Alignment Mission

You overhear a couple of Freakshow thugs talking about a job their boss is pulling off.

You eavesdrop on a pair of Freakshow going on about their boss t3h lOOt3r3r's most recent exploits. Evidently he's teamed up with that wackjob Shock Treatment to take out an incredibly wealthy and influential psychologist, Dr. Elena Walker. You're not sure what their particular beef with this woman is, but you see an opportunity to make some quick cash.

Just two years ago this Dr. Elena Walker won several million dollars for a Nobel Peace Prize. If you swoop in there and play the 'hero' she'll likely be willing to part with some of that sweet cash.

HERO: Liberate Dr. Walker and some of her excess cash!

A nobel prize winning doctor, who was likely wealthy before the award, likely has quite a bit of financial resources. Rescuing her could be your biggest payday yet. That and it won't make you look all soft to your connections in the Isles. Sounds like a golden opportunity.

• Liberate Dr. Walker and some of her excess cash!

You hear this lady is loaded. She'll likely be very appreciative for a well timed rescue and pay you handsomely. Hero-for-hire. You like the sound of that.

Unnecessary Solicitation

It's only a matter of time before Shock Treatment kills Dr. Walker. You better hurry otherwise there will be no one to extort.

Mission Objective(s)

Loud techno music, check. Discarded Excelsior dispensers, check. The Freakshow are here. You only hope Shock Treatment hasn't taken out the doctor yet.

• Rescue Dr. Walker
  • Find Dr. Walker
  • Take out t3h l00t3r3r
  • Stop Shock Treatment

Shock Treatment's Parting Gift

Before Shock Treatment was whisked away by the medi-porter, she mentioned leaving potent explosives in the building. You've got to disarm them, quickly.

Freakshow dialogue

Before combat:

Mad Freak Gunner: It's kinda like Halloween, man.

Metal Smasher: I don't get it. Where's all the loot?

Mad Freak Gunner: You can't just take all the candy in the dish and come back later and expect there to be more.

Metal Smasher: What do you mean?

Combat start:

Mad Freak Gunner: Take a hike Character, there's hardly enough in here to make this job worth it.

Stunner Freak: We ain't sharing with the likes of you Character!

Dr. Elena Walker dialogue

Before Combat:

Dr. Elena Walker: Look, I've told you and your boss that you already cleaned me out.

B45h-0-m471c: You think we're here for more loot?

Combat start:

Dr. Elena Walker: Character? I'm not sure if I should be happy to see you or even more terrified.

B45h-0-m471c: Silly girl.

B45h-0-m471c: Shock Treatment paid us big time to deal with any hero troubles before she arrives.

Combat Finish:

Dr. Elena Walker: Please, let's talk. They're sending in that mad woman to kill me!

Dr. Elena Walker conversation

Speaking with Dr. Elena Walker

Character? Wait, you're not with these goons?

• No, I'm here to free you.

So, it's true what they say about you. You've turned over a new leaf, how does that make you feel?

• Spare me the psycho-babble, here's the thing. My services aren't free.

What? You want to charge me? People really never do change. Well I have some bad news for you then Character.

• There's bad news? Why is there always bad news?

This is the second time I've been robbed in the past week by The Looter and his cronies. I guess the Freakshow thought the first robbery was so fruitful they'd just rob me a second time. However, they were quite angry when they realized I had very little left after the first robbery. If there's anything of value remaining, the Freakshow boss The Looter has it.

• Well, that's just great.

Please. Character, you've got to help me. She'll kill me. It's only a matter of time until Shock Treatment shows up. She has this a horrible grudge against doctors. Please, I am begging you.

• ...(continue)

Look, I can't pay you. I can see that you want to do good. When I look into your eyes I can see that within you. Now's your chance to do something good, truly altruistic. In a matter of moments Shock Treatment will arrive and if you don't intervene, she'll kill me. Could you live with yourself if that happened?

• ...(continue)

Character, she's a killer. She hates doctors, it has something to do with her past. Rumor has it that a sick scientist tested the limits of human sanity through inflicting untold pain with elec--

• Fine, I'll help you, but spare me the history lesson alright?

Thank you Character. Thank you! I'll make sure Paragon recognizes you for the hero that you are.

• ...ugh, this just keeps getting better and better.

After defeating a player:

Shock Treatment: I hate it when my toys break before I'm done with them.

Debriefing

This was supposed to be a major payday. However, you were suckered into helping out someone in dire straights. Maybe this hero-for-hire thing won't work out quite like you planned. Despite not having recently acquired buckets of money, you feel pretty good about your decision.
