That's where you come in. Fleet command has a tight grip on the budget and have only authorized me a small number of surface vessels and personnel for this operation, but they didn't say anything about me recruiting outside help from heroes such as yourselves. As soon as you've assembled your team, we'll be under way.

Investigate the Praetorian Rift Signature

The Sky is Falling
Part One: Operation Corsair

Briefing

Character, at ease son / . What I'm about to tell you is highly classified information. We've detected an energy signature out in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Portal Corp has verified our own analysis that the energy signature is indeed a dimensional portal and it is Praetorian. Surveillance satellites and atmospheric craft have been incapable of getting a positive identification of the target site, but we do know that it is moving. I've been assigned by the Joint Chiefs to investigate this rift signature with a detachment from the 11th Fleet. My orders, as they currently stand, are to investigate and identify the rift and eliminate it if possible.

I've served this country with distinction and valor for almost 40 years, Character, and I don't plan on retiring with a stain on my courage. I don't like to lose and sure as hell have no intentions of tucking tail and running in the face of adversity. If the Praetorians have come here looking for a fight, then on my grand daddy's grave I swear to give them one they'll not soon forget.

That's where you come in. Fleet command has a tight grip on the budget and have only authorized me a small number of surface vessels and personnel for this operation, but they didn't say anything about me recruiting outside help from heroes such as yourselves. As soon as you've assembled your team, we'll be under way.

Mission Acceptance

Great to have you on board. You'll sail with me on the USS Mason. She's an Arleigh-Burke class missile destroyer, just like the other three ships in my little recon fleet. She may not be the largest ship in the Navy, but she is a fighter and can sink anything I've ever seen in the water. Heh, let's just hope that the Praetorians don't know how to fly.

Unnecessary Solicitation

+++ Missing Information +++

Mission Objective(s)

After only 8 hours at sea Admiral Sutter's voice calls everyone to battle stations. The fleet has made contact with the enemy.

  • Investigate the Praetorian Rift Signature
    • Defend the USS Mason's interior!
    • 4 bombs to disable inside the USS Stout, 4 bombs to disable inside the USS Mitscher, Defend the Fleet!, Clear all enemies off of the ships!
    • 8 enemy fuel lines to close (optional), Disable Northeast Turret Control, Disable Southeast Turret Control, Disable Northwest Turret Control, Disable Southwest Turret Control, Disable Central Turret Control
    • 8 controls to deactivate, Close the Praetorian Rift, Defeat Captain Stone

The voyage back to Paragon City was dominated by frantic radio chatter and worried looks between everyone aboard. As you steam into port word comes that the Praetorians have landed on Talos Island and are sweeping the defenders aside with ease. Things aren't looking good.

This is Sutter. Task Force Name, that massive floating 'vessel' off the port bow is where the attackers came from.
I need your team to disable their weapon systems so we can move in and board them.

Hostage Dialogue

Objective: Defend the USS Donald Cook

Sky Raider Dialogue

Objective: Close the Praetorian rift

This is Sutter. Character, good job on disabling those defensive turrets. We've got them on the ropes.
Now, locate the source of that Praetorian Rift Signature and let's put an end to their little foray into our dimension.
Praetorian Dialogue
Good job, Character, but we have a problem.
Have your team meet me on the stern of the USS Mason and I'll explain.

Debriefing

Sounds like the Praetorians have already taken an invasion force toward Paragon City. We're beat to hell out here, Character. Even if we could get the fleetunderway immideatlyit would mean leaving the Donald Cook behind.

I'm leaving the Mitscher and Stout to handle things here while we're taking the Mason back to Paragon City. Rough seas aside, we should be back there in a few hours, and hopefully in time to stop this damn invasion force of theirs.

  • Hopefully it will be in time to stop them.

You won't be alone, Character. I've alerted the Freedom Corps of the situation. Hopefully Longbow and the PPD will be able to stall their assault long enough for your task force to arrive.

When we arrive back in Independence Port we need to move quick. Time is no longer a luxury we can afford.

Oh, and Character... good hunting.
