Information
Former Heroine
In the early days of the Statesman's costumed career, he worked with a woman called Madame Danger. Maria Jenkins, as she called in her other identity, was his closest friend and confidant for many years. Slowly her powers began to fade with time but she was aging quite slowly. When she met Statesman in the 1930's she appeared to be in her mid twenties. Although she is retired, Maria certainly does not look over a hundred years of age. Maria has been out of the limelight for some time, but was one of the first to realize that Statesman was missing. This frightening conclusion has caused her to become more actively involved in things.

Take down Nightstar
Briefing: Black Shroud Dimension
Are you familiar wiht the Praetorian version of Luminary? She calls herself Nightstar, and she's a self-aware robot like Siege, only she seems a little bit crazy. She believes her power comes from a place called 'the Black Shroud', another dimension that she recently gained access to.
We have gotten word from the resistance that she is making her monthly pilgramage to the Black Shroud dimension, and this would be a perfect time to strike, taking her down without fear of Praetorian reprisal. We need you to go to the Black Shroud dimension and take down Nightstar, can you pull this off for us, Character?
- Go to the Black Shroud dimension and take down Nightstar
You'll want to check the rooftops for Nightstar and her minions. That's where they can usually be found.
Unnecessary Solicitation
This is our best time to strike!
Mission Objective(s)
The Black Shroud dimension is cloaked in eternal night. Strange forces are at play here.
- Take down Nightstar
- Defeat Nightstar & her guards
You defeated Nightstar.

So, Nightstar really believes that she possesses the power of an entire dimension? Well, I guess for all I know, it could be true. After all, there are more things in Paragon City than are dreamt of in your philosophy, Character. True or not, Nightstar will be licking her wounds for a time. You've weakened a big threat, my friend; you should be proud.

Defeat Marauder and destroy the portal
Briefing: The Marauder's Cell
I heard you were responsible for taking down Marauder, Anti-Matter, and Neuron earlier this month. They got tossed in the Zig, but while they were setting up their 'special containment', they each broke out.
Neuron and Anti-Matter had the smarts to figure out how to portal back to Praetoria, but Marauder got left behind. I heard he gathered up the remnants of the invasion force he brough here and they are holed up in a warehouse. They are planning something big and I need you to go in and take him down. You've done it once, I know you can do it again.
- Wipe out Marauder's cell
Marauder may have his metal mits on a portal back to Praetoria. If you find it, destroy it, it's better he's here where we can keep a closer eye on him.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Marauder's recapture is your number one priority, Kleon.
Mission Objective(s)
Scuff marks on the floor testify to lots of recent activity.
- Defeat Marauder and destroy the portal

Souvenir

Bug! At this time it seems the souvenir for this arc is not awarding correctly |
Part One: Fix the scanner
By now you know, Praetoria and it's tyrannical Emperor Cole is the single greatest threat to our dimension. Portal Corporation and Vanguard have been doing everything they can to combat that threat. Several heroes, including yourself, have been instrumental in the capture and containment of several of the Praetorian Guard: Anti-Matter, Neuron, Marauder, Nightstar, Battle Maiden, the list goes on and on. Unfortunately these villains can not be contained in a facility such as the Zig, as they have the resources of an entire dimension at their disposal. It seems that several powerful Loyalist members have taken the opportunity to break the Praetorian Guard out of prison and take them back to their home dimension.
This is unfortunate, but not completely unexpected. I had hoped we could keep them contained at least a little while longer.
A few weeks ago, Tina Macintyre had set up Dimensional Scanners in the forests of Praetoria, and these have been a godsend in our efforts. Vanguard has even been able to piggy-back communication intercept software onto those scanners, so we are getting a good idea on troop movements as well as the current political structure of Praetoria. However, one of those scanners has gone off-line and we need someone powerful to return to Praetoria and repair or replace it. Can you do this for us, Character?
- Fix the scanner
Just like last time, that place is crawling with Devouring Earth.
Unnecessary Solicitation
I need to know the status of that data scanner.
Mission Objective(s)
You are unsure which trees are trees, and which trees want to kill you.
- Repair or replace the scanner
- Set up the Scanner
- Defeat Chimera
- Set up the Scanner
You found the data scanner.

Debriefing
So Chimera found one of our scanners? That is unfortunate. I wonder if he had time to tell the other Praetorians about it. Vanguard didn't pick up any such comminique, but Chimera has some undetectable communication methods.
Part Two: Check on the scanners
Damn, it looks like Chimera was able to get a signal off before you defeated him. All the scanners in Praetoria just died. We need to send you back to that forest and see what happened. It might be a jammer, or it might be that they destroyed them all.
If Emperor Cole is planning something big, we can't be blindsided. If the scanners are being jammed, find the source and unjam it. If they are destroyed or disabled, finish the job so they don't get their hands on any tech they might have left behind.
- Check on the scanners
I'd say those scanners are more trouble than they were worth, but they've kept us aprised of the situation in Praetoria for weeks.
Unnecessary Solicitation
We still don't know what's going on why all those data scanners went dead. Character, go find out!
Mission Objective(s)
No signs of any jamming signals. Looks like the scanners themselves have been compromised. Destroy them all.
- Check on the Dimensional Scanners
- Destroy the scanners! (Four scanners to destroy)
With the scanners destroyed, the Praetorians will not be able to reverse engineer them. One scanner could not be located however, it was simply... gone.
Enemies
 |
A scanner is missing |
| There were five scanners in Praetoria, but only four could be located and destroyed. One of them is missing. |
Debriefing
One scanner was missing? It's bound to show up sooner or later, and we'll have to deal with it. I hate the fact that we are blind to Praetoria right about now.
Part Three: Go to Praetoria and destroy the stolen scanner
Briefing
It seems that the lone scanner we couldn't locate just started transmitting again, only it's not in the forest, it's in Underground Praetoria. Looks like the militant arm of the Resistance has the scanner and are trying to figure out what to do with it. Of course, if the Praetorian Guard know this too, they'll send some of their best operatives to retrieve it from the Resistance. I need you to go and destroy that scanner, we can't let it fall into either group's hands.
- Go to Praetoria and destroy the stolen scanner
Those scanners were built with state of the art technology. There's no telling what the Praetorians can learn from it.
Unnecessary Solicitation
We can not let that scanner fall into enemy hands!
Mission Objective(s)
- Defeat Praetorians, destroy stolen scanner
- Defeat Nightstar
- Destroy the Scanner
- Defeat Nightstar
You have destroyed the Scanner that was stolen by the Resistance and defeated Nightstar.

