After receiving your hero license, your contact asks you to meet detective Brogan, who has apparently asked for you by name. You did not suspect a simple tipoff would send you headfirst into unmasking a new drug cartel.

Souvenir

And empty Superadine vial

This vial still has a few drops of raw Superadine sticking to its walls, and is a memento of the events you remember as: <color #4169e1\>The Grim and the Green</color\>It started with a simple tip-off from an undercover police agent that the Skulls were planning to attack an underground dance club. The tip paid off, although you arrived too late to stop the Skulls from making off with their ill-gotten gains. You did, however, recover a map showing the location of their hideout.You arrived at the warehouse and recovered much more than the contents of the Skulls' latest raid, but also stumbled across a meeting between the Skulls and a mysterious businessman awaiting a leader of the Skulls called Grimoire. With the help of Manuel Ferris, the policeman who told you about the club raid you defeated the mysterious man. Despite this, however, he revealed nothing.Your contact informed you that this mysterious businessman was in fact Jimmy Five-Rings, a prominent underboss in the criminal organization known as "The Family". The word of your success also spread, scaring the members of the Skulls into moving a shipment of mysterious crates into a sewer. You raided the sewers and found out that the Skulls there were getting green skin and growing tusks. You took a few vials from the crates and returned to your contact. He told you that what you saw were the early stages of Superadine addiction, a Family-manufactured drug which gradually turned its users into Trolls. You returned to the warehouse you investigated earlier to find the Skulls were back and combing the warehouse at Grimoire's orders. You defeated their boss who revealed that Grimoire was growing increasingly unstable and happily handed over Grimoire's location as well as revealing that he was in fact Jimmy Five-Rings' cousin. All that was left by that point was to bring Grimoire to justice. With the help of Paragon's finest, you battled the now fully-transformed Grimoire and emerged victorious, only to find out it was all for naught. While you were battling, someone stole into the police's evidence vault and made off with all the evidence you accumulated, making it impossible to make a court case with what little remained.
