Investigate the electrical anomoly

Good to see you. My electrical senses have been picking up some strange currents. I want you to patrol Steel Canyon and investigate the electrical anomaly. You up to it?

I've been seeing a lot of Clockwork over there, but I don't see how they could cause an electrical disturbance. After all, the Clockwork King operates them telekinetically, not with electricity.

You'll need a code name if you're going to be working in the field. I think Task Force Velocity has a nice ring to it.

Synapse led you to the right place... a tinge of ozone permeates the air.

Mission Complete: On one of the Clockwork you defeated you found a power routing device.

Power Router

This electrical device can be used to harness electrical energy from a large source. You found it on a Clockwork minion.

The Clockwork were carrying some kind of power router, huh? It's interesting, but it still doesn't explain the electrical disturbance in Steel Canyon.

I'll show this poeer router to Positron and ask for his opinion. If I can ever get him to stop sharing it with me, I'll let you know what he thinks the Clockwork may be up to.

You're doing quite well, Task Force Velocity.

Hit the streets and thin the numbers of the Clockwork

Something is definitely afoot with the Clockwork. They are swarming all over the place, especially Steel canyon. I need you to hit the street and thin the numbers of the Clockwork. If you're lucky, maybe you'll learn something more about that strange power router you found on that Clockwork robot.

This won't be easy, but I know I can count on you and your comrades.

I'll hang onto that power router you found until I can talk to Positron about it.

Mission Complete: Missing

Second power routing device

Synapse the speedster contacted you after detecting an electrical anomaly in Steel Canyon. While checking it out, you found a Clockwork minion carrying an electrical power router.

One of those little robots was carrying another power router? Ok, this is starting to make me really edgy. That's the second one we've found.

I really think you need the always brilliant, but usually long-winded advice of Positron. He may have some insight on those power routers you found the Clockwork carrying.

Go talk to Positron

Positron has the scope on those power routers you found on the Clockwork. I need you to go talk to Positron right now. He'll tell you what to do.

Please do whatever Positron asks of you.

Positron is beaming with pride over your actions, Red Tomax. You protected all those power substations from the Clockwork. All that's left now is to find their headquarters of operation and shut it down.

Positron has been working on some kind of gizmo to help you find the Clockwork's headquarters. Let me know when you are ready to try it out.

Find the Clockwork Headquarters

We're all grateful that you stopped the CLockwork plot to divert Steel Canyon's power, Task Force Inertia. But the job's far from over. I want you to find the Clockwork headquarters. Positron built a scanner that should help us find them. Start in Steel Canyon, and check in at the patrol boxes as you scan the area.

Just keep moving, and the scanner should accumulate enough data to locate the Clockwork's headquarters.

Makeshift scanner

This scanner was cobbled together by Positron. It detects the large concentration of metal typically used in the construction of Clockwork. It's also sensitive to the unique mental signature generated by the Clockwork King when he controls his minions telekinetically.

I really owe you one for clearing up the trouble in Steel Canyon for me. With heroes like you around, the Clockwork will never find a way to steal Steel Canyon's power.

The Clockwork King sure wanted to get his hands on Steel Canyon's power. It seems that his base of operations has got to be either there, or in one of the nearby city zones. It's only a matter of time before we find him.

It won't be long before then name Task Force Velocity is on everybody's lips.

Run a patrol in Steel Canyon

That last Clockwork scheme was scary, Task Force Velocity. If you guys hadn't stopped them, the Clockwork woudl have rerouted all Steel Canyon's power to their own base! We can't let these activities continue. I think it's time to track down the Clockwork King.

I've made a number of sweeps across Paragon City with a scanner that Positron made, and I think I have the possible locations narrowed down to Steel Canyon and Boomtown. I need you to run a patrol in Steel Canyon. See if you can dig up any leads on the Clockwork King's hideout.

We need a new lead; I am beginning to suspect that the King has found a way to shield himself against Positron's scans.

Mission Complete:

Nothing on the patrol, eh? Well, that's all right. We'll find the Clockwork King's hideout, never fear.

In fact, I think I may have a lead. A big Clockwork called Bertha was spotted going into an abandoned office not too far away. Check it out.

Clockwork Immobilizer MkI
Ranged, Clockwork Hold

This Clockwork piece you found looks very distinctive. I bet we can trace it.

I will do a quick search and find out where this Clockwork part came from. Maybe it can lead us to the King himself.

Go talk to the Foreman

I was right. After a quick scan, I was able to locate the warehouse where that distinctive Clockwork part originated. Go talk to the formeman. I let him know you would drop by.

This place has been hit by the Clockwork several times. The foreman sounds pretty unhappy about it.

Clockwork Immobilizer MkII
Ranged, Clockwork Hold

This is where the foreman was supposed to meet you. Suddenly you hear it: the sound of a Clockwork attack!

Mission Complete: You defeated the Clockwork and spoke to the warehouse foreman.

Foreman Conversation

The foreman you rescued told you, 'This is getting rediculous! These metal annoyances must have me on some kind of regular route! Synapse said you wanted to know more about that distinctive Clockwork part you found. Well, we manufactured it, all right. We only sent parts like that to three different locations; here they are.

Acording to the foreman, that part went to only three locations. I guess we better check 'em all; any one could be the Clockwork King's hideout.

Nothing to do now but check out the warehouses that had those unusual parts delivered. I'll bet anything that one of them is a Clockwork operation!

Investigate the first warehouse

We know those parts you found were delivered to only three locations. I think we need to check out each of the three warehouses. If we are lucky, this trail will lead to the big man himself: the Clockwork King!

I'm calling the first warehouse to mkae sure they know you're coming. Wait! They say they're under attack right now, and there are innocents in danger. Get moving!

Positron

Here you go, the Mark IV Clockwork Immobilizer. Save this for the King, it only has one charge!

You know this battle will be dangerous, but you can't suppress a grin.

Synapse's Cohort
Awarded for completing the final mission of the Task Force.

You did it, you put him down! I never had a doubt.

With the Clockwork King in captivity, perhaps we can find a way to contain his mental powers. I'm sure Positron and Sister Psyche can't wait to get started on that. Paragon City owes Task Force Velocity a great debt today, Red Tomax. This day will be remembered for a long time.
