Overview

Penelope Yin (Faultline) is a hero contact in the Aftershock neighborhood of Faultline at coordinates (-900, 0, -492.5). Her level range is 15-19. An older version of Penelope Yin is also a Task Force contact in Independence Port; see Penelope Yin Task Force for more details.

Surrounding Penelope Yin and her father's store are a group of benevolent Clockwork soldiers who have dubbed themselves as Penelope's Protectors. They are basically renamed Clockwork, randomly picked from minion, lieutenant or boss type, and will not hesitate to defend Penelope from any potential harm from any enemy mobs, including normal Clockwork. They will con as Ally units to any Heroes in the zone, as well as to any other friendly groups in the zone, such as Longbow or the Paragon Police Department.

Penelope also appears as an ally for The Lady Grey Task Force during the Agree to form a Task Force mission for The Lady Grey (levels 45-50 for both Heroes and Villains). Please see her ally profile for more info.

Penelope Yin is supposedly, the single most powerful psychic on the face of the Earth, and as such is the target of several groups, including the Heroes, the Rikti, and the Clockwork King. The Clockwork King sees her as his "Clockwork Princess", and Penelope mentions several times that he is actually a very nice man to her, but has a real problem with Heroes. As such, he protects her whenever he can, developing a Psychic link with her that allows him to send, or come to her aid. The Rikti have interest in her because her mental abilities are the key to a successful portal back to their own world.

Hey, do you remember Doc Delilah? Duh, everyone remembers her. Anyway, she wanted to talk to you about something.

Doc Delilah

I know you met Doc Delilah already. She is totally amazing. She's smart, she's super-strong, and, well, she's enough to give a normal girl a complex. But she's really nice, too. She came out here because she wanted to explore the old hero bases and dig up, like, history and stuff. Anyway, she said she wanted to talk to you about something important.

Cool. I know that she thinks she found something big, but she's really gonna need help, I can feel it.

Information

Trouble-prone Teenager

The daughter of Wu Yin, owner of Yin's Market, Penelope Yin is a normal girl with a penchant for having strange things occur around her. Many of the heroes who had their bases in Overbrook prior to it's destruction had tales of strange things happening shortly after 'Perilous Penelope' swooped by on her scooter to drop off a delivery from her father's store. Now that the city has begun reconstruction in Faultline, Penelope returned with her father to help re-open Yin's Market. Shortly after their arrival, the local Clockwork began to protect Penelope from danger. No one knows why the Clockwork keep their silent vigil over her safety, and the Clockwork King has issued no announcements on the subject.

Prior to Introduction

I'm sorry, Character. Yin's Market is closed, but it'll be open again when my dad gets back. He'll be back. Any day now.

Initial Contact

You're Character, right? Oh, man, did Jimmy Temblor send you? He and Ann, err, 'Fusionette' have been treating me like a little sister since before...

Everything...

Um, actually, I kinda could use some help. Well, not me, I mean. It's just that my Dad, he's been kidnapped!

Welcome to Yin's Market!
Hiya!
Bet you've been busy!

Too Busy

Wait a second Character. Wow. You're really busy, aren't you? And a lot of it's really important stuff, too. My Dad will be okay for a little while and lots of people need your help. Finish up a few things and hurry back, okay?

Outlevelled Contact

Don't you worry about things. I've got some people coming to help me and my Dad soon. So, you go on and do some of the important stuff you need to do, okay?

Souvenir

Yin's market super-saver card

Before the Faultline Incident, Yin's Market sold groceries to citizen and hero alike, and many a hero with their base in Overbrook had one of these frequent customer cards. Now that Yin's Market has re-opened, it might be handy to keep your new Yin's Market card around. But Mr. Yin might never have been rescued if it wasn't for his daughter Penelope who told you:

'I lost my Daddy!'

It all began when Jim Temblor asked you to help out a friend of his, a girl named Penelope Yin. Penelope's father Wu Yin had run Yin's Market before the Faultline Incident, and now that the city was rebuilding, they'd returned to reopen. Unfortunately, the Lost had taken an interest in them, and tried to kidnap both Penelope and her father. Penelope had escaped due to the interference of some Clockwork, but her father was still in the clutches of the Lost. Penelope had been asking around, and learned that the famous hero historian Dr. Delilah Stein might have uncovered something, but was now cornered by the Vahzilok! You battle through the mad murderists to help Doc Delilah, who went to help Penelope. She also gave you some files she'd uncovered in an abandoned hero base revealing that Bill Temblor, the secret identity of the villain Faultline, had often helped heroes against villains with his scientific acumen. You took that information to Jim Temblor, who seemed able to confirm it, further muddying the waters of history.

Doc Delilah told Penelope that the Lost headman who had tried to kidnap her and her father was named 'Muxley.' You hit the streets for information, and were soon able to find where Muxley was hiding out. While Penelope's father wasn't there, Muxley did tell you where you might be able to find him. He also implied some things about Penelope and what the Lost were doing in Faultline, but wouldn't say more.

With Wu Yin's location, you assaulted a conclave of Lost leaders from all over the city, and got Mr. Yin to safety. Penelope was overjoyed at your success, and Mr. Yin soon re-opened Yin's Market again.

Though the incident ended on a happy note, there were still some questions left unanswered. What was the thing the Lost were looking for, and why did they think they'd need to control Penelope Yin once they'd found it? And the information Doc Delilah had discovered about Bill Temblor's heroic efforts to fight villainy conflicted with his actions in his secret identity as Faultline. If the answers lie in the ruins of the zone, perhaps the person to talk to is the adventuring amazon archaeologist, Doc Delilah.