Excellent. We've destroyed all the scanners we've deployed to Praetoria. That is a huge relief. We had some tech in there that would be extremely dangerous in the hands of Neuron or Anti-Matter.
Part Four: Destroy all evidence of Vanguard's software
Briefing
Looks like I spoke too soon. Even though you destroyed all the scanners on Praetoria, Neuron got his hands on Vanguard's communication software. That's got a collapsing algorithm that he can use to piggy-back on our communications channels like we were doing to theirs, and that's not good. We need to get to Neuron's mainframe and remove all traces of that software. Vanguard is willing to offer up one of their best, Serpent Drummer, to assist in this mission. I am getting the coordinates to Neuron's lab now.
- Destroy all evidence of Vanguard's software
In Neuron's hands, that software is extremely dangerous. Purge every copy you can find.

Briefing
Bobcat mentioned that Neuron was already using the software? Hmm, our communication channels might already be compromised. If I were you I'd portal directly into Neuron's HQ and stop whatever insane plan he has cooked up. We don't have time to piece together exactly what he might be doing. I am going to call Maria Jenkins and see if she'll send one of her personal friends along to help.

Part Five: Investigate Warrior Earth
Briefing
I really wonder what Emperor Cole has up his sleeves. I mean, I want to think we stopped whatever plan he had cooked up, but I have a bad feeling that we may have just accelerated his time table.
Statesman has been doing some of his own investigation and believes that there is a clue to Cole's plan somewhere on Warrior Earth, the place where Battle Maiden and Valkyrie got their powers. He wants you to meet him there so he can assist your investigation.
- Go to Warrior Earth and meet Statesman.
Battle Maiden may be there, so you might want to bring other allies along with you.

Using other dimensions as staging grounds, eh? Doing that gives them even more of an edge against us. We're going to need to check out other dimensions that the Praetorians have access to.
Part Six: Save Portal Corporation
Briefing
Tina Macintyre and I were looking up those other dimensions that the Praetorians frequent. Nightstar has that nighttime dimension, and Black Swan has that version of the Shadow Shard she created. Tina said she opened a portal to Shadow World and a whole slew of those living shadow minions of Black Swan's streamed out. They are all over Portal Corporation causing all sorts of destruction and panic. I need you to get over there A.S.A.P. and stop those Shadows!
- Rescue Portal Corp from the shadow invasion!
Just check in with me to get over to Portal Corporation!

Shadow Earth is Black Swan's personal dimension. She created it using similar methods that the Midnight Squad created the Shadow Shard to imprison Rulaaru.
- Talk to Tina Macintyre about going to the Shadow World
Statesman's already on his way, you'd best not be late.
Unnecessary Solicitation

Sister Psyche thinks that Mother Mayhem's insanity may be behind Statesman's abduction. On Praetoria, Praetor Tilman, 'Mother', runs the Mother of Mercy Psychiatric Hospital. That is her public facing headquarters. Her nasty side shows up in her secret asylum. If they are going to try to pry secrets out of Marcus' brain, they'd do it there. Sister Psyche wants to team up with you and take down that asylum. She'll meet you on the other side of the portal.
- Search the asylum with Sister Psyche
Statesman and I used to adventure together, you know. If the Praetorians have done anything to him, they'll have me to deal with.

Briefing
Diabolique is Emperor Cole's personal ghost. She's bound to him and has no free will of her own, if she's involved then Emperor Cole is defintely pulling the strings. The Praetorian Infernal acts as her bodyguard on occassion, if they have Statesman, it's going to be a tough fight. I need you to get to Infernal's Lair and see if they have him.
Infernal keeps his lair in the tunnels system under Praetoria. You'll likely encounter Resistance as well, and they tend to shoot first and ask questions later.
- Search Infernal's lair for any sign of Statesman
Statesman is one of the greatest heroes I have ever met, and I've made the acquaintance of quite a few.
I'll call around and try to get you some backup.

