Explosion In Peregrine

A sudden explosion coming from an office building in Peregrine Island catches your eye.

The ensuing shockwave from the explosion nearly knocks you from your feet. People stream past you in waves, running for their lives. A very concerned citizen recognizes you and approaches you.

Character! Oh, Character! It's terrible. That crazy pyromaniac Flambeaux and her cronies attacked my office building. I don't know what they're up to... Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse that so-called hero Blast Furnace charged in there with a handful of Malta agents to save the day. When he couldn't defeat Flambeaux, and her Freakshow friends, he began setting up explosives in an attempt to destroy the building hoping he would take Flambeaux with it. You've got to stop them both! please, there are still people in that building!

You could stop both Blast Furnace and Flambeaux before they cause too much damage.

Alternatively you could help Blast Furnace set up explosives to take out Flambeaux.

Hero Acceptance

Briefing

You're not sure what Flambeaux is doing in that office building, but both she and Blast Furnace are causing significant damage to the building and putting lives in jeopardy. You've got to get in there and take down Flambeaux and Blast Furnace, as well as get rid of any explosives the vigilante has set up.

Stop both Flambeaux and Blast Furnace from destroying the office.

What is Blast Furnace thinking? Does he realize he's going to harm the very people he's sworn to protect by setting up those explosives? Both Flambeaux and Blast Furnace must face justice for their actions.

Mission Objective(s)

Techno music and the sounds of panicked office workers fills the halls of this office, but above the din you can hear the shrill voice of a worked up Flambeaux.

  • Save the Office
    • 2 Explosives to disarm, Defeat Blast Furnace, Defeat Flambeaux

You defeated Flambeaux and prevented her from taking revenge on the Paragon Caper.

Overkill
Blast Furnace must have been really steamed by his encounter with Flambeaux. These bombs would not only have likely killed her, but they'd do enough damage to the neighboring buildings to bring them down as well.
Issue of the Paragon Caper
You've found the reason for Flambeaux's attack. This office is actually covertly home to the Paragon Caper, a tabloid that focuses mainly on super powered citizens. This issue has some rather unflattering things to say about Flambeaux. There's even some choice words for Blast Furnace, calling him a wishy-washy coward for turning his back on the people of Paragon City. Maybe he's not here for Flambeaux after all.
Blast Furnace Spills the Beans
'Okay. I'll talk. I can't stand it, these tabloids think they can publish anything they want! They think I've turned my back on the people of Paragon! Can you believe it? I've done so much for this city, and this is how they repay me? Malta offered to help me take down Flambeaux, even though that's not what I was after. I was so desperate to burn this place to the ground I accepted their offer, fully aware of the likelihood that they'd turn on me.
Flambeaux's Reason
'Idiots! Why can't they see how great I am? They called me a turncoat, a villain! A VILLAIN! Also, the pictures they took of me were, like, totally awful. They all deserve to burn.

Debriefing

You find out Flambeaux's reason behind attacking the office. This building is home to a tabloid magazine that frequently attacks heroes and villains of Paragon City for their actions. Apparently there was an issue recently that called Flambeaux some rather unpleasant things. The article was accompanied by some really unflattering photos of her. Apparently this set her off on a rampage.

Vigilante Acceptance

Briefing

Flambeaux's completely lost it. She was once a hero, but her desire for being the center of attention lead her down this path. She's got to be dealt with. It sounds as if Blast Furnace has stepped in to take her down, but is getting a bit careless. You decide to step in and help him where he's left off.

Help Blast Furnace set up explosives to ensure no villains escape.

You were told that Blast Furnace was setting up explosives to allegedly destroy the building to make sure Flambeaux doesn't get out alive. While that sounds sort of fishy, you think his idea isn't that far off the mark. You head off to the office building to deal with Flambeaux.

Mission Objective(s)

You can hear Flambeaux's high pitched voice screaming and whinging off in the distance. She's clearly still in here. Good.

  • Make sure no one escapes
    • 2 bombs to place, Get Blast Furnace's Explosives, Defeat Flambeaux.

You destroyed the Paragon Caper and hopefully took Flambeaux with it.

Debriefing

You take the detonator from a startled Blast Furnace, press the switch and watch the building go up in flames. Fortunately the building's workers made it out before you pressed the detonator, but you hope Flambeaux wasn't as lucky. Blast Furnace and the citizens in the street stare in disbelief as you discard the detonator over your shoulder.
