Hi there! Thanks for responding so quickly.  I keep forgetting how fast you Hero-types are.  Petty Officer Laura Lockhart, UNSF Social Psychology Division.  It's a pleasure to meet you, {{Character}}.
 +
 +
{{orange|Laura extends a hand towards you.}}

5th Column activity in Paragon City has flared up lately, especially in this district.  Something's got them riled up pretty bad, and they've been going to town on all of the local Council regiments.  I'm here to try and find out what's causing the surge, and see if I can put a stop to it.
 +
 +
That's where you come in.  I need someone out in the field that can handle themselves in enemy territory.  Naturally, recruiting one of the local heroes seemed to be the best option.
 +
 +
{{orange|Laura leans in towards you, grinning mischievously.}}
 +
 +
So, what do you think?  You wanna sign up and take down some fascists?
 +
 +
{{NPC Text|type=hero|title=Response: Absolutely.|text=Alright then! {{orange|Putting on a mock-serious face, Laura snaps to attention and salutes you.}}

Petty Officer Laura Lockhart, reporting for duty, sir!

 +
{{blue|Sir?  Excuse me?}}
 +
 +
Just showing my superior officer the proper respect!
 +
 +
I've got direct orders from Colonel Taggard.  Any FBSA-licensed Hero that signs on is hereby assigned the temporary rank of Sergeant, for the duration of this mission.  I'm here to advise and provide support, but your butt's the one in the fire, here.  This is your operation.
 +
 +
{{orange|Laura pauses for a moment, grinning.}}
 +
 +
...Sir.
 +

{{blue|Right.  Let's get to work then.}}

 +
{{NPC Text|type=hero|title=Response: Wait, what?  Why should I care if the Council is getting attacked?|text=
 +
{{orange|Laura frowns at you.}}
 +
Look, even setting aside the fact that the 5th Column are a violently anti-government fringe organization with military firepower operating inside U.S. borders, the fact is that their surge against the Council is causing some serious collateral damage.  You can't start a war in the middle of a business district and avoid civilian casualties - not that the Column is trying. As far as they're concerned, innocent bystanders are just bonus points.
 +
 +
{{orange|Laura stares at you, hard.}}
 +
 +
If you want to let people like that run amok in your city, then I guess that's all we have to say to each other.  I'm hoping that you care a little bit more than that.
 +
 +
{{blue|Point taken.  Where do we start?}}
 +
 +
Well, we start by issuing you your temporary rank.  Colonel Taggard has ordered that all FSBA-licensed heroes are assigned the temporary rank of Sergeant for as long as they're working with us.  He doesn't want there to be any ...jurisdictional conflicts between the UNSF and local forces.  Now, I could start calling you Sergeant {{Character_Name}}, but I think for both our sakes it would make more sense for me to keep things informal.
 +
 +
During this operation, I'll be here to direct and support your efforts against the 5th Column, but you'll be calling the final shots.  You've been working in this city for longer than I have, so I'm sure you've got the chops for it.

Information

UNSF Deprogramming Specialist

Petty Officer Laura Lockhart has gained a reputation for being the top anti-5th Column resource the U.N. has at its disposal. She has spent most of her time deployed in Paragon City, where the Column's influence is the greatest. Known as one of the few people that have managed to break former recruits of the Column's indoctrination process, Laura has pioneered new interrogation methods that are now used the world over.

Initial Contact

The young woman seems a bit startled at your approach, but composes herself in time to greet you.

Hi there! Thanks for responding so quickly. I keep forgetting how fast you Hero-types are. Petty Officer Laura Lockhart, UNSF Social Psychology Division. It's a pleasure to meet you, Character.

Laura extends a hand towards you.

Part One: Net Victory

Briefing

Alright. The first thing we need to do is to try to get a bead on what, exactly, is causing the 5th Column to become so active in this region.

My intel team has been tracking their comm traffic, but it's encrypted. We can't figure out what they're saying, but we CAN figure out who's talking to whom - and we've located a hub of recent activity.

If we can get our hands on their encryption codes, we might be able to get the inside info we need.

  • I'm guessing that's where I come in.

Well, sort of. I've already made the recommendation to another local hero recruit, goes by the name Leon. He's got an infiltration mission underway. I think he can handle himself in there, but that's only based off his record.

In the interest of being safe, and of coordinating your efforts, I thought you might want to provide some backup.

Unnecessary Solicitation

It looks like Leon is still in the field. He could probably use your assistance.

Mission Objective(s)

You encountered the bodies of 5th Column guards outside the entrance to the base. It appears Leon doesn't believe in taking prisoners.

  • Infiltrate the 5th Column Base
    • Find Leon

Enemies

Badge villain 5thcolumn.png 5th Column


Mission Objective(s)

  • Infiltrate the 5th Column Base
    • Talk to Leon

Leon glares at you irritably

As I'm sure you've overheard, I have this situation under control. I've taken out their commander, and most of the base's defenses. I doubt the remaining troops will put up much resistance.

Leon sighs.

But, I suppose having someone to watch my back isn't so bad. I'm Leon. What do I call you?

Character is fine.

OR

Oh, don't worry about me. I'm just some lowly *novice*, hardly worth your attention.


Character is fine.

Right. Well, Character, there's not much more for us here. The facility itself has been crippled, but they managed to completely wipe their database before I could stop them.

At this point, I don't think we're going to get any valuable info from this place. I recommend we with draw and search elsewhere.

  • We could bring their Commander in for interrogation...

He's not in any shape to be answering questions, Character, and neither are his troops. If you catch my meaning.

Leon's face goes hard, and he gestures to the motionless body of the nearby commander.

  • Yes, I see. That's... unfortunate.

you hear muffled shouting from the direction you came. It sounds like the column is getting reinforcements of their own.

  • I think it's time we let ourselves out.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Infiltrate the 5th Column Base
    • Escape the base with Leon

You managed to exit the 5th Column base relatively unscathed.


Debriefing They wiped the info? Damn! I was sure we'd get a lead on this one.

I don't why they would have wiped their logs, Character. That's not standard Column procedure. Either Leon took his sweet time reaching the main database, or something leaked.

Laura's face twists into a wry smile, and she cocks an eyebrow at you.

Its possible that my arrival in Paragon has drawn more attention than I expected.

Part Two: Wars of Old

Briefing

Mission Objective(s)

  • Stop the Fighting in Steel Canyon

Alright, Character. I've put together a few possible avenues we can pursue in this investigation, and I wanted to get your-

Laura stops herself short, putting a hand to her ear. You can hear muffled chatter coming from her earpiece.

Missed that last message, Central, please repeat.

As the chatter continues, Laura's eyes grow wide. She looks up at you, her mouth slightly agape.
We're going to have to cut off the planning discussion for now, Character. I just got a report of a massive Column operation near Overlook, and sounds like Council forces are mobilizing to meet them.

This is big, Character. If we don't nip that fight in the bud, it could spill out into the rest of Steel Canyon.

We'll get you and Leon transport to the area. I know you could probably get there yourself, but we'll need to coordinate our efforts if we want to minimize damage.

Once you arrive at Royal Overlook, I can help direct the two of you. I'll be working with my team at Central, so we should be able to pin down the hotspots and point you to them.

Let me know as soon as you're ready, Character. We can't afford to waste any time.

Part Three:
