Strange Paintings

On January 23, 2009, the following message was posted at the official NBC Heroes group at Habbo:

Who is behind them?

Some strange paintings have been brought to our attention. Do these scenes look familiar? They appear to be paintings of a couple previous Habbo campaigns.

They were found in an old email box that we haven't used in a long time and it appears that they were created prior to the actual campaigns started. How did they know?

Meet Syn Anders

Then, a new message was posted on January 26:

A Hero in Habbo

Remember those paintings we showed you on Friday? Well, the artist didn't come forward but someone else did. Her name is Syn Anders and she has the ability to manipulate someone's mood after physically touching them. Sure gives a new meaning to the power of persuasion.

Syn contacted us because when she saw the paintings, something new happened to her. She started to feel the same emotions of the people in the paintings. Now she is looking for the Habbo that submitted the paintings. She's hoping they have some answers for her.

Do you have any idea who it might be? Go here.

Mysterious Message

On January 28, a special message appeared in NBC Heroes group members' profiles:

Subject found in Habbo. For more information, go HERE. Write this down: Case File C021. Password XY948sA. Further instructions coming soon.

A new message was posted on the NBC Heroes group on January 28:

What does it mean?

Syn received a strange message today. Did you? Could it be the same person who submitted the paintings? In case you didn't get the same message, the image is posted below.

The message talks about finding a “subject” and something about a case file and a password. Do you know what they are talking about? If you have any ideas, please tell us here. Don't forget to join the group!

A Heroic Quest

A new message was posted on the NBC Heroes group on January 29:

Primatech Paper Assignment Tracker 2.0

Attention all Heroes

It appears that Syn is being watched and hunted, but why? Some of you already figured out that the mysterious message a bunch of us received yesterday was about a case file found on the Primatech Paper Assignment Tracker. Nice work! I told Syn the Habbos were smart.

For those of you who didn't find it, go to the Heroes group page. The information you need to start your quest is in the forums, but you must join the group in order to view the forums. This is for our own protection.

There seems to be a series of obstacles ahead. Do you have what it takes to get to the end? If you do, you will be rewarded with the official Heroes badge.

To give a fair chance to all the heroes out there, this quest will be open through mid-next week.

Quest Walkthrough

• Make sure you have a Habbo account. Make one here.
• Start at the A Heroic Quest thread, which links you to Syn's assignment tracker. Case File: C021 Password: XY948sA
• At the bottom of the assignment tracker, note the name Gary at the Dusty Lounge.
• Go to the Dusty Lounge, find Gary behind the bar, and say "Primatech". He'll tell you to search for a Habbo named Lighter.
