Information

Aberrant Science Investigator

Tina Chung is the founder of Chung Investigations, a research facility that doubles as a private detective agency. She investigates all manner of unusual technology, though her primary interest is in technology used for criminal purposes. She employs a team of several dozen investigators, each an expert in a different field. Tina has recently been helping heroes investigate and prevent crimes that involve what she calls aberrant technology. She has opened up large investigations into the Freakshow and Nemesis, both of whom use technology in startlingly dangerous ways. She can be a little standoffish and arrogant, but once she comes to trust a person, she becomes a very helpful and resourceful ally.

Missions

Go to Portal Corporation and see what their scientists have come up with

Briefing

The techs over at Portal Corporation are working on a little project for me. I need to know whether these armies of Nemesis are under the control of the original arch-villain, and they think they know how to figure that out. The last time Nemesis was ever seen was just before the Rikti War. He fought Statesman and a number of other heroes, but when the fight reached Portal Corporation, he dashed into a portal that led to the Rikti home world. If they can trace his movements within that dimension, they may be able to determine if he has really come back. Can you get over to this Portal office and see what their scientists have come up with?

Thanks. I really need this information

Mission Objective(s)

• Go to Portal Corporation
  • 4 scientists to save

You defeated the villains and learned that one of the scientists has been kidnapped.

Note

Mission is a defeat all.

The scientist's story

One of the scientists you rescued told you:

'The Rikti made off with my friend, Dr. Cooke! He was the very best scientist we had, knew portal technology like the back of his hand. If you can't save him, no one can!'

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat all villains in sewer

You rescued Dr. Cooke and learned how to trace Nemesis.

Dr. Cooke's story

After you rescued him, Dr. Cook told you:

'The Rikti broke in just when I was about to run my trace. I didn't know how things would turn out, so I sent the instructions to another Portal Corp. lab. If you go there, you may be able to find out whether Nemesis really did manage to get back to our reality.'

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat raid leader & his men
  • 2 scientists to save

You saved the scientists and learned some interesting information.

The tracing of Nemesis

One of the scientists you rescued told you:

'We traced Nemesis through the portal network. He covered his tracks pretty well, but we've gained a lot of experience tracing trans-dimensional travel since the war. He never went to the Rikti home world. He slipped away to one dimension, then sent the heroes chasing him to another. Too bad for us, it was the Rikti's home dimension.

We weren't able to trace all of his movements through dimensions, but the signs strongly suggest that Nemesis could have returned.

Notable NPCs

• Lt. Creed (Nemesis)

Debriefing

Nemesis. I remember reading about him in history books; this guy has been wreaking havoc worldwide since the 1800's. This could be the deadliest threat Paragon City has ever faced. Thank goodness I have you to rely on.

Raid a Freakshow hideout and retrieve one of the new implants

Briefing

This has got to be the weirdest thing I've heard about the Freakshow all year. Apparently, some Freaks are trying to branch out into technomagic. This can't be good. One of my contacts, Josef Keller, heard a rumor that they're trying to magically enhance their implants. If they succeed, they could become even more dangerous. I need you to raid a Freakshow hideout and retrieve one of these 'technomagical' implants. Then take it to Josef; he can help us analyze the threat it poses.

If we let the Freakshow get any stronger, we may find that we'll soon be no match for them.

Mission Objective(s)

• Retrieve Freak technomagic
  • Locate Technomagic

You defeated the Freakshow and found a techno-magical cybernetic part.

Technomagic implant

This steel implant, designed to replace a large section of forearm, is inscribed with mystic runes.

Mission Objective(s)

• See Josef Keller

Briefing Josef Keller

Ah, yes. These magic runes are used in conjunction ceremonies, when two unlike objects must be united as one. I'm sure the Freaks are trying to enhance the union of their metal parts with their bodies, in order to combine the flexibility of muscle and the strength of steel.

I'm troubled, though, by what you say about that sacrifice. From your description, it sounds almost like a Circle of Thorns ceremony, though a poorly performed one. It seems impossible, but it could make sense of one strange report I've received that the Freakshow have been seen working with the Circle of Thorns. With those dread mystics to teach them, they could easily become ten times as dangerous with magical powers to enhance their considerable might.

I can tell you where the Freakshow and the Circle are rumored to be meeting. I suggest you work to stop them.

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat all Freaks, Circle

You defeated the Freakshow and the Circle of Thorns.

