Ernesto Hess: Task Force Riddle! (WARNING: spoilers ahead)
Warning: The first five pics don't really contain any spoilers, but if you plan to do the Ernesto Hess Task Force and don't want to ruin the surprise, don't go further than that!
Over the weekend, Bunny was asked by Lars to get in touch with Ernesto Hess. Hess had the inside scoop in something big that was going on inside the volcano in Striga. With the help of a few other heroes, we formed Task Force Riddle to get to the bottom of the Council's plans.

Here we have Task Force Riddle meeting Hess for the first time in Striga. Task Force Riddle was
Bunny - our early leader
Overexposure - gravity controller extraordinaire
Talon - our energetic blaster
Dred - the formidable scrapper and late leader
Muffy - the"outgoing" blaster
Turbine Starr - our fiery blaster
and me - our simetimes tank, usually trying to be in too many places at once
Our investigation started out with some difficulty. The Council were clearly fighting hard to cover up their secrets! We lost Talon early on to other commitments. After some time, Hess steered us towards a series of radar stations to destroy so we could hamper the Council's ability to block our communication signals.
(Two)
Side-tracked by a bit of dancing in one of the radar stations.
The Council must have been playing with the space-time continuum, because after sacking the first radar station, we found ourselves once again at its doors. We took out the radar station again, and again ... each time finding ourselves back out in front of an unharmed station. Finally, with the assistance of GM's Cyprus and Humbert, we managed to destroy it for good and work our way to the other stations. One more unusual side effect: Dred ended up as our leader after this experience.
(Three)
The team storms through the warrens of a Council base.
Hess eventually sent us into the base where we destroyed some generators and eventually made our way to Archon Sadler, who was over-seeing an ambitious Council project.
(Four)
Taking out the Council generators.
We had to proceed without Muffy from this point as she was late for an important volleyball game. So now its just Bunny, Over, Dred, Turbine, and me left.
(Five - this is the last safe one!)
Battling in Archon Sadler in a control room.
Sadler confessed, the Council was up to something big. And now that we knew where Burkholder was and how to get in to the Volcano, it was time to confront him and his heinous plans to bring destruction to Paragon City.
Don't go any further if you think you may do this Task Force and don't want to ruin the surprise!
You know what they say about giant robot boots ...
... they're usually attached to a giant robot.
We fought our way up through the inside of the volcano, battling hordes of Council while trying to steer clear of the lava.
In the heart of the volcano.
When we finally made it to the top, we found Archon Burkholder.
Working towards Archon Burkholder.
Battling Archon Burkholder.
After a hard battle, and a few more surprises, we managed to defeat Archon Burkholder and claim the Burkholder's Bane badge, saving Paragon City from peril!
Many thanks to Dred, Turbine, Over, Muffy, and Bunny for a successful forray!
