==== {{UL|Prevent Freakshow from making off with the electronics}} ====

'''Briefing'''

The [[Freakshow]] have broken into a warehouse full of electronic parts, which they no doubt plan to use for their cybernetic enhancements. {{Green|If you get over there right now, you may be just in time to prevent the Freakshow from making off with the electronics.}}

'''Mission Acceptance'''

Our informants are the only thing keeping us in step with the Freakshow.

'''Unnecessary Solicitation'''

I need you to stop the Freakshow from getting their hands on those electronics.

{{Mission Objective|Entrance=Smashed bottles and bad techno music betray the presence of the Freakshow.|Primary=Bust electronics thief, his crew|Secondary=|Additional=|Completion=You have defeated the Freakshow.}}

'''Enemies'''

{{Enemy Freakshow}}

'''Debriefing'''

With my information and your skill, we will certainly shut the Freakshow down.

==== {{UL|Patrol the area and prevent the Freakshow assaults}} ====

'''Briefing'''

The [[Freakshow]] have increased their activity in one of my patrol zones. It seems they're targeting specific business folk for assault. {{Green|I need you to patrol the area and prevent the Freakshow assaults.}}

'''Mission Acceptance'''

This kind of activity hurts the economy of [[Paragon City]], {{Character}}.

'''Unnecessary Solicitation'''

I need you on that patrol route, hero.

{{Mission Objective|Entrance=|Primary=Patrol [[Talos Island]] for Freaks|Secondary=|Additional=|Completion=}}

'''Note:''' This mission requires you to visit 5 locations scattered around Talos Island and click on the police call box there.

'''Debriefing'''

Thanks for stopping those Freakshow assaults, {{Character}}. If we let the Freaks intimidate Paragon City's business men, they may well achieve the anarchy they crave.

Hey, {{Character}}, I got a message from a friend of mine, [[Rondel Jackson|Detective Rondel Jackson]].  Your recent Freakshow encounters have put one of his undercover agents in jeopardy.  It seems the Freaks are beginning to suspect they have a mole, simply because you often happen to be at the right place at the right time.

==== {{UL|Cull the numbers of the Freakshow}} ====

'''Briefing'''

We need to divert suspicion from that undercover agent who infiltrated the [[Freakshow]]. {{Green|I want you to go cull the numbers of the Freakshow.}} If you start taking on Freaks at random, they may begin to realize that you don't have inside information about their activities.

'''Mission Acceptance'''

If this doesn't work, [[Rondel Jackson|Det. Jackson]] may have a hard time pulling his man out of their.

'''Unnecessary Solicitation'''

I need you to take out more Freakshow minions. They're still suspicious of our agent.

{{Mission Objective|Entrance=|Primary=Divert suspicion from mole|Secondary=Defeat 20 Freakshow|Additional=|Completion=You found a list of names on one of the Freakshow you defeated.}}

'''Enemies'''

{{Enemy Freakshow}}

{{Mission Clue|Name=List of names|Text=You recovered this list of names from the body of one of the Freakshow members you defeated.}}

'''Debriefing'''

One of the Freaks was carrying this list? Hmm. I don't recognize any of the names, but I'll ask Det. Jackson. Maybe the list has something to do with that undercover agent he placed among the Freakshow.

==== {{UL|Take the list to Det. Rondel Jackson}} ====

'''Briefing'''

This list of names you found on the [[Freakshow]] may mean something to [[Rondel Jackson|Det. Rondel Jackson]]. {{Green|Would you take the list to Jackson?}} I need to hear his take on it.

'''Mission Acceptance'''

Hopefully, Jackson will be able to make some sense of those names.

'''Unnecessary Solicitation'''

We need another opinion on that list of names.

{{Mission Objective|Entrance=|Primary=Deliver list to Det. Jackson|Secondary=|Additional=|Completion=}}

{{Mission Briefing|Type=Debriefing|Contact=Rondel Jackson|Text=Hmm, it looks like the Freaks put together a list of possible moles in their operation. Wait a minute! This guy, that's our undercover cop! His code name is Iron Hand. Thanks, {{Character}}, I will try to pull him out of their right away.}} 

'''Debriefing'''

So, the Freaks might be wise to that undercover agent? That doesn't sound good for this Iron Hand fellow. I'll see if there's anything else you can do to help.

==== {{UL|Go talk to Det. Jackson}} ====

'''Briefing'''

You should go talk to [[Rondel Jackson|Det. Jackson]].  He's concerned about Iron Hand, that undercover agent he placed with the [[Freakshow]].  It sounds like the agent's in danger, and Det. Jackson could really use your help.

Thanks.  Please do anything Jackson asks of you.

===== {{UL|Talk to Det. Jackson}} =====
{{Mission Objective|Entrance=|Primary=Talk to Det. Jackson|Secondary=|Additional=|Completion=}}

{{Mission Briefing|Type=Briefing|Contact=Rondel Jackson|Text=Thanks for meeting with me.  I haven't heard from Iron Hand all day, and he's not responding to his pager.  His last known location was a Freakshow hideout.  Please get over there and see if you can find any sign of him.  If you learn anything, report back to me.}}

===== {{UL|Defeat base leader and his crew}} =====
{{Mission Objective|Entrance=These sewers have been blocked off by piles of debris.  It looks like the Freaks don't want to be found.|Primary=Defeat base leader and his crew|Secondary=|Additional=|Completion=After questioning the Freakshow gangers, you learn that Iron Hand has left the base.  He's with a group of Freaks who are hell-bent on some secret objective.}}

'''Debriefing'''

Det. Jackson wanted me to pass this on to you.  He said that Iron Hand was deep undercover for a while, but they never thought they'd lose him like that.  It happens every once in a while, most frequently with the Freakshow.  Their hedonistic lifestyle makes it easy for them to ferret out agents, and even easier for the agents to succumb to their self-indulgent ways.  Jackson wanted to extend his thanks to you for your help, and your discretion.

Here, take Iron Hand's police badge.  He won't be needing it, now that he's joined the Freakshow.  And you should have a reminder of the price we all pay to make this city safe.
