    I don't think so. I remember seeing somewhere that there would be no newspaper/scanner missions in Praetoria. And what happened to you was exactly what happened to me. I'm not sure how long it's been since I'd logged in with that character, so I have no idea how old that mission was, but it had been at least a year.

    If there's a paper mission that's been removed, if you have a character that still has the mission, odd things occur. Usually it's some random mob group, with a guy that you need to take out called BOSS_NAME standing at the back. It just so happened that this time it was Nuron's Clockwork in the mission instead of Skulls or Hellions.

    I decided to log onto one of my many alts, partially from boredom, partially to get the anniversary badge for the 100+ alts I have. I've got a level 8 stalker, nrg/nrg that's been languishing on Infinity since this time last year that I decide to log on with. I log in and see that I'm standing at the entrance of a cave mission in Port Oakes and decide to pop in and finish it up.

    I stealth up and wander inside for a bit until I come across the actual mobs in the mission. When I found them, I was in for a bit of a shock:

    Now, I've run into this kind of bug before. It happens when you have a character that still have a paper mission that was removed for whatever reason. You tend to get a random enemy type and a generic setup in the mission. When it's happened before, it's always been something CoT or Wyvern or something. This time I lucked out and got Praetoreans!

    The animations look very cool on them. Their patterns of attack seem a bit odd. They have a single ranged attack that they cycle... and nothing else. No melee attack or anything else. One of the minions had a fire attack with -regen (that's going to suck), another had a pulse laser (energy DoT), and one of the lieutenants had this little antenna pop out of his back that fired a blast of lightning at me.

    I don't think they're finished yet, though. Partially because of the single attack each seem to have, but also because of the description of on of the mobs. There's a lieutenant called a Builder, whose description reads as if he should rez or maybe heal minions. I tried a few times and he only ever shot at me.

    They all looked very cool, though. Nicely detailed, and nice firing/attack/death animations. I look forward to seeing them when they're finished.

    Here's a link to the album I saved the screenshots in:
