I'm worried about the [[Tsoo]].  My sources tell me those power hungry gangsters have some big plan in the works, but nobody seems to know anything specific.  I think you should hit the streets of [[Talos Island]] and take down as many Tsoo as you can.  Maybe one of them will give us a clue about their next move.  When you're done clearing Talos, move on to [[Independence Port]].
 
'''Mission Acceptance'''
 
We're gonna need some solid stuff to go on, but I'm sure you can find it.
 
===== {{UL|Question Tsoo in Talos Island}} =====
'''Unnecessary Solicitation'''
 
The seers over at [[MAGI]] have alerted me to a potential problem with the Tsoo. There's a huge concentration of Tsoo ancestral spirits over in Talos Island, and their presence threatens to tear apart the mystical fabric of that zone. I need a hero who can get to Talos Island and cull the numbers of the Tsoo. Maybe we can keep Talos Island in one piece.
 
'''Mission Acceptance'''
 
Helen Point and New Sparta are hotbeds of Tsoo activity. I recommend starting near those neighborhoods.
 
{{Mission Objective|Entrance=|Primary=Question Tsoo in Talos Island|Secondary=Defeat 20 Tsoo|Additional=|Completion=You've defeated enough Tsoo in Talos Island.}}
 
{{Mission Clue|Name=Tsoo conversation|Text=One of the Tsoo you took down bragged:

===== {{UL|Grill Tsoo in Independence Port}} =====
'''Unnecessary Solicitation'''
 
We need hard evidence on what the Tsoo are up to.
 
{{Mission Objective|Entrance=|Primary=Grill Tsoo in Independence Port|Secondary=Defeat 15 Tsoo|Additional=|Completion=On the body of one of the fallen Tsoo, you found a tube containing several sets of blueprints.}}
 
{{Mission Clue|Name=Blueprints|Text=You found this tube on a Tsoo gangster.  It containing blueprints to five buildings in Paragon City.}}

I don't recognize any of the buildings in these blueprints that the Tsoo gangster was carrying.  We'll have to continue this line of investigation.
 
==== {{UL|Take the blueprints to Warren Trudeau}} ====
 
'''Briefing'''
 
I know this guy in the FBI, [[Warren Trudeau]].  He might be able to ID the buildings the [[Tsoo]] are interested in.  Take the blueprints over to Warren, won't you, {{Character}}?
 
'''Mission Acceptance'''
 
It's kinda scary how many blueprints are here. Looks like the Tsoo could be planning something big.
 
'''Unnecessary Solicitation'''
 
I called Warren to let him know you are coming. He's expecting those blueprints right away.

'''Debriefing'''
 
Thanks for getting those blueprints over to Warren.  I'm sure he'll be able to ID the buildings the Tsoo are interested in.
 
==== {{UL|Search the Tsoo base for the artifacts}} ====
 
'''Briefing'''
 
One of my sources called me with some disturbing news. It seems the [[Tsoo]] have amassed quite an impressive array of artifacts lately; it's the type of stuff the [[Outcasts]] and the [[Warriors]] go crazy over. {{Green|'''Can you go search this Tsoo base for the artifacts?'''}} Thanks, {{Character}}. I hear the leader of the base is called Copperhead. See if you can find out what he's plotting.
 
'''Mission Acceptance'''
 
[[Warren Trudeau|Warren]] hasn't yet been able to ID the buildings in those blueprints you found on the Tsoo. The minute I learn something, I'll let you know.
 
'''Unnecessary Solicitation'''
 
Have you been to that base yet? I want to know what the Tsoo are up to!

'''Debriefing'''
 
So there were no artifacts at that Tsoo base at all, just a trap for the Warriors?  Sorry I got you mixed up in this, but I think that your presence prevented the Tsoo from gaining further ground.  According to these documents you found, the Tsoo are trying to take down both the Warriors and the Family! {{Character}}, we could be looking at a major showdown.

[[Warren Trudeau]] just got back to me.  He's ID'd all the buildings in those blueprints you found on the [[Tsoo]].  Three of them are front companies for [[Family]] operations.  The other two are over on [[Talos Island]]. They're empty right now, which makes them perfect meeting places for the [[Warriors]].
 
It looks like the Tsoo are planning a major hit on both the Family and the Warriors. {{Character}},  get out there and stop the Tsoo from taking over all the gangs of [[Paragon City]]!

The Tsoo Coup (20-24)

Souvenir

Tsoo Dagger

You've kept this ancient Tsoo dagger as a reminder of the time you thwarted:

The Tsoo Coup

It all began when you took to the streets to battle the Tsoo of Independence Port and Talos Island. During these skirmishes, you learned that the Tsoo were planning a takeover of Paragon City. You also discovered a tube containing the blueprints to five buildings. You took the blueprints to Agent Warren Trudeau of the FBI, who promised he would identify the buildings for you.

Shortly afterwards, your contact got word of a large shipment of artifacts in the hands of the Tsoo. You went to recover these artifacts, only to find out that the rumors were nothing but a trap designed to snare some of the more powerful members of the Warriors.

When Agent Trudeau learned the identities of the buildings, you realized that three were Family front companies and two were probable Warriors' hangouts. The Tsoo attacked them all within hours, but quick action on your part prevented the Tsoo from annihilating their targets.

Furious at his failure to take over the gangs of Paragon City, Tub Ci ordered a hit on you, but no one has yet been bold enough to take the contract.

Hit the streets of Talos Island and take down as many Tsoo as you can

Briefing

I'm worried about the Tsoo, Character. My sources tell me those power hungry gangsters have some big plan in the works, but nobody seems to know anything specific.

When you're done clearing Talos, move on to Independence Port.
