Information

Advisor

Mr. G was known to be an enigmatic man within the government of Praetoria. However, the collapse of Praetoria caused the plans within plans that he had to fall apart. His true identity as Doppelganger was revealed, along with his plans to create a clone army.

Now, he is in the Rogue Isles, seeking to help villains with their own plots in the hopes of building back up a base of power in Primal Earth.

From the Inside Information mission

Ah... you have no idea how good it feels to... well... not be dying, yes, not dying.

In my short time back, very short, I've done some digging around, and I do believe I've found some information that can be of use to you. Shall we begin, Character?

• Let's get to work.

Criminals of War

Merit Rewards: This activity awards 5 Reward Merits.

Souvenir

Transmuter's Watch

Transmuter gave you his favorite watch in appreciation for breaking him free of the Vanguard prison. It reminds you of an experience you call...

Criminals of War

You and Mr. G had a plan - free several prisoners of war that Vanguard had captured, then make the prisoners work for you.

You helped a former Vanguard general out of a bind and gained his aid in gaining access to the Vanguard prison.

You then assaulted the Vanguard prison, freeing Transmuter, Splice, Bobcat, and Subjugator 5.

Before you could do anything with them, Wu Yin announced a bounty on your head, knowing that you had freed all of these prisoners.

It would appear Wu Yin desperately wants you put down - you'll just have to show him what you and your new team can actually do.

Criminals of War

I shall lay out the scenario for you, Character. Vanguard has captured several people who are war criminals. There are some very... big names on that list, namely Praetor Duncan and Emperor Cole, very big names. Both will be going on trial for their crimes. It's all very... old fashioned, if you ask me. Now, I would suggest that you do not bother with them; Cole would never work with you, and Duncan is too much of a little manipulator to trust, quite the manipulator.

Instead, I suggest we break out those who would be in your debt and be quite easy to control. I have it on good authority that Bobcat, Transmuter, and Splice were all captured.

Bobcat is a drama queen, but she... can be a good combatant. Transmuter has experience from the Hamidon wars, and if his powers could be returned to him, he would be a valuable ally. Splice is technological mastermind and has the moral compass of a brick, just like a brick.

We would all make quite a good team to aid you, quite a good team.

• Alright. I need a way to recover all of them.

Yes, exactly, I have done some research and have recovered just what you need. Vanguard is keeping these prisoners in one of their secure locations, much more secure than they have previously, due to some... issues with someone breaking out a prisoner. We would need someone on the inside, someone who knows where their prisoners are located.

There is a man, his name is General Alito. He was a member of Vanguard who went rogue during their Rikti operation. He's broken out of their custody and is now on the run in St. Martial. Quite coincidental, almost providential.

If you can assist him, I'm sure you could persuade the man to help you in your plan.

Here is his last known location. There are a few Vanguard who have been ordered to pursue Alito, the others are acting as guards. You'll have to take out the pursuers and ensure that they have nothing that can directly track Alito. I will be available, should you need any more advice.

Recover General K. Alito

Unnecessary Solicitation

Vanguard will have the building he is in surrounded, but I don't believe that will prove to be a problem for you, Character.

Mission Objective(s)

File:Map IOM STMARTIAL SHOWDOWN.png

Map: IOM_STMARTIAL_SHOWDOWN

It might be unwise to go against Vanguard, but you could certainly use an entire team working beneath you. The first step is recovering General Alito.

• Recover General K. Alito
  • 3 Vanguard Pursuers to defeat
  • Access the Vanguard Computer
  • 2 Vanguard HVAS to defeat
  • Defeat the Vanguard Commander
  • Defeat the Vanguard Reinforcements
  • Get to the roof to support the General
  • Speak to the General

General Alito has agreed to give you assistance!

Vanguard Pursuer Dialogue

Before Combat:

Vanguard Pursuer: Spread out, we need to cover any exits.

Combat Start:

Vanguard Pursuer: Character? What are you doing here?

---

Before Combat:

Vanguard Pursuer: They've got the roof covered. Alito can't get away, he has too much sensitive information.

Combat Start:

Vanguard Pursuer: We've got a confirmation on Character's presence. He / She is taking hostile actions!

---

Before Combat:

Vanguard Pursuer: I don't like this. The Rogue Isles are teeming with villains, we could be ambushed at any second.

Combat Start:

Vanguard Pursuer: We're supposed to be allies, Character! Don't make us do this!

Vanguard Computer

Briefing

You access Vanguard's remote computer and tap into one of the cameras on the roof. You see General Alito and some of his loyalists are cornered by several Vanguard soldiers and their heavy assault suits.

You could wait until the groups fight each other, then swoop in and clean up the mess, or you could jump in before the fighting begins to aid Alito and his men.

Aiding Alito before the fighting begins will be very difficult, especially if you're going to do it alone.