Debriefing
Excellent work, uncovering that Hyper Advanced Clockwork before it could infiltrate probably saved all of Paragon City and maybe even the entire planet. One last thing to do is find the real Statesman and I think I know just where he might be.
The Final Chapter: Rescue Statesman
A few years back when we first uncovered Praetoria, Statesman was kidnapped by Tyrant and held in bonds. We had a theory that Statesman and Tyrant were nearly identical and that lead us to believe that Statesman was powerless to their technology. What a load of bunk that turned out to be! We thought those bonds held him because of that theory, but we recently deduced that those bonds themselves are powered by the Praetorian Well of the Furies. They are the only thing in the multi-verse that can hold an Incarnate like Statesman.
If Emperor Cole is keeping Statesman alive, he'll have him in those exact same bonds. It's the only way he can keep him from escaping. If that's truly the case, we know exactly where to portal you in to save him.
- Free Statesman
I doubt Emperor Cole will show his face at this point, but the guards he will have placed will be very powerful. Good luck.

Battle the Praetorian threat
Note: This is usually the first mission that you receive from Maria.
Briefing
You may be aware, Character, that Portal Corporation has faced down some serious threats from the dimension they've designated Upsilon Beta 9-6. Otherwise known as Praetorian Earth. It's a dimension ruled by brutal supervillains who seem intent on claiming our world for their own. Portal scientists have done a lot of research into the Praetorian dimension, and they believe they've identified weaknesses for each of the Praetorian supervillains. I'm about to send you on some of the most critical missions you'll ever carry out. You've got to battle this new threat at it's source: Praetorian Earth.
The dangers you face on that world will be monstrous. I'd recommend always bringing a few friends along for backup.
Mission Acceptance
Your first task is to prevent the villain Infernal from summoning more demons to bind within his spectral armor. I need you to get to Infernal's lair and destroy his summoning altar.

Run a patrol for Warwork activity
Briefing
Tyra-, err 'Emperor Cole' has taken to sending scouts of his Warworks robots into Peregrine Island recently. I need you to run a patrol sweep, tagging the patrol boxes as you go, to check for any Warwork incursions.
- Run a patrol for Warwork activity
If you see anything, and I mean anything, we need to know about it.

You have ensured Peregrine Island's safety.
Debriefing
Thanks for doing your part to keep Peregrine Island safe. Make no mistake about it, if the Praetorians ever manage to mount an invasion, Peregrine Island will be ground zero. It's up to heroes like you to make sure they can't get a foothold on the area.
Take down Chimera at his training facility
Briefing
Chimera. Manticore's evil twin as it were. He's just as big a mystery in Praetoria as he is on this world, but a woman named Belladonna knows exactly where to find him. Turns out she used to be one of his assassins, but now she's part of the Resistance. We can portal you in directly into the training facility and you can take down Chimera and drag him back here for incarceration. Simple job, but he is extremely deadly, so bring some help.
- Take down Chimera at his training facility
Chimera's ninjas are stealthy and smart. You'll have to be the same if you want to succeed.
Unnecessary Solicitation
That training facility was still in operation last time I checked.
Mission Objective(s)
Chimera's training facility is hidden away in this forgotten graveyard.
- Defeat Chimera & his guards
You defeated Chimera.

Debriefing
That ninja camp you shut down was one of Praetorian Earth's best facilities for churning out smart, well-trained troops. With it gone, we can all breathe a little easier. We've got Chimera contained as best we can in the Zig. Some days I wish we could go back to the Cold Storage method of containing the really awful villains. It kept Reichsman off the street for the longest time.
Stop Mother Mayhem
Briefing
Sister Psyche's Praetorian counterpart is called Praetor Tilman by those who back Cole's regime, and Mother Mayhem by those who oppose it. The reason I'm telling you this is that SHE'S ATTACKING PARAGON CITY RIGHT NOW!
Sorry, I'm in sort of panic mode right this second. She's over in Waxahachie Business Park with a whole slew of those creepy Seers and IDF soldiers. I don't know what her ultimate plan is, but she's definitely up to something to come to our world. I need you to get to that business park and take her down. You are our best hope in stopping whatever she has cooked up.
- Stop Mother Mayhem
You'll need to take the Monorail to get to Waxahachie Park. Remember, Mother Mayhem's Seers are brainwashed psychics from Praetoria. Most of them don't even know a life outside of being one of her psychic puppets.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Waxahachie Park is still in the grip of Mother Mayhem and her Seers!
Mission Objective(s)
Upon exiting the monorail you have a splitting headache.

Prevent Shadowhunter's resurrection
Briefing
A while back we had intel on a Praetorian version of Woodsman called Shadowhunter. It seems that the Praetorian version's fate has caught up to that of his Primal counterpart and he's now dead. Killed by the Devouring Earth that rule the areas outside of Praetoria. Unfortunately this man killed tons of people and left thier bodies strewn throughout the forests, unconsecrated. Because of his nature, these bodies have the ability to ressurect him and he'll be a threat once again. I need you to go to Shadowhunter's former lair and consecrate the bodies strewn about there. Doing this will keep him dead a little while longer. Watch out for the Devouring Earth, they are just as vicious, if not moreso, in Praetoria.
- Go to Shadowhunter's lair and consecrate the bones
This may be a tactical strike, but it's also a mission of mercy. You'll be freeing many trapped and miserable spirits.
Unnecessary Solicitation
I need you to get to Shadowhunter's lair and consecrate those bone
Here's a bottle of holy water. Use it sparingly, Character; from what I understand, Shadowhunter has many victims.
|
Holy Water |
| This flask of water has been blessed by Father Hanrahan, one of Paragon City's many priests. By sprinkling it over the bones of Shadowhunter's victims, you can weaken the villain's power. |
Mission Objective(s)
Shadowhunter dared to live out among the Devouring Earth. It was only a matter of time before he was caught and killed.
- Prevent Shadowhunter's ressurection
- 15 bones to consecrate
You consecrated the bones of Shadowhunter's victims, preventing his ressurection.

