

Freezeek

Before Combat: I wish we could have gone along on that raid, sounded like fun.
Combat Start: Looks like we might get lucky after all!

Take info to Det. Jackson

Unnecessary Solicitation

You should talk with Det. Rondel Jackson.

Mission Objective(s)

• Take info to Det. Jackson

Rondel Jackson

Briefing

Iron Hand's with that group? Oh, man. Word on the street is that they're going to assault a Council base. I need you to head over there and get Iron Hand to safety.

Rescue Iron Hand

Unnecessary Solicitation

You need to locate Iron Hand! He could be in serious trouble!

Mission Objective(s)

The sounds of battle ring out from the base. In this melee, it won't be easy to get Iron Hand out unscathed.

• Rescue Iron Hand

You have defeated the Freakshow and apprehended Iron Hand.

Editor's Note:

The mission requires the defeat of all Freakshow and Council in Iron Hand's room.

Enemies

Freakshow

Notable NPCs

• Iron Hand (Freakshow Tank Swiper)

Minion Battle

Before Combat

Council Minion: You pests have made a serious mistake.

Freakshow Minion: Did anyone ever tell you those uniforms make you look like mama's boys?

Combat Start

Council Minion: No one can defy the Council and live!

Freakshow Minion: Hey! This is our party!

Iron Hand

Before Combat: Ha, those cops still think I work for them! How stupid can they be?
Combat Start: I'll never go back to the life of law! I am Freakshow now!

Debriefing

Det. Jackson wanted me to pass this on to you. He said that Iron Hand was deep undercover for a while, but they never thought they'd lose him like that. It happens every once in a while, most frequently with the Freakshow. Their hedonistic lifestyle makes it easy for them to ferret out agents, and even easier for the agents to succumb to their self-indulgent ways. Jackson wanted to extend his thanks to you for your help, and your discretion.

Here, take Iron Hand's police badge. He won't be needing it, now that he's joined the Freakshow. And you should have a reminder of the price we all pay to make this city safe.

Missions

Take the fight back to the Freakshow (20-24)

Briefing

Every faction of the Freakshow follows the word of one man, the leader they call Dreck. Dreck's latest edict is for the Freakshow to take every possible opportunity to defeat the city's heroes and prove that they have the power to rule the city. The city's heroes will just have to take the fight right back to them. I've heard that the Freaks are particularly active in Talos Island and Independence Port, but they'll most likely confront you anywhere you go.

Mission Acceptance

The Freakshow can be tenacious, but I think you've got what it takes to beat them.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I'm not sure the Freakshow have gotten your message yet. Maybe you should take down a couple more.

Mission Objective(s)

• Combat Freakshow menace
  • Defeat 20 Freakshow

You have discouraged the Freaks from challenging heroes.

Enemies

Freakshow

Debriefing

I understand that Dreck has stepped back from his latest edict to the Freakshow. He hasn't mentioned you by name, but I think he was a little alarmed by the way you stepped up to the challenge.

Head off the Freaks' violence (20-24)

Briefing

There are rumors around that the Freakshow is planning something in Talos Island to protest the capture of Upstart, one of their faction leaders. So far, they don't seem to have any plans, but if the number of Freaks reaches a critical mass, they won't need a plan to set the whole zone on fire. It would be a good thing if you could head off the Freaks' violence. I've heard that a lot of them are congregating near New Thebes and Argo Highway, but you can probably find Freakshow all over.

Mission Acceptance

As I mentioned, the Freaks don't seem to have a plan, yet, so there's still time. A few public defeats by heroes such as yourself should cool them down.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I'm still worried that the Freaks may try something big in Talos Island. Get over there, Character.

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat Freakshow in Talos Island
  • Defeat 20 Freakshow

You have prevented an outbreak of violence from the Freakshow.

Enemies

Freakshow

Debriefing

You've reminded the Freakshow that the city's protectors are watching. The people of Paragon City owe you again.

Stop the destruction (20-25)

Briefing

I just got a call from the Paragon City Museum of Art and Antiquities. It seems the Freakshow just stormed into one of their storage warehouses, and they're busting up everything in sight. I need you to get over there and stop them from destroying those items. Can you do it?

The Freaks have been there for a while, so I don't expect you to save everything inside. But if you can't save at least one important item, we'll have to consider this mission a failure.

Mission Acceptance

I don't know what the Freakshow's aim is here. Proceed with caution.

Unnecessary Solicitation

That museum warehouse is still under attack by the Freakshow.

Mission Objective(s)

You hear a voice yell out, 'When was the Ming Dynasty, anyway?'

• Defeat all Freaks, save any item
  • 3 items in jeopardy

You have saved some of the art from the Freakshow.

Enemies

Freakshow

Ambush Waves

Freakshow Minion: Gonna smash!

Notable NPCs

• Display Case x3

Debriefing

You saved a lot of important items from the Freakshow, Character. You should be proud. As for the Freakshow's aim, well, I guess they didn't have one, apart from rampant destruction. That's how the Freaks entertain themselves. It's too bad it's the rest of society that pays the price.

Make it clear that the Freaks don't belong anywhere near the reactor (22-24)

Briefing

The Terra Volta reactor powers the force fields that keep the civilized parts of the city safe, so it's become quite a target for extermist groups like the Freakshow. I need you to get over to Terra Volta and make it clear that the Freaks don't belong anywhere near that reactor. Reactor technicians have reported seeing Freakshow near the Challenger Technology Complex and the Raysun Petroleum facility. Maybe you should start in one of those areas.