• (Go up and help Alito)

• (Wait for the fight to be over)

General Alito

Briefing

Character, I am in your debt for your help. There would've been a day where I would have attacked you, but now my allies are in short supply.

You must want me for something, otherwise you would have just attacked me by now.

• (Explain the situation to Alito)

That is something I could easily help you with. If I know Vanguard, they will have brought the prisoners to one of their sea bases over in the pacific.

It's well guarded from unknown air or submarine access. You'll need to commandeer a Vanguard helicopter in order to get there. If you can get me a helicopter and the codes to pilot it, I can fly you straight to the base. I'll use some old authorization codes to get us a landing permit to the base.

From what I can tell, Vanguard should have a helicopter somewhere in St. Martial; the pursuers who were after me were talking about tracking down some IDF who are holed up in a Rikti base.

• Alright, Alito, you've got a deal.

Steal a Vanguard Helicopter

Unnecessary Solicitation

Ah, stealing a helicopter? Quite brilliant. I would expect nothing less from the leader of the renegade Vanguard.

Mission Objective(s)

File:Map IOM STMARTIAL VANGUARD HELICOPTER.png

Map: IOM_STMARTIAL_VANGUARD_HELICOPTER

You arrive at the area that Alito told you about. You can hear the sound of a Vanguard helicopter nearby, ready to take off at a moment's notice.

• Steal a Vanguard Helicopter
  • 4 Vanguard groups to defeat
  • Speak with Commander Anders
  • Speak with the Vanguard Pilot

You've got the codes for the Vanguard helicopter!

Vanguard Dialogue

Before Combat:

Vanguard Corporal: We saved the Rogue Isles once, but I still wonder if that was the right call.

Combat Start:

Vanguard Corporal: Villain incoming, it's Character!

---

Before Combat:

Vanguard Corporal: This place is crawling with chaos. How does it not collapse in on itself?

Combat Start:

Vanguard Corporal: Character. You should not cross the Vanguard!

If you previously completed the story arc from Dean MacArthur, this pops up after you enter the door to "Speak with Commander Anders":

Vanguard Dialogue

Before Combat:

Vanguard Ranger: Why would they fight? Emperor Cole is defeated, why do they continue?

Vanguard Ranger: That's all they know. They have to serve someone, I suppose.

Combat Start:

Vanguard Ranger: Take down Character!

---

Before Combat:

Vanguard Ranger: They could still fight alongside us. They were all given the opportunity!

Vanguard Ranger: Sometimes an idea can make people ignorant of reality. Something to think on.

---

Before Combat:

Vanguard Ranger: Do we have a status on Darrin Wade?

Vanguard Ranger: Still nothing, his mind is a tough one to crack, it seems.

Combat Start:

Vanguard Ranger: You're done, Character!

Commander Anders

Briefing

You... what is it that you want from me? You're not here with Vanguard to try to bring us in, or else you'd have done it already.

My men and I are just trying to establish a new base here while waiting for orders from the others who escaped.

• I'm not going to bother with words! (Attack!)

+++ Missing Information +++

• I'm here to make you an offer, to join my team.

No, Character, I serve Praetoria, I serve Emperor Cole, even in his moment of darkness!

I would never betray the oath that I have sworn.

• Alright, then we'll do this the hard way! (Attack!)

+++ Missing Information +++

• Fair enough. I want the Vanguard operative in your custody.

This selection loops to another branch of this conversation which is already documented.

• I'm here for the Vanguard operative that you have

We need the operative for leverage, Character. Then again... if you're here, it must mean you've taken out the Vanguard topside. Very well, I'll make you a deal.

We'll hand the operative over to you on the condition that you help free one of our own, Commander Gerard, from the Vanguard prison he is being held in. I must warn you, however. If you make this deal and break it, we will track you down. Our vengeance will be swift and powerful.

You can always promise to help the IDF out and just simply not rescue the commander. Perhaps it would even be better. The people in the Isles need to know you're not one to be crossed!

• Alright, I'll recover your commander from the Vanguard.

Excellent. You can find the operative in the back. Take what you need from him. We'll be expecting Commander Gerard back in our custody soon, Character.

• You have my word.

• No deal, I'm taking the operative! (Attack!)

+++ Missing Information +++

Commander Anders

Briefing

Characters of Praetorian origin may have the following exchange:

Character. I remember you quite well. You were one of those power-hungry freaks from Praetoria, always trying to do everything for yourself. Weren't you the one to defeat the first Olympian Guard clone?

I have no respect for you, so if you want anything, you can just forget about it. Leave now, and perhaps we won't kill you.

• That was an unwise choice, Commander. (Attack!)

IDF Support

You agreed to help the IDF by rescuing Commander Gerard from Vanguard custody. You could always go back on your word, but it would mean dealing with the IDF down the line.

Vanguard Operative

Briefing

You use your unique abilities to extract the codes that General Alito needs to pilot the Vanguard helicopter. Now that you have the codes, you don't necessarily need this man any longer.

• (Kill the operative)

+++ Missing Information +++

• (Leave him for the IDF)

Attack Vanguard's Prison Base

Unnecessary Solicitation

This is the time to enact the plan, Character!

If you talked to Dean MacArthur between missions:

Dean MacArthur

Briefing

YO! Character! What up! It's been a while, man / my beautiful flower! I bet you're wondering, 'Dean, what is someone so cool like you doing calling me out of the blue?'

Wonder no more! So, check it. I dunno who it is, but some guy has been keeping tabs on your movements. I think he's got a plan to go after you.

Now, you and me, we're like, thick and thin, right? I mean, we are bros, right? / I mean, you could cut the romantic tension between us with a knife! So I'm thinkin' this.

I'll keep an ear to the ground, try to see if someone is gonna mess with you. If I find anything out, I'll let you know, 'cause that's what a guy like D-Mac does!

• ... Right, thanks Dean.

Dean MacArthur's Oath

Dean MacArthur swore that he would help you out and keep an eye out on this mysterious man who seems to be tracking your movements.

Mission Objective(s)

Vanguard Dialogue

Before Combat:

Vanguard Ranger: Do we have any information on Wu Yin and the Syndicate?

Vanguard Ranger: Gaussian sent out a report that the Yin family went to the Rogue Isles.

---

Before Combat:

Vanguard Ranger: That Transmuter guy is a joke! Why do we have him imprisoned here?

Vanguard Ranger: I read his file. He was a powerhouse, back in the day, fought in the Hamidon Wars. If he got his powers back, we'd be in trouble.

---

Before Combat:

Vanguard Ranger: Didn't Splice help with the attack on BAF?

Vanguard Ranger: She did, but she has to answer for all her other crimes.

---

Before Combat:

Vanguard Ranger: Do we know where Battle Maiden is?

Vanguard Ranger: No idea. All we know is that we had a Malta mole in Vanguard.

---

Before Combat:

Vanguard Ranger: How worried should we be about Bobcat? I saw the reports of her in Neutropolis.

Vanguard Ranger: If we get her angry? Very worried. But as long as she's calm, we have nothing to worry about.

---

Before Combat:

Vanguard Ranger: Why did we just let the Praetorian Yins go to the Rogue Isles? We could use their help in Paragon.

Vanguard Ranger: Word is that Wu Yin and Penelope want to clean up the mess in the Isles.

Commander Gerard Dialogue

Before Combat:

Vanguard Colonel: You fought for Cole, Gerard. There was only one way for this to end.

Commander Gerard: ...

Combat Start:

Commander Gerard: Character? Get me out of here!

Vanguard Colonel: What are you doing here, Character?

Commander Gerard Saved

You stayed true to your word and saved Commander Gerard. This should keep the remaining IDF from breathing down your back.

Transmuter Dialogue

Before Combat:

Vanguard Colonel: ... Here I thought some of our villains were bad.

Transmuter: Do you know who I am? I am the TRANSMUTER! I cannot be caged!

Combat Start:

Vanguard Colonel: Speaking of villains... Character!

Transmuter: Aha! Character! Just... ah... just as I planned!

Upon Rescue:

Transmuter: A helicopter? Great! Look, there's something else you should know. There's a VERY interesting prisoner in here!

Codename Subjugator 5

Transmuter told you that Vanguard has a powerful Subjugator deep within the prison. The Subjugators were failed seer experiments who had sickly growths shooting from their heads. Normally, they're incredibly powerful and insane. However, Subjugator 5 is different. She is able to control herself, to an extent, and is also powerful.

Perhaps if you could free her from Vanguard you could gain yet another member of your team.

Bobcat Dialogue

Before Combat:

Bobcat: Sigh... Can't you spruce this place up? I really don't like being here.

Vanguard Colonel: This is a prison, not a hotel.

Combat Start:

Bobcat: Oh, look, a predator to come tear you all down!

Vanguard Colonel: Take care of Character!

Upon Rescue:

Bobcat: A team? I could go for that. As long as you don't betray me like... -Berry-!

Praetor Barry's Fate

Bobcat explained to you what happened to Praetor Berry, AKA Neuron, AKA Bobcat's ex-boyfriend. Berry and Bobcat were teleported to safety after Vanguard's attack on Neutropolis.

The two hid in the Neutropolis until Emperor Cole was defeated and Hamidon attacked.

Berry tried to use Bobcat as bait for the Hamidon while he got away, but Bobcat saw through Berry's plan. In a fit of passionate rage, Bobcat killed Praetor Berry, then was captured by the Vanguard. The scientists in Vanguard used some sort of serum to prevent Bobcat from flying into a rage, leaving her to be nothing more than a socialite.

Splice Dialogue

Before Combat:

Splice: I suppose this is what I get for sticking my neck out for people. Typical.

