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.

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.

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.
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.
  • (Leave)
  • I think I can handle myself, if that's your concern.
Positron appears to ponder your response for a moment.
...Are you absolutely sure, Character? You're not an official part of the Phalanx, and I can't force you to work with us directly.
However, I worry that we are confronting a force that we have yet to understand. If something is capable of propelling the Trolls to such astronomical levels of strength...
  • Hm, I see your point. I suppose I can take a partner.
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.
  • (Leave)
  • No need to worry, Positron. I'll be fine.
Very well, then.
Positron nods to you solemnly.
We'll be watching your progress from here, Character. Good luck.
  • (Leave)
  • Agreed.
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.
  • (Leave)
  • I work better alone, Positron.
Positron appears to ponder your response for a moment.

Clamor: Yes, YES!
Clamor: Bring the destruction, bring the carnage!
Clamor: Such a beautiful song! I must hear MORE!

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 be 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.
