Level 5-9

Level 10-14

Contact Introduces

Multiple contact options
A couple people I know want to meet you, Character.
Single contact option
I got someone I want you to meet.
You need to find a new source.

Level 10-14

There's a gun dealer named Carla Brunelli who would like to meet you. She's a very responsible, proactive woman who's helped a number of heroes in her time. She is deeply troubled by the Clockwork. Their presence in Skyway City means that she can usually be found there.

Carla is tough but fair.

I'd like you to go and talk to my friend Tristan Caine. He's an environmental activist who keeps a close eye on everything that might impact the city's welfare, including criminals. He might have some good tips for you on the Vahzilok. Tristan has a lot of political connections, so he keeps near the city's center in Skyway City.

There's a talented young lawyer named Athena Currie who you should talk to. She's a big community activist and has had some serious run-ins with the Clockwork. Miss Currie practices law in Steel Canyon.

Athena can really use the help of a hero like you.

I know a lawyer, Everett Daniels, who's a pretty good guy. He goes after the big corporations and even the government sometimes, but he's usually on the right side of things. He's always got a lead on the Clockwork. Mr. Daniels' practice is in Skyway City.

Everett will get you into the thick of things.

I know a confidential informant named Lorenzo DiCosta. He can provide you with some solid leads on current Council activity. Lorenzo can be found on the streets of Skyway City.

Lorenzo is well placed to provide information; please don't judge him too harshly, Character.

I suggest you see if Jill Pastor from the FCC has anything for you. She's always looking for heroes to help her out with the Vahzilok. Jill's offices are in Skyway City.

Jill is very serious about catching the bad guys and is willing to give valuable info to any hero who can get the job done.

There's an EPA investigator named Kyle Peck who's known for working well with heroes. I'm sure he'd be happy to help you out as well, and, more importantly, I think you could help him against the Vahzilok. Kyle's connections keep him in Steel Canyon most of the time.

Kyle is fiercely dedicated. As long as you show commitment to helping Paragon City, you will have a strong ally.

You should talk to Haley Philips over at the Health Department. She specializes in identifying and dealing with health threats posed by the Hellions and the Circle of Thorns. She's always looking for more help from the city's heroes. She can be found in Skyway City.

Haley has very strong beliefs about safety.

You might want to go see Hugo Redding, a physician's assistant who specializes in taking care of heroes. He also moonlights as a reporter for a medical website, so he's always hearing interesting tidbits about the Hellions and the Circle of Thorns. Hugo hangs out in Steel Canyon.

Hugo is keyed into the latest medical practices.

I know a private eye named Wes Schnabel who wants to talk to you about the Council. He's always looking for new contacts and good heroes to work with. He usually takes cases in Steel Canyon.

Schnabel is a good, old-fashioned gumshoe.

Dr. Trevor Seaborn expressed an interest in meeting you when I told him about your good work. He's a psychiatrist specializing in criminal behavior, and an expert on the Hellions and the Circle of Thorns. Dr. Seaborn is in Steel Canyon.

Trevor has a brilliant mind, and his insights on criminal behavior are invaluable.

You ever meet Willy Starbuck? He's a small time hustler, but he knows a lot about the Council, and he's willing to talk. You should stop by and introduce yourself. Willy grifts over in Steel Canyon.

Willy has the kind of mind that can lead you right to the heart of trouble.

Level 15-19

Did you ever see that weekly paper, the Asian Paragon? Well, its publisher, Olivia Chung, is a great woman. She knows all about what's going on in the immigrant community and has helped more than one hero sort out a jam involving the Vahzilok or the Outcasts. Olivia has her offices in Steel Canyon.

You won't meet many people as good-hearted as Olivia.

Dr. Ann-Marie Engles is a real expert in the field of cybernetics. She is fascinated with the technical aspect of the Vahzilok and the social impact of the Outcasts. Dr. Engles has set up shop in Skyway City.

You'll learn a lot from Dr. Engles; she's always happy to lend heroes a hand.

Agent Pavel Garnier from the FBI asked me to send you to him. He thinks you could help him with some of his cases involving the Vahzilok and the Outcasts. Pavel is currently looking into something in Skyway City.

A positive connection with the FBI is a very good thing to have.

Have you ever read Juliana Nehring's column? She's an Internet reporter who specializes in super-powered villains. She's always looking for new sources to help her investigate the latest Vahzilok and Outcast activities. Juliana files her stories in Skyway City.

