Information
Military Analyst
Christine Lansdale is a retired Air Force officer who now works as a military analyst for the armed forces as well as several private groups. She has recently begun doing some consulting for the Freedom Corps, whose non-profit ideology she prefers to the corporate culture of Hero Corps, one of her long-standing clients. Christine specializes in demystifying the military process for civilian companies and heroes who are trying to work with the armed forces. She has many friends and contacts on both sides of the fence, so she serves as a valuable intermediary between the secretive and suspicious military and the prideful and sometimes reckless heroes.

Story Arc
Thwart the assassination attempt
Briefing
There've been rumors circulating in the underground that the Sky Raiders are planning to assassinate T'mbe Alwani, the Ambassador from the African country of West Libertalia. I need someone to thwart that assassination attempt. Are you up to it?
If anything happens to the ambassador, we'll have to call this mission a failure. You had better bring along some extra emergency teleporters just in case.
Ambassador Alwani must be protected. If he dies, we could well have an international incident on our hands.
Mission Objective(s)
You hear a shout and a loud crash. Then silence.
- Stop Sky Raider assassination
- 3 people to rescue
- Take Ambassador to exit
You defeated the Sky Raiders and saved the ambassador and his entourage.
 |
A mysterious statement |
| One of the men you rescued told you:
'I can't tell you what this was about, but if you want to learn, then maybe we can help each other out. I think we may have a mutual acquaintance we can work through. Your friend should get a message from me soon.' |
Notable NPCs
- American diplomat (NPC Ally)
- General Z (NPC Ally)
- Ambassador Alwani (NPC Ally)
Debriefing
These flying mercenaries the ambassador described sound like the Sky Raiders. There have been rumors of high tech flying mercenaries working globally, and the Raiders' attempt on the Ambassador's life only confirm it.
Recover the stolen evidence
Briefing
I just got a strange message from someone calling himself General Z. According to him, the evidence that the Sky Raiders stole from Ambassador Alwani is being held in an old unused warehouse. If you can recover this stolen evidence, it could bring Sky Raider foreign operations to a halt.
That evidence should be enough to link the Sky Raiders to dozens of illegal operations in Africa.
Mission Objective(s)
According to the mysterious General Z, Ambassador Alwani's evidence is being held in this warehouse.
- Recover the stolen evidence
|
West Libertalian records |
| This extensive body of evidence makes it clear that the Sky Raiders are behind the terrorist actions in West Libertalia. Photos, eyewitness accounts, and recovered Sky Raider Equipment all corroborate the story. |
Debriefing
Those West Libertalians are really thorough. Look at all of this evidence. There's no question that the Sky Raiders have been involved in those raids against Ambassador Alwani's Country.
Check the warehouse
Briefing
I got another tip from this mysterious General Z. He thinks it would be a good idea to investigate a local warehouse that's storing some equipment manufactured by Lockhart Aerotech. He mentioned that the records at the warehouse could give us some more information on the Sky Raiders' mercenary actions in West Libertalia. Considering his last time, maybe you should check out this warehouse.
These little tips from General Z seem to be good as gold. I wonder who he is?
Mission Objective(s)
General Z's second tip has led you to this Lockhart Aerotech warehouse. The first thing you notice is that there seems to be no one here to meet you.
- Recover records from warehouse
- Seek evidence
- Speak with foreman
You found that the equipment stolen from Lockhart Aerotech was being used by Sky Raiders in West Libertalia.
|
Warehouse records |
| These records show a consistent pattern of thefts from this warehouse. Every two weeks, a batch of advanced parts comes into the warehouse; these parts are always stolen on the following night. The serial numbers on the stolen equipment match those on the Sky Raider gear seized by the West Libertalian government. |
|
Advanced parts |
| This box and many others like it are full of advanced parts produced by Lockhart Aerotech. |
|
The foreman's story |
| When you rescued the warehouse foreman, he told you:
'I guess you could say I'm used to those Sky Raiders by now. They raid this place on a regular basis, but my bosses don't want me to call the police on account of insurance costs. I just keep my head down and record what they take.' |
Notable NPCs
- Warehouse forman (Hostage)
Debriefing
The mysterious General Z was right; these records are most illuminating. It seems the Sky Raiders have been stealing tech from Lockhart for a long time. Then they've been using that technology in their mercenary campaign in West Libertalia. But from the records you found at Lockhart's warehouse, I'm not sure you interrupted a theft at all. More like a regular supply run. I'm going to have some people I know look into this.
Capture the fugitive politician
Briefing
We got another message from the mysterious General Z. He says that you should talk to a senator named Gil Armand about his foreign policy work. He even knows where to find him, which is something the police may be interested in. Gil Armand was indicted just this morning for connections to the Sky Raiders. The police took most of his papers as evidence, but Armand himself disappeared. If you could capture this fugitive politician, we could get two jobs done at once.
According to General Z, you'll be able to find Gil Armand in an unused section of the sewers.
Mission Objective(s)
This old section of the sewers seems like the perfect hiding place for a traitor.
