Shae_Firewarder

Grad student Tom Qurtis didn't have much to add. Or say really. He would only confirm or refute other's statements, and would not volunteer any. He confirms that Shae warned them of danger. He confirms that Shae incapacitated Dr. Contrerez. Mr. Qurtis was one of the people who carried Dr Contrerez out of that dimension.

Grad student Dee Whithers is a reluctant witness against Shae Firewarder. She is willing only to dispute parts of Dr. Contrerez's story, and not willing to comment on other parts. According to Ms. Whithers, Shae warned them of danger and asked them to get back to Paragon city immediately. According to Ms. Whithers, this seemed relatively plausible as this was wilderness, and researchers have been endangered on "portal jaunts" previously. Ms. Whithers brought our attention to the release of liability form that all the researchers had to sign before going through the portal. Apparently the form releases Portal Corporation from liabilty from any harm suffered including mutilation, death and any biological or magical changes suffered because of travel through the portal or things encountered on the other side. Also according to Ms. Whithers, Dr Contrerez grabbed a box of equipment from Ms. Whithers in a violent fashion, when he was disputing the decision by the researchers to follow Shae's advice and leave this dimension.

Dr Sonra White is a zoologist working for Portal Corporation. According to Dr. White, Shae Firewarder, whom Dr. White recognized from news broadcasts, came into the clearing where the scientists were only beginning to set up equipment, and ordered them all to head back across the portal. Dr. Contrerez began to dispute the orders, and Shae insisted that if they stayed here, their lives were in danger. Several of the doctors and researchers present began to pack up, but Dr Contrerez began to interfere. Whereupon, Shae Firewarder, muttered something that sounded like, "There is no time for this," and incapacitated Dr. Contrerez. The researchers then carried Dr. Contrerez and their equipment back across the portal into our dimension.Dr. Sonra White, described Ms Firewarder's outfit as, "brown and black leather, and hard to see in the woods we were in."

Dr. Raul Contrerez, a botanist working for the Portal corporation filed an assault complaint against the Hero known as Shae Firewarder today. According to Dr Contrerez, he was in a newly opened dimension collecting samples of plant material when a woman, later identified as Shae Firewarder, ordered him and the other scientists to get back across the portal. Disputing the orders of this woman, whom he did not know and who looked like some woodland ruffian(His words. Another witness, Dr. Sonra White, described her outfit as, "brown and black leather, and hard to see in the woods we were in") Dr. Contrerez stood his ground and refused to leave. Dr. Contrerez then states that the woman threw smoke in his eyes and mouth causing him to choke and then when he attempted to run into the woods she hit him with her fist, knocking him out. When he awoke he was back in Peregrine Island, on the floor, and the portal was closed, and unpowered. Dr Contrerez intends to press charges

The scientists hurried out of the portal, looking behind them. The first two across were carrying the unconscous body of a third, while the remaining scientists lugged all the equipment that they had so hopefully carried across the threshold in the other direction seemingly minutes before.

Shae Firewarder followed them through like a guard dog herding sheep, looking grim. She looked at the huddled bunch of rescuees for just a moment and strode purposefully to the controls of the portal. Looking over the shoulder of the technician at the controls, she thought briefly how useful it was to have tech savvy friends...you could pick up a few bits of information from simple contamination sometimes. She memorized the coordinates showing on his screen, and then, bumped the tech. Apologizing to the poor tech, who suddenly started coughing, she tapped a few keystrokes on the keyboard, and then knelt next to the still coughing and choking tech to reach under the desk. She flipped open a panel, and reached in to disengage a board and then pull the wires from it. Hearing the beginings of a commotion behind her, she called fire to her hands and the board and the chips on it melted to slag.

She knew the records would still be there somewhere; all she had done was delay the inevitable.

As she walked out of Portal Corporation, barely ahead of the growing disturbance, she wondered at the things one did sometimes simply because there was no choice...no choice at all....

I did this when I ran out of current missions at 39. I didn't try for particular missions at the time, I was just desperate enough for any missions that I went back to talk to a few outleveled contacts and got a story arc. Since I like the story arcs, I did it a few times before I leveled up to 40 and my current contacts would give me things to do(no...I didn't level on the old missions, I helped friends with their missions for exp. I just like the stories).

One thing to watch out for, though....when I did this, the missions were grey, but the ambushes associated with the missions were my level.

Thanks for the clue that if you are persistent enough you can get the mission. The next time I am short things to do(which may be a while, actually) I'll go nag a contact.

When you(as a kinetic) join the team to discover that it is made up of energy blasters and a storm defender, and they expect you to be the main healer.

(That list was pretty thorough. It will take me a few teams to add more, I think )
