Your News at 11, G-cell Heist Gone Bad, 19Mar24

Trish: This is Trish Takanawa, Senior Metahuman Affairs correspondent for Paragon News, reporting from Independence Port.
I'm with relative newcomer, Blitz, recent recruit for the neophyte Super Group, The Justice Redeamers. Blitz, word has it 
that you recently arrested a group of Outcasts in the Liberty Quay area.
Blitz: That I did, Trish. I received a tip that a group of them were trying to lift a shipment of G-cells from a government storage facility.
Trish: G-cells? Care to elaborate for our viewers?
Blitz: Sure. G-cells are from one of the giant monsters the late hero Talos fought back in the 1960s. No one has been able to unlock their genetic secrets and control the effect of the experiments since, but science continues to try. Some think it's the key to making metahumans, made to order. That's why the government has them on strict lockdown.
Trish: So, in a sense a stable super soldier formula without the mutational effects of Superadine.
Blitz: Exactly. The Trolls, along with the Skulls and the Family control the trade of "Supes". As you know, they're known as the Superadine Connection and are in direct competition with the Outcasts, along with the Hellions and the Warriors.
Trish: Is there any evidence the Outcasts are trying to use any drugs created with G-cells to build their own cadre of metahumans? It's well-known Trolls gain super strength and resistance due to Supes mutation.
Blitz: No evidence at this time, but I can't rule that possibility out. The Trolls and Outcasts have been slugging it out pretty heavy in the area lately. I can see the Outcasts looking for any advantage available.
Trish: Do you have any information on whether the Outcasts were acting for the gang, or at the behest of an outside party?
Blitz: Not at this time. At this point in the investigation, any possibility is as valid as the next.
Trish: Thank you, Blitz. There you have it folks. Is Paragon about to see a spike in superhuman criminals or a new designer drug fueling yet another drug war? We'll keep you updated as new information comes in. This has been Trish Takanawa reporting. Back to you, Bob.

[Forum Feature Requests]

I'd also like to see server specific forums. Other games, including CoX, got me to expect them and so them as part of the community aspect.

[Virtue Roll Call!]

I'm the guy in red in the middle back. One of my alts.

[Virtue Roll Call!]

Blitzkreiger, only level 50 I had. NRG/NRG blaster. I had a lot of other Virtue toons as well.

 

Last toon I made was a Legacy character named Kid Extra II, a descendant of a character from Pin-Up Girl's backstory. Got to meet her, her husband she met in-game and Ascendant once for a very large group photo. I'll have to see if i can track that down. 

[Anyone have a Stone/Stone build?]

I had a stone/stone villain. I don't think he got over level 25, but he was a tough customer.

[Does anyone still use VirtueVerse or is there something better?]

VirtueVerse is down last I heard. I used to visit it pretty regularly back in the day. I only had one toon on there, but his page was only about 75% complete.
