Recruitment Flyer

You find what looks like a recruitment flyer for a paramilitary group.

'To all those who beg for scraps at the feet of the Council's high and mighty leaders - WAKE UP! There's a new order coming! No longer will we allow foreigners to make our laws. At our rally, watch as we make an example of one of these foreign spies! Show the world we're not taking it ANYMORE!'

Just last week, a foreign dignitary was kidnapped from her hotel room in broad daylight by paramilitary-types. It sounds as if she's going to meet a gruesome end at this rally if she's not saved in time! Rescuing her will not only save her life, but can also prevent a worldwide diplomatic fiasco! On the other hand, if you infiltrate them you might get access to their leader...and assassinate him before he causes any more political killings.

Hero Acceptance

Briefing

According to news reports, the foreign dignitary was in negotiations with the government to join forces as allies. If she's made into an example as the flyer insinuates, this incident could cause declarations of war to be issued. Not only will her death be tragic, it could cause the deaths of hundreds or even thousands of other innocent people! You must save her before this violent group makes their own declaration of war!

Rescue the Foreign Dignitary

Find your way to where they're holding the rally and save the dignitary. After you save the dignitary, see if you can find out who is organizing these events. Perhaps you can try to prevent something like this from happening again.

Unnecessary Solicitation

The dignitary's life is still in jeopardy, and you're the only one who can save her.

Mission Objective(s)

Find and rescue the dignitary before it's curtains for her.

Guest Speaker List

You've managed to compile a list of all the guest speakers intended to be here at the rally today. A variety of different names appear, mostly disaffected members of the Council. However, the final speaker is named as the rally organizer and was the one who would have executed the foreign dignitary. This man is only listed as - Maelstrom.

Foreign Dignitary dialogue

Before Combat:

Penumbra Elite Assault: It's a shame we can't just kill her.

Foreign Dignitary: Please... return me to my embassy and I assure you that my country will give you a full pardon!

Combat start:

Penumbra Elite Assault: Heads up! We've got hero trouble!

Foreign Dignitary: Oh! Character, please help!

Combat Finish:

Foreign Dignitary: Thank you, Character!

Foreign Dignitary: My country will assuredly remember you for rescuing me from these ignorant hoodlums.

Foreign Dignitary: Since you've cleared the way, I believe I can make it out from here.

Ambush! Collecting the Guest Speaker List will trigger an ambush from Maelstrom.

Maelstrom dialogue

Before combat:

Maelstrom: I was expecting a lapdog like you would show up, Character.

Maelstrom: You could have joined us.

Maelstrom: Instead this will be your endgame.

Combat start:

Maelstrom: It's a shame you won't be able to see the new world replacing this old one.

Maelstrom: You might as well stop fighting.

Maelstrom: You've got spirit, kid!

Maelstrom: Intelligence was wrong about you.

Defeated:

Maelstrom: Initiating routing protocols.

Maelstrom: I'll be seeing you around, Character.

Debriefing

You were able to save the foreign dignitary, thereby keeping good diplomatic relations between other countries and Paragon City. You truly are a hero in the eyes of Paragon City.

Vigilante Acceptance

Briefing

If the news reports were right about the foreign dignitary, then they're not going to execute her right away. You can use her as bait whilst you cause a commotion, hopefully drawing out the rally's organizer. If you act like you're a convert to their cause, they might even leave you alone long enough for their leader to show. Hopefully, if this works out, the dignitary won't even have to die!

Infiltrate the rally and cause a commotion!

Go to that rally and act as if you're on their side. Then look for some kind of security terminals they'll be using to monitor the events. If you can disable all of them, it might raise the suspicions on their leader. That's when you can assassinate him before he's responsible for any more needless murders. If the dignitary dies in the process, then his assassination is even more deserved, isn't it?

Unnecessary Solicitation

The rally is still going on. If you don't assassinate the leader of this group, then the foreign dignitary might be killed for no good reason!

Mission Objective(s)

Stir up this powder keg and you'll be sure to draw out the rally's organizer. Get to those Security Terminals.

• Infiltrate the Rally!
  • Talk to the Rally Guest Speaker
  • 3 Security Terminals Remaining
  • Assassinate the Rally's Organizer
  • Arrest the Guest Speaker

You successfully lured out the organizer, Maelstrom, but were unable to capture him. However, you've left a whole building filled with unconscious malcontents for the authorities to take care of.

Rally Guest Speaker conversation

Rally Guest Speaker

Speaking with Rally Guest Speaker

I'm going to give you five seconds to give me a good reason why I don't have everyone here rip you a hundred new holes in you body.

• I'm here to give my support to the rally.

You? Character? Join our cause? That'll be a cold day in hell.

• Touch the ground and you might feel a chill.

Hmmm... then what they're saying is true. You're not exactly the posterchild of the do-gooder any more, are you?

• I want to see this dignitary burn!

That's what we're all here for. Character - welcome to the new order! We'll start once the guy behind this rally gets here. In the meantime, feel free to grab a seat somewhere.

Council dialogue

Nebula Cor Leonis Marksman: If you're here for the rally, you better talk with our guest speaker.

---

Penumbra Elite Marksman: Who would have thought someone like Character would have been behind our cause?

Guest Rally Speaker dialogue

Rally Guest Speaker: I'm going to give you a few moments to explain why you're here, Character.

Ambush! Disabling all three security terminals will trigger an ambush from Maelstrom and turn all Council soldiers on the map hostile.

Maelstrom dialogue

Before combat:

Maelstrom: Which one of you worthless punks has been tampering with the security cameras?

Maelstrom: Well, well. It's Character.

Maelstrom: I'm quite sure you're not here to join our cause, no matter what these idiots may think.

Maelstrom: Listen up, all of you idiots! Character is the Enemy I've warned you about!

Penumbra Elite Marksman: You - you - you infiltrated us!

Rally Guest Speaker: I don't like being made a fool, Character!

Nebula Cor Leonis Marksman: I can't believe we let you just walk in here!

At 75% Life:

Maelstrom: What did you think you were going to do, Character?

Maelstrom: An assassination attempt?

Maelstrom: I didn't think you had in it you.

At 50% Life:

Maelstrom: You know, your skills are being wasted here.

Maelstrom: I know someone who could use your talents.

At 25% Life:

Maelstrom: You fight well, but there's no way you're going to get the upper hand.

Defeated:

Maelstrom: I haven't lived through all those tours of duty without having a little extra something to help me out.

Maelstrom: We'll finish this fight another day.

After defeating a player:

Maelstrom: You potential recruits are worthless, you know that?

Guest Rally Speaker dialogue

Before combat:

Rally Guest Speaker: I don't like being made a fool, Character!

Combat start:

Rally Guest Speaker: You think you're going to stop us?

Rally Guest Speaker: We're just the beginning!

Defeated:

Rally Guest Speaker: You haven't stopped us.

Rally Guest Speaker: He's coming and we'll be here to welcome him to his new home!

Debriefing

You attempted to apprehend the rally's organizer, Maelstrom, but he managed to escape by some technological gadget. The dignitary was able to escape on her own during the fight and came to no harm, but through no help by you. You're now being looked at with a suspicious eye by the people of Paragon City.