Notable NPCs

• Triz-Mez (Tank Smasher)

Debriefing

So, the Circle was teaching magic to the Freakshow, and giving them Spirit thorns? I've heard that those Spirit thorns can be used by the Circle to take over a body. Maybe that was their plan all along? Circle mystics running around in Freakshow bodies. That's a scary thought. I'm glad you were on top of things.

Mission name

Briefing

You won't believe what the Freakshow is up to now. They've got some contest running, to see which group of Freaks can torch the most buildings! If we don't put a stop to this, whole sections of the city could go up in flames. Get out there and put a stop to this Freakshow torching contest!

It's the Freaks' love of chaos that makes them so dangerous. That, and the cybernetics. And the guns. And their wanton disregard for life and property. Anyway, you'll need to ether defeat all the bad guys in each of these places or disarm their firebombs at each site.

Mission Objective(s)

• Stop Freaks' torching contest

You defeated the Freakshow and prevented them from torching the building.

Mission Objective(s)

• Stop the next torching

You stopped the second torching.

Mission Objective(s)

• Stop the last torching
  • 5 fire bombs remaining

You defeated the villains and put an end to the Freakshow torching contest.

Investigate the mysterious recruiting drive

Briefing

I got word of a big recruitment drive going on in an abandoned office today. Mid-level members from the Freakshow, Crey, and the Council have been invited, as well as representatives from a lot of other gangs. The thing is, I can't figure out who's doing the recruiting! Whoever they are, they're looking to make a big move soon, we can be sure of that. I need you to investigate the mysterious gang recruiting drive. The first step to stopping these new villains is finding out everything we can about them.

Whatever you do, don't let their ringleader escape. If he does, we'll have to consider this one a failure.

Thanks. The main objectives are to find out more about who is doing the recruiting and why. I suggest you look for any kind of propaganda or documents you can. You'll also need to find whoever the main recruiter is. All my contacts have on that is a name: Danforth.

Remember, you'll be facing a lot of villain groups, including the Freakshow and the Sky Raiders. Last time I checked, they didn't like you much.

Mission Objective(s)

• Look into villain recruiting drive
  • 2 clues to find, Don't let Danforth escape!

You defeated the villains and recovered some interesting recruiting materials.

Nemesis poster

This poster shows a soldier fitted out with high tech weaponry and armor. At the bottom are the words, 'Nemesis: the real heroes in town. Join up now.'

Nemesis pamphlet

This pamphlet outlines the goals of the Nemesis organization, which seem laudable if somewhat extreme. Their stated mission is to rid Paragon City of crime. They plan to do this by creating the greatest army the world has ever seen, thereby replacing the heroes termed 'hazards to the peace.'

Notable NPCs

• Archon Achen (Council Vortex Cor Leonis Archon)
• Lt. Danforth (Nemesis)

Enemies

Nemesis

Debriefing

This propaganda you found is pretty compelling; I can see why a lot of those young men were swayed by it. You're right, the references to heroes are quite troubling. It seems like these Nemesis folks are no friends of ours.

Rescue the Council base

Briefing

Believe it or not, I need you to rescue a Council base. There under attack by those strange soldiers who call themselves Nemesis. I need you to get the situation under control before innocent citizens get hurt.

Just don't expect the Council to be too grateful.

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat raid leader & his men

You defeated the villains and found some interesting information.

Council file

You found this file on a Council computer. It details the similarities between the current armies of Nemesis and those that plagued the U.S. During the 1940's and before. According to the file, both groups used similar tactics and weaponry. The evidence may not be conclusive, but it certainly seems likely that the long-forgotten arch-villain is working on a comeback.

Council orders

These orders define the primary mission for the Council base: to investigate the armies of Nemesis. The Council was working hard to determine whether these armies were run by the same arch-villain who called himself Nemesis in the 1940's. The order is signed by the Center himself.

Debriefing

It's hard to believe that the original Nemesis may still be around. He disappeared just before the Rikti War. If the Council's findings are ture, we better get ourselves prepared. The last time Nemesis decided to cause trouble, he nearly gassed half the country. I shudder to think what he'd do today.

Defeat Freakshow in Crey's Folly

Briefing

Crey's Folly is a nightmare. It's abandoned, polluted, and infested with Freakshow. Now, I don't expect you to be able to help with the pollution, but I think I can ask for your help with the Freakshow. Could you help out and fight the Freakshow in Crey's Folly? It's a dangerous place, though, so I suggest you go in force.

Mission Objective(s)

• Unknown, probably hunt Freakshow
