A Chunk of Misshapen Scrap
This piece of the Green Sektor Protector is a small momento of the case that dealt with a single question, emblazoned on the Paragon Times:
Target: Shinsektor?
It all began when "The Insectoid Knight", Shinsektor, suddenly vanished from Paragon City. At first, even his closest friends and confidants had no idea where he had gone. His recent behavior had led some to believe he was going to go on a rampage similar to the ones caused by Malavus and Guardius, two mental protocols implanted into his psyche.
Soon after his disappearance, news broke that two heroes (Samurai Pete and the Ocular Octo-Gaze) had died under mysterious circumstances inside the Devcon Recreation Facility, commonly referred to as The Arena. As prying eyes began to multiply, the Devcon staff worked on figuring out exactly what was responsible.
Soon, two Sonic-empowered heroes (Cher-Lock and Holmey) decided to personally investigate the facilities. It was only a few days later that they vanished, presumably also victims of the mysterious Arena murderer. Shinsektor's continued abscence, coupled with small bits of information found in the Arena's surveillance recordings, led some of the public to believe that he was responsible.
Just as mysteriously as they had begun, things suddenly quieted down in the Devcon murder case. Shinsektor's partner, Krickette, reported to the hero community that he had returned from an extended captivity in Washington state, thus giving him an alibi to lend credit to his own claims of innocence. The Arena killer seemed to have vanished.
However, for personal reasons, Shinsektor had decided to remain out of Paragon for several weeks. During this time, the Arena killer revealed itself in broad daylight. It appeared to be similar to Shinsektor in appearance, but quickly showed its villainous intentions by destroying the Insectoid Knight's underground abode.
Soon, Shinsektor returned, seeking a group of heroes to help him deal with the Arena killer for good. Heading into an Arena event to weed the insectoid lookalike out from hiding, you and the other heroes soon found yourselves trapped inside a holographic battleground, seperated from the Insectoid Knight. The Arena killer engaged you in battle, and though outnumbered, it appeared to be physically indestructable. But, with a broken transmission from Shinsektor that he had severed the killer's connection to the Arena holosystems, you and your allies defeated the insectoid murderer.
The damage to its body revealed the killer's true nature: it was a mechanical automaton! Engaging a self-destruct protocol, it detonated a small section of the Arena as you and the other heroes escaped. In the Arena lobby, its near-skeletal remains approached, only to be finally obliterated by Shinsektor himself.
The Insectoid Knight considers himself to be in your debt, and will always be ready to come to your aid as repayment for helping him deal with the final loose end of his own Resolution.
