Collapsing Ideals
Villain Morality Mission
Mission You overhear some Arachnos operatives speaking about a mind control device being worked on by Arachnos scientists. You look into the matter, using all the resources at your command to find every bit of information there is...
- You discover that Arachnos does indeed have a mind control device, though it is only powerful enough to control the mind of one person. They have been developing it to combat recent problems with Bane Spiders breaking free from their mental network.
- They already plan on using a prototype on the device on a man named Michael Polario, a rich gambler living in St. Martial. They have evidence that he has left Johnny Sonata's inner circle to work with Longbow in an attempt to kick out Johnny - and Arachnos - from the Giza and St. Martial! Polario has been seen speaking with the hero Overdrive about this on several occassions.
- Later today, Polario will be giving a live conference to the people of Paragon, telling them of the corruption within St. Martial in order to bring as many heroes as possible into the island to remove the threat of Johnny Sonata and Arachnos.
- Arachnos, however, has a different plan of their own for this device.
Well, well! Looks like you stumbled upon quite the tangled plot: a former member of Johnny Sonata's gang trying to redeem himself, Arachnos looking to stop that with a very lucrative device, and a connection with Overdrive - someone considered to be a hero amongst heroes in Paragon.
All of this comes together to form an idea in your mind - take the mind control device for yourself, stop this Michael Polario from inviting more heroes into the Isles, and then, to top it all off, mind-control Overdrive to make her your lackey for ALL of Paragon to see!
WARNING: This is a Morality Mission. Completing this mission will change your alignment to Villain. Becoming a Villain means you will be unable to travel to Paragon City. Any ties to the heroic world will be lost.
- Get yourself a new lackey - Overdrive!
WARNING: This is a Morality Mission. Completing this mission will maintain your current alignment of Villain, removing any progress you may have made on any other alignments.
Are you sure you want to do this?
- Yes, get myself a new lackey - Overdrive!
You map out your master plan after picking up some more information on Arachnos's 'big plan'.
Operative Vargas is currently waiting for some hired help in the form of Savage Siren to show up - looks like they're paying her off to be the one to do the deed. You're going to get there before Savage Siren and take the device from Vargas - leaving him sprawled out along the ground should leave a clear message to Savage Siren - stay away from here.
Once that's done, you'll have to make your way to the top of Polario's penthouse and take him out - before the cameras start to roll. Once he's taken care of, you'll send a message to Longbow that you're 'holding him hostage' - it's just a matter of time until your soon-to-be lackey, Overdrive, arrives.
You'll beat her into a pulp, use the device, then walk out with the people of Paragon watching your victory!
Longbow will have lost their inside man of Polario, the heroes of Paragon will never be commanded to assault St. Martial, and you'll have yourself a new personal lackey. What's not not to like?
- Get yourself a new lackey!
You head off to the location of Polario's penthouse within St. Martial...
Unnecessary Solicitation
If only you could see the faces of the people of Paragon as they see one of their most prominent heroes defeated in front of their very eyes!

Briefing
Operative Vargas's face pales as you walk up to him, though he tries to maintain his composure. In his right hand is a small device that resembles some sort of futuristic ray gun - the mind control device.
Ah...Character...this is a...pleasant surprise. I was expecting miss Siren...
...I assume you're not here to talk.
- That would be a correct assumption, yes.
Operative Vargas glances to the weapon in his hand, then up towards you.
Well...tell you what. I'll just get out of your way and...
...zap you with this-!
- (Grab the device out of Vargas' hand)
Vargas blinks as you rip the device out from his hand. He remains motionless with his arm raised, pointing his finger at you. Vargas lets out a nervous laugh.
...you really don't want to hurt me, Character. I can help bring you places in Arachnos! You'll go places thanks to-
- (Knock out Operative Vargas)
Vargas collapses to the ground, knocked unconscious. And you have the mind control device in your hands - time to get to work.
- Now, for Polario...
Michael Polario
Briefing
Michael Polario's face goes blank as you approach him. He stumbles back, his hand shaking.
Y-you're Alex Isaacs!
If you're here...that can only mean that y-you know about...
Polario gulps, reaching into his pocket. He pulls out a communicator - Longbow-made.
Take one step closer and I'll call in Longbow! I swear I will! You won't take ME hostage!
- What makes you think I am here for you?

Mission Exit
As you entered the truck to leave Boomtown, the tunnels around you shook from the explosion.
Papers around Paragon proclaimed that you were responsible for the explosion - and the loss of Hagashi's life. The people of Paragon mourn his loss, while the authorities have put out multiple warrants for your arrest.
It's too bad that Longbow just had to send in Silent Blade to play the part of the hero - her dear father might still be alive today if she had just followed your plan.
