Information

Missing Persons Investigator

Eliza Thorpe works for the city´s Missing Persons Bureau, an agency that specializes in finding the lost and preventing the kidnappings that occur all too frequently in Paragon City. A former FBI agent, Eliza moved to Paragon City to search for her parents, who went missing just after the Rikti War. She never found them, but her life was changed forver when she learned how many disapperances occur in Paragon City every day. She and her colleagues work hand in hand with the city´s heroes to try and stem the tide of kidnappings, but it is definitely a uphill battle. Eliza remains hopeful that the situation will improve if she keeps fighting the good fight, but she realizes she will need plenty of help.

Story Arc

An Unnatural Order (25-29)

An Unnatural Order (25-29)

Souvenir

Will of the Earth Sample

You've kept this sealed sample of the Devouring Earth's strange mutagen, the Will of the Earth. It's a reminder of the adventure you've come to think of as:

An Unnatural Order

It began when your contact sent you to investigate a Devouring Earth raid. After stopping the destruction, you learned that the creatures were after some biotechnology equipment. So it came as no surprise when your contact sent you to protect Lomad Labs, a biotechnology firm, from the creatures. However, you were appalled to learn that, in addition to equipment, the Devouring Earth was making off with Lomad's scientists.

You hastened after the kidnapped scientists and managed to rescue many of them. One of the hostages informed you that the Devouring Earth had also abducted several mystics from the area. Your contact sent you to a nearby Council base to seek clues to the location of these missing magicians. A Council file tipped you off to the Devouring Earth's base location, and you saved the missing mystics. However, you learned of two more hostages the Devouring Earth still held in its clutches.

You set off at once to rescue Professor August P. Lovelethe and Dr. Achilles Theron. Although you saved the professor, you learned that Dr. Theron might not want to be rescued. Indeed, it seemed he was in league with the Devouring Earth!

The doctor planned to help the Devouring Earth release a terrible mutagen into the city's water system. You prevented this vile plan, and recovered a sample of the mutagen, the Will of the Earth. It was strange stuff, this mutagen. You could hear a mental voice emanating from it. By listening to this voice, you were able to track down the last remnants of the mutagen. In doing so, you came face to face with the treacherous Dr. Theron. You defeated the doctor, now a hideous Devouring Earth creature, and recovered the Will of the Earth.

Defeat the Devouring Earth before they can mount a full attack

An Unnatural Order Part One

Briefing

I have something that needs your attention. Devouring Earth creatures have been spotted massing in a warehouse. They're trashing the place, but I don't think that's the sum of their plan. There's a good chance that their masters are planning some kind of raid and are using the place as a rally point. If you can defeat the Devouring Earth before they can mount a full attack, we could save a lot of people and property.

Mission Acceptance

Keep on the lookout for any clues that might explain why the Devouring Earth is attacking that warehouse.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I want that raid stopped, Character! Today!

Mission Objective(s)

From the number of muddy trails tracked through this lobby, you guess the Devouring Earth have a big project going on here.

• Stop Devouring Earth raid
  • 2 workers left, 7 crates to find

You defeated the Devouring Earth and rescued their victims.

Notable NPCs

• 2 Workers (Hostages)

Enemies

• Devouring Earth
  

Debriefing

You saved a lot of lives today. It's kind of odd, though. You say the Devouring Earth stole a shipment of technological devices? Usually they just destroy anything man made.

Stop the Devouring Earth attack

An Unnatural Order Part Two

Briefing

Apparently that Devouring Earth technology theft wasn't merely random violence. The creatures are after the same company they stole from, Lomad Labs. This time they've struck one of the company's lab facilities. They're tearing the place apart and kidnapping scientists. You've got to stop the Devouring Earth attack!

Mission Acceptance

The Devouring Earth hate technology and everything man made, so it's no surprise that they'd stage an attack on a biotech company. But they must have something against Lomad Labs. After all, they were destroying Lomad's shipments when you fought them in that warehouse.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You've got to save Lomad Labs from the Devouring Earth!

Mission Objective(s)

The lab's high tech security system is still sending out a desperate screech.

• Stop Devouring Earth attack
  • 3 scientists to save

You have defeated the Devouring Earth and saved many of the Lomad Labs researchers.

Notable NPCs

• 3 Scientists (Hostages)

Enemies

• Devouring Earth
  

Debriefing

You did as well as you possibly could, but it sure seems like the Devouring Earth have something against Lomad Labs. That's two strikes they've made against the company so far! I know that you're worried about the scientists those creatures kidnapped, but it's not over yet. Those people may still have a chance.