Vanguard Colonel: You may have helped in our efforts, but you need to pay for your crimes, Splice.

Combat Start:

Splice: Well, this is surprising.

Vanguard Colonel: You won't get away with this, Character!

Upon Rescue:

Splice: I help orchestrate a mass slaughter with Clockwork and they label you a war criminal. Typical. I'm with you now, Character.

Vanguard HVAS Dialogue

Before Combat:

Vanguard HVAS: Intruder detected. Activating battle mode.

Combat Start:

Vanguard HVAS: Character sighted. All safeties off.

Subjugator 5 Dialogue

Before Combat:

Subjugator 5: Concerns... fears... uncertainty... floating all around...

Vanguard Colonel: Keep your minds clear, she can still read them, even with the dampeners!

Combat Start:

Subjugator 5: Violence has arrived. You cannot stop it. None of you could stop it.

Vanguard Colonel: Get command on the line, we've got a severe breach!

Upon Rescue:

Subjugator 5: I am aware of you, I could sense you when you stepped inside. I shall aid you in your endeavors, if only to root out the disturbances I sense.

Arrange your first meeting

Unnecessary Solicitation

Let's have our first meeting, Character.

Mr. G (Primal Earth)

Briefing

Shall we get started, Character?

• (Enter mission)

Mission Objective(s)

File:Map MRG HIDEOUT.png

Map: MRG_HIDEOUT

All of your allies have been gathered. Now, it's time to form your first plan and utilize your resources...

• Arrange your first meeting
  • Speak with Mr. G
  • Speak with Mr. G about Wu Yin

Wu Yin has put a bounty out for you!

Mr. G (Primal Earth)

Briefing

Ah, Character. As you can see, everyone has been gathered. It's a shame that Bobcat can no longer be an able fighter, but she will do well to help find you information. She will have to, at least. The catgirl has become far too lazy to be a capable fighter. I will, of course, look into ways of fixing that.

We're still in control of Vanguard's helicopter; this will allow us to do whatever we wish in the future.

• Excellent. Now, on to our first plan...

There are several paths that I would suggest we take with our plans. Subjugator 5, of course, is a major asset. The power stored within that... thing could be devastating, when directed at the right target. I believe it's just a matter of finding who to go after first with it.

• You're my information man. Get me a list of targets.

Bobcat

Briefing

Hey! There's something on the communicator here. They're talking about us. I knew it was a good idea to hang around all of you!

• What? (Look at the communicator)

  Wu Yin: Hello, citizens of the Rogue Isles. My name is Wu Yin.
Wu Yin: I am broadcasting this message to you all to put forth a bounty.
Wu Yin: Character is currently housing Praetorian criminals.
Wu Yin: Whoever brings me Character, alive, will be given twenty million dollars. -Only- if he / she is alive.
Wu Yin: Be careful, as Character has -

Wu Yin: What?! Who is interrupting this?
Dean MacArthur: The ONE, the ONLY, Dean MacArthur! D-Mac, to the ladies.
Dean MacArthur: Now, Character and I are old friends, wartime chums! / the kind with romantic tension! You mess with him / her, you mess with the Macster!
Dean MacArthur: Anyone out there thinking about claiming this bounty should just walk away, 'cause Character will take you down!
Dean MacArthur: And then he's / she's gonna come after you, Yin-boy, and you ain't gonna be able to handle that perfect storm!

Mr. G (Primal Earth)

Briefing

It seems you have more friends than I knew of, Character. This Dean MacArthur proved useful in stopping Wu Yin from revealing more about us.

Myself and the others will work on a proper plan of attack for you. We should have something together in very little time, and we will be able to provide you the support necessary to stomp out Mr. Yin.

• Good to hear, Mr. G

Badge

Upon completing this mission, you are awarded the War Criminal Badge.

War Criminal

You worked together with Mr. G to break out several criminals of war from Vanguard custody.

Debriefing

Transmuter and Bobcat have come up with a proposal of how we can deal with this current scenario, Character.

I believe it's quite brilliant myself. You'll see that having the group of us around is going to be very helpful to your cause. Our next steps will show that quite nicely... quite nicely.

Sweeps Week: Character vs. the Rogue Isles

Merit Rewards: This activity awards 5 Reward Merits.

Souvenir

WSPDR Rating Award

You received an unofficial reward for giving WSPDR its highest rating in quite some time. In fact, a few people gave the series an interesting name:

Sweeps Week: You vs. the Rogue Isles

Wu Yin had just put a huge bounty out on you. Every super powered individual in the Rogue Isle was eager to cash in on it. You kidnapped a film crew from WSPDR and got to work on beating down every single person who went after you - on live television!

Only the toughest villains came after you, namely the Carnival of Shadows and the Family. You took them down as well, then found where Tub Ci and Wu Yin were staying in St. Martial.

