Introductions

Contact Introduced By

• Detective Jose Brogan
• Paula Dempsey
• Laurence Mansfield
• Prince Kiros Nandelu

New Contact(s)

I know some people who can help you.

• Vic Johansson

Vic Johansson's good police. He'll steer you towards some interesting opportunities involving the Lost, and help smooth things over with law enforcement. His beat is Kings Row.

Vic is good people, Character. You will enjoy working with him.

• Samuel Pierce

You ever been to one of Samuel Pierce's parties? He's an event promoter, and he knows how to put on a good time. He also has a nose for trouble. You should meet him, see if he'll give you a tip on the Vahzilok. Mr. Pierce is promoting a new movie over in Kings Row.

Samuel is somewhat cavalier, but he wants the city cleaned up very badly.

• Paco Sanchez

There's an EMT named Paco Sanchez who'd like to meet you. He's not only great at his job, but he also works well with heroes, tipping them off whenever he sees something interesting going on with the Hellions and the Circle of Thorns. Paco can be found in Atlas Park.

Paco primarily cares about saving lives.

I want to introduce you to one of my informants.

• Alfonse Rubel

There's this kid, Alfonse Rubel, who's a courier. He zips all over the city, delivering important packages and messages. He sees a lot of what's going down with the Lost and the Skulls. Al's route has him in Steel Canyon for the next few days.

Alfonse is almost always on the move. If you catch him at rest, he can help you out.

Information

Science Reporter

Science has had more advances in the past year than it has in the past 100, dou in great part to the massive knowledge researchers continue to glean from the recovered Rikti technology. It is Ron Hughes' greatest pleasure to report on these developments as a writer for The Paragon Science Journal, especially since he knows that not all those making advances have Paragon City's best interests at heart. Ron knows just the right questions to ask, and his contacts in the scientific community often tip him off to research taking place under shady circumstances. He finds such experiments morally appalling, and he's helped more than a few heroes bust illegal labs.

Prior to Introduction

I'm sorry, but I've got an interview in a few minutes. You should have a discussion with Active Contact instead.

Initial Contact

I am looking forward to working with you, Character. Through science and knowledge, we will help this city together.

Greeting

• I have some great stories brewing.
• You want to make the cover?

Too Busy

Looks like you already have a full plate, Character.

Too Low Level

This next job is a little bit tricky. Maybe when you reach Security Level 5.

No More Missions

I don't have any more leads for you, Character. Ask one of your other contacts.

Store

• Inspirations (Luck, Catch a Breath, Enrage)

I am grateful to have a hero like you as a friend, Character. I have access to some new Enhancements you should take a look at. You should feel free to call me anytime.

• Inspirations (all)
• Level 10 Training Enhancements (100% base costs) (Power 10 only)

If we trust each other fully, we can keep science in the right hands. Check out the new Enhancements my sources have provided.