Juliana is tough as nails and is willing to do whatever it takes to get a story.

Information

Former Gang Member

Most old gangsters are either dead or in prison, but Wilson Zucco is one of the lucky few who survived and managed to turn his life around. Now he works as a youth outreach administrator, teaching kids about gang awareness and sometimes acting as a liaison between law enforcement and the gangs. He's liked and admired by both sides of the law, which gives him access to an unusual mix of information. Wilson is happy to work with heroes, especially since they can handle gangs in ways the police can't.

Prior to Introduction

Sorry, I'm crazy busy right now. Seen Active Contact recently? Maybe you should.

Initial Contact

The Skulls are pulling a lot of good kids into a bad situation. I want you to help me stop that.

Greeting

  • I've heard a lot of crazy stuff from the kids today.
  • We got problems, serious problems.

Too Busy

You've got too much to do as it is, Character.

Too Low Level

Come see me when you reach Security Level 10 / 14. I just might have a job for you.

No More Missions

I have the gang situation in hand, Character, but I'm sure one of your other contacts can really use your help.

Store

You're doin' a good job, Character. The kids tipped me off to a stash of powerful Enhancements. In your hands, I know they'll do some good. If there's some way I can help you, call.

You got your head, and your heart, in the right places, Character. Don't ask me how I got my hands on the new Enhancements in my store. Just take them, and use them well.

  • Level 15 Mutation/Science Dual Origin Enhancements (150% base costs)

Missions

Investigate Peterson Waste Management and stop any Skull plot you discover (9-15)

Briefing

No one has been seen leaving the offices of Peterson Waste Management for the last few days. I've heard rumors of Skulls in the area, and I'm afraid they may have done something to those office workers. I need you to investigate Peterson Waste Management and stop any Skull plot you discover.

I have a bad feeling about this. But I firmly believe you can handle it.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I'm really concerned about Peterson Waste Management. Tell me when you've wrapped up there.

Mission Objective(s)

A woman's scream is followed by the sound of a vicious slap.

  • Stop Skull leader and his crew
    • 5 hostages to save, 5 bombs to disarm

You rescued the hostages and dismantled the bombs.

Enemies

Skulls

Notable NPCs

  • 5 Terrified office workers (Hostages)
Clue
The office worker's story

One of the office workers you rescued told you:

'They tried to force us to take Superadine! And I heard one of them say that taking too much can turn you into one of the Trolls!'

Notes

  • There is not a named Skulls leader in the mission. Clearing the final room fulfils the objective requirements.

Debriefing

So the Skulls were trying to poison those people by forcing them to overdose on Superadine? It just doesn't make sense. There's no connection at all between the Skulls and Peterson Waste Management. I really think the Skulls are small time players with big time backing. I'd bet my life they're doing the bidding of somebody else!

Confiscate the drugs (9-15)

Briefing

I've got a good lead on an abandoned warehouse where the Skulls are storing their stash of Superadine. I need you to get in there and confiscate the drugs. That should put a serious crimp in the Skulls' distribution plans!

Mission Acceptance

Watch out for the Skull they call Boss Name. He's sent more than one hero to the hospital.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I need you to confiscate that Superadine before it hits the streets!

Mission Objective(s)

Time hasn't been kind to this old building, and the Skulls' willful destruction has completed its ruin.

  • Defeat Boss Name and his crew
    • 5 drug stashes to confiscate, Arrest Boss Name

You confiscated the Superadine and arrested Boss Name.

Clue
Confiscated Superadine

You confiscated this Superadine from a Skulls' base.

Notable NPCs

Editor's Note:

The name of the Skulls leader varies. Possible names include Bonebreaker, Defier, Lasher, Strong Man, and Mr. Bones.

Enemies

Skulls

Debriefing

Well, that's one load of Superadine that will never see the streets! Excellent work, Character.

Hit the streets and defeat a few Lost (10-14)

Briefing

The scientists over at SERAPH want some more data on these mysterious Lost. If we can find out what has happened to those homeless people, we may be able to help them. I need you to hit the streets and defeat a few Lost. Take some tissue samples, then bring the data back to me.

Mission Acceptance

Field reports have groups of the Lost in Kings Row and inside Perez Park. Good luck.