You took down Tub Ci and discovered a surprising fact - the Awakened from Praetoria were somehow working with Wu Yin! You defeated the Awakened, but Wu Yin and Penelope Yin were nowhere to be found.

The bounty on your head is officially gone, and the people of the Rogue Isles know that you aren't one to be crossed. You'll just need to track down the Yin family and show them just how dangerous you are.

Part One: The News Team You Can Trust

Briefing

Everyone in the Rogue Isles with a dream of rising above the muck is going to be gunning for us, Character, everyone. So if you have any reservations about my loyalties, rest assured, we're in this together.

Transmuter had a very interesting proposal, one that was spurred on by a small comment by Bobcat. The catgirl suggested that you just, 'make a TV show about you beating up everyone'.

That was when Transmuter had an idea. What if you were to somehow publically show what you were doing to everyone that tried to bring you down? You could use it to deter people from going after you.

The idea has some merit; you could kidnap some reporters from WSPDR and use them to record your attacks. In the meantime, Splice could look into finding out the location of Wu Yin and Tub Ci to help stop this entire mess. General Alito will take point on dealing with the small fries, while Bobcat, Transmuter, and Mr. G split up and find out ahead of time who is planning to go after you.

• (Explain the plan to Mr. G)

That sounds like a very sound plan, Character. We shall all get to work. In the meantime, since Alito will be gone, I will pilot the Vanguard helicopter.

I believe your first destination will be Cap au Diable to 'retrieve' some reporters. Subjugator 5 will teleport them back to a secure location.

We have the helicopter hidden in a small hanger within the warehouse when you are ready.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Shall we get moving, Character?

Before Combat:

Camera Man: Haven't you like, heard of something called freedom of the press? We helped you it in the Rikti War!

Crab Spider Slicer: We're just ensuring you air the -proper- coverage for the events of Dark Astoria.

Combat Start:

Camera Man: Wait, I take it all back, stay here and fight Character!

Crab Spider Slicer: Don't let Character through!

Upon Capture:

Camera Man: ... I'm being kidnapped, aren't I?

Crab Spider Slicer: We're here to keep order and to make sure you're not pulling any stunts.

Combat Start:

Senior Sound Director: Just leave us alone!

Crab Spider Slicer: Take care of Character!

Upon Capture:

Senior Sound Director: Please, don't hurt me! ... You want me for sound? Alright, fine, I'll do it!

Arachnos Dialogue

Before Combat:

Tarantula: Are we invading Kallisti Wharf? I heard the plans.

Fortunata: I know we're doing something with it. Too much technology there for Recluse to ignore it.

---

Before Combat:

Mu Striker: What's the status on the other Praetorian technology? We could use a boost here.

Fortunata: We've been told that Lord Recluse is personally working on something, but we're not sure what.

---

Before Combat:

Tarantula: What are we doing about the coverage for Dark Astoria?

Mu Striker: We're playing up the role of Arachnos in it, maybe giving some extra credit to Scirocco.

---

Before Combat:

Mu Striker: Have you heard? About Scirocco?

Mu Striker: I heard he recovered some weird item during his time in Dark Astoria. Could have something to do with Ghost Widow.

Amanda Vines Dialogue

Before Combat:

Amanda Vines: You can't silence the press!

Combat Start:

Amanda Vines: ... Oh, great.

Crab Spider Slicer: Ensure Ms. Vines does not get harmed, take down Character!

Upon Capture:

It doesn't look like Amanda Vines is too eager to come along!

Amanda Vines: Thanks for getting rid of Arachnos, Character, but you have to be out of your mind if I think I'm going to spread YOUR propaganda!

Amanda Vines: I didn't get into this job to do something like THIS!

Amanda Vines: ... Great.

John Houston: John Houston here, former reporter for TPN, new reporter to WSPDR!

John Houston: See, Amanda, the key to this scenario is to know when to grab a good story!

John Houston: And Character, there's a good story here! You've got yourself a reporter, let's get going!

Brickstown Coverage

You recovered a document from Amanda Vines detailing the formation of a group in Brickstown. They call themselves them the, 'New Praetorians'.

Amanda Vines is doing some investigating as to who exactly is part of the team, but she does know that they have made an oath to help protect Brickstown from chaos. It seems there was some big disaster in Brickstown that they helped settle. Now, they're out to prove themselves as a new supergroup in Paragon.

Debriefing

Perfect work as always, Character. It's perhaps much better that you were able to retrieve Mr. Houston than Ms. Vines. Houston is very... enthusiastic about his job, which will make you look all the better during your beatings.

We need mass coverage on this, including Paragon City. Splice will handle coverage in the Isles. I believe I have a proposal for what you can do regarding Pargon City.

Part Two: Good Television

Briefing

Some people are going to tune in, Character, but we need all of the Isles to tune in, and maybe even some of Paragon. Hrm, in fact, perhaps it would be best if most of Paragon tuned in.

