If anyone wants more stuff to read, this is cut-and-paste from the binds I set up when I ran this with my SG. In addition to these 'introductory binds', I also had a bunch for various points as we proceeded through the trial. Amusingly, it took me longer to set up the keybinds than it did for us to complete the trial.
Okay, before we start the timer on this I want to go over a couple of things. There are a few points in the trial where some coordination is needed. On the ramps going down, there are crates with two kinds of weapons - Thermite Cannons and Particle Cannons. The Particle Cannons are the ONLY ATTACK that can hurt the Hydra head and they must go to tough heroes. The people with the Particle guns have to stand there during a long animation while the Hydra head tries to kill them.
The Thermite guns are useful against the tentacles ONLY and anyone without a powerful attack can take one. You can tell what is in a crate by clicking on it FROM FAR AWAY and your targeting window will tell you what it is.
Once we get to the bottom, we have to clear EVERY CRITTER EXCEPT THE HEAD but do NOT damage the four force field generators. Then we split up into 4 teams for the generators. We need to damage each down to about 10% HP, then wait for everyone to be ready. Then we take out the generators FAST and charge the Hydra head and shoot with the Particle guns only.
We do this until the force field goes back up. SOMEONE WITH A PARTICLE CANNON needs to be monitoring their combat tab to see when the damage stops. Then we go back to the generators, clear the Rikti repair teams and damage them down to 10% again. We should have to do that about four times total to take down the head (which does NOT regenerate between our attacks).

Please add Doctor Whatshisname to one of the teams. I'll see if Steele Blue is up for it, too.
Thank you.

Sigh. THIS trial. Put down Myztar please (lvl 50 bubbler) for the team who will most benefit from boosted defense. I would really like to obtain this badge... I'm familiar with the parameters of the mission.
Some days I just wake up cranky. Today might be one of those days...
Well, here's the dilemma... I'd like to bring either Garnet Star, lvl 40 Inv/Dual Blades Tanker or Taxibot Alana, lvl 44 Claws/Regen Scrapper or Falcon Star, lvl 43 Elec/Energy Blaster to help on Team One.
So whichever one would help the team most, please reserve a spot. Thank you
Ooh, I'll come! That is, if there's room, I don't want to take up anyone else's slot, but I've done this before, and I might be able to help out. But like I said, if someone else wants to go in my place, that's fine, but if you need the extra Taxi, I'll try to help out as much as I can! Either team is fine, just whoever needs a Belle tagging along! 
Yay, Infinity Taxis!!!
Try my City without Taxis story (1679) if you get a chance and let me know what you think!
(updating the roster)
We've been getting reports back from other teams in the Abandoned Sewer System. The Rikti have some creature down there contained with force field generators. Fortunately, the previous heroes have scouted out the area, so we have a plan of attack. Otherwise, who knows how the Rikti plan to use this creature against the city of Paragon.

Note 1: There is a 90 minute timer on this Trial, and we'll proceed with the following team plan:
Team Strategy:
-the Rikti have crates of weapons for containing the creature
-we should each obtain ONE of these weapons...do NOT be greedy
-due to their durability, scrappers and tankers should get particle cannons
-these weapons are extremely effective against the creature...apply these weapons liberally
-some weapons are best against the creature's tentacles, some weapons against its head
-to attack the creature, we need to interrupt power flow to the four force field generators
-we'll work in pairs on each force field generator
-because people do damage at different rates, we'll first bring the generators down to about 1/5
-then we'll simultaneously bring down the remaining 1/5 and then attack the creature as a full team
-make sure to pop purple and orange inspirations to extend your health when fighting the head
-after a short while, Rikti support teams will respond by restoring power to the generators
-at this point, our full team will clear the Rikti out, and then we split into pairs again
-the estimate is that we'll need to bring the generators down four times in this manner (hopefully three)

Don't worry, we have a high rate of success with this trial.
Everyone, also keep in mind if things don't work out on the first attempt, then don't quit the team right away. If everyone is keen, then the team lead can speak to the contact and proceed with a second attempt *without* needing to repeat the intial head hunting.

Johnny,
sorry for the delay. Steele Blue said that he'd like to do the Sewer Trial.
Please sign him up on the same team as I'm on.
Thanks!

That, too.
I am so sorry Johnny, but please remove me from the roster. I totally forgot that we will have a house full of guests that day and I'd better concentrate on preparation for our guests!
Best to all the teams!

Hey, Belle - I'm usually up for these and can't make it this week - family reunions (yes, that's plural!).
Not that I have a "regular" place since the team rotates a bit....
I hope to see everyone next week! Are we still going to be doing anything with all the Rikti 'porting in?

Surely. We can undertake some task vital to the city's security and beat down the Rikti on our smoke breaks.
