Hey {Hero.gender=male man|babe}, you wanted info? I GOT you some info. So check this juicy stuff out.
There's this hero, goes by the name of Ajax. Guy was the last surviving member of the Omega Team. Crazy stuff right? Omega Team, they're the guys that went on that suicide mission to stop the Rikti in the first Rikti War.
So this guy, Ajax, yeah? Totally starts getting all depressed that he's the last one left on the team, the whole, 'Boo hoo, I watched all my friends die, it's all my fault.' {Hero.gender=male What a wimp, right?| Now I'm a sensitive guy, if you're into that, but this guy was a wimp on an epic scale.}
Years later, that whole time capsule left by the Omega Team is opened, and BAM! Juicy info flows out of it, like nectar out of a nectar-flowing machine!
Turns out Ajax was just a thug who killed the REAL Ajax and somehow got his powers of invulnerability! Man, if that's not juicy, I don't know what is. Can you believe all that?

Mother Mayhem
There are many little rogue psychics within Praetoria, {HeroName}. I do try to have each and every one of them visit my hospital so that they may one day serve Praetoria in a better way. But some... some insist on tarnishing my good name, belitting what my daughters stand for! I can't allow this, Mother won't stand for this any longer.
I send my little girls to handle them, and what do I see on my doorstep? Destruction! Death! Hubris!
Ahem... I get oh so angered at the situation. I am speaking, of course, about the Syndicate and their little psychics. Oh, they thought they could hide from Mother's gaze, but they can't any longer. I sent some of my best girls to bring them in, {HeroName}, but oh, it was awful, just awful! The Syndicate slaughtered my precious girls, leaving their bodies in front of my hospital.
Do you think you could deal with these bad psychics for me? I would hate for any of my girls to get hurt, ever again.

Vincent Ross/Self Narration
We have little else to speak about, {HeroName}. All that's left is to go into the caves that the Coralax inhabit and recover the three remaining pieces of Blood Coral. When that is done, we can merge them with what we have already and begin our conquest of Sharkhead Isle and the Legacy Chain!
While the prospect of unlimited power may be at your fingertips, there seem to be many odd happenings during your short time with Vincent; the whisper from the Blood Coral, Vincent's possible 'disease', and his fear of getting taken over by the Blood Coral. Many people have been destroyed in the past by not understanding the power they're taking. You'll have to look for more research on this Blood Coral in the Coralax cavern to prevent yourself from meeting the same fate.

Dream Doctor
{Hero.type=hero It's suiting that you would be the one, I assume once again, to be in charge of saving the world.|I know this isn't your normal deal, saving the world and all, but I appreciate you stepping up to the responsibility.} If we're going to do this, we're going to need a literal army of our own to face off against Mot.
While you've been finding out how to destroy Mot, I've been spreading word of our plight across the world, telling the people that now is the time for us to fight, to put aside our differences. I assumed that if our plans all failed, our last attempt would be for all the powers of the world to throw themselves at Mot in the hopes of wiping it out. But now, we have a new plan.
I've instructed all those who I've talked to of a time and place to gather. I've requested those of a less... savory attitude to put their villainy aside, and those of a more righteous view to focus on the task at hand. We must all band together to fight the monstrous horde of Mot so that you can get to the Sentinel and destroy the creature from the inside.
Player Response: Do you know if anyone will actually help?
We'll see soon enough, {HeroName}. All we can do now is use the time that has been given to us. We will do what we can with whoever has shown up, but we'll have to hurry. Mot is beginning to consume entire cities, {HeroName}. We've received word that nearly the entire population of Chicago has been absorbed by Mot. We do not know what city could be next.
With the Sentinel on our side, Mot will have no major individual force to back it up, just a horde of monsters. You will have to carve a path through them and reach the Sentinel, while whoever else shows up provides enough of a distraction that Mot's attention is divided.
Let us go to the meeting place, {HeroName}, where the fate of the world shall be determined once and for all.

Penelope Yin
Rusty, the Mirror Kingdom is going to be in chaos if all the teddy bears are stolen away! The evil Glowball wants to use them for his own evil deeds. Glowball used to be like you, Rusty, he used to be my bestest friend! But now... Glowball thinks he knows what's best. He's become like the Shadowlord!
I miss how Glowball used to be, it hurts me a lot to see him like this. That's why I need your help, Rusty! Glowball is working together with those Black Knights now, they want to make him really powerful. These aren't the Black Knights that the Good King leads though. That's why we need to find out why the Black Knights have allied themselves with Glowball!
Player Response: Who... what? Glowball?
You see several images flash before you. One of Metronome, another of possessed Clockwork. The last is an image of members of the Syndicate. It would appear Penelope is trying to encode a message to you. The Syndicate are helping Metronome possess more Clockwork. While it does hurt Cole, Metronome also seeks to steal away Clockwork that the Resistance have. The Syndicate helping Metronome can only lead to something bad for both Cole and the Resistance.
The Black Knight, West, is one of the knights that are helping Glowball, Rusty! You need to hurry and find him, Glowball's evil influence is spreading by the minute. If you don't stop him, he'll wipe out everyone in Mirror Kingdom!

Number Six
You read my mind! ... Wait, did you really? I hope not, I never liked mind readers. Ah... not that I don't like mind readers, but, well, you get what I'm trying to say.
If you can recover the sonic fence equipment, the Vanguard truck outside of the warehouse will bring it back and assemble it all to get Last Bastion.
I'd also try to investigate what that power signature is down there. It could be another ally we could use in this whole thing. Well, it could also be a super that Hamidon has infested, which means that we'll take down another agent of Hamidon! Good news, right?
In the meantime, I'm going to be using my abilities to scan the area near Last Bastion for any large gatherings of Devouring Earth; the attack that you stopped came from underground nearby. I think we can make things safer if we can take more of the fight to this creature!

Aaron Walker
Hey, so, you know all about me, right? Read the papers? Or the televisions? Maybe not? Well, here's the quick lowdown, because I'm not here to waste time. I used to be Lightspeed, best hacker in Praetoria. 'Till they threw me in the BAF. Turns out they don't like hackers 'round here. Thing is though, I ain't all reformed. Reformed? Hah! Not me, not ever. I'm out to stick it to Neuron, to reveal all the stuff he's been doing. Like me, for instance. He did some sorta experiment on me, trying to increase the intelligence of the average citizen. Things didn't go perfectly, so he up and abandoned the project.
Now, I got myself thinking a mile a minute on a slow minute, you got me? I already got this entire plan thought out. S'why I've been trying to get in touch with the Resistance, you know? My brain's gonna fry soon, dunno when it'll be. All I know is the headaches get worse every week. I wanna do something before my brain goes BLAM. It ain't gonna be pretty, but that's fine. Well, it'll be fine once we take it to Neuron. If you're gonna have my help, though, you gotta do me a favor.