In addition to being a former master assassin, I am also an expert in public relations, quite an expert. People already fear you; that's known. However, your name needs to be fresh in people's minds for us to start this.

I propose an attack that would grab people's attention.

Amanda Vines had dropped the first draft of a report regarding a new supergroup in Brickstown. They call themselves the New Praetorians. You figure that an attack on Brickstown would cause enough mayhem to get their attention. You could rob the bank, beat down the PPD, and take out the New Praetorians. All of that should be plenty to get enough attention for your future attacks on anyone trying to cash in on the bounty on your head.

• Prepare the helicopter, Mr. G. We're going to Brickstown.

Brickstown, Character?

Ah... I see, the New Praetorians. I'm afraid I don't have much information on these New Praetorians, so there's no telling who exactly will show up or how difficult this fight will be.

The camera crew will be recording everything, and you will have Mr. Houston providing... commentary.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Let's be on our way, Character.

Mission Objective(s)

Map: V_MAYHEM_BRICKSTOWN

Your Vanguard helicopter lands easily in Brickstown, with the PPD none the wiser that it contains you!

Paragon Police Dialogue on the Streets

Before Combat:

PPD Awakened: I don't like it. That woman used to be Mother Mayhem, how can we trust her?

PPD Drone: It wasn't her, her body was being used by Shalice Tilman. Didn't you read the report?

PPD Awakened: I did, I just don't buy it. The Praetorians are all around us now, I don't like it.

---

Before Combat:

PPD Awakened: I can't believe this. How did Marauder of all people get allowed to walk free?

PPD Awakened: He's not free. We have orders to take him down if anyone even thinks he's doing something wrong.

---

Before Combat:

PPD Drone: Did you see? That guy Riptide, the one who attacked Talos, he's free too!

PPD Awakened: He's a good soldier, from what I heard. He was just fighting for the wrong side.

---

Before Combat:

PPD Awakened: Have you met Provost Marchand? The guy organizing the New Praetorians?

PPD Awakened: I haven't, but Blue Steel vouches for him, says he's a good person.

---

Before Combat:

PPD Drone: Can we trust them? The New Praetorians?

PPD Awakened: Parson and Pendragon are OK. I'm not too sure about the others.

---

Before Combat:

PPD Awakened: Longbow's got Clockwork now, but what about us? When do we get our support?

PPD Awakened: Tell me about it, we could use some heavier technology to keep Paragon safe.

---

Before Combat:

PPD Awakened: I accidentally attacked Marauder.

PPD Drone: What?

PPD Awakened: I thought it was another invasion!

PPD Drone: Did he do anything?

PPD Awakened: He just shrugged it off and said not to worry about it. I don't know, though...

Ambush! You are periodically ambushed by waves of Paragon Police.
PPD Drone: Freeze, villain!

Paragon Police Dialogue in the Bank

Before Combat:

PPD Unleashed: Keep an eye out, we could have a situation on our hands.

You grabbed the money!

New Praetorians Dialogue

Before Combat:

Aurora Pena: I swore I would let no more evil be done on my watch, I will show the world I mean it by taking you in, Character!

Debriefing

Beautiful job, Character, absolutely beautiful. People are once again curious about you.

We have commercials airing now about your beat down against would-be bounty hunters. I believe you are also 'trending' on popular blog sites.

General Alito has managed to take down several weaker groups that sought to cash in on the bounty. There were the Goldbrickers, the Skulls, the Hellions, and even the Luddites. That leaves us with the larger groups that must be handled. Transmuter is currently trying to handle something with Subjugator 5; she seems to be disturbed by something, though there is a good chance that simply comes with the condition of being so twisted by Mother Mayhem.

Part Three: Ratings

Briefing

Bobcat has informed us that the Carnival of Shadows intends to cash in on your bounty. It seems Primal Vanessa DeVore isn't in it for the money as she is for the media attention. It is quite interesting how different Primal DeVore is from our DeVore.

I wonder what would happen if they ever met. Hrm...

Regardless, Transmuter has acted upon Bobcat's information and has found out where the Carnival are gathering to attack you.

• Where?

They are gathering in a place called Fortune's Wheel. It is a Carnival camp that they have in St. Martial. It's quite a symbol for the group, yes, quite a symbol.

Now, you could wait for them to make a move, or strike them in their home territory. I believe doing the latter would make you seem that much more fearsome, yes, much more fearsome.

If you can take down their head girls or whatever they're called and set fire to their little tents, I believe that would send a very strong message to all the others in the Rogue Isles. Quite the message.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Enjoy the carnival, Character.

Mission Objective(s)

You've sent a very direct message to the Carnival of Shadows!

Carnie Dialogue

Before Combat:

Harlequin Fencer: Those Carnival of Light run from us! How annoying.

Harlequin Juggler: Are they really afraid of a little get together?

