It'll probably end up being someone like Ms. Liberty, but I'll stand by my first pick. I do have my reasons for this line of thinking, but mostly I like the underdog choices.

However, I console myself with the idea that because Sorina Tavarisch does not actually exist in canon, Posi just decided to settle. *tongue-in-cheek grin*

As for who Anti-Matter's calling... I'm personally guessing either Dark Watcher or Dr. Sheridan, both of whom have cropped up on Praetorian Earth. Though it'd really be funny if Anti-Matter calls either Positron or Synapse!

I'd imagine that would be especially prevalent in the ones populated by super-monkey equivalents of all the heroes...

The grammar nazi in me looked at the first sentence,

Still, a nice story with some interesting hints.

Am I the only one that assumed it was Anti-Matter and not Positron who sent the message to Dr Colston, and that Dr Colston is a Preatorian spy turned anti-Tyrant and now Anti-Matter is making a similar turn?

We are getting some sort of Praetorian Invasion event in the month of May, probably similar to the Rikti/Zombie Invasion stuff. If fact, there is even a hint that Rikti Invasions may occur too. No details announced yet as to mechanics, this is just the backstory behind it.

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Actually, Merriam-Webster.com recently did a piece that explained why it's okay to end a sentence in a preposition. Like many of their previous pieces, such as the octopi/octopuses debate, it boils down to "English is not Latin, no matter how much some jerk faces in the 1600s wanted it to be."

"This is just the sort of thing up with which I will not put."

Certainly possible. We don't even know whether Posi sent his e-mail to a woman. That's what Numina assumed, but he neither confirmed nor denied it.

So no PvP AVs this year? Bummer. My mastermind still needs Recluse's Inner Circle, and that's pretty obviously not going to be happening in the actual PvP zones.

If you put the Anti-Matter section of this post just before the Dr. Colston section of it, he could be sending it to her? Is she undercover in the Rogue Isles for Praetoria? (I don't recall her lore off the top of my head.)

edit: Doh. Beaten to this idea by Irish Fury.

No offense, but...the amount of effort that went into ignoring the first post, typing tl;dr version please, then waiting for replies...you certainly could have gleaned this information by glancing through. Right?

Seriously? I hear that the RV AVs have been getting chumped with a quickness by players with Incarnate powers. Just grab a team of like-minded players together and go nuts.

Heck, if you're on Victory, I'll join in any time it's convenient.
