Guilt-Stricken Trail of Blood
Alignment Mission
You come across a trail of blood that seems out of place. Not only do you triangulate the direction the trail leads, you also have a friend on the force to run tests on a sample:
Blood/DNA Test Results: Analysis of this blood sample comes back with a 99.9% match pointing to Neville Hanks, aka The Slicer. A known serial killer, Hanks masquerades as a Longbow agent and lures his victims to a secret location and brutally murders them. Character, if you found Hanks, please hand over all your information so we can put him on trial! - Jenine
Put him on trial? That's exactly what you have in mind...
Villain: Give 'The Slicer' a... fair... trial.
You've come across a way to track down a sick and twisted perversion of what you can barely call a human being. This revolting creature dares to put on the guise of those who watch over the innocent, but rather than protecting them... He brutally slaughters them instead? And now your friend on the force suggests that you hand over your evidence so that he can be put through the mockery of a court system back in Paragon City?
No.
Neville Hanks will be given a trial... but unlike the one he'd be given in Paragon, this one will make him pay for his crimes against humanity.
- Seek out 'The Slicer' and preside over his trial!
You were able to triangulate the direction Hanks was travelling towards when when he was injured. It seems he's holed himself up in some abandoned warehouse nearby. While he's still weak, now would be a good time to track him down and give him the trial he deserves before it's too late. You wouldn't want him to die before he faces the justice he's managed to evade all this time.
Unnecessary Solicitation
If you don't track down Neville Hanks before he recovers, he might manage to get away. And if he does, all the rest of his victims' lives will be on your hands, not his.
Mission Objective(s)
You can hear the sound of wailing and moaning coming from deeper inside the warehouse. Quickly! Get to The Slicer before he kills another victim!
- Find evidence that Neville Hanks is here
- Find Neville Hanks, aka 'The Slicer'
- Lead Neville to his Tormenters
Your work is done here. Neville killed himself rather than continue to be tormented by his victims. You're certain your friends on the force will find his body... Someday.

You'll be my friend? All of my friends are here and they say I did bad things and they scare me and they keep praying and they won't stop and they're hurting ME AND IT HURTS!
- I can make the pain go away, Neville.
I'm hurt... Hurt real bad. I didn't have anyone to play with... And my friends kept praying and saying I was doing bad things. So I used my toys on myself to make them go away BUT THEY DIDN'T GO AWAY!
- Let's play together, okay Neville?
You'll play with me? WOW!!! I'm very, very happy now! If you keep the bad friends away from me, I'll show you my toys! And I'll show you how I make smiles! Big, red smiles!!!

Debriefing
Neville Hank's reign of terror has come to an end. In a final act of cowardice, he slit his own throat rather than listen to his ghostly tormenters. In the end, he got a fair trial in which he pleaded 'Guilty'. You acted as judge, his victims the jury, and Neville played the role of executioner.
Justice has been served.