Mission Acceptance

Terra Volta's pretty scary these days. I'd recommend taking some allies with you.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Terra Volta is on the brink of chaos, Character. The city is depending on you.

Mission Objective(s)

• Combat Freakshow in Terra Volta
  • Defeat 20 Freakshow

You have discouraged the Freakshow from meddling with the reactor.

Enemies

Freakshow

Debriefing

It's heroes like you who keep Terra Volta running. You've done good work today, Character.

Show the Family that extortion isn't welcome (22-24)

Briefing

I've been hearing a lot of complaints about the Family lately. It seems those thugs think they can bully any business owner in town. I want you to hit the streets and show the Family that extortion isn't welcome in this town.

Mission Acceptance

The Family has controlled the businesses in Independence Port for some time. I'd suggest starting your sweep around there.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I'm still hearing reports of high pressure tactics from the Family. I need you to show them the error of their ways.

Mission Objective(s)

• Combat Family menace
  • Defeat 20 Family

You have discouraged the Family from bullying the business owners of Paragon City.

Enemies

The Family

Debriefing

The Family may think they run things in this town, but they are sorely mistaken. Thanks for making that clear.

Investigate the warehouse and destroy any Superadine you find (22-25)

Briefing

We have an opportunity to strike a powerful blow against the Family, but you'll have to act quickly. We have traced a significant portion of their Superadine operation through a warehouse in Independence Port. I need you to investigate that warehouse and destroy any Superadine you find. We think they may be aware of our surveillance. You only have 75 minutes to investigate the warehouse.

Mission Acceptance

This could be big, Character. We've been trying for years to get evidence on the Family's drug dealing.

Unnecessary Solicitation

We need to know if the Family is really moving Superadine out of that warehouse. If we miss this opportunity, we will regret it.

Mission Objective(s)

An acrid chemical smell pervades this area.

• Investigate Family warehouse (Timed, 75 minutes)
  • 4 Drugs, 2 Labs, 5 Chemicals, Evidence

You have destroyed the Family's Superadine lab.

Enemies

The Family

Family Patrol

Before Combat

Family Minion 1: Georgie just called. He thinks some punk hero may have been tipped off.

Family Minion 2: Don't worry. We can stand up to any hero.

Combat Start

Family Minion 1: You're cruisin' for a bruisin'!

Family Minion 2: You're history, pal!

You found records of the Family's connection to this warehouse.

Family files

These files prove conclusively that the Superadine lab you destroyed was owned and operated by ranking Family members. This evidence, along with your testimony, should be enough to put these evildoers in jail.

Debriefing

That was a Herculean effort, Character. Shutting down that warehouse will put a huge dent in the Family's Superadine operation.

Stop the Tsoo attacks on the Family (22-25)

Briefing

I hear the Tsoo are planning to attack a couple of key Family front business today. I need you to get over to Independence Port and stop the Tsoo attacks on the Family. We can't let innocent people get caught up in this gang war.

Mission Acceptance

Just don't expect the Family to be grateful for your intervention.

Bust gang leaders, their crews (1st Warehouse)

Unnecessary Solicitation

You're needed at those offices, Character.

Mission Objective(s)

The lock has been forced, and the door hangs dizzily on one hinge.

• Bust gang leaders, their crews
  • Locate the office manager, 4 bombs to disarm

You defeated the Tsoo and the Family.

Enemies

Go to Independence Port and stop the Family protests (22-25)

Briefing

I guess you've heard that a Family captain, Johnnie Two Shoes, is being tried tomorrow for murder and conspiracy? Well, I can assure you the thugs over in Independence Port are aware of it! They've been protesting by wreaking havoc on city property. Someone's got to get over to Independence Port and stop the Family protests. Can you do it?

Talos Island needs your help, Character!

Security Chief (Talos Island)

Briefing

I need you to confront the Tsoo and the Warriors. Here are some basics about the area. If I were you, I'd look for the Tsoo in Helen Point or New Sparta. New Thebes and New Troy are typical Warrior hangouts.

Talos Island briefing

During the 1950's, the titanic hero Talos fought to save the city from a horrid beast called the Chimera. Talos wrestled the protean creature into the deepest waters of the bay, and their struggles somehow set off a volcano in the waters. Talos was killed, and the island created by the lava flow was named after him. Recently, a couple of gangs have been squaring off for Talos Island turf: the Warriors and the Tsoo. The Warriors have a fixation with gladiators; they carry swords and are often superb soldiers. The Tsoo seem to be a gang with some magical might behind them.

Security Chief (In­de­pend­ence Port)

Briefing

Here's some information on the area. We've been having a lot of trouble with the Family, especially in Crey Cove and Bell Point. I really need you to lend a hand.

Independence Port briefing

This is where many brave heroes defended the city against an invading space armada back in the 50's. Paragon City renamed the area Independence Port, in honor of the heroes who died in that epic battle. You'll see the big statue of Cassiopeia by the bridge; she was one of the famous heroes who died in that fight. It's a shame that organized crime runs the docks nowadays. The Family pulls all the strings here, despite the best efforts of law enforcement.
