You hear the X-Men over comms searching for you, and they urge you to amplify the sounds to help them find you. They realise you're on the train, and tell you to brace for impact.

Brace for impact!

The trap is sprung...

You are reunited! You watch as the train repairs itself but note that one wheel is still missing. You head along the train to the caboose and Gambit uncouples it from the rest of the train. Storm uses her abilities to push the caboose back towards town.

Raging wind

Beautiful view...

You arrive in town, and while Storm thinks, Kurt examines the radio he found. You help him listen in on Mojo, but Mojo realises that you're still alive. He and Spiral are sending drone crows your way. Spread out!

Murder of drone crows

Jumping the tracks...

Storm handles the crows while you climb back onto the train. You discover the boxcar is full of sand, and as the sand falls on Gambit and Kurt, they change, transforming into Noir versions of themselves. The crows attack the boxcar, causing Kurt to break his radio which then fixes itself. The boxcar falls and you have to swim.

Achtung!

Attention

When you reach the river bank, Kurt and Gambit are back to normal, and don't remember how they got into the river. Storm realises that the sand is working like millions tiny crystal transmitters and it's in everything in town. You need to head back, but first, Storm will help you dry off.

High and dry

Water treatment...

Kurt realises that his radio has been de-noirified, and is now broken. He drops it into the sand and suddenly it seems to work again! Storm realises that there is no shield – it's an illusion which makes it seem like everything is fixed. You need to get to Flora!

The con

Feel good

Rescued by the X-Men, but we're in more danger than ever, and so is the town!

Your one-way trip out of town comes to an explosive end. Sounds like your train terminates here.

The 605 from Noirville

You explore the factory and Kurt finds an old crystal radio. When you amplify the sounds, you can hear the transmitter, but can't pinpoint its location. You split up to search more efficiently, but Kurt is having trouble with his injured shoulder.

Lesson learned

Blueprints

Several drone crows arrive as you help bandage Kurt's shoulder. When you amplify the sounds and hear Gambit, you realise that the factory is the gangsters' hideout. You overhear Joey taking a call from Mojo who says there's a delivery of new weapons for them...and also gives away your position. Over comms, you inform the others.

Delay tactics

Blood loss

Storm says the gangsters have found the machine guns. You need  to subdue them! Between Gambit and Storm, you keep them at bay...at least until Spiral arrives with a crate of grenades. 

Pitch

Conveyor

Storm destroys the box of grenades, but Spiral conjures new machine guns for them. Storm summons ice but she needs more time – you need to distract them! Your coin harmonises with the ice crystals and speeds up the freezing process. 

Mutant circuit

Strike!

You meet back up with Kurt and Gambit, but you are interrupted by Spiral. She seems angry that even though she has great power, she still can't hang out with the X-Men because she isn't a mutant. She points out that they know nothing about you. She opens the crate to release poison gas, but she teleports you away.

Denial

Lockbreaker

Spiral takes you to a train yard and asks when you're planning to tell the X-Men about all the people you've hurt in various cities. You don't get to have friends because you're bad like her. She hurls you into a train car which begins to move.

Tootles!

Train yard

Run out of town, with no way to help your friends.

Your ongoing search may not be as straightforward as you think. After all, it wouldn't be a noir if there weren't a few twists!

The Wrench in the Works

You follow the sound of the transmitter to the clock tower and climb it. Kurt discovers that his cane contains a sword and you are accosted by drone crows. Kurt manages to lift Storm's spirits by narrating your progress.

The clock tower

Six storeys

The drone crows attack you, even when you try to overwhelm them with your abilities. Storm destroys them with lightning, and Spiral appears to complain – they took her forever to make! She draws her katanas and Kurt teleports you away. 

Wasted work

Halfway

Kurt and Spiral fight and Spiral complains that she made everything in the town but gets no credit. She teleports up to the clockworks and you follow her.

Further up!

Stay back!

