Laura Smith is one of many sanitation engineers in Paragon city. Everyday she puts on the orange jumpsuit and heads out to clean up the parts of the city even the heroes would never touch. She like most of the workers Paragon Sanitation spends most of her day collecting trash and keeping the city clean. But when it comes to the city of supers trash clean up can take on a whole new life. She is part of a vary small but well paid department within Paragon Sanitation. A handful of brave or some say suicidal sanitation engineers tasked with keeping the sewer system clean and working. The Department of Sewer and Water has to deal with all sorts of issues normal city sewer crews would not even dream of. Paragon has the highest population of mad scientists and would be evil alchemists of any city in the world. And to be honest a lot of there stuff goes down the drain. Toxic monsters, mutants, bums with superpowers, and even a few of the more criminally insane call the sewers home. But no place within these tunnels and waterways are as bad as the old sewer network unused and abandon. This is unfortunately Laura's assigned zone. A few years ago the higher ups decided something had to be done to the old network it had become a danger to the city. Parts have been known to collapse at times creating sink holes, and worse all sorts of super powered villains had taken up using parts of it as a base and a means to travel around he city undetected. At first the call for supers to deal with it went well but over time it ended up being more of a thing only the lowest clearance rated heroes did. Soon after being granted higher clearance they would go on to other things but the evil plagued sewers would still be there. So in 2008 Paragon Sanitation took some of there best workers and sent them to Hero corp for testing and training. Hoping to get a team of super powered sanitation engineers instead they got just a few. But it was a start and now every day Laura gets up puts on her orange jumpsuit and heads into one of the most dangerous and dirty jobs in the city... Sanitation Engineer Sewer Division.