Good work, Character. We need to do this occassionally to prevent Shadowhunter's resurrection. I will seek out a more permanent solution.
Defeat Black Swan, find her power source
Black Swan is somewhat of an enigma. A few years back she was a major player in Praetoria, but her power seems to have waned in the meantime. It is apparent that Emperor Cole has a stranglehold on the Magic of Praetoria, so Black Swan is taking whatever she can get. She seems to strengthen her power by visits to an alternate dimension known as the Shadow World. We need you to go to the Shadow World and find out what she is doing to keep her power, and take her down if possible. Cutting off her power supply will deal a huge blow to the Praetorian power base.
- Cut off Black Swan's source of power
She's doing something to gain more power, we just need to determine what.

I need you to stop whatever it is Black Swan is doing.

Merit Rewards: This activity awards 2 Reward Merits through Flashback only. |
Briefing
Hold onto your hat. I've got a lead on a Praetorian incursion into Paragon City itself. It seems that Marauder has set up a miltary base over on Peregrine Island! I don't have to tell you that there are a lot of valuable military targets on that island. Nor do I have to tell you how quickly this situation could become deadly. You've got to get to Peregrine Island and wipe out Marauder's cell.
Mission Acceptance
It may be that Marauder has a stable portal back to his home world. If so, you'll need to destroy it.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Marauder's infiltration cell is the single greatest threat to Paragon City security.

From what I've heard, Marauder is the most dedicated of Tyrant's lackeys. It's disturbing that he found his way into Paragon City and went so far as to set up a base. I've asked Portal Corporation to keep a tighter lock on any unauthorized portal activity. In the meantime, I hope you'll be prepared to help me defend Paragon City from any future invasions.
Disrupt Nightstar's ritual

Merit Rewards: This activity awards 1 Reward Merit through Flashback only. |
Briefing
Are you familiar with the Praetorian villain who calls herself Nightstar? I've heard some strange things about her. She's an intelligent robot, like Siege, but the difference is that she seems to be a little bit crazy. She believes that her power comes from a galaxy contained within her robotic armor. Every month, she goes out under the night sky to commune with the stars. If you could disrupt her ritual, her minions might start to doubt her. Even more importantly, she might start to doubt herself.
Mission Acceptance
You'll want to check the rooftops for Nightstar and her minions. That's where they can usually be found.

You've weakened a big threat, my friend; you should be proud.

Souvenir
Statesman's face plate
Statesman sent you one of his face plates as a token of his gratitude. You like to keep it with you, as a reminder of the mission you've come to think of as:
A Hero's Hero
It began with a request from Portal Corporation. One of the data scanners they were using to monitor Praetorian Earth had gone dead. You investigated, and learned that the war wolf the scanner had been attached to had been slaughtered. The scanner had been deactivated in an effort to lure you to the Praetorian world.
Portal Corporation's problems had just begun. Shortly, all of their scanners went dead, and you were sent to investigate once more. You learned that the scanners had been sent to the Praetorian villain, Siege.
Portal Corporation deemed the Praetorian seizure of the scanners to be a serious security risk, so you were sent to Siege's storage facility to recover them. You learned that the scanners had been sent on, to a lab belonging to the Praetorians' twisted engineer, Neuron.
You were next sent to Neuron's lab, where you found most of the scanners. You also learned that a few scanners had been sent to a second facility, where they were being modified to serve some dark purpose. Thanks to Tina Macintyre's skill with dimensional mechanics, you were able to locate the second lab and retrieve the last of the scanners. While there, you learned a shocking fact: the scanners were being modified so that the Praetorians could scan Statesman. Paragon City's most beloved hero was in the Praetorians' clutches!
While at Neuron's lab, you made one other discovery: a warrior clan from Battle Maiden's home world was trying to contact Neuron. They promised to swear allegiance to him if he would help rid them of Battle Maiden's tyranny. You resolved to help the clan, and perhaps learn a bit more about the Praetorians' plans. You saved the clan's village and rescued Kawago, the clan elder. Unfortunately, you learned nothing about Statesman's imprisonment or the Praetorians' plans for him.
You resolved to continue the search, but an emergency in a Paragon City neighborhood distracted you. People were being attacked by their own shadows. You went to the neighborhood, and found that Black Swan's shadow minions were behind the mischief. You beat them back, and learned that they had mentioned a prisoner on Black Swan's Shadow World.
With a little help from Tina Macintyre, you tracked Black Swan to her home dimension and rescued her prisoner. Although you were disappointed to learn that the prisoner was a young man named Julio Jimenez, you were intrigued by his story. It seemed that he had been taken from his own dimension. Black Swan had kidnapped Julio for information about his world's ruler, but the young man was too terrified of his master to even speak.
Once again, you had hit a dead end in your search for Statesman. Fortunately, Portal Corporation hadn't. they had turned up a likely location: a Praetorian asylum run by the cruel Mother Mayhem and her vicious lackey, Malaise. You searched the asylum, but found no sign of Statesman.
Portal Corporation provided another lead: a mystical torture chamber under the control of Infernal and Diabolique. You battled the villains valiantly, but, once again, you turned up no leads.
Your investigation was put on hold once more when the Praetorians Marauder and Dominatrix invaded a Portal Corporation lab. You repelled the invaders and rescued the Portal technicians. One of them had cleverly scanned Dominatrix, after overhearing her mention a recent conversation with Statesman.
You now had the location of Statesman's prison, along with enough information to free him. You battled the evil Tyrant himself, breaking Statesman's bonds and allowing him to make his escape.
Paragon City is a little brighter now, with Statesmen back among its people. There's no doubt that you, like Statesman, have earned a place among the city's brightest stars.
Fix the scanner
Briefing
I'm sure you're aware of the great threat that Praetorian Earth poses to our dimension, Character. Portal Corporation has been doing everything it can to combat that threat. Through the efforts of our hero liaisons, several of the Praetorians were incarcerated; however an extradimensional event at the Zig recently freed the lot of them. That fact makes me all the more nervous about the following development:
Recently we asked some heroes to plant data scanners on a pack of war wolves on Praetorian Earth. The scanners' primary purpose was to keep us appraised of the Praetorians' efforts to enter our dimension, but they have also been providing us with valuable information on troop movements, technological advances, and shifts of power within the Praetorian world itself. One of the scanners stopped transmitting just this morning. I need you to get to Praetorian Earth and fix that scanner.
Mission Acceptance
When the scanner went dead, it was somewhere in the abandoned graveyard I'm sending you to.
Unnecessary Solicitation
I need to know the status of that data scanner.
Mission Objective(s)
As you step into this abandoned graveyard on Praetorian Earth, you feel certain you're being watched.
- Find the dead scanner
- Defeat Chimera
Chimera was clutching a dead Portal Corporation scanner.
You found the data scanner.
Note: As Chimera also possesses the data scanner, there is no need to hunt for any glowies. Defeating Chimera is sufficient to complete the mission.

