Go into contacts and at the top it says signature story arcs. Click and start the second arc.
If you are VIP (and unless the forum software is being wonky and showing your name in goldenrod when you aren't VIP) just open your Contacts tab. At the top is the Signature Story Arcs entry.
Click the button labeled Access. It will open an entry allowing you to select SSA #1 (Who Will Die) or SSA #2 (Pandora's Box). Clicking the entry to Access Volume 2 will open another window. To start the first Episode click the Begin Episode 1 entry.
That will open the dialog allowing you to accept the mission and start it.
The contact is Lastri Kayumanis in Sharkhead.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

For the villain SSA 2.1, you have to do a little prologue mission before you can start the arc proper, but it's not a tip, it's in the Signature Story Arcs window.
D'oh, totally missed the Redside part of the title.
Editing my post above to reflect that.
EDIT: Oddly enough, the ParagonWiki entry for Lastri Kayumanis says that you need to complete the Tip mission A Window of Opportunity before you can begin the arc. Time for me to test what the truth is on one of my few villains I guess. Do premiums that haven't bought access to the Alignment system have access to Tips?
EDIT Part Deux: Okay, that's odd, talking to Lashtri tells me that I have to complete the Tip mission first. Looking at my Tip window, I don't see it listed. But, going through the Signature Story Arcs entry on the Contacts tab allows me to get to the Begin Prologue entry that selects that Tip mission. Really strange design there.

Thanks for the assist. I am VIP so I knew I should have access but went directly to the contact as opposed to going through the window.
How does one go about acquiring the tip mission necessary to start the arc? Just play and hope it drops?