- Capture Armand and his guards
You captured Gil Armand, the traitorous politician.
|
Gil Armand's story |
| When you captured him, Gil Armand spat out:
'Foolish hero! You may have caught me, but I will tell you nothing. Even as we speak, my brothers within the Sky Raiders have already stolen all the evidence that implicates me. You'll never find our secret base or retrieve your precious evidence. |
Notable NPCs
- Gil Armand (Captain)
Debriefing
It looks like Senator Armand wasn't lying. The Sky Raiders hit the police van that was carrying all the evidence tying Armand to their organization. You got Armand himself, at least. That's one fewer villain out on the streets.
Get the evidence back from the Sky Raiders
Briefing
General Z just sent me the location of a Sky Raider base we should be interested in . According to Z, this base is where the Sky Raiders are keeping the evidence that links Senator Gil Armand to their organization. The police sure would like to see that evidence returned. Of course, you'll have to go through the Sky Raiders to get it back. Can you do it?
I feel nervous sending you out on this one. General Z's tips have been good so far, but I still haven't been able to learn his identity.
Mission Objective(s)
You know that this is going to be dangerous, but the only way you're going to reach the truth is by fighting through the Sky Raiders to get there.
- Recover evidence from Sky Raiders
- 4 files to recover
You have recovered all the evidence from the Sky Raiders Base.
|
Non-Conventional Force Deployment |
| This government document, authored by the traitorous Senator Armand, proposes using a mercenary force for deniable black operations around the world. It specifically points to the Sky Raiders as prime candidates, citing Colonel Virgil Duray's strong sense of loyalty to the United States, despite his current rogue status. The document's signers include high-ranking military man and several prominent military contractors, among them one Tyrone Lockhart of Lockhart Aerotech. |
Debriefing
I can't believe this government document. It's incendiary! It proposes using the Sky Raiders as mercenaries for illegal government operations. And it squarely states that Colonel Duray and the missing members of Vigilance didn't die, but went rogue. This could destroy the careers of numerous people in the military and intelligence community. I'll make sure that everything gets back to the police, and that copies of this paper get to the right people. This General Z isn't playing games.
Head to the Lockhart Aerotech office
Briefing
General Z's tips have led us to some remarkable conclusions, and I think we need to follow up on them. In particular, 'd like to know
I'd sure like to know why Tyrone Lockhart is advocating government use of mercenaries. The same mercenaries who are supposed to be stealing from his company, no less!
Mission Objective(s)
It's no visual clue that tips you off to the Sky Raiders' presence. It's the subtle whiff of gun polish.
- Seek evidence at Lockhart
- 4 bombs left, 3 clues left
You've prevented the Sky Raiders from destroying both the Aerotech office and the evidence you found there.
|
Research budget |
| Buried within the lines of this research budget are appropriations fro a special laboratory. This lab is assigned to research jet pack propulsion; it looks like it could be a secret factory for Sky Raider equipment. |
|
Incriminating photo |
| This picture shows Tyrone Lockhart, majority owner of Lockhart Aerotech, standing near a prototype jet pack with three other men. One of them is identifiable as Col. Virgil Duray, leader of the Sky Raiders. A second is clearly Wayne Evans, the deceased hero Indomitable. The third man is an older military officer identified as General Aarons. He looks quite familiar. |
|
Order forms |
| These order forms seem perfectly normal at first glance. However, closer inspection reveals that they list the items the Sky Raiders have stolen from Lockhart Aerotech over the last few months. |
Debriefing
It's a good thing you got there when you did, or the Sky Raiders would have bombed that Lockhart office to smithereens. A lot of people owe you their lives today.
I guess the Sky Raiders were trying to destroy this evidence you found. And I can see why! This strongly hints that Lockhart Aerotech is working with the Sky Raiders. In the right hands, it's enough to start an investigation, at the very least.
Protect the research facility
Briefing
We have another tip from General Z. It seems the Sky Raiders are going to clear out that secret research facility you learned about. They don't want any evidence of their connection to Lockhart Aerotech to fall into your hands. Can you protect that research facility and prevent a massacre?
Most of those researchers probably didn't even know that their hard work was going to help the Sky Raiders.
Mission Objective(s)
The security system is already offline. You only hope the Sky Raiders haven't finished their grim work.
- Defeat lead Raider, his guards
- Save technician!, 3 clues to find
You saved the researchers and kept the Sky Raiders from acquiring the lab's prototypes.
|
Prototype parts |
| These are plans and early prototypes for advanced versions of several key Sky Raider technologies. |
|
Nemesis weapons |
| The brass fittings and delicate filigree mark these weapons as Nemesis' technology. Each piece is in perfect condition. You have to wonder how Lockhart Aerotech obtained them. |
|
Research records |
| These detailed notes show that the direction of this facility's research was often based on mandates from the company CEO, Tyrone Lockhart. The researchers specialized in reverse engineering acquired technology. |
|
The researcher's story |
| When you rescued the researcher, he told you:
'I was told to shut down the lab's security system pending an upgrade today. We needed the upgrade to provide extra security for the military team that's coming to see our new prototypes. I hear they're looking into the creation of a new Vigilance team!' |
Notable NPCs
- Technician (Hostage)
Debriefing
Looks like General Z pointed us in the right direction again. Not only is all the evidence linking the Sky Raiders to Lockhart Aerotech still intact, but you've also kept those flying mercenaries from getting their hands on those new weapon prototypes.