Save the scientists from the Devouring Earth

An Unnatural Order Part Three

Briefing

I got some info on those scientists the Devouring Earth kidnapped from Lomad Labs. One of them was able to get a call out on his cell phone. The police are gathering forces to mount a rescue, but I don't think we have time to wait. Save those scientists from the Devouring Earth!

Mission Acceptance

The Devouring Earth moved the scientists into a series of shallow caverns. They're probably waiting for things to quiet down so they can move the scientists to their main habitat out in Eden.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You need to rescue all of the missing scientists. Once the Devouring Earth has moved them to Eden, they won't survive for long.

Mission Objective(s)

You hear a shouted order and frown. When did the Devouring Earth learn 'Attack Maneuver Theta?'

• Rescue kidnapped scientists
  • 3 scientists to rescue

You have rescued the kidnapped researchers from Lomad Labs.

Notable NPCs

• 3 Hostages

Enemies

• Council
  
• Devouring Earth
  

Debriefing

Kidnapped scientists, and now missing mystics too. It seems the Devouring Earth have been busy. I checked around; a French mystic named Raquel Thibodaux did arrive in town last week, but she hasn't been to any of the conferences she came here to attend. We need some way to locate her and any more kidnapped people before it's too late.

Seek information in Council base

An Unnatural Order Part Four

Briefing

It seems those scientists you rescued were right: the Devouring Earth have kidnapped a lot more people than we had guessed. I've been able to link several missing persons cases to recent Devouring Earth raids. They've been taking mystics from all over the area. Right now, our best chance at finding them is to get information on their movements from some of their enemies. One of the scientists you rescued in the caves mentioned an attack by the Council. There's probably a Council base near those caves. I need you to go to that base and see if they have any information about where the Devouring Earth are taking the kidnapped people.

Mission Acceptance

Whatever the Devouring Earth is up to, it's big. Some of the kidnapped were from cities normally outside their range. Let's just hope that the Council's habit of careful record keeping work for us this time.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Check computers, check files, check reports. The Council files everything. All you have to do is find the information on the location of the Devouring Earth.

Mission Objective(s)

The Council always keeps close tabs on other groups. It's a sure bet that they have info on the Devouring Earth.

• Seek info at Council base
  • Locate any evidence

You've found the information you need to locate the remaining kidnapping victims.

Enemies

• Council
  

Debriefing

Thanks for getting this information. Now maybe we can find those people the Devouring Earth kidnapped.

Rescue the hostages from the Devouring Earth

An Unnatural Order Part Five

Briefing

That information you recovered pinpoints the last known location of the mystics the Devouring Earth kidnapped. However, it looks like there may be one more person to look for. I just got a call from Lomad Labs. Seems one of their researchers, a Dr. Theron, disappeared from his home last night. They must have grabbed him after you rescued those other Lomad techs. I need you to rescue the hostages from the Devouring Earth. You're the best chance they've got.

Mission Acceptance

Kidnapped scientists, missing mystics, and stolen lab equipment. I still have no idea what the Devouring Earth are planning, but it can't be good.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You need to locate those victims before the Devouring Earth can move them again.

Mission Objective(s)

Shuffling human footprints mark the ground. Looking at them, you can almost feel the hostages' weariness and desperation.

• Defeat all creatures in cave
  • 3 mystics to save
  • 3 mystics to lead out

You have defeated the Devouring Earth and rescued most of their victims.

Notes

• You do not have to lead each mystic out individually. You can collect them all before heading toward the exit, though you will have to deal with ambushes along the way.

Notable NPCs

• Kidnapped mystic X2 (Hostages)
• Raquel Thibodaux (Hostage)
• Lesser Devoured X3 (One guarding each hostage)

Enemies

• Devouring Earth
  

Ambush! After freeing each hostage you will be ambushed by a single group of Devouring Earth creatures

Debriefing

Those people you saved are in protective custody now. I only wish we could have found all the Devouring Earth's kidnapping victims! Ms. Thibodaux has promised to try and divine the location of the two missing scientists. After that, it'll be all up to you.

Save Dr. Theron and Professor Lovelethe

An Unnatural Order Part Six

Briefing

Raquel Thibodaux, one of the mystics you rescued from the Devouring Earth, just contacted me. She says she's divined the location of the last two people taken by the Devouring Earth. With luck, we can still save Dr. Theron and Professor Lovelethe.

You had better take along some spare emergency teleporters, just in case.

