Missions:Powers at Play - Part Three: The Clamor and the Clangor
Part Three: The Clamor and the Clangor
Briefing
Positron just contacted me, Character. He'd like you to report to Fort Trident to debrief with his team. I imagine he's itching to find out what went wrong with his encounter with those Trolls.
I know the Phalanx has been leaning on you quite a bit recently, but it would be good of you to respond. Give them time, Character. They will return to their former glory soon enough, you'll see.
- I'll head over there now.
Wavelength chuckles softly.
Always the lively one, eh, Character? I knew a Hero or two with your spark in my day, but not a one seemed as capable. Give my regards to Positron, will you?
Unnecessary Solicitation
Feeling weary, Character. I understand, dear. It's a thankless job. Still, it's what we all signed up for, isn't it? You'd best be on your way.

Briefing
If these energy signatures are appearing in Atlas Park, we're going to need someone to investigate.
Character, your prior success against the Trolls in Skyway suggests that you may be capable of handling whatever's up there. Still, I think the Phalanx should have an official presence as well, if there is an attack imminent.
If you don't mind, I'd like you to select a member of our team to accompany you on your patrol.
- Why not bring the whole team?
- That would improve our odds were something dangerous to occur, true. However, given the relative frequency of these anomalies, I believe that holding the majority of the team in reserve is the most prudent course of action.
- If more anomalies reveal themselves, I will send members to investigate. If not, then we may join you shortly to assist in your investigation.
- Very well. I'll select a partner then.
- Thank you, Character. You've more than proven your capabilities to me, and I'm sure any of the Phalanx would be honored to work with you.
- (Leave)
- I think I can handle myself, if that's your concern.
- Positron appears to ponder your response for a moment.
- ...Are you absolutely sure, Character? You're not an official part of the Phalanx, and I can't force you to work with us directly.
- However, I worry that we are confronting a force that we have yet to understand. If something is capable of propelling the Trolls to such astronomical levels of strength...
- Hm, I see your point. I suppose I can take a partner.
- Thank you, Character. You've more than proven your capabilities to me, and I'm sure any of the Phalanx would be honored to work with you.
- (Leave)
- No need to worry, Positron. I'll be fine.
- Very well, then.
- Positron nods to you solemnly.
- We'll be watching your progress from here, Character. Good luck.
- (Leave)
- Agreed.
- Thank you, Character. You've more than proven your capabilities to me, and I'm sure any of the Phalanx would be honored to work with you.
- (Leave)
- I work better alone, Positron.
- Positron appears to ponder your response for a moment.

Ally Selection Dialogue

NOTE: Only one ally may be selected. Choosing to bring an ally along will forfeit the opportunity to talk to anyone else.
Briefing Hey, kid. Pretty good work out there. I gotta admit, when Positron first said he was going to call you in for help, I was a little suspicious. I've been tight with the Phalanx for a long time, but you don't have that kind of history. Pos showed me your credentials, though, and he's said you worked with some of 'em before... and now here you are, bringing home the prize twice in a row. Not what I expected, not at all.
Briefing Character. I have been observing your work since Positron requested your assistance, and the majority of your actions have had highly positive impacts on the stability of Paragon City. If it is your intent to investigate the energy sources we have detected in Atlas Park, I would be greatly interested in accompanying you.
Briefing
Briefing Hello, Character. I must thank you for your assistance in Skyway City. I'm ashamed to admit, the Trolls' ability to cause me harm was a surprise. Thankfully, you arrived in time to prevent whatever cruel fate they had planned for me. Still, I plan on being more cautious in the future. It seems that Paragon City is always defying our expectations.
Briefing
Briefing Have you chosen a partner yet, Character?
Briefing Synapse seems to be caught up in a one-way conversation with Back Alley Brawler. So I said to her, 'Listen, honey, I know it sounds bad, but come on! You're twins. Identical twins. You can't blame me for this!' I mean, yeah, she was pissed. But really, if I'm attracted to her sister, she should just take that as a compliment, right? If I like one, then obviously the other's going to... Synapse seems to finally notice your presence, and ends his rant prematurely. He casually waves to you. Yo, Character. Pretty slick moves, from what Pos and Numina are saying. What's up?

Back Alley Brawler: Looks like we're gonna get some action after all, Character. Citadel: I do not believe we will need to look far, Character, given the circumstances. Manticore: Careful. I don't like the looks of this. Numina: I do not like this... I sense a great power here. Penelope Yin: This is bad... very bad... Positron: Come quickly, Character. I believe that City Hall may be under attack! Synapse: Uh, Character? You'd better check this out. |
Clamor: Yes, YES! |

Debriefing
Pandora's Box... oh dear. That certainly doesn't sound good. You may want to keep this information amongst those you trust, Character. If word gets out that Paragon's criminal element is getting power enough to challenge its greatest champions, why, there'd be riots in the streets.
I will be frank, Character. I fear for the future. The world has been beset by more threats than the good citizens of this city would ever care to know, and by and large we've managed to survive until now because Statesman has led the way. With him gone... I do not know if the Phalanx is still up to the challenges ahead.
But... perhaps you are. I sincerely hope that is the case.