The Wolf's Remains |
| This Praetorian war wolf, one of Shadowhunter's minions, was brutally slaughtered by Chimera's ninjas. The Portal Corporation data scanner lie among the bones, now entirely defunct. It seems clear that this wolf was butchered and the scanner deactivated in order to lure you to Praetorian Earth. The thought makes you a little sick. |

Ambush! After the defeat of Chimera, there will be three silent ambushes by Chimera's minions. |

Debriefing
Chimera butchered that war wolf, just to lay a trap for you. I have to admit, that turns my stomach. I guess it shows us the kind of villains we're dealing with. Don't go too far, Character. I have a feeling that the Praetorians will require more of your attention. And soon.
Check on the scanners
Briefing
You remember those data scanners we planted on Praetorian Earth? The last time we spoke I was worried because one of them had gone dead; now, they're all dead! We've stopped receiving any signals from the scanners whatsoever. This doesn't sit right with me, Character. It could be that the Praetorians eliminated the scanners because they're about to begin work on something they don't want us to observe. Plans for an invasion, perhaps? I wouldn't be surprised. I need you to go back to Shadowhunter's forest and check on those scanners. See if you can confirm my suspicions.
But do it quickly. If those scanners have been compromised, we could be in danger of the Praetorians using them against us! I've only received authorization for a 1 hour excursion.
Mission Acceptance
If the Praetorians are plotting something. I need you to learn everything you can.
Unnecessary Solicitation
We still don't know what's going on and why all those data scanners went dead. Character, I'm really worried!
Mission Objective(s)
Something moves in the underbrush. You're not alone here.
- Defeat all wolves in area - 60:00
Failure - You've received a signal from Maria Jenkins. Your time on Praetorian Earth is up.
Success - When you defeated Shadowhunter, he spat out, 'Your foul machines have been given to the metallic abominations.'

'Though it pained me, I have culled the infected creatures from my pack. My brothers will not serve as your spies!

While you were gone, Portal Corporation managed to get a bead on the residual signal from those scanners. The data's fuzzy, but it seems likely they're some sort of facility on Praetorian Earth, rumored to be under the control of the villain Siege. I hate to send you in there. But I think I have to.
Debriefing Mission Success
So, the scanners were given to Siege and Nightstar. I think we'd better stay on this course, Character. I'm afraid it's leading us toward something big.
Bring back the missing scanners
Briefing
We've found the location of a storage facility operated by Siege and Nightstar. There's a good chance our missing data scanners may be there. I think it's important that we track down those data scanners. Character; I don't want to see Portal Corporation tech in the hands of the Praetorians. I need you to infiltrate that facility and bring back the missing scanners. Can you do that?
Mission Acceptance
Those scanners were built with state of the art technology. There's no telling what Siege and his minions can learn from them.
Unnecessary Solicitation
We need every last scanner back, Character. I won't see that technology left in the Praetorians' hands.
Mission Objective(s)
Siege's enormous facility is staffed by scores of mechanized men. You'll have to fight your way through them to locate the missing scanners.
- Defeat Siege and his minions

Get the data scanners back
Defeat Bobcat and her minions
Briefing
From what you learned at Siege's storage facility, it seems that Portal Corporation's data scanners are being held at one of Neuron's labs. Portal Corporation already knows the location of one of those labs. I need you to go to Praetorian Earth and get those data scanners back. While you're there, see if you can find out what the Praetorians hope to gain by studying them.
Mission Acceptance
If you manage to get any of the scanners back, take them over to Tina Macintyre at Portal Corporation.

We need those data scanners, Character. Every minute we lose is another minute Neuron has to examine them!

