I've just heard that the Vahzilok are attacking some offices! Apparently they're just slaughtering everyone. You need to stop the Vahzilok slaughter right away. Make certain you examine the area for any clues they might have left.

Hurry! Lives are at stake.

The Vahzilok have turned this office into a charnel made house.

Reaper: Meat!
Reaper: Attack!

Hostage rescued dialogue

Helpless office worker: I have to get out of here!!

Debriefing

That badge you found on the dead man is from the Paragon City Water Department. What do the Vahzilok want with a PC Water employee?

Investigate the chemical hijacking

Briefing

You did a great job stopping the Vahzilok slaughter at that office building, and I think I can trust you with another big job. A couple of days ago a truck carrying a variety of dangerous chemicals was hijacked. There was no sign of the parties responsible, but the truck was just sighted pulling into a warehouse. Do you think you could investigate the chemical hijacking for me? Take a look around, but we'll handle the chemical cleanup once you secure the warehouse.

Make certain to be careful with those chemicals.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You have not secured that warehouse yet. We need to recover the stolen chemicals!

Mission Objective(s)

The hijacked truck is outside, and it's already been unloaded. This is definitely the place.

• Defeat hijacker and his guards
  • Investigate hijacking

You have defeated the hijackers and found a clue to their motives.

Shipping manifest

This shipping manifest lists the contents of a chemical shipment hijacked by the Vahzilok.

Skulls dialogue

Gravedigger 1: What are we gonna do about those walking corpses?
Gravedigger 2: I dunno, but they must have something good in there, and I want to find out what it is!

(aggroed)

Gravedigger 2: Oh, great! Talk about a rock and hard place!

Debriefing

Good job. I'll look over this shipping manifest you found. I'm sure we recovered most of the hijacked chemicals, but it could be that the Vahzilok managed to make off with something.

I've got another problem I'm hoping you can solve.

Rescue the physicians from the Vahzilok

Briefing

Vahzilok's zombies attacked a conference over at the hospital a few hours ago and kidnapped several of the attending physicians. One of the hostages managed to get a call out on his cell phone. I need you to rescue those physicians from the Vahzilok. I have grave fears about this. The office raid, the chemical hijacking, and now this attack on The hospital. It's clear that the Vahzilok are up to no good.

Make certain none of the hostages are harmed.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You haven't rescued those doctors from the Vahzilok.

Mission Objective(s)

Notes from the conference are scattered here and there, marked by the dark, odorous footprints of the undead.

• Rescue the physicians
  • 3 hostages remaining

Physician conversation

One of the doctors you rescued told you:

'You know, people warned me about this city when I came here for the conference, but I never believed them. Thank you for saving me! I have to tell you, I think they were after me in particular. They kept asking me about the new drug I've been testing; it reduces the likelihood of the body rejecting an organ transplant. I hope this information helps.

Notable NPCs

• 3 Hostages (Hostages)

Enemies

Vahzilok

Hostage rescued dialogue

Hostage: Thank you so much.
Hostage: I can tell you what they were after!

Debriefing

I think I've figured this out. If I'm right, we're in real trouble.

Ok, let's add it all up. The man who died during the Vahzilok's office attack was a Paragon City Water Department employee. And there were some key chemicals missing from the hijacked shipment you recovered from the Vahzilok. I couldn't figure out what they were for, until you told me about the doctor you rescued. He was working on an experimental drug to prevent tissue rejection, right? Well, these missing chemicals are just what the Vahzilok need to manufacture that drug. You know what I think?

Combat the Vahzilok rampage

Briefing

Based on the clues you've recovered, I'll bet the Vahzilok are trying to dose the Paragon City water supply with an experimental drug. I think it will lower our resistance to implants, making it easier for Vahzilok to turn any Paragon citizen into a zombie! I heard that one of Vahzilok's lieutenants called Slaughter ordered an increase in their attacks. I think he's trying to obscure their true motives. I need you to combat the Vahzilok rampage. See if you can pick up any more information.

Look in Perez Park or Kings Row for Vahzilok.

Ambush!

After accepting the mission you will be ambushed by a wave of Vahzilok zombies

Unnecessary Solicitation

You haven't made enough of an effort to slow down the Vahzilok rampage.

Mission Objective(s)

• Combat the Vahzilok rampage
  • Defeat 10 Vahzilok

You found a tattered map.

Enemies

Vahzilok

Tattered map

This map is worn, but it looks like it might show a portion of the Paragon City sewers. It will require expert analysis.

Debriefing

One of the Vahzilok dropped this map? Looks like it might show part of the sewer system. If I'm right, and the Vahzilok are trying to drug the water supply, you may have just found the clue we need to turn their plan on ear.

We need to have this map examined by an expert.

Take the map to the city representative

Briefing

I'll bet anything this map you found has something to do with the Vahzilok's plan to drug the water supply. I need you to take the map to the city representative. She can tell us exactly what part of the sewer it references.

Watch your back. The Vahzilok may be aware you found this.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You really need to get that map to the city representative.

Mission Objective(s)

• Take map to city representative

City Representative

Debriefing

Hmm, yes, you took this map off a Vahzilok you say? I'll get this to someone in the city planner's office at once.

Debriefing

I'm glad you're back. I just heard from the city planner's office. That map marks the location of the purification system. I'm right, I know I am! The Vahzilok plan to drug all of Paragon City's water!

I think the purifiers would eliminate this drug, so Slaughter must plan to bypass them in order to introduce the drug to the system.

Stop Trepanator from drugging the water

Briefing

According to the city planner, this map you found marks the location of the water purification system over in Kings Row. If Trepanator manages to introduce his drug to the water there, it'll be bad news for everyone with a faucet. You've got to stop Trepanator from drugging the water. If you hurry, lives can still be saved.

The Vahzilok will have their drug stored at several strategic positions. You need to destroy it before they can release it into the water system.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You haven't stopped the Vahzilok from drugging the water supply? It may be too late by now!

Sewer map

This sewer map marks the location of the water purification system. It is there that the Vahzilok will try to introduce their drug to the city's water supply.

Vahzilok drugs

Mission Objective(s)

Right now, families are washing dishes and bathing children, unaware that you are the only thing standing between their water and the Vahzilok's strange drug.

• Stop Slaughter and crew
  • 3 drug barrels to destroy

You have stopped the Vahzilok plan to poison the city.

Notable NPCs

• Butcher/Gangrene/Slaughter/Trepanator (Vahzilok Luminous Eidolon)
• Vahzilok Drugs x3 (Object)

Notes

• The name of the vahzilok varies. Possible names include, Butcher, Gangrene, Slaughter, and Trepanator.

Enemies

Vahzilok

Vahzilok patrol dialogue

Embalmed Cadaver: We will spread our touch throughout this city!
Reaper: No one must interfere!

Vahzilok Drugs Guards dialogue

Before combat: Soon, all will obey Vahzilok!
Combat start: You will not stop us!

Mission Boss dialogue

Before combat:
Combat start: You will pay for your attempts to meddle in Vahzilok affairs!

Debriefing

You destroyed those chemicals just in time!

Well, we stopped them. If I'm right, that Vahzilok drug would have impaired the immune system of every person in this city. It would have been easier for Vahzilok to transform people into zombies, since his victims would have a much lower chance of rejecting the tissue grafts.

It also would have made us less likely to fight off infections and viruses. Before long,the hospital wards would be full of people dying from flu or the common cold! Thank you so much; yo've done this city a great service.