Combat Start:

Harlequin Fencer: Ah, fame and fortune for taking down Character!

---

Before Combat:

Harlequin Juggler: It's a shame about Praetoria, we only had such a brief glimpse into it.

Attendant: Our universe is much better, anyway.

Combat Start:

Harlequin Juggler: Look good for the people at home!

---

Before Combat:

Harlequin Fencer: We simply MUST get our hands on some of those Carnival of Light!

Harlequin Fencer: How fun would that be? Ooo, I wonder if we can get the other Vanessa!

Combat Start:

Harlequin Fencer: Oh, the show is beginning!

---

Before Combat:

Attendant: Did you hear about Character?

Harlequin Fencer: Oh, I've heard all sorts of things about him / her.

Dean MacArthur Dialogue

Before Combat:

Dean MacArthur: I'm not normally into being kidnapped, but it's a pleasure being kidnapped by a +++ Missing Information +++ / lady like you!

Combat Start:

Dean MacArthur: I think we're about done here, though! My +++ Missing Information +++ / lovely gal is here to rescue me!

Dark Ring Mistress: Character is here too soon! Deal with the situation!

Upon Rescue:

Shadow Doppelganger: Surprise, me!

Dean MacArthur: Thanks for the save, Character. Those chicks saw my totally awesome broadcast and thought they'd try to ransom me off to you!

Dean MacArthur: But I said, nah, that ain't gonna happen, 'cause Character will find out about what's happenin' and come save me!

Dean MacArthur: ... Right?

Badge

If you rescued Dean MacArthur during this mission, you are awarded the Honorary Bro Badge.

Honorary Bro

Dean MacArthur stood up for you when Wu Yin tried to bring you down. He was captured by the Carnival of Shadows for this, but you rescued him. Dean MacArthur declared you an Honorary Bro.

Debriefing

That was quite interesting, sending a Shadow Doppelganger after you, Character, quite interesting; I suppose everyone wants to get into cloning these days.

The people of the Rogue Isles can't stop talking about your work, Character. In fact, as far as we can tell, that attack on the Carnival's base has caused a lot of people to rethink their attack on you.

Splice intercepted a communication between the Sky Raiders indicating that they called off an attack on you. She also sent a virus into the computers of the Rogue Arachnos. They won't be bothering us for the moment. However, we still have one group left that seems focused on trying to take you down.

Part Four: All in the Family

Briefing

The Family is your next target. Bobcat found out that they've hired a hero hunter to fight you. The man goes by the name of Crimson Revenant. They say he's the best at taking down heroes; I suppose the Family wants to test him against you.

Now, I should warn you, the Family isn't in this for the money. They're trying to prove a point. You're becoming a big name here in St. Martial, but they believe that this place is their territory.

• I'll show them who St. Martial belongs to.

What are your plans to show them who the city belongs to?

You decide that after taking care of Crimson Revenant, you'll go to the main city block that the Family owns here and create complete chaos, wrecking everything they own and leaving your mark on them! You explain the plan to Mr. G, who nods.

Excellent plan, Character. Splice has just received word that Crimson Revenant is waiting for you on an old highway in St. Martial. It was a rather... cheery message, very cheery. We'll be keeping the Vanguard helicopter reserved for our long distance flights, as usual. Good luck, Character.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I'm sure you'll handle this with ease, Character.

Mission Objective(s)

Crimson Revenant Dialogue

Before Combat:

Crimson Revenant: Well, Character, I've been hired to take you down.

Crimson Revenant: It's nothing, personal, really! Why don't we get started?

50% Health:

Crimson Revenant: Time to show you my little trick! Multiply!

Combat Start for Crimson Copy:

Crimson Revenant: This is why I'm a hero hunter, Character!

You defeated all the Crimson Revenants!

Family Dialogue

Before Combat:

Button Man Brawler: We got a ton of new tech from Praetoria. We're gonna be unstoppable now!

Button Man Hitter: Don't talk too loudly, boss has plans for that stuff.

---

Before Combat:

Button Man Beamer: Feels a little too, I dunno, heroic workin' with this Yin guy.

Button Man Brawler: Boss says it's only temporary. We're gonna take command once his plan is done.

---

Before Combat:

Button Man Beamer: What's the deal? Why're we workin' with this Yin guy?

Button Man Beamer: Boss says that he was the head of the Syndicate in Praetoria, or somethin'. Could make us a ton of money.

---

Before Combat:

Button Man Hitter: We gotta prepare ourselves for Character!

Button Man Hitter: We ain't supposed to be doin' this!

---

Before Combat:

Button Man Beamer: You see that one big gun? From those Resistance mooks?

Button Man Beamer: They know their guns, I'll give 'em that. But we can use it better.

---

Combat Start:

Button Man Beamer: You don't mess with the Family and live. Not even you, Character!

---

Before Combat:

Vitto Marcone: Character thinks he can take the Family on our turf, huh? Well, we'll show him / her a thing or two.

