Filmed Announcement (40-50)
While looking at the data on the disc, something piques your interest.
On this disc is a filmed announcement by that little upstart Flambeaux. Having thrown away her misguided life of being Little Miss Goody-Two-Shoes, she seems to be having a hard time getting the respect she thinks she deserves amongst the truly elite of the Rogue Isles. She announces that she will burn a massive stockpile of school books and emergency supplies, intended for the downtrodden in Grandville, unless her demands are met. She demands that a camera crew from WSPDR is present to record the whole evening. She's doing this as a cry for attention! She's not after the money. She doesn't want to strike fear into everyone's hearts. Flambeaux and her crazy Freakshow allies just want to hold some worthless junk for ransom and end up on television.
You're sick and tired of this wannabe villainess trying to steal the limelight. You could go to her little party, bust it up and showher how a real villain operates.
Alternatively, you could stop this attention seeker's plan and steal those books and emergency suppliesand either sell them or give them to those who need them. It's really up to you.

Briefing
You're not sure how many stunts like this Flambeaux has tried to pull off, but you'll keep stopping them. Maybe she'll eventually get the hint taht everybody in the Rogue Isles is sick of her. Your plan is simple: give Flambeaux a thrashing she won't soon forget, burn those books and supplies, and eliminate anyone who dares get in your way.
- Show Flambeaux how a real villain operates!
It's going to be fun to watch Flambeaux's face as you burn the supplies and books she's holding for ransom. It's not like anyone cares about them anyway. The only people who could make any use out of the books and supplies are so far beneath your notice that it hardly even seems worth your time to burn them. However, the look of defeat on Flambeaux's face--as her little plan crumbles before her--will be worth it.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Flambeaux hasn't had her little plan crushed yet. You'll see to it that any hopes of her plan succeeding are thwarted.
Mission Objective(s)
The reverberating bass and repetative trance music tells you that Flambeaux is once again working with the Freakshow.
- Show Flambeaux How It's Done!
- 2 Emergency Supplies to destroy, 2 School Books to destroy, Defeat Flambeaux
- Destroy last set of Emergency Supplies
- Destroy last set of School Books
There were quite a few interested parties in that warehouse, but you made sure that Flambeaux's little plan fell apart.
You watched as shock and despair set into Flambeaux's face. You got a very satisfying feeling upon watching her little plan fall apart in front of her.
These crates once contained medical supplies and non-perishable food and they were Flambeaux's bargaining chip. Now they've been reduced to little more than dust.
You watched as these school books burned. Knowing they would never make it into the hands of someone wanting to arm themselves with knowledge and rise up against their oppressors brings some measure of satisfaction.

Debriefing
Today, Flambeaux had a taste of absolute defeat! She watched as you crushed her allies and destroyed the pathetic supplies she was holding for ransom. The look of despair on her face was all the reward you needed.
Rogue Acceptance
Briefing
What is Flambeaux thinking? Does she think this will actually end well? There might have been a time where you'd take pity on the girl, but that time has passed. This plan of hers is just really stupid... and you're going to show her the flaws in it and personally benefit from her foolishness.
- Defeat Flambeaux and steal the supplies.
Knowing Flambeaux, she didn't plan everything out completely. Thus, you're pretty sure that with all the attention she's gathering for herself, she won't notice you sneaking in and undoing her work. That is, until you go in and bring the fight to her. You know that these books and supplies are unlikely to be worth much, but there are probably some people who could use them.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Flambeaux needs to be taught to think her plans through a bit more. You plan to do just that.
Mission Objective(s)
The clanging of cybernetic limbs; check! Bad techno music: check! The Freakshow are here in force.
- Steal the Supplies
- 2 Sets of School Books to steal
- 2 boxes of Emergency Supplies to steal.
- Recruit Blast Furnace (Optional
- Defeat Flambeaux
You stopped Flambeaux's attention grab and stole the books and supplies she was threatening to burn.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Flambeaux (Paragon Heroes Boss)
- Blast Furnace (Rogues Gallery Ally)
- Fr4gt45t1c (Freakshow Tank)
In the Rogue Isles, books like these are fairly uncommon, which makes them valuable. You're pretty sure someone is working behind the scenes to make sure these books don't make it into the hands of the downtrodden, poorly educated masses.
These boxes of supplies will likely only be valuable to those in very dire circumstances. Fortunately (or unfortunately) these circumstances are quite common in the Rogue Isles.
Debriefing
You almost feel bad taking down Flambeaux...almost. She really needed to be taught a lesson. Now you need to figure out what you'll do with crates of books and supplies.