Rescue General Aarons
Briefing
General Z just contacted me by phone, but he got cut off in the middle of our conversation. And I think I know why. Channel 6 just ran a story about the Sky Raiders attacking a private jet in flight. According to the newscaster, the Sky Raiders kidnapped retured General Howard Aarons.
Looks like the Sky Raiders may have figured out Z's identity and decided to strike against him. I need you to rescue General Aarons. After all he's done for us, it's the least we can do. Take this spare emergency teleporter, just in case.
General Aarons put himself on the line to get all of this information about the Sky Raiders into the open.
Mission Objective(s)
The Sky Raiders are sure to put up a fight, but you're ready for anything they can throw at you.
- Rescue General Aarons
- Seek clues, Unlock back room
You rescued General Aarons from the Sky Raiders.
|
Key |
| You took this key from a Sky Raiders' safe. You hope it will get you to General Aarons. |
|
Lockhart Aerotech supplies |
| These boxes contain supplies that were supposedly stolen from Lockhart Aerotech over the last few weeks. |
Notable NPCs
- H.A.V.O.C. (Jump Bot)
- Mysterious Soldier (Nemesis Lieutenant)
- General Z (NPC Ally)
Debriefing
All the evidence about the military connection to the Sky Raiders has gone on to the proper people. My military contacts have reported a sudden flash of resignations going high up the chain of command. Also, I think you'd be interested to know that the FBI has started an investigation into Tyrone Lockhart, CEO of Lockhart Aerotech. It seems they don't appreciate his company's efforts to supply the Sky Raiders with technology.
You've wrapped this one up nicely. But one thing still bothers me. That lab with the new Sky Raider gear. They were reverse engineering technology that looked like it belonged to Nemesis. Yes, Nemesis. The arch-villain who tried to take over the United States during the 1940's. No one's heard from him in 60 years, but that technology looked brand new. Puzzling, puzzling. Maybe we'll learn more about this one day.
Missions
Go to the warehouse and recover anything you find there
Briefing
Investigations by some contacts of mine have located one of the main storage warehouses for the Family's smuggling operation in Independence Port. Now all I need is a hero willing to go to that warehouse and recover anything there. Hopefully, there might be something there that could link them to one of the European syndicates.
If the operation's ringleader is there, I want him arrested. Otherwise, I'm afraid this mission will be a failure.
Search the place thouroughly; we need to recover everything they have. Most importantly, do not let the ringleader escape. He's certain to have valuable information for us.
Mission Objective(s)
- Recover Family contraband
- 4 crates to search
- Don't let Draco escape!
Clue Superadine
The label on this Superadine sample is in Italian. It would appear that the Family has connections in Europe.
Clue Sforza Horse
You found the Sforza Horse.
This valuable 'objet d'art' was stolen from a shipment on its way to the Paragon City Museum from Milan.
Clue Counterfeit Euro's
You found counterfeit Euro's.
The bundles of bogus bills in here are difficult to identify as counterfeits
Clue Draco talks
When you captured the smuggling ring's leader, Draco, he said: 'I'll tell you alls you wants to know! Just don't put me back out on the street after a failure like this!'
Notable NPCs
- Draco (Underboss)
Debriefing
You hit the jackpot! Superadine samples that were ready for shipping to Europe, couterfeit foreign bills, and a valuable art treasure stolen on it's way here. This will go a long way in bringing these thugs down.
Check the research facility...
Briefing
The Sky Raiders were recently stealing Rikti technology for a European crime syndicate. Interpol caught the syndicate's buyers, but not the Sky Raider contacts. Officially, the case is closed, but I think the Sky Raiders may try to make some side money by stealing more Rikti technology. We have their list of targets facilities, and I've been asking heroes to check things out. Could you go to one of the targeted facilities and make certain that Dr. Brandon Bradley and his people are safe?
If the Sky Raiders are going to attack that lab, you'll have your work cut out for you. Ensuring the safety of Dr. Bradley and his people will be your to priority. Also, the Sky Raiders employed jump-bots on each of the previous thefts, so if they do hit this place, you'll have to take it out too.
Mission Objective(s)
- Defeat leader Raider, his guards
- 2 technicians to save, Find Dr. Bradley
Clue: Dr. Bradley conversation
When you rescued him, Dr. Bradley told you:
'It's lucky you arrived when you did. The Sky Raiders were going to take anything that wasn't bolted fast! They wouldn't have found much here, however, as we had just transferred much of the Rikti technology we had been studying to another facility. However, they spoke of being on a tight schedule to finish this series of raids, so I'm afraid they may be planning to strike other locations.

Hit the streets and defeat a few Sky Raiders
Briefing
The Sky Raiders have been increasing the tempo of their operations, apparently they think that a couple of sucesses against some of the city's younger heroes makes them unstoppable. I'd like to see them get stopped, hard, and I would like to see you do it.
