Not Enough People
This situation with the Praetorians is pretty dire, Character. You'll need a full team of eight people to handle what's coming our way.

Part One: The New Law
Briefing
Good to see you're here with a team, Character. My name is Apex, I'm in charge of Vanguard's operations against Praetoria. As you may or may not know, we've got ourselves into another invasion. Looks like people just love to attack Primal Earth, huh? First it was Rikti, now it's Praetoria. Their first attack was on Terra Volta, and it was bad, Character. Everyone from the Freedom Phalanx was there, fighting tooth and nail against the Praetorians. But, for some reason, everyone but Statesman had all of their abilities drained to the point of being useless. Eventually, Statesman was forced to retreat, and the Praetorians shut down Terra Volta for some time. That's the odd thing, though. They could've blown it up, but they just chose to shut it down for a time... which means that whatever they wanted to do, they did in that time. This is where you and your team come in,Character
Mission Acceptance
That's what I was hoping to hear! You guys are going to be called Task Force Horus. Nifty name, don't you think? Now, the reason why we need you all specifically is because of your Incarnate Abilities. We don't know why, but wherever these Praetorians show up, anyone who isn't an Incarnate has their powers totally drained. Even then, Incarnates who aren't somewhat powered up are still drained of some of their powers. We figured all this out after analyzing the battle between the Praetorians and the Freedom Phalanx. Those Praetorians are moving fast though. Their next target is the main PPD headquarters in Kings Row. Blue Steel is doing his best to defend the Row in his weakened state, but he's being overwhelmed, and fast. We'll provide air transport for you all into Kings Row. You need to defend the PPD station from the Praetorians. If that falls, Paragon loses one of its main forces to fight against the Praetorians!
Unnecessary Solicitation

Debriefing
Good work, Task Force Horus. Blue Steel and his men took some heavy losses, but luckily they didn't face the brunt of the invasion like you all did. Anyway, we've got bigger issues, as you may know. Blyde Square was hit by some sort of object from space. We've lost all contact with everyone there, but Vanguard was able to get pictures from one of our satellites, and it isn't good.

Souvenir
War Earth Sword
You took one of Battle Maiden's animated swords as a war trophy after the fight in Blyde Square. The nanites that powered this sword are long gone, but perhaps you could find a use for it still. It reminds you of an experience you call...
Alpha Strike
It all began when you formed a team to push back the invading Praetorians with a super named Apex. The Freedom Phalanx had fallen defending Terra Volta due to all but Statesman having their powers sapped. Many other heroes were reporting their powers being almost non-existent when fighting Emperor Cole's forces. However, your special Incarnate abilities were able to overcome whatever was happening all over the world. You worked together with other Incarnates to push back the Praetorians in Kings Row, preventing them from destroying the PPD headquarters. Afterwards Blue Steel informed you of disturbing news: Blyde Square had been hit by some object from space and all contact was lost with Valkryie.
Vanguard reported that the object from space was actually Battle Maiden who was somehow launched into Earth's atmosphere. She and her army were running rampant in Blyde Square, and only you and your team could stop them from destroying the rest of Paragon City. Your Vanguard helicopter crash landed on a roof in Blyde Square, forcing you and your team to move to the heart of Steel Canyon on foot. There, you did battle against Battle Maiden, her animated swords, and her massive army. You defeated her and forced her to retreat, allowing Paragon City to rebuild the destruction within Steel Canyon. One thing stuck out to you during the fight with Battle Maiden; she mentioned that Provost Marchand was too 'weak-willed' to start the invasion, hinting that perhaps this invasion was done against his orders. Whatever the case, you were able to secure Primal Earth from the Praetorians, which will be crucial in launching a counter attack against Cole and his army.
