Conveniences
Now that Faultline is a city zone, it comes with a Trainer (Mirror Spirit), a hospital, stores, and a Reputation contact.

From the notes of James Stark, for the upcoming documentary Faultline Reborn, produced for the Emmert News Corporation.
Two years after the Rikti invasion, the rebuilding of Paragon City had begun as a directive of Measure X. One of the principal locations targeted for the reconstruction effort was the area once called Overbrook, but known better today as Faultline.
The Overbrook rebuild had been underway for almost 6 months and the first neighborhood, New Overbrook, was close to completion. Under the combined protection of heroes and a small taskforce of the Paragon Police Department, the workers installed structural support-braces and started filling in major trenches in the area.
All seemed to be going well. It always does just before the storm hits.

This bit wasn't on the Euro version! I was wondering what 'Measure X' was!
... hey, what IS 'Measure X'?
Also: 'Emmert News Corporation'. Heee!
Very sweet. I especially like the Sneak Preview about the green line in the south end of Skyway in I9.
Edit: I also find it amusing that the Freedom Corps and Paragon Police are listed under New Villain Groups.
Awesome write up!! It must be nice to be able to write yourself into the Freedom Phalanx. 
Grats on earning that accolade.
The most interesting thing I found though was this.

Oh really? The construction of new metro stops. I wonder if there might be any other new stops....

I see that the explanation for the flood has something to do with seismic disturbances on the moon. Hmmmmmm I wonder if we'll get to go to the moon to investigate these distubances? Very interesting....

C'mon, Arctic! Use your pull as a temporary secretary for the Phalanx to influence city policy and get us a Green Line stop in Founders Falls.
Also, I liked the "Oh yes. There are Easter eggs." line. A little sense of humor goes a long way in this community.

Zloth, the activity was SO severe that the moon rapidly lost distance between itself and the Earth. Thus the tide changes.
Things have gone back to normal because Statesman pushed the moon back into its prior orbit.
Or.. something...
yea, yea.. the moon.... it's alive! The seismic activity was gas. It farted, got shoved toward earth causing tidal upheaval. Statesman gave it some pepto and shoved it back into proper orbit.
Yea... that's it.
Be well, people of CoH.

Finally! We (hardcore CoV-ers) can finally see our "generous" benefactor, Lord Recluse, actively pursuing some of his promises. Maybe you capes will have to deal with a few Crab Spider Battalions!
Seriously, though, that's pretty sweet. It's like Nerva (Longbow patrols) for CoH!

Nice.
Too bad the entire zone, the storylines, the contacts, and the easter eggs are pretty much totally useless for those of us who already outleveled the zone.

What? You can't explore? God, life must suck at 50!!
I was confused by the article. On the one hand, it was stated that the zone is open to anyone of all levels (and I believe I wandered into it on test). However another part of the article talked about travel powers and how you could go earlier than 14 previously, so you didnt have travel powers, so now the security clearance levels are 15-25.
So, is this zone open, or not? Or was the security clearance restriction simply a comment on the levels of foes, which would mean that most players adventuring there for real would have the minimum level needed for travel?
I found it a bit confusing.

*deep breath*
Maybe the seismic activity is only a symptom of whatever also caused the tidal changes. Maybe a mysterious force suddenly teleported in huge quantities of neutronium for some nefarious purpose. Or maybe the Lunar Gopher-Men developed a matter-transmitting tunnel digger and accidentally hollowed out a large portion of the moon.