Kurt keeps Spiral occupied while you and Storm search for the transmitter. Kurt gets a hit in on Spiral and realises that she isn't shielded. You amplify the sound of Mojo's broadcast from his safe spot in the club, and Spiral and Kurt take the fight further up.

Clockwork

Gorgeous view!

Spiral and Kurt are moving too fast for Storm to risk using the lightning, but you throw coins at the bells and amplify the sound to distract Spiral.

Campanology

The belfry

The transmitter isn't here, and you realise it must be in the factory itself. Spiral leaves and you collect your coins. Storm realises that your special coin is not shielded, nor is Kurt's sword. Storm flies you over to the factory.

Inconsistencies

Enough!

Getting closer to the transmitter, even with some interference from Spiral!

Finding the shield transmitter is more important than ever, but you have some voyeuristic company.

Welcome to Mojo's Tales of Drama, Noirville's premier prime time entertainment!


X-Men: Munroe & Wagner Radio

The gangsters are heading to the diner, but Gambit manages to stall them. Storm talks you through breaking a window using your abilities and you watch in shock as the window reforms. The Mojoshield protects everything except for you.

Everything Changes

Shimmering

You reach the diner and chat with the waitress, who now goes by Flora. She seems to have a new ability when she is able to hit a radio with a knife from twenty feet away! Flora agrees to let you take a look at the roof so find the strange sound.

Let's dust!

Details

You don't find anything on the roof, but Storm thinks it's worth checking the nearby factory. Gambit contacts you and says the gangsters are planning to attack Flora. He'll try to stall them, but you need to prepare. 

Welcome Mat

Dust and the view...

You realise you are being observed by Mojo's camera drones disguised as crows. Storm wants to go to the factory immediately but Kurt argues to stay and protect Flora. Storm is concerned about the damage her powers could cause. The gangsters arrive and you go to face them.

Fantastisch

Drone Crow

The gangsters threaten Flora and opens fire, but Kurt distracts them and gives Storm chance to scare them away with the lightning. As they leave, Flora collapses.

Casualties

Leave this place.

Flora was hit by the bullets, but thanks to the shield she recovers quickly. Kurt is not so lucky and got struck in the shoulder. You help to bandage it, and head off to the factory.

Good as new?

The Lightning

Survived a shoot out at the diner, but Kurt is injured!

Just because it's a show, doesn't mean things aren't deadly serious. 

Three on a raft, and wreck 'em

Storm creates a wall of ice to buy you time to escape. Nightcrawler finds a special coin for you which you drop then amplify the sound – by accident you knock out your pursuers who collapse. 

Not moving...

Ice, to me!

The men seem to be dead, but as you watch, the blood in their ears disappears and they begin to stir. You hide their guns and let them leave, with a warning to stay away from the diner. You find clothing more appropriate to the setting, and go to find Gambit. 

Costume Department

Bleeding

When you head outside, you see someone get hit by a car, but when you head over to help, she gets back up as though nothing happened. Storm believes there's a shield on the civilians. Gambit contacts you from the Crossroads Cabaret, where he has spotted Mojo.

Talent Scouting

Blending in

Storm and Nightcrawler point out Mojo and his sidekick Spiral, and tell you of chaos Mojo has caused. Mojo welcomes you to Noirville and says that he's shielded all the humans, and begs for ten minutes of your time. 

Cabaret

Ain't we got fun?

Mojo explains that the audience trends have moved away from violence, hence the shielding. He needs better ratings and the X-Men are popular. If you can find the shield transmitter in town, you can keep it and use it to protect people from rogue mutants. Of course you aren't shielded. Where would the fun in that be?

I solemnly swear...

Sequins

Spiral comes to introduce herself but gets called away by Mojo. You fill Gambit in on what you've learned. Gambit is keeping an eye on the man from the diner, who says he's planning to rough up the waitress. You use your powers to try to track down the sound of the transmitter, and the sound leads you back to the diner.