Clue
Medical kit

This medical kit contains sterile swabs and a dozen syringes. With it, you should be able to sample enough Lost tissue to give the doctors some insight into the strange changes taking place among the homeless population.

Unnecessary Solicitation

The scientists need more tissue samples if they're going to figure out what's happened to the homeless.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Collect tissue samples from Lost
    • Defeat 10 Lost

You have collected enough tissue samples from the Lost.

Enemies

The Lost
Clue
Tissue Samples

You took these tissue samples from the Lost you defeated. They may help the scientists at SERAPH determine what has turned the homeless into the Lost.

Debriefing

Thanks. I hope your efforts have brought us closer to solving this mystery once and for all.

Go to Kings Row and put an end to the Lost assaults (10-14)

Briefing

Some of the citizens in Kings Row have reported attacks by those mysterious Lost! I need a hero who can get to Kings Row and put an end to the Lost's assaults. I don't know what has happened to the homeless lately, but I know we can't let them terrorize the rest of the city.

Mission Acceptance

Thanks. I can always count on you.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I'm still hearing reports of the Lost assaulting citizens in Kings Row.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Combat Lost in Kings Row
    • Defeat 10 Lost

You have discouraged the Lost from assaulting citizens in Kings Row

Enemies

The Lost

Debriefing

You did good work today. With you at my side, I'm confident we'll crack the mystery of the Lost!

Go to Kings Row and show the Skulls they can't pick on Paragon City's businessmen (10-14)

Briefing

The Skulls have started extorting money from the business owners in Kings Row. If the victims don't pay up, the Skulls trash their businesses. Someone's got to get to Kings Row and show the Skulls they can't pick on Paragon City's businessmen. I think you're just the one to do it.

Mission Acceptance

You can find a lot of Skulls in the Gish, or near the Royal Refinery.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Those business owners can't stand up to the Skulls, Flame Scrapper. You're going to have to do it for them.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Combat Skulls in Kings Row
    • Defeat 10 Skulls

You have discouraged the Skulls from extorting money from business owners in Kings Row.

Enemies

Skulls

Debriefing

Kings Row owes you one. I'm glad we can keep the wheels of commerce turning over there.

Investigate the warehouse (10-15)

Briefing

I need you to investigate a warehouse for me. Eyewitnesses say they've seen people walk in, stay for a couple of hours,then leave looking much bigger and stronger than when they entered. One of the witnesses said the warehouse is under the control of a homeless man called Unlucky Pete. I'd like you to track him down; he may well have some answers for us.

Mission Acceptance

This could be the first step towards figuring out what is behind the strange behavior of the homeless.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You haven't discovered what is going on in that warehouse yet.

Mission Objective(s)

This warehouse should be busy, but the only people you've seen are the bedraggled members of the city's homeless population.

  • Defeat Boss Name and his helpers
    • Arrest Boss Name

You defeated Unlucky Pete.

Notable NPCs

Editor's Note:

Although some mission text uses the boss's old name "Unlucky Pete", the name of the Lost leader varies. Possible names include Gregor.

Enemies

The Lost

Debriefing

More of those Lost. Interesting. You say the leader wanted the rest of the homeless to undergo some kind of change? I think we're on the trail of something big.

See Perez Park Security Chief (7-9)

Talk to Security Chief

Briefing

The Security Chief for Perez Park asked for you by name. You should take that as a compliment. Go talk to him. He's located in Atlas Park near the gates to Perez Park.

Mission Acceptance

Perez Park is a dangerous place these days. Clearly the Chief thinks you can handle it, but take a couple of friends with you, just in case.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Don't let the Perez Park Security Chief down, Character.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Talk to Security Chief

Briefing

Take this briefing seriously. I need you to deal with some of the Circle of Thorns mystics that have been plaguing the area. Try looking for them in Bettis Hills.

Clue
Perez Park briefing

Perez Park used to be a beautiful place to take your family for an afternoon picnic. Now, no one in his right mind wanders in there. Most of the area has been abandoned, largely due to the rumors of unholy Circle of Thorns rites taking place deep within the forest. The park is entirely overgrown, a perfect place for those strange mystics to summon up a demon or two. This zone is so deadly that even heroes shouldn't go in there in groups of fewer than three.

Keep the peace in Perez Park

Unnecessary Solicitation

Deal with the Circle in Perez Park!

