Zigursky Blueprints

These blueprints are what finally led you to Pandora's Box. For a while, it seemed as though everyone wanted their hands on the power of the gods. Who knows what terrible deeds they would have wrought, but thankfully, you were...

First to the Mill

You went to check in on Harvan's progress with the Antikythera, hoping that soon it would lead you and the Freedom Phalanx to the location of Pandora's Box. While you were visiting Fort Trident, however, an alert sounded in the base - Talos Island was under heavy assault!

At Citadel's behest, you took a portal to Talos Island, where you confronted Odysseus and Captain Castillo. Why they were working together, and what they were even in Talos for, remained a mystery to you. After you defeated their forces, Citadel arranged for the attackers to be shipped off to the Zig.

Shortly thereafter, Doctor Harvan came to you with a personal request. He wanted you to investigate an abandoned government office on the outskirts of Paragon City. His interest was in the fate of his late father, but what you found was cryptic information about a prison built in the 1950s.

When you returned to Harvan with your findings, it quickly became clear that something was missing from the picture... and that something, you deduced, was likely the very artifact you were looking for.

You immediately arranged to enter Zigursky, with Fusionette and Doctor Harvan in tow. Immediately upon entering the inmate area, you sensed that something was wrong - the guards were all missing. At that moment, you were ambushed by Odysseus, Castillo, and their followers. Luckily for you, the Antikythera prevented Zigursky's power-drain from affecting you, and you easily dispatched the inmates.

Underneath Zigursky, you found what you were looking for: Pandora's Box. However, proximity to Pandora's Box set off a reaction in Fusionette, causing her to go berserk and attack you. Seeing your fight with Fusionette, Harvan determined that the Box itself was causing her instability, and made to open it.

Unfortunately, rather than granting its power to those nearby, Pandora's Box exploded, releasing creatures of pure energy. You managed to fight them off long enough to allow the three of you to escape, but there's no telling where the energy from Pandora's Box has gone now.

Souvenir's Text (Villain)

These blueprints are what finally led you to Pandora's Box. It was a race against Arachnos, the Freedom Phalanx, and anyone else that wanted to get their hands on the power of the gods, and...

Devil Take the Hindmost

It began with a personal request from Doctor Harvan. He wanted you to investigate an abandoned government office on the outskirts of Paragon City. His interest was in the fate of his late father, but what you found was cryptic information about a prison built in the 1950s.

As you were about to leave, you encountered Captain Mako, who had been tasked with trailing your movements. You defeated Mako, and then made him an offer: he could play double agent for you, while maintaining his position inside Arachnos. Mako was noncommittal, but he seemed open to the idea.

When you returned to Harvan with your findings, it quickly became clear that something was missing from the picture... and that something, you deduced, was likely the very artifact you were looking for. When Lastri learned of your findings, she immediately set into motion a plan: attack Talos Island, simultaneously diverting enemy attention while giving your infamy a significantly more urgent quality. You wreaked some havoc and took down the Freedom Phalanx's newest member, Penelope Yin.

With your name in all of the papers in Paragon, it was a simple task to get admitted to the Zig. You turned yourself in to the Paragon Police Department, who immediately shipped you to exactly where you needed to be. Inside the Zig, your powers were marginalized, but you managed to get by on your wits. Odysseus created a distraction for you, and you nabbed the Antikythera from the prison guard's stash. With the Antikythera in hand, your powers were restored - and not a moment too soon, given that Harvan had led Citadel to your very location.

You took out a surprised Citadel and gave Harvan a piece of your mind, but you were eager to get to the task at hand. You blew a hole in the bottom of the Zig, exposing a path down to the abandoned labs below.

Underneath Zigursky, you found what you were looking for: Pandora's Box. However, proximity to Pandora's Box set off a reaction in Captain Castillo, causing him to go berserk and attack you. Seeing your fight with Castillo, Harvan determined that the Box itself was causing his instability, and made to open it.

Unfortunately, rather than granting its power to those nearby, Pandora's Box exploded, releasing creatures of pure energy. You managed to fight them off long enough to allow Lastri to swoop in and grant your escape.
