==Background==
==Background==
Galaxy City, once known as Paragon Heights, was one of the jewels of Paragon City.  Home to many breathtaking statues, tributes to fallen heroes, it was a starting point for many new heroes.  Its most prominent statue was that of [[Galaxy Girl]], the very hero it was named after.  Many young heroes aspired to follow the example of Galaxy Girl and the city's trainer, [[Back Alley Brawler]].
Galaxy City, once known as Paragon Heights, was one of the jewels of [[Paragon City]].  Formerly a home to an array of breathtaking statues, they stood as tributes dedicated to many fallen heroes.  


All of that ended with a viscous attack. Meteors carrying Shivans landed and completely devastated the area. Taking advantage of the situation, [[Lord Recluse]] and [[Arachnos]] entered the area, seeking to destroy Paragon City. Many new super-powered beings are caught in the crossfire, and had to help fend off the attack.  [[Vanguard]] has been called in to assist with the threat.
The city was renamed after the post-Rikti-restoration, in honor and remembrance of [[Galaxy Girl]], a.k.a. Kelly Graham, a favorite of Paragon Heights. A darling sweetheart to everyone who called the area home, and a kind and compassionate matron to her extended family, Kelly was a true daughter of the neighborhood. A proposal was put forward during the rebuilding to not only raise a tall monument to her, but to rename the area Galaxy City after one of their own. An impressive statue of Galaxy Girl was erected during the rebuilding, and it stood gracefully amidst the former city's skyline, holding up her hands to the clouds.


The district was formerly a hub for many heroes entering Paragon City, seeking aid and training from the famous [[Back Alley Brawler]] as they dealt with a local [[Hellions|Hellion]] problem. That comparatively peaceful time ended with a vicious attack, when meteors carrying Shivans landed and devastated the pristine city.  Taking advantage of the situation, [[Lord Recluse]] and [[Arachnos]] entered the area, seeking a way to take advantage in the chaotic aftermath.  [[Vanguard]] and The [[Freedom Corps]] have been called in to assist with the Shivan threat, and many new super-powered beings are caught in the crossfire.

These horrible things are an amalgamation of human corpses and some sort of weird sentient goo from the meteors crashing into Galaxy City.

Greetings, {{Character}}. I am '''Operative Kuzmin''', and I am here today as a representative of '''Arachnos'''.
 
Your ruthlessness has been recognized, and Arachnos would like the opportunity to help you grow in your power.
 
Already, there are forces at work here in Mercy Island who would seek to stop your... destiny, before it begins.
 
*{{green|What forces?}}
 
:'''Longbow'''. They have attacked Mercy Island and taken over our Fort Darwin. Now, they seek to spread their so-called 'law and order' and take over the rest of Mercy Island.
 
:Even now, there are Longbow soldiers inside of Mercy City itself, trying to bring down Arachnos, and, more importantly, super-powered beings such as ''yourself''.
 
:You see, then, the current scenario you are in. If something is not done, if we do not work together, then we risk Longbow taking over the rest of Mercy, sending us all back to their prisons in Paragon.
 
:*{{green|Longbow knows that I'm here?}}
 
:They do, and they are after you and every person ''like'' you at this very moment. It is no secret that the Rogue Isles is a breeding ground for... More unsavory types.
 
:Longbow seeks to stop this and enforce their own laws. But we will not let them do so in Mercy Island, {{Character}}. Let us push these red and white soldiers back to Paragon and make them know ''fear''.

:Hrmph, from my old family, perhaps. I do not care much for whatever he was doing, {{Character}}. When I joined Arachnos, I gave up on my old family.
 
:Arachnos is my family now. My life, my goals, are all shared with the goals of Arachnos. My old family was weak, this family is  strong.
 
:Now, let us get down to business regarding the forces here that seek to stop you.
 
:*{{green|Very well. Who is trying to stop me?}} (loops to {{green|What forces?}})
 
*{{green|Why should I accept? What is Arachnos?}}
 
:An excellent question. Arachnos is the organization that rules over the Rogue Isles.
 