- Take scanners to Tina Macintyre
Briefing
Now that we've got an idea of how the data scanners were modified, I should be able to remotely activate the scanners that were sent to Neuron's second lab. Then we can pinpoint its location and send you in to determine his purpose. Right off the bat, I can tell you that his adaptation of our technology is most advanced. I'd say he's up to something pretty serious.

Altered scanners |
| You retrieved these altered Portal Corporation data scanners from Neuron's lab. The accompanying research notes state that the scanners are beginning to prove effective in the interrogation of Statesman. Although no needle could pierce his skin and no Praetorian technology could unearth his secrets, it seems that Statesman is more vulnerable to technology from his own world. The excited researcher indicates that he has every expectation of breaking Statesman through the use of your world's technology. |
You intercepted a message to Neuron.
|
Intercepted message |
| While investigating Neuron's secret lab, you intercepted this message. It is from a clan on Warrior Earth, the home dimension of the ruthless Battle Maiden. It offers the clan's allegiance to Neuron, if the supervillain will help the clan defend itself against Battle Maiden's relentless and often violent recruitment policies. According to the message, Battle Maiden plans to bomb the clan's home if they do not swear to follow her. Rather than accede to this blackmail, the clan has chosen to find itself a new master. |

The Praetorians have Statesman captive! How can this be? This is huge, Character, this is colossal! We've got to do everything in our power to rescue Statesman from those fiends. Maybe that message you got from Warrior Earth can help us. I'll look into it directly.
Defend the Warrior clan from Battle Maiden
Save Warrior clan's village
Briefing
Statesman is in the hands of the Praetorians, and we have to follow every lead that might help us effect his escape. I'm hoping that the message you intercepted from Warrior Earth can be one such lead. The warrior clan was willing to pledge allegiance to Neuron for help against the conquering Battle Maiden. It could be that if you go to Warrior Earth and defend that clan from Battle Maiden, they might be willing to help you instead.
Mission Acceptance
Battle Maiden's persuasive tactics lean heavily toward the brutal. According to that message, she plans to bomb the clan's village if they don't give in to her demands.
Unnecessary Solicitation
I need you to see what you can learn from that Warrior clan.
Mission Objective(s)

Back again, Character. Yes, I believe I can trace the dimensional signature of this bomb. It originated on Praetorian Earth, that's to be expected. Oh! It looks like the bomb can be traced to a network of caverns deep within the Praetorians' world. If you're looking for Battle Maiden, I recommend starting there.

Rescue people from their shadows
Briefing
We've got an emergency situation here, Character! I just got a report from a neighborhood called Faunton Park. The people there claim that their shadows are actually trying to attack them. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the Praetorians are behind this. It's chaos over there, Character. You've got to rescue those people from their shadows!
Mission Acceptance
I can hardly believe the stories I'm hearing. People are saying that their shadows stepped right off the pavement and started to attack!
Unnecessary Solicitation
Faunton Park is still in the grip of those strange shadows!

Listen, I heard them talking about a World of Shadows, the one their leader, Black Swan, comes from. They said that they can keep 'the prisoner' there indefinitely. I don't know who this prisoner is, but I'm sure he could use a hero like you! 'Listen, I've got a little bit of mystical know how. I think I can help you fight those shadows. I wasn't strong enough to bear the weight of this spell, but perhaps a hero like yourself could do it.' |

Talk to Tina Macintyre about the Shadow World
Talk to Tina Macintyre
Briefing
I'd like you to go talk to Tina Macintyre once more. She's a gifted scientist, and it's just possible that she may be able to track down this Shadow World where Black Swan draws her minions from. If Tina can find it, I'd like you to go there and see if you can find out whether Statesman is actually imprisoned on that world. If he is, we've got to break him free.
Mission Acceptance
I don't really know whether we're chasing a solid lead or a wild goose. I do know we can't stop until Statesman's safe at home.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Tina just called. She's waiting for you.
Mission Objective(s)
- Talk to Tina Macintyre
Briefing
Yes, Portal Corporation has charted no fewer than 17 different Shadow Worlds. It's certainly possible that Black Swan's home dimension is one of those. Perhaps we can narrow it down if I give you a quick scan. After all, you fought Black Swan's shadows quite recently; you may have a trace of their dimensional signature about you.
Well, here's a promising lead. I'd like you to check out dimensions Zeta Tao 7-63. I think you may find Black Swan's strange shadow minions there.
Rescue the prisoner
Unnecessary Solicitation
I need to know if that Shadow World in connected to Statesman's disappearance!
Mission Objective(s)
You hate to think of anyone imprisoned on this desolate planet, even someone as brave as Statesman.
- Rescue the prisoner
You rescued Black Swan's prisoner, but found no trace of Statesman.

- Julio Jimenez (non-escort Hostage)
- Black Swan (Archvillain)
Note: It is not required to defeat Black Swan in this mission, and the game will not clue you in to her presence. However, her defeat is required for the Portal Jockey Badge accolade. Many players have fallen victim to the seemingly easy objective and exit the mission without defeating Black Swan.