Combat Start:

Vitto Marcone: You ain't getting any further, Character!

Vincent Ross Dialogue

Before Combat:

Vincent Ross: You fools will pay for this action! Once I have my full power...!

Combat Start:

Vincent Ross: Your day of reckoning is at hand!

Prima Consigliere: We ain't ready yet, just bust Character's face in!

Upon Rescue:

Vincent Ross: Hrmph, thank you, Character, you're a true friend. These fiends cornered me in Sharkhead and dragged me here!

Vincent Ross: You've once against proved that you're better than the rest by saving me. I am still in your debt, it seems.

Badge

If you rescued Vincent Ross in this mission, you are awarded the Remembers Their Friends Badge.

Remembers Their Friends

Vincent Ross was kidnapped by the Family after they found out he had past dealings with you. However, you beat the Family down and rescued Vincent Ross, showing the Rogue Isles that you remember your friends.

Debriefing

Splice is reporting that the internet is teeming with people commenting on your videos, Character. You're becoming quite the sensation. Most of your opponents have backed down, including a good amount of the Family.

This is actually quite fortunate for us, as we've been able to pinpoint where Wu Yin is. Splice did a trace and discovered that someone was talking to the Carnival, the Family, and every other group that was after you. They're still trying to send a signal right now to the Family, which means we know exactly where Wu Yin is hiding.

Finale: The Final Headline

Briefing

The Yins and Tub Ci are holed up in a penthouse in St. Martial. According to Splice, they still have some of the Family helping them out, perhaps out of spite for you.

Without the Family, the Yin's have nothing left to throw at you. Well... except for Penelope Yin and Tub Ci. But I believe you can handle them very easily.

This will be the final episode of your show, Character, and the Rogue Isles are going to tune in to see you get your vengeance upon the man who was out to get you!

• I'll make sure not to disappoint the fans.

I know you won't, Character. Now, you'll have to be careful, as Tub Ci is still a very dangerous opponent. You'll want to prepare yourself, as you don't want to be defeated on live television.

Take everyone down and we'll end all of this.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I'll be eagerly watching your progress, Character.

Mission Objective(s)

This should be the final episode of your hit series... so how come the cameras aren't working?

You've put a stop to your bounty, but discovered that the Yins have another trick up their sleeve!

Family Dialogue

Before Combat:

Button Man Hitter: What was the deal again?

Button Man Brawler: We help Yin and he continues gettin' us that Praetorian technology.

---

Before Combat:

Button Man Beamer: I keep tellin' ya, the money is in Port Oakes! We can run that town now, if we wanted to.

Button Man Brawler: Give it time, we got a ton of stuff to do first.

---

Before Combat:

Button Man Beamer: I gotta say, seein' that Praetorian stuff in action is really somethin' else.

Button Man Hitter: Tell me about it. You hear about Fixadine?

---

Before Combat:

Button Man Brawler: Can't believe Character is getting' this far!

Button Man Beamer: I can believe it, shouldn't underestimate that kinda +++ Missing Information +++ / girl.

Tub Ci Dialogue

Before Combat:

Tub Ci: This must end today. Character is too dangerous to the world.

Combat Start:

Tub Ci: This is where it ends, Character!

  Wu Yin: Tub Ci has been bested by Character. Hurry, Penny, we must get out of here!
Penelope Mayhem: We can take her, father, just give me the chance!
Wu Yin: No! Not like this, Penny. We retreat to fight another day.
Wu Yin: Can you handle this from here?
Awakened: We will do our best, as long as Penelope can keep our hatred under control.
Penelope Mayhem: I'm sorry, I promise we'll come back for you!

Subjugator Dialogue

Before Combat:

Subjugator: I have sworn to protect the Yin family...

Combat Start:

Subjugator: I have a new life now because of the Yins. You will not take them away!

Badge

Upon completing this mission, you are awarded the Villain of the Month Badge.

Villain of the Month

You publically put down every attempt on your life, and then smashed apart Wu Yin's entire operation. The public is calling you the 'Villain of the Month'.

Debriefing

Fascinating work, Character. The WPSDR team has been sent back and thanked for their services. John Houston will be talking about what you've done for weeks, even if it wasn't broadcast.

Tub Ci is currently in a hospital from your fight, and I believe he'll be there for a long time, a very long time. It seems, however, that you and I have more things to worry about. It is concerning that such a touchy subject as the Awakened being present should slip under us. Regardless, it is now clear what Subjugator 5 was concerned about. She was able to sense the presence of her fellow Awakened in this dimension.

The Yins believe that they can use the Awakened as a weapon against you. The bounty was their first attempt at stopping you - the Awakened will be their second. You can turn the tables on the Yins by attacking the Awakened and turning them on their so-called 'masters'! They will see that you do not simply rest at stopping one of Yin's lackeys!
