Part Two: One Opposed
Mission Briefing
I'd love to give you some long briefing here, Task Force Name, but to be honest, I've got nothing. We can end this right here, though, if we go rescue the city council from the Freakshow!
The location that Mr. Alderman gave me leads to an office building nearby!
If you hurry, we can rescue all of them and be on our way!
Great! I'm going to work on tracking down Clamor. Her mind is hard to read... there's just a ton of chaotic thoughts going around Independence Port right now that I can't pinpoint which one is hers. Maybe you'll luck out and she'll be there with the hostages!

Robert Alderman Cutscene
Ascendant Archon: You purposefully broke Clamor out of the Zig to destroy Terra Volta?
Robert Alderman: The taxpayers are paying too much to keep that artifact powered!
Robert Alderman: If it was gone, we could rebuild a better generator with one TENTH of the money!
Ascendant Archon: And now, Clamor has access to Terra Volta with an improved Council sonic wave generator.
Ascendant Archon: One that could destroy all of Paragon. Thanks to you, Mr. Alderman.
Ascendant Archon: The Center has ordered your immediate execution, followed by Clamor!

- Robert Alderman: Don't do this! I never wanted to cross the Council!
- Ascendant Archon: You should have realized that when you freed that woman from the Ziggurat, Mr. Alderman.
Combat Start:
- Robert Alderman: Task Force Name! Please! I'm sorry, for everything! Help!
- Ascendant Archon: This isn't your business. The Council will handle bringing Clamor in.
Upon Rescue:
- Robert Alderman: I'm sorry, for everything! The Freakshow took me here to meet with Clamor, I told you the location of the others to buy us some time.
- Robert Alderman: She left, saying she made a new sonic device, one that could destroy the entire city! I never wanted any of that!
- Robert Alderman: The Council showed up to take her down, but it's too late. She's already in Terra Volta, arming her device! You need to stop her!

Debriefing
Wow, you guys did an AWESOME JOB! Clamor is back in the Zig, where she belongs, and the guards that helped her escape are also in there with her.
Robert Alderman was also arrested for aiding a super villain in a city-wide destruction plot. I hear that's really serious.
I almost feel bad for him, I mean, he just wanted to help the people of the city, right? It's just to bad that he was so short-sighted that he thought that he could help everyone by using a psychopathic killer.
Task Force Name, you guys saved Paragon City, and I get the feeling that this isn't the first time you've done it. We all make a really good team, let's work together again in the future!