Mission Objective(s)

  • Keep the peace in Perez Park
    • Defeat 10 Circle of Thorns

You have defeated 10 Circle of Thorns mystics.

Enemies

Circle of Thorns

Debriefing

I guess the Chief's confidence in you was well placed. Fantastic job, Character.

Talk to the Steel Canyon Security Chief (10-11)

Talk to Security Chief

Briefing

There is trouble in Steel Canyon. Get your assignment from the Security Chief.

Mission Acceptance

You will probably be dealing with the Outcasts, so be ready for anything.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Don't let the Security Chief down, Character.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Talk to Security Chief in Steel Canyon

Briefing

Here is some info on the area. I need you to get out on the streets and contain the Outcasts. They can usually be found in Blyde Square or the Copper District.

Clue
Steel Canyon briefing

Steel Canyon is the financial district of Paragon City. Many national banks, insurance companies, and investment firms have their headquarters in this zone. In fact, so much money flows through Steel Canyon, Paragon City ranks among America's richest cities. Success has spurred the construction of so many skyscrapers that the place looks like a canyon made of concrete, glass and metal. The zone isn't without its dangers, though. The Outcasts have claimed the area as their own, and they've recruited a lot of kids with mutant powers related to the elements. That's what the Outcasts love best—beating down their enemies with the power of the elements.

Keep peace in Steel Canyon

Unnecessary Solicitation

Deal with the Outcasts for Security!

Mission Objective(s)

  • Keep peace in Steel Canyon
    • Defeat 10 Outcasts

You have defeated 10 Outcasts.

Enemies

Outcasts

Debriefing

Well done; those Outcasts are a powerful bunch. It seems the number of mutants in the city is increasing rapidly.

Talk to the Boomtown Security Chief (12)

Talk to Security Chief

Briefing

Lately, the Clockwork have been tearing Boomtown apart. Report to the Security Chief for that zone and he will tell you what to do.

Mission Acceptance

I don't know why they do this, but the Clockwork are becoming more of a menace every day. Watch out for the huge monster, Babbage!

Unnecessary Solicitation

Don't let the Security Chief down, Character.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Talk to Security Chief

Briefing

Here is some info on Boomtown, Character. I need you to stop the Clockwork! You could start looking for them in Primer or the Cannonade.

Clue
Boomtown briefing

Baumton was the city's first marketplace, where tradesman and farmers went to sell their wares. After the Rikti Invasion, people started calling it Boomtown, because the devastation reminded them of a bomb crater. It's pretty dangerous. If I were you, I wouldn't go in without a few other heroes for backup. The place is infested with those Clockwork robots. They look like toys, but they cause plenty of havoc by stealing bits of machinery and metal from all over. Even worse, a giant clockwork monster called Babbage prevents any pacification of the zone. Be especially careful of him.

Keep peace in Boomtown

Unnecessary Solicitation

Deal with the Clockwork for Security!

Mission Objective(s)

  • Keep peace in Boomtown
    • Defeat 10 Clockwork

You have defeated 10 Clockwork.

Debriefing

We used to laugh at the Clockwork. Not anymore. Well done, Character.

Talk to the Skyway City Security Chief (13-14)

Talk to Security Chief

Briefing

The Trolls are rampaging again! The Security Chief asked for you by name. Find him, and get your assignment.

Mission Acceptance

These rampages are happening more and more. Something has to be done!

Unnecessary Solicitation

Don't let the Security Chief down, Character.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Talk to Security Chief

Briefing

Take this and get on the streets immediately. Stop those Trolls! They've caused a lot of havoc in Vista Plaza and the Astral District.

Clue
Skyway City briefing

Back in the 1970's, there was a huge drive to create highways to relieve congestion in the city. No one would need to drive on the surface streets - instead, we would drive above them! So the city started building high spanning bridges everywhere, and Skyway City quickly turned into one big highway in the sky. Now this zone is home to a street gang that likes to camp out underneath bridges: the Trolls. These are thugs who've mutated, thanks to taking a bit too much Superadine. But watch out; the drug has given many of them inhuman strength and resistance.

Stop rampage in Skyway City

Unnecessary Solicitation

Deal with the Trolls for Security!

Mission Objective(s)

  • Stop rampage in Skyway City
    • Defeat 10 Trolls

You have stopped the rampage.

Debriefing

Good job today. There must be some link between Superadine and these rampages. The Trolls need to be cut off from their supply.
