This task force is also designated as a Signature Task Force. As such, missions will always spawn mobs at level 30 or higher, regardless of team members' levels.

Missions
Investigate Council Base
Location -Independence Port
Briefing
Greetings, Task Force Name. I have a very difficult task for you. Manticore recently discovered some disturbing data about the Council, and I need you to investigate. My sensors indicate increased Council activity in Independence Port. Please go there, investigate a Council base, and return with any data you find.
This problem must be addressed without delay.

Mission Objective(s)
This Council base looks newly formed.
- Investigate Council base
- Defeat All soldiers in base.
Debriefing
It appears the Council has yet another new base. If they are expanding this quickly, it can only mean trouble. I will scan the blueprints you found for any identifying features; perhaps we can determine the other base's location.
It is a pleasure to work with you, Task Force Steel. You may contact me at any time.
Defeat All Soldiers in base

Briefing
I've examined these blueprints you found, and I think I've determined the location of the Council's new base. I need you to investigate that base, Task Force Name. We must find out what the Council is using it for.

Defeat Base Leader and Guards
Location -Talos Island
Briefing
It looks like that Council agent may have been telling the truth when he warned you of their other facilities. I have located one in Talos Island; it looks like it's been around for a while, so they probably have a full supply of Zenith Mech Men. That's a good thing, because we need to know everything we can about these new mech men. I need you to shut down that facility and return with any data you find.
Mission Acceptance
I don't have any data on the abilities of these new Zenith Mech Men so be wary.
Unnecessary Solicitation

This facility is older than the other Council base you shut down. You have to assume the Council has been using it for many months.

Completing Citadel's Children Task Force from Citadel awards the Citadel's Assistant Badge.
Citadel has awarded you this medal for helping him rid the world of the evil robots based on his programming.
Souvenir
Souvenirs are no longer awards for Trials and Task Forces, but this is the text from the souvenir for this task force that was previously awarded.
Computer chip
You recovered this computer chip from a defeated Council Mekman. It's a reminder of the time you had to go toe to toe with:
Citadel's Children
It started so simply. Citadel sent you to seek information on the Council's activities in Independence Port. Some of the agents you fought were carrying blueprints outlining a new facility.
You traveled to this facility and battled an agent called Reinhard. He boasted that the Council's new Mekmen were more powerful than you could dream. You journeyed to another Council base, where you recovered physical evidence of these new Mekmen for Citadel to analyze.
When the technology foiled Citadel's scans, he sent you to Fareed Abdullah for an expert opinion. The Council and Fareed revealed the terrible truth at virtually the same time. The Mekmen were being created from the same technology that built Citadel!
After consulting with Manticore, Citadel sent you to a mekman manufacturing facility, which you shut down.
Showing as much emotion as anyone has ever seen from him, Citadel sent you to interrogate the Council soldiers in Independence Port. You took to the streets, and returned with a data disc bearing the locations of three Mekman production plants.
You shut them down one by one. At the last facility, you discovered the identity of the mastermind behind these advanced Mekmen. It was none other than Vandal, the Council's own twisted genius.
You traveled to Vandal's lair and defeated him, likely freeing Citadel from a terrible legacy.
Notes
The first two missions are always in Independence Port, and the second mission is always at the same location as the first.
