Many people don't understand the work Vitaly is doing, but that doesn't mean it's not important.

• Olivia Chung

She knows all about what's going on in the immigrant community and has helped more than one hero sort out a jam involving the Vahzilok or the Outcasts. Olivia has her offices in Steel Canyon.

You won't meet many people as good-hearted as Olivia.

• Pavel Garnier

Agent Pavel Garnier from the FBI asked me to send you to him. He thinks you could help him with some of his cases involving the Vahzilok and the Outcasts. Pavel is currently looking into something in Skyway City.

A positive connection with the FBI is a very good thing to have.

• Maggie Greene

Maggie Greene is a class act and a good reporter. She'll do good by you. Her investigations have led her to focus on the Clockwork and the Trolls. Maggie files her reports in Skyway City.

Maggie has better instincts than almost anyone I know. Listen to her and you will have plenty of action.

I'd like you to meet Oswald Cuthbert. He's a probation officer and thus has a lot of contact with the sordid side of Paragon City. He often uses heroes like you to help him out with the Sky Raiders and the Council. Oswald can get you Training Enhancements.

Good choice, Character, and good hunting

I think you should talk to John Strobel from the Citizen Defense Coalition. It's a group of ex-military and law enforcement officers that helps heroes like you from time to time. Right now their attention is focused on the Sky Raiders and the Council. John has a few sources that can get him Training Enhancements.

John is very patriotic and somewhat idealistic, but he's got a keen eye for trouble.

Information

Police Detective

Paragon City is not known for attracting the best police officers in the world. With so many super-powered heroes breaking cases, it's tough for a good cop to make a real impression. Detective Karen Parker is an exception. She's got a first-rate investigative mind and has broken a number of high profile cases that even the best heroes couldn't solve. She attributes her successes to her lack of special powers, since it means she must rely on her wits. She has mixed feelings about the city's heroes. As a realist, she knows they're vital to the city's welfare, but she sometimes wishes they behaved a little more responsibly. Still, once a hero earns her respect, she has no qualms about working with him or her to solve crimes. For Karen, the most important thing is getting the criminals off the streets and making the case stick in court.

Prior to Introduction

I'm kind of busy here. I think Active Contact may need you.

Initial Contact

You may have heard that I am not too happy with some of the heroes in this town. That's true, but I base my judgments of people on their actions.

Greeting

• Got some rough ones for you.
• I want you to look into some things for me.

Too Busy

You've got a number of outstanding cases already.
