Study Group

Briefing

Listen up, kiddo. Remember those meteors that the Shivans were dropping from on the day they attacked? Well, according to Proton, those things are going to be the 'key' to stopping them from coming back one day and destroying the whole Earth. Seems that Stabilizer Field of his can be reversed-engineered to cause inversion inside the meteors to do... well, to do something really technical that I have no idea what the guy was going on about.

All I know is that we've got a big day coming up, and we're gonna need to be ready for it in case something goes wrong. Because nothing can be easy for us, right? So are you with me to get ourselves prepared?

  • Absolutely! What do you have in mind?

Proton is going to need combat data from us to make sure we work better together as a cohesive team. Even though there are only a few of us, we're still a supergroup in our own right and we need to start fighting that way.

This is where Manticore comes in. Our sugar daddy has offered us the use of his place for testing purposes. Seems he has some holographic simulation test projectors that his buddy Positron made for him a while back. Positron has set up some combat routines for all of us to run through. We've already completed the tests, so that just leaves you. I'll be the one taking down the data for your test. So let's quit with the yappin' and get over to his mansion, cool?

Unnecessary Solicitation

What're you doing, kid? We're supposed to be running these test trials at Manticore's place. Get your butt over there, soldier!

Mission Objective(s)

File:Map MANTICORE MANSION 2.png
Map: MANTICORE_MANSION_2

You're back in Manticore's Mansion and he seems to have cleaned up the place since the last time you were here. Let's try not to break anything this time, shall we?

  • Complete Proton's Combat Tests
    • Turn on the Observation Terminal
    • Fight the Family Simulation
    • Fight the Trolls Simulation
    • Turn on the downstairs Observation Terminal
    • Fight the Vahzilok Simulation
    • Fight the Outcast Simulation
    • Fight the Council Simulation
    • Quickly! Help Twinshot!
    • Talk to Twinshot

You finished all of your combat tests for Proton and should have enough data to help him out. It's a good thing Manticore and Positron's simulators didn't all go haywire the way the last one did! You could've gotten hurt!

Enemies

The Family
Trolls
Vahzilok
Outcasts
Council
Praetorian Clockwork
Okay, I'm getting feed now, Character. I'm down here in the lab below recording everything.

The first test will be you encountering a group of holograms that'll look like a group of mooks that you'll find working for The Family.
These guys are throwbacks to back when Paragon City was run by gangsters. Unfortunately, you'll find they just don't want to let go of the past, you know?

They'll be waiting for you in the display room up the stairs.
The Family Simulation Dialogue
Good work, Character. I was able to get all that.

You know, Manticore's got some nice hardware lining his place. Must be nice to have a supergroup base all to your own. Most times, bases like these are shared.
I tell you what... if all of us break up, I'm joining a supergroup that's loaded with teleporters and all that kinda jazz.
Wow... total tangent there. Okay, next up will be some Trolls.

These guys are strung out on Superadyne, making them all look like television bodybuilders or something. If you don't know what that stuff is, then all the better for ya.
Trolls Simulation Dialogue
Okay, we're done with the upper floor.

Head downstairs and find the Observation terminal in the Council Chamber. It'll be right in front of you when you get to the lower level.
Go ahead and flip it on so I can keep gathering your combat data. And while you're there, count your lucky stars that you're one of the few that are allowed to actually see that place.

Not just anyone gets to hang out in the chamber where the Freedom Phalanx holds their meetings. Or plays pen and paper roleplaying games, or whatever they do down there.

You have turned on the Observation Terminal, allowing Twinshot to observe and record your combat routines

Pretty snazzy in that council room, eh?

The last group I worked for had a really nice lounge. I guess when you have your own base, you can pick whatever you want to fill up the place. Must be nice.
Okay, I'm going to need you to head towards the lab now.
Along the way I'm going to hit you with some Vahzilok meatpuppets.

Their leader, Dr. Vahzilok makes Dr. Frankenstein look like a pediatrician. Hop to it, Character.
Vahzilok Simulation Dialogue
Alright, good so far. Next I'm going to have you tackle some Outcasts.

They may look like regular street thugs, but watch yourself. These punks have elemental powers that will knock you on your feet if you're not careful.

It's a shame these guys chose to mess with Paragon instead of trying to help. Some of the Outcasts have some Hero potential, but they'd need to pull a full 180 first, you know?
The Outcast Simulation Dialogue
We're just about done. Up next are some guys from The Council.

Get this... these guys are, like, holdouts from WWII. Some of the super soldiers back then infiltrated Paragon, and they've been causing trouble ever since.

They've also made some bad deals with some bad aliens, so watch out.
The Council Simulation Dialogue
Okay, here's the last one then we can go home.

You get to fight some of your old Clockwork buddies again.
Hmmm... you know what? I'm cancelling this one, since you've already fought them enough.

Gimme a sec as I close down this prog -- WHAT THE ---
Twinshot Dialogue
Briefing

Looks like Positron had some kind of glitch in his software. I tried shutting down the Clockwork program, and these things showed up instead.

Who knows how this stuff is supposed to work, you know?

  • Um, why haven't they de-initialized?

Huh? Oh, uh... I don't know. Could be a bug or something. I'll let the eggheads figure that one out. For now we're done.

Why don't we head outta here and get some fresh city air. You know, the kind where you can just taste the smog and almost swish it around in your mouth? Real air, know what I'm sayin'?

  • Um, not really, but I'll go with it.

I have to say... I really like your attitude, kid. Much better than my old squad. Why don't you meet me back in Kings', cool?

  • Sounds good. See you there.

Debriefing

Well, I've given Proton all of the data and he looked relieved. He says he's calculating success probabilities and all that. I asked him what would happen if we just ran in there shouting our names. We'll just say he looked horrified.

Now all we need to do is wait until we get the go from the ole' egghead. And then we bring the fight to the Shivans, not the other way around!