Mission Acceptance

Raquel said that this area may contain answers for you. She was pretty vague about it, but you better keep your eyes peeled.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You need to find at least some trace of Dr. Achilles Theron and Professor Augustus P. Lovelethe.

Mission Objective(s)

It's bitterly cold in this wilderness, cold enough to make you shudder in sympathy for the Devouring Earth's hostages.

• Rescue missing scientists
  • Find doctor, Seek clues, Find Professor

You've rescued Professor Lovelethe and discovered the Devouring Earth's plan.

Notable NPCs

• Professor Lovelethe (NPC Ally)
• Spawn Chamber X3 (Object)

Enemies

• Devouring Earth
  

Debriefing

A magical mutagen? Dr. Theron in league with the Devouring Earth? This has to be stopped, and quickly. Fortunately, I think you may have found all the clues needed to put a halt to this.

Prevent the Devouring Earth from releasing the Will of the Earth into the water system

An Unnatural Order Part Seven

Briefing

According to that scientist you rescued, Professor Lovelethe, the Devouring Earth plan to release this mutagen of theirs into the sewers. We may not have much time. You've got to stop the Devouring Earth from releasing the Will of the Earth into the water system.

Mission Acceptance

The mutagen is contained in giant crystal structures. You'll need to destroy all of them.

Unnecessary Solicitation

The Will of the Earth mutagen is your top priority. Don't worry about anything else.

Mission Objective(s)

Not far away, you hear the shuffling of Devouring Earth creatures.

• Stop release of mutagen
  • 5 crystals to destroy

You have recovered the Devouring Earth's magical mutagen and prevented its release.

Enemies

• Devouring Earth
  

Notable NPCs

• Will of the Earth x5

Debriefing

Holding this Devouring Earth mutagen is the strangest experience. I swear, I can hear its voice chattering away inside my head! It seems to be talking to a larger colony of mutagenic bacteria. If there's a larger colony, then this still isn't over.

Destroy the Will of the Earth

An Unnatural Order Finale

Briefing

Okay. You've already gone beyond the call of duty to destroy this Devouring Earth mutagen, the Will of the Earth. But it looks like there's more of this stuff out there, and the Devouring Earth might be getting ready to unleash it on the populace. You need to destroy the Will of the Earth, once and for all. Thankfully, this sample of the mutagen seems to have some sort of telepathic connection to the rest. It should lead you in the right direction.

Mission Acceptance

It's only a matter of time before the Devouring Earth unleash this mutagen on the city.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I need every last sample of that mutagen under lock and key.

Mission Objective(s)

This magical mutagen seems to truly have an intelligence of its own. Its voice whispers insidious comments inside your head.

• Defeat all creatures in cave
  • 3 crystals to destroy

You have defeated the Devouring Earth and contained their mutagen.

Notable NPCs

• Will of the Earth X3
• Dr. Theron (Devouring Earth Lesser Devoured)

Enemies

• Devouring Earth
  

Debriefing

You did it. You stopped the Devouring Earth from releasing their mutagen! I can't even imagine what might have happened if you hadn't been there, but congrats. You did a bang up job. I'll make sure that all of the Will of the Earth you recovered gets to the proper labs. Maybe one day, we'll find a way to reverse the changes it can cause.

This has taught us a lot about the Devouring Earth that we didn't know before. Until now, everyone always thought the leaders of the Devouring Earth were people who were producing monsters. But Dr. Theron's transformation seems to indicate that any person who was once a member is now a monster himself! I wonder what this leader of theirs is like, this strange Hamidon. But I guess that's a worry for later.

Check out the caverns

Briefing

I've got a bad feeling about this one; I think you should recruit a team. I heard some kids were partying in some caves near Talos Island, when a tired, unkempt woman crawled up from the depths of the cavern. It was Dr. Eileen Turner, the missing geologist. The kids gave her some food, but she said she had to return to the cavern before 'the Devoured' found her missing. She begged the kids to tell someone that the city faced great danger from under the earth. I think you should check out those caverns. You only have 90 minutes to deal with the situation. And you'll need at least one teammate.

Mission Acceptance

It sounds like Dr. Turner is in the clutches of the Devouring Earth. No one knows who's the mastermind behind those monsters' mayhem. But whoever he is, he's willing to kill and destroy to achieve his extremist ecological goals.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Have you looked into those caves yet? My contacts tell me Dr. Turner's still missing.

Mission Objective(s)

You've wandered these twisted caverns for what seems like hours. You only hope you're not walking in circles.

• Stop beasts' leader & its guards - 1:30 timed
  • Find woman, Disarm linked bombs, Disarm bombs simultaneously!