:We are led by Lord Recluse. We protect the Rogue Isles and all the supers that inhabit it from those so-called 'do-gooders' in Paragon City. If you are in the Isles, you can rest assured that you are...  supposed to be protected from Longbow, an organization who claim to bring law and orders to all parts of the globe.

Overview

Once a small, sheltered district near the heart of Paragon City, Galaxy City has been devastated by a Shivan meteor attack. New super-powered beings are caught up in the action, and must choose what path to take once the dust settles.

Background

Galaxy City, once known as Paragon Heights, was one of the jewels of Paragon City. Formerly a home to an array of breathtaking statues, they stood as tributes dedicated to many fallen heroes.

The city was renamed after the post-Rikti-restoration, in honor and remembrance of Galaxy Girl, a.k.a. Kelly Graham, a favorite of Paragon Heights. A darling sweetheart to everyone who called the area home, and a kind and compassionate matron to her extended family, Kelly was a true daughter of the neighborhood. A proposal was put forward during the rebuilding to not only raise a tall monument to her, but to rename the area Galaxy City after one of their own. An impressive statue of Galaxy Girl was erected during the rebuilding, and it stood gracefully amidst the former city's skyline, holding up her hands to the clouds.

The district was formerly a hub for many heroes entering Paragon City, seeking aid and training from the famous Back Alley Brawler as they dealt with a local Hellion problem. That comparatively peaceful time ended with a vicious attack, when meteors carrying Shivans landed and devastated the pristine city. Taking advantage of the situation, Lord Recluse and Arachnos entered the area, seeking a way to take advantage in the chaotic aftermath. Vanguard and The Freedom Corps have been called in to assist with the Shivan threat, and many new super-powered beings are caught in the crossfire.

I'm not afraid, I know there's a good reason that I just happened to be in Galaxy today. Now, please, you have to get going!

Briefing

Hey... you're a hero, right? I could tell! This entire place is a war zone. I can't believe this is all happening!

This was my first day on the job, can you believe that? I wanted some excitement, but nothing like this!

Now... Er, you might want to stay away from me. I'm... sort of prone... to hurling....

The people of Atlas need you now. Once this is over, we'll - *CHHHHH*.


Briefing

Galaxy City is an absolute mess, Character. The Shivans, they seem to be getting more powerful by the minute.

Unfortunately, it appears Atlas Park has fallen prey to the chaos of this situation as well.

Myself and the rest of the Freedom Phalanx will do what we can to stabilize the situation here. You need to go help the people of Atlas Park!

  • Alright, I'll handle Atlas Park

  • Speak with the FBSA agent, Matthew Habashy

Briefing

Character, right? My name's Matthew Hobashy. I'm with the Federal Bureau of Super Powered Affairs, or the FBSA.

Are you OK from getting out of Galaxy City?

I just... barely got out myself.

  • Don't worry about me. What's the situation here?
Longbow and the Paragon Police Department have devoted all their resources toward containing the situation.
However... that's left Atlas Park nearly defenseless against other crimes.
  • What's the situation in Atlas?
Atlas Park has seen much better days, Character. All the refugees from Galaxy City are being sent here, either to find... loved ones that they lost, or for support.
However, with the majority of the police force fighting in Galaxy City, Atlas is ripe for the picking.
That's why the FBSA sent me down here, to work with heroes like you to try to take back Atlas Park. Are you ready?
  • Let's do this.
  • I am, but what are we doing to recover it?

Briefing

Sup? Name's Fire Wire. Crazy stuff going down here, huh? But you and me, we're survivors. We're the baddest of the bad! Arachnos is gonna make us BIG, you know?!

Heh, you might even say you and me got something in common now.

