Missions:Sweeps Week: Character vs. the Rogue Isles - Part Two: Good Television

Part Two: Good Television

Briefing

Some people are going to tune in, Character, but we need all of the Isles to tune in, and maybe even some of Paragon. Hrm, in fact, perhaps it would be best if most of Paragon tuned in.

In addition to being a former master assassin, I am also an expert in public relations, quite an expert. People already fear you; that's known. However, your name needs to be fresh in people's minds for us to start this.

I propose an attack that would grab people's attention.

Amanda Vines had dropped the first draft of a report regarding a new supergroup in Brickstown. They call themselves the New Praetorians. You figure that an attack on Brickstown would cause enough mayhem to get their attention. You could rob the bank, beat down the PPD, and take out the New Praetorians. All of that should be plenty to get enough attention for your future attacks on anyone trying to cash in on the bounty on your head.

• Prepare the helicopter, Mr. G. We're going to Brickstown.

Brickstown, Character?

Ah... I see, the New Praetorians. I'm afraid I don't have much information on these New Praetorians, so there's no telling who exactly will show up or how difficult this fight will be.

The camera crew will be recording everything, and you will have Mr. Houston providing... commentary.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Let's be on our way, Character.

Paragon Police Dialogue on the Streets

Before Combat: PPD Awakened: I don't like it. That woman used to be Mother Mayhem, how can we trust her? PPD Drone: It wasn't her, her body was being used by Shalice Tilman. Didn't you read the report? PPD Awakened: I did, I just don't buy it. The Praetorians are all around us now, I don't like it. Before Combat: PPD Awakened: I can't believe this. How did Marauder of all people get allowed to walk free? PPD Awakened: He's not free. We have orders to take him down if anyone even thinks he's doing something wrong. Before Combat: PPD Drone: Did you see? That guy Riptide, the one who attacked Talos, he's free too! PPD Awakened: He's a good soldier, from what I heard. He was just fighting for the wrong side. Before Combat: PPD Awakened: Have you met Provost Marchand? The guy organizing the New Praetorians? PPD Awakened: I haven't, but Blue Steel vouches for him, says he's a good person. Before Combat: PPD Drone: Can we trust them? The New Praetorians? PPD Awakened: Parson and Pendragon are OK. I'm not too sure about the others. Before Combat: PPD Awakened: Longbow's got Clockwork now, but what about us? When do we get our support? PPD Awakened: Tell me about it, we could use some heavier technology to keep Paragon safe. Before Combat: PPD Awakened: I accidentally attacked Marauder. PPD Drone: What? PPD Awakened: I thought it was another invasion! PPD Drone: Did he do anything? PPD Awakened: He just shrugged it off and said not to worry about it. I don't know, though...

Ambush! You are periodically ambushed by waves of Paragon Police. PPD Drone: Freeze, villain!

Paragon Police Dialogue in the Bank
Before Combat: PPD Unleashed: Keep an eye out, we could have a situation on our hands. Combat Start: PPD Unleashed: We've got company, it's Character! Ambush Dialogue: PPD Drone: We got a situation!

You grabbed the money!

New Praetorians Dialogue
Before Combat: Aurora Pena: I swore I would let no more evil be done on my watch, I will show the world I mean it by taking you in, Character!

Debriefing

Beautiful job, Character, absolutely beautiful. People are once again curious about you.

We have commercials airing now about your beat down against would-be bounty hunters. I believe you are also 'trending' on popular blog sites.

General Alito has managed to take down several weaker groups that sought to cash in on the bounty. There were the Goldbrickers, the Skulls, the Hellions, and even the Luddites. That leaves us with the larger groups that must be handled. Transmuter is currently trying to handle something with Subjugator 5; she seems to be disturbed by something, though there is a good chance that simply comes with the condition of being so twisted by Mother Mayhem.
