Good story. 
Glad everyone had fun, I was bummed I couldn't join when the call went out yesterday. I don't have any blues high enough on Liberty to help with these yet. Need to do something about that... hmmm...
Gratz! Still one that I need... one day. Nice story to go along with it.

The order for the towers is easier if you do yellow, red then green. You don't need to take down blue.

Oh well..

Well now that I have the badge I can help anyone out trying it. I have (hero wise):
A Willpower/Ice Melee Tanker, Fire/Fire Scrap or BS/Shield Scrap, Mind/Emp Controller (which I've been IO'ing out to hopefully be great for MoSTF runs since sleeps work well against the final 4 AVs ), Elec/Energy Blaster, Storm/Psy Def. or TA/A Def. or Kin/Rad Def....or a WS or a PB :P

Yesterday around 5pm or so I got a group of friends/sgmates and one pickup person to try to get the MoSTF badge. The team make-up was as follows:
)
" This time I was on the other side of the room and thought for sure I wouldn't get to him to ID him before he dies but I jumped away and tried to get to him...by the time I ID'ed him I noticed he just used some BFs and some greens...hooray crisis averted for the 3rd time! 
So we finally cleared all the vines (seemed like it took 20-30 mins or so). Killed the AV with no issues: 3 missions down, 2 to go.
So I think we defeated about 4 or 5 Chiefs before we got the key. Went in and defeated the AVs without an issue (although one of the Controllers I think was close to death when we started to fight the Night Widows/Wretch...darn psy nukes...but no death. We get to Aeon and I've been in MoSTF runs where I've died (or others) when we've gotten too close to Dr. Aeon/melee/pbaoe range of them...so we all stayed at range except DE. Defeated Aeon with no issues. 4 missions down, 1 to go.
So I explain to all what we are trying to do, "DE will pull GW, I keep ID on him everyone else stay at range and kill her....if Sci comes, kill him first." You know the usual. So DE and I do the tp pull 'trick' and here comes GW. Waiting....and...what? Scirocco didn't come?! 
Nice! So we pound on GW (all from range obviously) while I keep ID on DE. She phases DE at one point when she was about 25% HP left and luckily DE still had her attention and then I think when the 'taunt' was about to wear off and DE was still phased the holds finally held her and then by the time holds wore off DE was back to taunting 
So hooray...GW is down...the "hardest part" is done right? 
I didn't see any repairmen but somehow Red respawned. So...back to the red tower. And while that happened the flier respawned! But we ignored it and it went away/did its patrols. Took down the red tower again then went for the blue tower.
Much sadness and angry feelings arose. 
(granted 20+ mins was waiting for Gray Banshee but still 
)
Me (Kin/Rad Defender)
Defensive End (Stone Armor/Energy Melee Tanker)
Aculeus (Assault/Energy Blaster)
Radiant Fallacy (Illu/Rad Controller)
White Lionheart (Illu/Rad Controller)
Eyil (Fire/Fire Blaster)
Police Woman (AR/Devices Blaster)
Gray Banshee (Dark/Sonic Defender) (the pickup, good teammate!
So we start the TF and the first mission goes relatively well with very few 'threats' of death, we exit. 1 mission down, 4 to go.
The second mission went fine no issues: 2 missions down, 3 to go.
The third mission we just skipped the CoT mobs and had DE run to the back and tp us. Cleared the CoT mobs in the last room with no issues. DE was going to stay in the middle since he could handle the AV shooting at him while the rest of us tried to go around and clear the rest of the vines. Was starting okay...but then got down to around 9 or so vines and then...yeah...vines started to respawn....and kept respawning. After about 5 mins of this I got an AIM message (I play CoH in windowed mode so that I can talk on AIM if needed to without minimizing CoH). The message was from my best friend (who used to play this game) and he just said, "hi" and I was already nervous because of doing the MoSTF run and trying not to fail again so when I saw his message I was like, "ah man, he's going to be like "let's hang out together now! I'll be at your house in 10 mins!" type of conversation and since he'll be leaving for Afghanistan for a few months I definitely would have but I just said "hi" back and asked him what's up but he never replied. So back to the vines and oh look one of the Blasters has aggro of the AV...turning red..."that's it" I thought...well I was able to ID him/her and the 'trollers healed him/her (or they popped greens *shrugs*)...hooray crisis averted!
So we're still clearing vines as they keep respawning...and then oh look one of the Controllers has the AV's attention...and he's in the red...again got ID on him/her and they healed him/her. Clearing and then a different Blaster gets the AV attention and I was like, "seriously...again?
The fourth mission we always waited for the 2nd ambush to come and we'd squash it then move on to the next Chief just cause we wanted to be more careful than usual
