Information
Police Liaison
A long-term veteran of the force, Detective Miller has seen it all, and watched it happen with a wry smile and the sense of perspective that only a lifetime in Paragon City can give you.
Wrong Detective
Let me look at this. Okay Character, it looks like you're not on my list yet. But hey, maybe you should check with Detective Fish, too?
Too Low Level
I'm not sure you're ready for this yet. Why don't you come back around when you're about security level 30 or so?
Initial Contact
Alright Character, I don't know if you know how this works, but I'm Detective Miller, and it's part of my job to make sure you can help the police and we can help you and all that. So, let me make sure you have the police radio frequencies. Okay, here's how it works: You help us, and we'll know we can count on you. Then, if something big happens, we'll let you know first thing.
Now that you've gotten a Police Radio, you can start scanning Police chatter to hear about the crimes as they're committed in your current zone. You can then act on a report by selecting it from the Police Radio, listed under your Contacts.
Greeting
- Don't lose your perspective.
- It's crazy out there.
Too Busy
You seem to have a lot going on right now, Character. Maybe you should pull back a bit, and finish up some of this stuff before you start looking for new things to do.
No More Missions
Look, I have a big spiel about not losing your perspective and all, but I really don't think I need to give it to you. You know that there's bigger things for you to do, so why not just go and do some of 'em, alright?
Missions
Template:Safeguard Talos Island
Protect Brickstown bank
While listening for the latest signs of trouble, you hear a call asking for heroes to speak with Contact directly. Something big is happening.
Briefing
We've got a situation in Brickstown. Nemesis is about to make a coordinated strike on the bank, and rumor has it that Arachnos may have sent Ice Mistral to assist them. I need you to head to Brickstown and stop the assault! Reports have come in that troops have been spotted entering the bank already, so you should head over there now. You probably have about 5 minutes or less before they make their escape.
This is a Safeguard mission. Once you prevent the heist, you will have 15 minutes to explore the area and potentially earn extra rewards before the P.P.D. lock down the area. You can earn extra time by defeating vandals and completing side missions.
Mission Acceptance
In addition to the chaos by Nemesis troops, the Council are taking this as an opportunity to display their power, and have sent their troops into the streets. The more of them you stop, the easier it will be to clean up the streets! Be wary, if you provoke them, they may try to cause mayhem, so watch out for anyone who is vandalizing the area.
Periodically, vandals will arrive to destroy parts of the city. You will see a message when they arrive, and their locations will be displayed in your minimap.
Mission Refusal
What?! I understand, Character. You no doubt have some very important things to do. We'll do our best to stop them, but it doesn't look good.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Go protect Brickstown!
Mission Objective(s)
The first thing you notice are the Council troops lining the streets, waiting for anyone to cross their path. Nemesis troops are causing mayhem, destroying property and holding guard at key locations. You can't let the city fall to these criminals!