Mission Success: You have stopped the Devouring Earth's plot to divert an underground river and sink Paragon City.
Mission Failure: The bombs rock the earth, but the river does not divert and sink Paragon City.

Notable NPCs

• Rock Eater (Devouring Earth Fungoid)
• Dr. Eileen Turner (Hostage)

Enemies
Devouring Earth

Debriefing: Mission Success

If the Devouring Earth had succeeded, they might have sunk a good chunk of the city. It's a good thing you were on top of this one. Dr. Turner is recovering with relatives out in California, but she asked me to send you her thanks. She says that she thought she'd never see the sun again, until you showed up.

Debriefing: Mission Failure

Well, it looks like Dr. Turner got to be the hero this time. The Devoured were trying to divert an underground river that would have sunk a good portion of the city. They were forcing Dr. Turner to position their bombs for them, but she tricked them. It was close, but the bombs didn't do enough damage. As for Dr. Turner, we can only hope she made it out alive.

Go to Terra Volta and defeat Devouring Earth

Briefing

The Terra Volta reactor has been under constant attack by the Devouring Earth. They see the reactor and its power complex as an affront to nature. Not to mention that the War Walls it powers stop their progress through Paragon City. I'd like to ask you to lend a hand in the defense of Terra Volta, as many heroes have in the past.

The Devouring Earth have been spotted around Rogers Industriesand Carter Engineering. But you can probably find the monsters anywhere you see ruined buildings.

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat Devouring Earth in Terra Volta
  • Defeat 30 Devouring Earth

You have cleared enough Devouring Earth out of Terra Volta

Enemies

Devouring Earth

Debriefing

Good work in Terra Volta, Hero.Whatever you feelings on nuclear power, Terra Volta is vital to the continued existence of the city. That old reactor probably should be shut down, but right now it's the only thing that can provide power for the War Walls. If the Devouring Earth ever succeeded in destroying it, the chaos would be unimaginable.

Protect the lab from the Lost

Briefing

A Portal Corporation research lab that works on monitoring the teleportation grid just came under attack from the Lost. They need help, fast. The teleportation grid is one of the things that keeps Paragon City's heroes alive. I need you to protect that lab from the Lost. They think that their security might be able to hold off the Lost for up to 2 hours, and who knows what the Lost will do after that. That teleportation equipment is critical. If it's destroyed, we'll have to consider this mission a failure.

That teleportation grid is integral to this city. If the Lost take it down, we could lose a lot of fine heroes.

Mission Objective(s)

The Lost hit the place by surprise, blasting their way in with scavenged Rikti weapons. The Lab's defenses didn't last a minute.

• Defeat Lost leader, his men - 2:00 timed
  • 6 scientists to save, 3 machines to save

The Lost's attack on the Lab is over.

Notable NPCs

• Hod (The Lost Pariah Prelate)
• 3 Lab Workers (Hostages)
• Dr. Harlie Arcadia (Hostage)
• Dr. Albert Quigley (Hostage)
• Dr. Victoria Lazlowe (Hostage)

Enemies
The Lost

Debriefing

From what the scientists you rescued say, it seems that the attack might have been triggered by their discovery of that strange quantum flux on the teleportation grid. I wonder if it really is some kind of communication, like Dr. Lazlowe theorized. And why would that interest the Lost at all? It may be a long time before anyone knows. But today you saved a lot of lives, and that's what's important.

Stop the spread of the drug Shift

Briefing

There's been some rumors circulating around about a nasty new drug called Shift that the Family has been selling sporadically. It's a euphoric hallucinogen with a nasty addictive side, but they've already sold out of their supplies. Here's the twist, though. Analysis of captured samples of the drug link it chemically to the mutagens found in the system of captured members of the Lost. My sources have pinned down where the Family are going to be buying themselves a new supply of this stuff. If you can shut this down now, maybe you can stop the spread of this Shift.

I knew I could count on you.

Mission Objective(s)

You can hear the sounds of talking inside. It sounds like a lot of deals are being made.

• Stop villains' leader, his men
  • 2 drugs to find, Find drug data!

You have stopped the transaction between the Family and the Lost and stopped the spread of the drug 'Shift'.

Notable NPCs

• Gul (The Lost Pariah Anchorite)

Enemies
The Lost

Debriefing

The way you shut down 'Shift' has knocked the drug right off the streets. It seems the Family felt it was a little to hot to move, and now none of the other street gangs are touching the stuff after you took such decisive action. I'll make sure that all of the samples you took go to right people, just in case the Lost find a new distributor.
