Operative Rutger: What the heck, dude?

So, Operative Rutger is this guy: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Operative_Rutger

He gives you a mission to prove that he can trust you. Then he sends you to bust up a Longbow base. Then to hijack a tanker in Cap au Diable. He's in the [censored] end of Nerva, but alright.

But what gets me is that by the time you've taken over the tanker and completed your third mission for the bugger, he STILL hasn't given you his cell number! So you have to trek all the way back to Nerva, and this is what really 'made' it...:

His big master plan is for you to sail the tanker you just hijacked to paragon city. Necessitating a trip back to Cap au Diable.

You would think that given he is trusting you enough by this point, three missions in, to hijack a tanker, he'd give you his damn cellphone number. Most contacts seem to give it after the first mission.

Meh.

There was a comic in the City Scoop semi-recently on the same subject. The Statesman saying something along the lines of "I need to count on you to save the world. The whole world!" and wouldn't give out his phone number because he didn't want weirdos calling him all the time.

Well just be glad the majority of Villains is notMuli-zone Arcs. But the nice thing about Rutget is you get 2 Heros (3-6 if you count Inferno's Pets)

Personally, I think it's because he got tired of RMT offers being texted to his cell phone.

He left his cell phone in one of those Longbow bases, he's too embarrassed to go get it himself.

I think the Paragon City and Rogue Isles cellphone providers are still stuck in their pre-Rikti-war rate plans. Why else would everyone be so stingy with their calls?

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

Oh you whiny villains. Having to hop between zones for some of your missions for this one contact. Heroes have been doing this since day one and EVERY hero contact was sending you all over Pargon City. It's been 5 frikkin' years, and they are STILL doing it. No wonder Heroes are kicking your Villainous tails from one end of Independence Port to the other.
