Part Three: The Clamor and the Clangor
Briefing
Positron just contacted me, Character. He'd like you to report to Fort Trident to debrief with his team. I imagine he's itching to find out what went wrong with his encounter with those Trolls.
I know the Phalanx has been leaning on you quite a bit recently, but it would be good of you to respond. Give them time, Character. They will return to their former glory soon enough, you'll see.
- I'll head over there now.
Wavelength chuckles softly.
Always the lively one, eh, Character? I knew a Hero or two with your spark in my day, but not a one seemed as capable. Give my regards to Positron, will you?
Unnecessary Solicitation
Feeling weary, Character. I understand, dear. It's a thankless job. Still, it's what we all signed up for, isn't it? You'd best be on your way.
Mission Objective(s)
Things seem a bit calmer than the last time you were here.
- Rendezvous with the Freedom Phalanx
- Meet with the Freedom Phalanx

Positron: Ah, Character. My thanks again for your assistance in Skyway City.
Positron: Those Trolls we encountered appear to have been bolstered by some unknown energy source.
Citadel: We haven't been able to determine the source of the Trolls' newfound power, but...
Citadel: Interesting... Dr. Keyes, you may want to see this.
Positron: What is it, Citadel?
Citadel: The system is currently detecting energy fluctuations similar to those seen in Skyway.
Citadel: They appear to be emanating... from the area around City Hall.
Positron: Interesting indeed.

Mission Objective(s)
- Rendezvous with the Freedom Phalanx
Briefing
If these energy signatures are appearing in Atlas Park, we're going to need someone to investigate.
Character, your prior success against the Trolls in Skyway suggests that you may be capable of handling whatever's up there. Still, I think the Phalanx should have an official presence as well, if there is an attack imminent.
If you don't mind, I'd like you to select a member of our team to accompany you on your patrol.
- Why not bring the whole team?
- That would improve our odds were something dangerous to occur, true. However, given the relative frequency of these anomalies, I believe that holding the majority of the team in reserve is the most prudent course of action.
- If more anomalies reveal themselves, I will send members to investigate. If not, then we may join you shortly to assist in your investigation.
- Very well. I'll select a partner then.
- +++ Missing Information +++
- I think I can handle myself, if that's your concern.
- +++ Missing Information +++
- Thank you, Character. You've more than proven your capabilities to me, and I'm sure any of the Phalanx would be honored to work with you.
- I work better alone, Positron.
- +++ Missing Information +++
Mission Objective(s)
- Rendezvous with the Freedom Phalanx
Ally Selection Dialogue
NOTE: Only one ally may be selected. Choosing to bring an ally along will forfeit the opportunity to talk to anyone else.
Briefing
Hey, kid. Pretty good work out there.
I gotta admit, when Positron first said he was going to call you in for help, I was a little suspicious. I've been tight with the Phalanx for a long time, but you don't have that kind of history.
Pos showed me your credentials, though, and he's said you worked with some of 'em before... and now here you are, bringing home the prize twice in a row. Not what I expected, not at all.
- Care to help me try for prize number three?
- +++ Missing Information +++
- Uh, thanks... I think. (ends dialogue)
Briefing
Character. I have been observing your work since Positron requested your assistance, and the majority of your actions have had highly positive impacts on the stability of Paragon City.
If it is your intent to investigate the energy sources we have detected in Atlas Park, I would be greatly interested in accompanying you.
- +++ Missing Information +++
- Give me a moment to think about it. (ends dialogue)
Briefing
Manticore levels a grim stare at you.
You're soft, Character.
Now, I don't say that because I think you're not a good fighter. You've proven that you can handle yourself well enough. But you make poor decisions, and expose yourself and this city to unnecessary danger.
I mean, what were you thinking, that the Clockwork King was some misunderstood teenager? You let a dangerous psychic criminal run loose after he carried out a premeditated attack on a Freedom Phalanx facility, and for what? So that you wouldn't have to hurt his feelings?
The Clockwork King is not some child to be chided and then sent on his way. He is a criminal that is responsible for the deaths of more Paragon Citizens than you know.
- Look, Manticore, are you with me on this or not?
- +++ Missing Information +++
- Not in the mood for a lecture, Manticore. Maybe later. (ends dialogue)
Briefing
Hello, Character. I must thank you for your assistance in Skyway City. I'm ashamed to admit, the Trolls' ability to cause me harm was a surprise. Thankfully, you arrived in time to prevent whatever cruel fate they had planned for me.
Still, I plan on being more cautious in the future. It seems that Paragon City is always defying our expectations.
- That's why Positron has asked me to investigate. Care to join me?
- +++ Missing Information +++
- Glad I could help, Numina (ends dialogue)
Penelope Yin (TF)
Briefing
Penelope smiles at you as you approach.
Hey there, +++ Missing Information +++ / girlfriend. Thanks again for your help with the Clockwork King. I know most heroes don't care about why a bad guy does what he does, but in Russell's case, I really do think he's trying to be better. He just... doesn't fit in well with the rest of us, you know? He doesn't have a lot of respect for rules. I think he's starting to come around, though.
Anyway, I feel like I'm just rambling now. Did you need something?
- Positron's sending me topside. Care to join me?
- Penelope beams at you.
- Absolutely! Give me a second to get ready, and then I'll meet you in Prometheus Park. This will be fun!
- No, not really. Just catching up. (ends dialogue)
Briefing
Have you chosen a partner yet, Character?
- Why don't you work with me on this one, Positron?
- +++ Missing Information +++
Briefing
Synapse seems to be caught up in a one-way conversation with Back Alley Brawler.
So I said to her, 'Listen, honey, I know it sounds bad, but come on! You're twins. Identical twins. You can't blame me for this!'
I mean, yeah, she was pissed. But really, if I'm attracted to her sister, she should just take that as a compliment, right? If I like one, then obviously the other's going to...
Synapse seems to finally notice your presence, and ends his rant prematurely. He casually waves to you.
Yo, Character. Pretty slick moves, from what Pos and Numina are saying. What's up?
- Investigating City Hall. Want to come with?
- +++ Missing Information +++
- ...Nevermind, Synapse. I can see that you're busy. (ends dialogue)
Mission Objective(s)
- Rendezvous with the Freedom Phalanx
- Investigate the area near City Hall
You have defeated Clamor, and learned something about her strange new power...

