Out Of The Corner Of Your Eye

You see a shadowy shape leaping from rooftop to rooftop above you.

Mid-leap a scroll falls from the shadowy form. You take the scroll after and after a quick glance, you're able to determine that this is an assassination contract on the lives of Paragon Police Officers who made a number of shady deals with groups like the Family and even the Council. The officers got greedy and didn't follow through with their end of the deal. Evidently the Whispered Hand has been hired to take these guys out. These two Officers managed to bribe the Carnival of Shadows to take them in and protect them. These men must have been desperate indeed to seek asylum with those insane harlequins.

You've heard of this Whispered Hand before. It's a very small band of assassins consisting of many unsavory characters from all over the Rogue Isles and Paragon City. It has attracted a large number of rogue Knives of Artemis seeking asylum from their vengeful sisters. The big news is that they're now hunting their once leader Silent Blade.

You could stop the police officers from being assassinated.

Alternatively, you could follow the Whispered Hand agents and see if they lead you to one of the world's most notorious assassins, Silent Blade.

Hero Acceptance

Briefing

The Whispered Hand is known for their subtlety. Even in the company of the Carnival of Shadows, these rogue police officers won't see their killers coming before it's too late! It's up to you to stop the Whispered Hand assassins and rescue the police officers so they can stand trial for their crimes. However, the Carnies are not likely to appreciate your presence there.

Stop the Whispered Hand assassins!

Those men have broken the trust of those that they serve, and must face justice. You take note of the location where the Carnies are keeping the police officers and head off. Hopefully you can beat the Whispered Hand assassins there.

Mission Objective(s)

This is where those rogue police officers are holed up. Sounds like the Carnies have given them a warm welcome.

  • Stop the assassinations
    • Recruit Overdrive's help (Optional)
    • 2 Rogue Officers to Rescue

You saved the two rogue police officers from the assassins.

Debriefing

You prevented the Whispered Hand assassins from killing the two rogue police officers. Even though they were going to be taken into custody by those who were previously their colleagues, they seemed to be happy to leave the company of the Carnies.

Vigilante Acceptance

Briefing

Those rogue cops are scum and deserve whatever they get. You're here after the big game: Silent Blade. You know that if you follow the Whispered Hand assassins long enough, that they'll lead you right to her. This will be a big win for you, taking down several of the Whispered Hand assassins and their target, Silent Blade, all in one fell swoop. With Silent Blade forever removed from the face of this world, a powerful lesson will be sent to all those with criminal intent - break the law and it will break YOU!

Follow the assassins who are on Silent Blade's trail.

You follow the Whispered Hand assassin without being noticed and see her enter an old abandoned warehouse in Peregrine Island. That must be where they believe Silent Blade is.

Mission Objective(s)

You're pretty sure this is the place the Whispered Hand assassin went.

  • Capture all the assassins
    • Defeat the Whispered Hand Assassin, Trap Silent Blade in her own lair!
    • Capture all the Assassins

You've put a serious dent in the operations of both the Whispering Hand and Arachnos!

Debriefing

You were able to stop the Whispering Hand assassins hunting down Silent Blade. However, the trap you laid for Silent Blade turned out to be a trap laid for you by Arachnos.

Unfortunately, Silent Blade was able to get away in the aftermath of the battle. But her parting words were quite true - The justice YOU believe in is the ONLY justice that's important. And one day, you may be given a chance to prove it to her.