  • If you want to rely on Arachnos, be my guest.
Hrmph... I didn't mean it... whatever! I can handle myself, buzz off!
  • Hrmph. (Leave)
  • We don't have anything in common, now back off.
You think you're better than me?! Pah! You're just lucky I ain't gonna throw down with you here.
Me and my fire artifact are just fine knowin' that you and me got nothin' in common.
  • Whatever. (Leave)
  • You bet we're the best. See you back in the Isles.
Hah, yeah! Can't wait to get myself lifted over there, it's gonna be great, gonna be able to do whatever we want!
  • Sure will be. (Leave)
Briefing

The man in front of you seems to be studying one of the meteors.

Fascinating... these meteors are more advanced than the previous ones that crash landed in Bloody Bay.

This can lead to a new breakthrough in my research..

  • (Leave)
  • You're researching the meteors?
In a way, yes. The odd glowing substance in there could be used for... many purposes.
My name is Dr. Weber, perhaps when we all return to Mercy, you would be interested in helping me with my experiments?
  • Hrm, I suppose I could spare some time.
Excellent. When I have everything prepared, I shall contact you.
  • Sounds good. (Leave)
  • I'm not interested in doing someone else's dirty work, doctor.
Fair enough. We all have our own goals and agendas. Perhaps we will still meet again back in the pools of Mercy.
  • Maybe. (Leave)

Briefing

Galaxy has become a reflection of Paragon, Character; a mess that is becoming worse by the minute. These Shivans appear to become more powerful by the minute. It is interesting, I suppose.

Regardless, there is nothing more to be done here. We in Arachnos will help get you out of the city. Afterwards, all will be explained by Operative Kuzmin.

  • (Go to Mercy Island)

Get out of Galaxy City!

Mission Objective(s)

  • Get out of Galaxy City!
    • Take the Arachnos Flyer out of Galaxy City

You arrived in Mercy Island!

Speak with Operative Kuzmin

Briefing

Greetings, Character. I am Operative Kuzmin, and I am here today as a representative of Arachnos.

Your ruthlessness has been recognized, and Arachnos would like the opportunity to help you grow in your power.

Already, there are forces at work here in Mercy Island who would seek to stop your... destiny, before it begins.

  • What forces?
Longbow. They have attacked Mercy Island and taken over our Fort Darwin. Now, they seek to spread their so-called 'law and order' and take over the rest of Mercy Island.
Even now, there are Longbow soldiers inside of Mercy City itself, trying to bring down Arachnos, and, more importantly, super-powered beings such as yourself.
You see, then, the current scenario you are in. If something is not done, if we do not work together, then we risk Longbow taking over the rest of Mercy, sending us all back to their prisons in Paragon.
  • Longbow knows that I'm here?
They do, and they are after you and every person like you at this very moment. It is no secret that the Rogue Isles is a breeding ground for... More unsavory types.
Longbow seeks to stop this and enforce their own laws. But we will not let them do so in Mercy Island, Character. Let us push these red and white soldiers back to Paragon and make them know fear.
  • Let's do this. (closes window)
  • Kuzmin? I saw your brother, in Galaxy. (option only appears if you stole the Dead Warrior's wallet in Galaxy City.)
My brother?
Hrmph, from my old family, perhaps. I do not care much for whatever he was doing, Character. When I joined Arachnos, I gave up on my old family.
Arachnos is my family now. My life, my goals, are all shared with the goals of Arachnos. My old family was weak, this family is strong.
Now, let us get down to business regarding the forces here that seek to stop you.
  • Very well. Who is trying to stop me? (loops to What forces?)
  • Why should I accept? What is Arachnos?
An excellent question. Arachnos is the organization that rules over the Rogue Isles.
We are led by Lord Recluse. We protect the Rogue Isles and all the supers that inhabit it from those so-called 'do-gooders' in Paragon City. If you are in the Isles, you can rest assured that you are... supposed to be protected from Longbow, an organization who claim to bring law and orders to all parts of the globe.
  • Alright, and what forces are stopping you? (loops to What forces?)

Following this dialogue, Operative Kuzmin immediately offers his own story arc.