Julio's story |
| When you rescued Julio Jimenez from Black Swan's shadows, he told you:
'The master of my world has been dueling with Black Swan for some time. You see, he is trying desperately to leave his dimension, and she is trying to keep him in it. She used her dark power to invade my world and kidnap me, because she wanted information about the master. But I could not tell her anything, not ever. If the master were ever to know, it would be most terrible. Not just for me, but for my family as well!' |

Well, that Shadow World may have been a dead end, but Portal Corporation has been scanning Praetorian Earth for some time now, and they've located a possible location where Statesman may be imprisoned. I need you to check out an asylum run by Mother Mayhem and her crazed henchman, Malaise. If you see any sign of Statesman, report back immediately.
Mission Acceptance
Statesman and I used to adventure together, you know. If the Praetorians have done anything to him, they'll have me to deal with.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Have you found any sign of Statesman yet? Character, if he's imprisoned in that asylum, we have to know!
Mission Objective(s)
A chittering laugh breaks off into a mournful wail.
- Defeat all villains in asylum

Search Infernal's torture chamber for any sign of Statesman
Briefing
Mother Mayhem's asylum may have been a dead end, but we're going to free Statesman yet. Portal Corporation turned up another likely lead: a mystical torture chamber run by the demonic Infernal and his twisted sidekick, Diabolique. If Statesman is there, there's no doubt the Praetorians are trying to pump him for information. States won't give an inch, but I hate the thought of him in a place like that. I want you to comb that torture chamber for any sign of Statesman.
Mission Acceptance
Statesman is one of the greatest heroes I ever met, and I've made the acquaintance of quite a few. I can't imagine how the Praetorians managed to capture him!
Unnecessary Solicitation
Statesman may be in Infernal's torture chamber right this minute.

You can't tell in this light, but it's possible that the walls are stained with blood.

Repel the Praetorians from the Portal Corporation lab
Briefing
Character, something terrible has happened! The Praetorians have invaded a Portal Corporation lab! It's that thug Marauder and his sick lieutenant, Dominatrix. There's a lot of important technology in that lab, but, even more importantly, there are half a dozen technicians. You've got to repel the Praetorians from that lab!
Mission Acceptance
Those Praetorians may well be the greatest threat Paragon City has ever faced.
Unnecessary Solicitation
That Portal Corporation lab is still in the hands of the Praetorians!
Mission Objective(s)
From within the lab, a man's voice calls desperately for help.
- Defeat all villains in lab

The scientist's story |
| One of the scientists you rescued from the Praetorians told you:
'I heard that Dominatrix mutter something about having just been in Statesman's cell. So, when no one was looking, I pulled out a scanner and did a quick dimensional scan. I've got the coordinates of Dominatrix's last location on Praetorian Earth! If she was telling the truth, these coordinates may help you find Statesman at last!' |

Free Statesman
Briefing
According to the Portal technician who scanned Dominatrix, Statesman is being held in a cave network deep within the bowels of Praetorian Earth. They've scanned the area, and what they've learned has been immensely useful. It seems that Statesman's bonds are powered by a generator held by Tyrant himself! If you can defeat Tyrant, you can free Statesman!
Mission Acceptance
You remember how the Praetorians weren't able to use their own tech to scan States? Well, our best theory on that is that Statesman is physically so similar to Tyrant that his presence in the Praetorian dimension is never quite complete. It's as if there just isn't room for him there. The upshot is that Statesman is impervious to Praetorian technology. And it's impervious to him! He can't break out of those bonds, not on his own. You have to help him!

You never dreamed that the great Statesman would someday rely on you for help. Now that the moment's here, there's no time to savor it. After all, there's a job to be done.

Statesman sent this face plate over for you. He said to tell you that he was glad to see Paragon City had been in good hands while he was away. Statesman isn't careless with his praise; it seems pretty clear to me that he thinks the world of you.
Historical Missions
Run a patrol for Praetorian activity
Briefing
Ever since the Praetorians first set eyes on our dimension, they've wanted it for their own. It's only through the constant vigilance of heroes like yourself that Peregrine Island, the heart of Portal Corporation, is kept safe. If the Praetorians manage to take over Portal, we'll have no defense against their dimensional incursions. I'd like you to run a sweep through Peregrine Island and make sure there's no Praetorian activity going on.
Mission Acceptance
If you see anything, and I mean anything, we need to know about it.
Unnecessary Solicitation

Mission Objective(s)
- Patrol, watch for Praetorians
- Visit 5 locations
Debriefing
Thanks for doing your part to keep Peregrine Island safe. Make no mistake about it, if the Praetorians ever manage to mount an invasion, Peregrine Island will be ground zero. It's up to heroes like you to make sure they can't get a foothold on the area.
Take down Chimera's training facility
Briefing
We've locked the primary facility where Chimera trains his ninja assassins. I'd like you to get in there and take down that training facility. You'd wipe out a good portion of Chimera's troops, while making it harder for him to train others. That's what I'd call a big coup.
Mission Acceptance
Chimera's ninjas are stealthy and smart. You'll have to be the same if you want to succeed.

Stop Mother Mayhem
Note: As of Issue 14 this mission is indeed time limited, a two-hour counter begins once the mission is acccepted.
Briefing
On our world, Sister Psyche's one of the nicest women I know. But on Praetorian Earth, her alter-ego is known as Mother Mayhem. Rather than use her psychic powers for good, Mother Mayhem uses them to drive people insane! She triggers the rage center in their brains, turning them into deranged killing machines. I've got an urgent report from Portal Corporation; Mother Mayhem and a slew of her 'patients' have just beamed into a downtown area called Waxahachie Park. You've got to get over there and stop Mother Mayhem! Otherwise, the Waxahachie occupants may wind up dead! You only have 2 hours to deal with the situation.
Mission Acceptance
You'll need to take the Light Rail to get to Waxahachie Park. Remember, Mother Mayhem's minions are really just victims of her evil mind-control. Stop them, but don't do them harm.