The final mission we cleared both 'aisles' leading to the 4 AVs just in case
So DE and I tp pull Sci and Sci doesn't come....immediately. Black Scorpion comes and at first no Sci so I say, "bah...kill BS"...so we start attacking him then, there he is! Sci comes :P Sci zaps (or does something) to me/or someone that I was too close to and bam I'm down to 25% health or less...I go "eek" and pop a few purples and greens to keep alive and DE taunts Sci and then we all go for Sci first. I was actually surprised Mako didn't come either but *shrugs* whatever...So we smack down Sci with no issues after that and I think to myself, "oh my...2 of the 'hardest' AVs down...no deaths....could this be?!" So we take down Black Scorpion and left with Mako. We pull Mako and smack him down. All AVs down!
Gray Banshee had to reboot his PC because it was acting up so figured this was the best time for him to do so since 4 AVs were down. So we wait...and...wait....a good 20+ mins or so waiting for him. I was tempted to move on not knowing if he'd come back or not and I'm getting hungry (didn't have dinner cause I didn't think it'd take 'this long') but was like, "we'll give him another 5 or so minutes before we move on." Luckily he did come back and says, "stupid Windows Updates" :P Ah that's why it took so long
So DE and I tp'ed pulled the 2 side mob groups that are near the LR statue just so that when we fought the flier there would be less mobs to worry about. We do that and then we take on the flier (took him on when it was to the right of the statue). I think one (maybe two?) had a few health issues with some of the Banes that the flier spawns going after them but no deaths...flier is down! So we clear the last of the mobs near/around the statue and DE pops some purples and he charges in and starts tanking/taunting LR. The 2 Controllers put RI and EF on LR and Gray puts on DN on LR. White Lionheart stays with DE to help with any heals (but was hopefully always far away enough from DE/LR to not get hit with LR's PBAoE attack or cone attacks). The rest of us started to take out the red tower. Then something happened, not sure what since I wasn't paying attention, but White Lionheart dropped to yellow/red health and looked like he was going to die (maybe got too close? don't know) and "eep, no not now!" type of mentality running through my head...but luckily no deaths...we keep pounding away at the red tower. Finally we destroyed the red tower and said, "hooray, blue tower....wait..." then the red tower respawned!
I must have been too close because I got the flier's attention and it did its missile attack and I backed away noticing that (and the icon below my health) and said "flier aggro, back off a bit" and then stupid me after I got damaged from the blast (not sure why the damage is delayed like it is) almost forgot to pop a few greens to keep me alive. Then a few seconds later I was like, "hey dummy pop a green or two!" So I used them and a few purples...no deaths. The flier continued on its patrol and we continued trying to take down the blue tower. This must have taken awhile because the flier came to its spawning point and was attacking us...at first thought I was going to say, "fall back (away from aggro range)" but thought better and just had everyone attack the flier. Had another few close calls (I think mainly from the bombs that the flier sends out) but no deaths. Flier down for the 2nd time and back to the blue tower. We took out the blue tower and headed for the yellow (orange) tower next.
We took out this tower without any issues and moved to the green tower. Again no issues here, then on to LR. At this point I was thinking, "oh my....this is it....so close...." So we all stay at range (only person in melee range was DE) and we smack down LR! Task Force Complete! Master of the STF badge awarded to all!
According to the screenshot I have it took 2 hours, 30 minutes and 8 seconds to do the TF
Now I don't have to continually kick myself about messing up when I did a Master of STF run years ago when it first came out. Helly, Shad, Monkeybutt, myself and other Legion peeps/friends did the TF but no one knew the exact reqs. for the badge beyond 'no deaths'....so we completed the TF with 0 deaths (couple close calls) but...no badge because I didn't set the "no temp powers"
So happy to finally have this badge on EI....afterwards I figured out how long I've been trying to get the badge. The badge came out in Issue 11....Issue 11 came out Nov. 27 (28th?), 2007. So 2 yrs, 1+month, 2.5 hours later and I finally have the badge!
Again thanks to all who were apart of this!
P.S. Also glad that when I was originally looking for the last person/pickup person to join us I was sending out /tells to see if they'd want to join. One person said, "how long does it take?" I replied back, "1 hour...but to be on the safe side, 1.5 hours" He replied back, "oh no ty then..I have a dinner date tonight so I don't want to ruin it/rush it." Glad he said that...2.5 hours is a bit later than 1.5
