While listening for the latest signs of trouble, you hear a call asking for heroes to speak with Contact directly. Something big is happening.
Briefing
We've got a situation in Brickstown. Nemesis is about to make a coordinated strike on the bank, and rumor has it that Arachnos may have sent Ice Mistral to assist them. I need you to head to Brickstown and stop the assault! Reports have come in that troops have been spotted entering the bank already, so you should head over there now. You probably have about 5 minutes or less before they make their escape.
This is a Safeguard mission. Once you prevent the heist, you will have 15 minutes to explore the area and potentially earn extra rewards before the P.P.D. lock down the area. You can earn extra time by defeating vandals and completing side missions.
Mission Acceptance
In addition to the chaos by Nemesis troops, the Council are taking this as an opportunity to display their power, and have sent their troops into the streets. The more of them you stop, the easier it will be to clean up the streets! Be wary, if you provoke them, they may try to cause mayhem, so watch out for anyone who is vandalizing the area.
Periodically, vandals will arrive to destroy parts of the city. You will see a message when they arrive, and their locations will be displayed in your minimap.
Mission Refusal
What?! I understand, Character. You no doubt have some very important things to do. We'll do our best to stop them, but it doesn't look good.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Go protect Brickstown!
Mission Objective(s)
The first thing you notice are the Council troops lining the streets, waiting for anyone to cross their path. Nemesis troops are causing mayhem, destroying property and holding guard at key locations. You can't let the city fall to these criminals!
Savage Siren:Character is planning on stopping me? I'll take anyone down who interferes! Nemesis Looter: Open the safe, now! Savage Siren: I've been expecting you! Get ready to bleed!
Warhulk: The negotiations with Crey Industries are almost complete.
Warhulk: You will not interfere!
or:
Warhulk: ...And Crey Industries will think they got the better end of bargain. Brilliant!
Warhulk: Halt, in the name of Lord Nemesis!
You have received a building key to where the arms deal is going down. Go and grab the evidence! Inside building:
Random Nemesis: As you can see, Lord Nemesis is willing to share his technical advances, with the right partners.
Random Crey: I'm certain we can come to some sort of arrangement.
Random Nemesis: Lord Nemesis will not be pleased with this interruption.
Random Crey: Nor will the Countess!
or
Random Nemesis: We have provided the latest in our weaponry. We hope it will suit your needs.
Random Crey: This will be interesting to study. We hope to work with you again.
Random Nemesis: What is Character doing here?
Random Crey: I don't know, but I smell set up!
Ambush Mob
Random Nemesis: We must stop Character!