Go to Shadowhunter's lair and consecrate the bones
Briefing
Portal Corporation has located the stronghold of the Praetorian villain called Shadowhunter. It's a wooded thicket, where the bones of Shadowhunter's victims are kept, unburied and unconsecrated. Shadowhunter and his wolves draw their power from those bones, and from the restless spirits tied to them. If you could go to Shadowhunter's lair and consecrate the bones, you'll free the spirits of his victims. each spirit you free will weaken Shadowhunter and his minions.
There's a catch, though. If you don't manage to complete your mission quickly, Shadowhunter's wolves may get a chance to hide them. Then we'll never break his power. You only have 1 hour.
Mission Acceptance
This may be a tactical strike, but it's also a mission of mercy. You'll be freeing many trapped and miserable spirits.
Here's a bottle of holy water. Use it sparingly, Character; from what I understand, Shadowhunter has many victims.

Shut down Black Swan's portal to the Shadow World
Briefing
The Praetorian Black Swan gains her powers from her dimension of origin, some sort of Shadow World. No one at Portal Corporation has yet been able to determine which dimension Black Swan comes from, but we know that that's where she finds her shadow soldiers. If you could shut down Black Swan's portal to Shadow World, you could prevent her army from growing any larger. Maybe you could even cut off her own power supply!
Mission Acceptance
The location of this Shadow World is a mystery Portal Corporation has been trying to plumb for some time.

Shut down Siege's factory
This is exciting, Character. We've got a lead on one of Siege's primary production facilities, the factories where he produces all his android minions. If you could get to Praetorian Earth and shut down Siege's factory, you'll be taking a lot of the bite out of his army. It won't be easy, Character. But I believe that if anyone can manage this, it's you.
Mission Acceptance
My sources have informed me that the facility has several power generators you'll need to disable.
Unnecessary Solicitation
If Siege is allowed to keep pumping out robots, Paragon City could have hard times ahead.
Mission Objective(s)
Siege's massive factory spouts great gouts of black smoke into the air.

Citadel's been cooperating with us in our analyses of the androids, but there are still a few enigmas we can't crack. Maybe now that'll change.
Stop the battle between Malaise and the Rikti
Briefing
The Rikti and the Praetorians may have the same goals in mind, but that doesn't make them friends. On the contrary. The Praetorians want to conquer Earth for themselves, so they're as interested in beating back the Rikti as we are. One of the Praetorians has cooked up an ingenious scheme for weakening the Rikti; Malaise plans to use some sort of drug to revert the converted Lost back to a more human state. He hopes to pit them against their Rikti masters and create chaos in the Rikti ranks.
As we speak, Malaise's forces are moving in on a Rikti base in the sewers. I need you to get to the sewers and stop the battle. Damage to the sewer system is a real health hazard, and there's also the risk that Malaise will reinforce his army with the converted Lost.
Malaise has the power to inflict his madness on others; most of his minions are deranged and unstable, just like the Lost themselves. In fact, if he manages to revert some of the Rikti converts to their Lost state, they should fit right into his army.

Find out where Battle Maiden's troops are coming from
Find clue to Battle Maiden's plans
Briefing
We've learned that the Praetorian Battle Maiden is recruiting her troops from some other dimension. The problem is, we don't know which one. I need you to get to Praetorian Earth and infiltrate Battle Maiden's headquarters. See if you can find anything to indicate which world her troops are coming from. If we can cut off her supply, we may be able to keep her from posing a threat to Paragon City.
Mission Acceptance
If you find anything that might come from the world of Battle Maiden's troops, take it to Tina Macintyre. She may be able to get a dimensional trace on it.

Briefing
It certainly does look as though Battle Maiden is originally from this Warrior Earth. I wonder how she won a spot for herself among the Praetorians? If I had to guess, I'd say it was for her viciousness in battle. That's a trait that certainly seems to be valued in Praetorian society.
Let me see those stone shavings. Well, it's weak, but I've got a dimensional trace. I'll tell the technicians to open up a portal to Warrior Earth for you. Once you're there, you'll need to stop Battle Maiden from recruiting more troops

Rescue spirits from Diabolique
Briefing
The Praetorian Diabolique gains her power by controlling the spirits of the dead. I've got it on good authority that she's performing such a summoning in a graveyard on Praetorian Earth within the next few hours. If you could stop her before she enslaves the spirits in that graveyard, you'll have struck a solid blow in the figh tot keep Paragon City safe. You only have 2 hours to stop the summoning.

Defeat Dominatrix and confiscate the Fixadine
Defeat Dominatrix & her minions
Briefing
Today I've got a chance for you to not only strike the Praetorians, but also do some good for this world. I've received word that the villain Dominatrix is having a rave in a warehouse on Praetorian Earth. Her guests will be enjoying all the most extravagant debauchments Praetorian Earth has to offer, including a drug called Fixadine. Sound familiar? That's because it's the Praetorian version of Superadine. I need you to defeat Dominatrix and confiscate the Fixadine. Can you do it?
Acceptance
Fixadine and Superadine have some subtle molecular differences. Dr. Steve Sheridan believes he can use the Fixadine in his ongoing efforts to cure the Trolls of their Superadine-induced mutations. Once you've got the drug, get it over to him.

Great job. Just terrific. Not only did you do something good for science, you also weakened Dominatrix's hold over her minions.
