=== Information ===
'''Midnight Squad Researcher'''

The [[Midnight Squad]] is but a shadow of its former self, but you wouldn't know it to hear Buck Salinger's stories.  Buck loves re-living the glory days, when the Midnight Squad was [[Paragon City|Paragon City's]] first line of defense against any and all mystical evils.  Buck's not afraid of what's under the bed, what's hiding in the closet, or what's slinking through the shadowed lanes of [[Croatoa]].  His maverick attitude has gotten him in trouble with his bosses in the past, but even they have to admit, Buck knows his stuff and he's got the gumption to see the job through to the finish.

=== Prior to Introduction ===
We haven't met, partner. You should look up {{Active Contact}} instead.

=== Initial Contact ===
Some people say I'm reckless.  Some people say I'm washed up.  But listen to me, and listen good:  I will get you the information you need to save these people.  And I will give you the support you need to come back alive.

=== Greeting ===
* You ready to bust some heads?
* It's time to get it in gear.
* We got work to do, slick. Let's get to it.

=== Too Busy ===
You've got a pretty full plate to be looking for more work.

=== No More Missions ===
I've got nothing to give you, kid. Maybe you should check with your other contacts.

'''Briefing'''

So you're {{Character}}. I've heard good things about you, kid, but you should know, I've worked with the best. The Damsel of Distress. Empyreal. The Crimson Fist. They all worked with me in their heydays, and they all know one thing: I will not let my heroes down. With that in mind, I'd like you to take a quick tour through the Broken Teeth. {{Green|The [[Red Caps]] are out of control in this area, and I need you to help push them back.}}

'''Mission Acceptance'''

The folklore on the [[Red Caps]] is varied and disturbing. Fascinating reading, and not a little scary. These are vile creatures, {{Character}}. Do not underestimate them.

'''Unnecessary Solicitation'''

I'd like to see you take out a few more Red Caps.

{{Mission Objective|Entrance=|Primary=Combat Red Caps in Broken Teeth|Secondary=Defeat 10 Red Caps|Additional=|Completion=You have decreased the number of Red Caps in the area.}}

'''Enemies'''

{{Enemy Red Caps}}

'''Debriefing'''

Thanks, {{Character}}. I'll be honest with you: that was a test. I believe in giving my all to the heroes I work with, but I like to know whether they're going to give me the same in return. Keep it up, and I believe you'll stake a claim on history yourself.