Random Minion Dialogue
Before Combat:
- Elementalist: The metal ones do not share in our vision...
- Raider: They are tools, nothing more. Do not trouble yourself with their fate.
Combat Start:
- Raider: This one, however... this one can be removed.
Before Combat:
- Raider: These ones seem... easier to control than most.
- Elementalist: Their minds are simple. They admire our ways, though they do not understand.
Combat Start:
- Raider: Do you understand, 'hero'? Do you know our ways?
Before Combat:
- Stunner Freak: I dunno, man. They're kind of... freaky.
- Metal Swiper: Are you hearing yourself? You just called someone ELSE a freak.
Combat Start:
- Stunner Freak: Yeah, yeah! Just shut up and help me with this nerd.
Before Combat:
- Elementalist: The metal woman's conversion was faster than expected.
- Reviler: Her philosophy matches our own. Her mind was ripe for our message.
Combat Start:
- Reviler: Foolish child. You do not know what forces affect this world.

- Clamor: Ugh...
- Citadel: Clamor appears to be affected by the same power source as Atta.
- Positron: Then we'll need to take her back to Fort Trident. If we can analyze the energy source more closely...
- Penelope Yin: No need for that. I'll just hop in and take a look...
- Manticore: Oh, this should be good.
- Penelope Yin: Got it!
- Penelope Yin: Clamor, why don't you tell the crowd what you've been up to?
- Clamor: ...
- Clamor: The time of chaos is at hand... all will be remade in the shape of power.
- Clamor: You weak fools, who hoard power but fear its use... your time has ended.
- Clamor: Pandora's Box is opening.
- Clamor: The power must have a host...
- Clamor: ...a vessel...
- Clamor: ...a Champion.

Debriefing
Pandora's Box... oh dear. That certainly doesn't sound good. You may want to keep this information amongst those you trust, Character. If word gets out that Paragon's criminal element is getting power enough to challenge its greatest champions, why, there'd by riots in the streets.
I will be frank, Character. I fear for the future. The world has been beset by more threats than the good citizens of this city would ever care to know, and by and large we've managed to survive until now because Statesman has led the way. With him gone... I do not know if the Phalanx is still up to the challenges ahead.
But... perhaps you are. I sincerely hope that is the case.
