New Contact(s)

• Jose Escalante

You should introduce yourself to Jose Escalante, an important business man who helps heroes fight criminals who impact business and commerce, such as the Council and the Devouring Earth. He works mostly with mutants and has access to Focus and Genetic Alteration Enhancements.

Jose is the kind of person that has kept Paragon City running, despite all the disasters we've faced. We can all learn a lot from him.

• Merisel Valenzuela

Merisel Valenzuela is dedicated to freedom, especial freedom of information. She has many details on the Devouring Earth and the Council. She's very dedicated to her work with mutants and has access to Focus and Genetic Alteration enhancements.

Good luck with Merisel, I think you will find her point of view refreshing.

Information

Hero Corps Representative

Ashwin Lannister is rising quickly throught the ranks of Hero Corps, largely due to his experience during the Rikti War. As a military intelligence analyst, Ashwin helped coordinate the defense of Washington, D.C. He was also one of the handful of analysts allowed direct access to Rikti prisoners. Since joining Hero Corps, however, he's been assigned some of the lesser but still dangerous villain groups, like the Council. He finds them rather fascinating, and he's working hard to compile a fuller understanding of the group's beliefs and goals. With the help of the heroes he works with, he's having a fair degree of sucess.

Missions

Protect Senator Farnsworth from Council agents

Briefing

I hope you already had your good day, 'cause I am about to make it a lot worse. I was told to get word to you that the Council is planning to kidnap Senator Farnsworth and his entire staff. Farnsworth is giving a speech in Jannissey Heights today, and I'll bet good money the Council plans to strike there. You need you to get to Jannissey Heights right away to save Senator Farnsworth. You'll only have 90 minutes to save those people.

The clock is ticking on this one, so listen carefully. The Council will be after not just Senator Farnsworth, but all of his staff. You'll have to rescue every last volunteer. Saving them isn't the end of it though; you'll also need to defeat Archon Pascale, the operative in charge of the assassination. Otherwise, those people will never be safe.

Mission Objective(s)

Two dead security guards are a sure sign that the Council is already in the area.

• Stop Archon Pascale & his crew - 1:30 timed
  • 7 people to rescue

You rescued Senator Farnsworth and his staff

Notable NPCs

• Archon Pascale (Council Penumbra Cor Leonis Archon)
• Senator Farnsworth (Hostage) aka Congressman Hadley

NPC Dialogue

On rescue:

Senator Farnsworth: They told me they were going to brainwash me to do their bidding! Thank you, Character.
Campaign Volunteer: They said they were going to kidnap us all! I'm just an intern!
Campaign Volunteer: I hope I still have a job when all of this is over!
Staff member: Character, have you found Senator Farnsworth? Is he OK?
Staff member: I'm glad to see you, Character!

On aggro:

Archon Noble: You're in the wrong place at the wrong time, Rescuer.

Debriefing

Senator Farnsworth wanted to thank you for rescuing him, but the Secret Service wouldn't let him come in person. I can understand their caution. The Council has been known to brainwash politicians, then sit back like a bunch of sick puppet masters pulling their strings. It's a good thing you stopped them today.
