How in the world did these things evade the notice of the mundane scientific community for so long, let alone the mad scientist community?
*Ralph sobbing in a corner*

3: The Dream Creatures in and around M.A.D. HQ (and presumably any other large group of mad scientists) mutate to fit common Sparky thought patterns, with lots of maniacal laughter, bizarre experimentation, and other such things.
I want to determine if these guys would stop us from achieving world conquest. If not I want to look into outsourcing.

-[]:Obviously something's getting in the way of the normies figuring the extistence of the supernatural out, since it's obvious to anyone who spends two weeks looking into it. What? Why? Who? The truth is out there, and we're going to find it.
I don't think Spyteam is good enough for that yet.
 
Which action was this? With such a stupid-huge number of actions, chances are we forgot something due to overwork.

Also surprised I haven't seen any commentary on the 'search for suspicious activity' results. There's some juicy stuff in there.

[X] Design a Blueprint
-[X] Upgraded Pandora Orb
--[X] Pandora orb now produces Black Blood. By combining the Angelfield 1.6.4 of , Diamond Silk and many other knowledge MAD have. These nanoscale biomachines grants it's user increased strength, durability and regeneration. Named as such due to these biomachines' side affect alter the host blood into black substance that immediately destroy itself when cut off from the host.

This one.

But it's fine really, also the scouting action....whil SEP is an old trope I wonder how our team did found them.

I'll fix it.
 
d.

If we went all in SPYTEAM is over +120, and we have a few Espionage specced starting inventions not statted yet. Besides, I'm mostly worried about avoiding horrible failures not getting EPIC SUCCESS, though maybe the wording would need to be dialed back.

But I think we might be better splitting again.

@I just write drew my attention to our EPIC SUCCESS on the last turn, and this week there's probably an alien body in a morgue somewhere.

I think that needs to be....liberated. FOR SCIENCE
 
So let's see:
- Our network busted
- We still not that financially stable
- We got Ironman suit afterall, Movie's mk2 though.
- We don't have enough housing I think, if we want to recruit groups of thug/soldier
- Weird SEP all around us.
- Too damn much supernatural around us. F*cking Alien in daylight, Twilight-tier drama abound with so much pack and coven.
- Our "Friend" mad scientist really like to riled local spell flinging 30 years old virgins.
- Dream creatures could be an indication for other groups, need more research. Also we could locate our raid target this way too.

Fix'd your action.
 
In other news, I am looking to recruit a second co-writer. If you're interested and have the time, please PM me.

EDIT: And prepare to take a vow of secrecy.

EDIT: As far as my personal plans go, I'm going to be trying to figure out more about this world's "Masquerade". We're getting hints from all over the place that supernatural things are being covered up, and I don't want to get face stomped by the Men in Black because we broke some unspoken rules that no one told us.

@theflyingbiscuit ,@Moronis ,@Hazard , @Friendlygiant,@FrenziedGlint ; Are any of y'all down for something like:

Espionage Action
[]:Write In
-[]:Obviously something's getting in the way of the normies figuring the extistence of the supernatural out, since it's obvious to anyone who spends two weeks looking into it. What? Why? Who? The truth is out there, and we're going to find it.

I'd be down for that though I'll wait till the rest of the quote unquote 'spy-team' is up and ready for it. In the meantime, given we'll likely as not be seeing combat and we've got several people injured I'm gonna look into researching into medical technologies.

Nothing says good ol' fashioned medical mad science like trying to piece together medical nanobots or some weird healing serum in a syringe! I'll wait till I hear from everyone else about the viability of that plan though.
 
[X] Design a blueprint
-[X] Upscale the Buster Pistol into a Buster Cannon design, and add Charged Shot capability.

[X] BUILD Minions
-[X] Build NetNavi With Three Levels of Research.
 
I can probably spend an action manufacturing Orichalcum V1s for the upcoming raid, anyone else?
 
I'd be up for researching the masquerade or whatever.

And with that, I am locking my vote.

EXECUTIVE DECISION: Will M.A.D. assist SASRI in recovering their captured member?
[X] Yes

FREE ACTION
[X] Boss Minions Around
-[X] Task a pair of interns with churning out as many Exotic Particle Cannons as feasibly possible

RESEARCH ACTION
[X] Design a blueprint
-[X] Upgrade (Exotic Particle Cannon)
-[X] Focus on reducing and/or eliminating the chance of spontaneous explosion. Making it less bulky would be nice, too.

ESPIONAGE ACTION
[X] Write In
-[X] Obviously something's getting in the way of the normies figuring the extistence of the supernatural out, since it's obvious to anyone who spends two weeks looking into it. What? Why? Who? The truth is out there, and we're going to find it.

My planned vote, also would the special action got hit by Lone Wolves if the subvote different @I just write ? (E.g.If I commit myself in the raid)

EXECUTIVE DECISION: Will M.A.D. assist SASRI in recovering their captured member?

[] Yes
[] Integrate
-[] 1 Orichalcum V1
-[] 1 Pause Button
[] Design a blueprint
-[] Upgrade (Exotic Particle Cannon)
-[] Focus on reducing and/or eliminating the chance of spontaneous explosion. Making it less bulky would be nice, too.
[] (special) Commit forces to SASRI raid
-[] All combat oriented minions equipped with power armours.
-[] Self

Though I wonder how to formulate the vote for commit forces/

I have 1 Stealthy Combat drone that can't equip Power armour unless I needed to build the drone first :V
 
Action 23: Network Spying
Roll 67 + 6 (manpower) + 45 (skill) = 118
Success (?)

Is the mechanogoblin permanently linked/do we have permanent access to the news network?

I ask since mechanogoblins aren't long term infiltration assets.

Nope, not happening.

Well, not yet happening. It's clear we are lacking information on the supernatural scene, so much so in fact that we don't even know where to start looking.

We need to do three things.

First, we need to figure out what the normals know in general about the supernatural.

Second, we need to figure out the local supernatural scene, its power players, its small fry, and the relationships between all of them. Also, we need to subvert at least a couple to become helpful to us.

Third, we need to figure out what government forces, normal and supernatural (if the supernatural has governments), are actively interacting with the other side. This is really important, as it can indicate the extent of the interference.

Then we can start looking for the cause.

I too am wondering that.

Also, didn't you say you were going to help me with designing the Type 2 Exotic Particle Cannon?
 
I just want to say, before reading through the whole thing, that it would have been nice to have received a turn of warning on the Lone Wolf actions so we actually had an opportunity to get our acts together rather than hitting us with them after we lost a chance to change our votes to account for the malus.

If I'd known that going Lone Wolf this turn on Motobugs would have taken the -50 hit when I voted for it, I might have actually put in effort to avoid lone wolfing that decision.

I get you hate lone wolfs, but that doesn't make the fact that you hit us with the penalties before we had a chance to fix the problem any less frustrating or annoying.

Sorry. Any further changes like that will have a turn of warning.

It came back after dropping a data tap.

I'll fill this next part in with anything you already have IC knowledge of, but might not have assimilated.
First, we need to figure out what the normals know in general about the supernatural.
Until six months ago, little beyond what you'd expect of pop culture. Lately, there's all sorts of crazy semi-accurate rumors floating around, but little concrete knowledge if any.

Second, we need to figure out the local supernatural scene, its power players, its small fry, and the relationships between all of them. Also, we need to subvert at least a couple to become helpful to us.
Well, the relationships are quite straightforward: Everyone hates everyone else.

Third, we need to figure out what government forces, normal and supernatural (if the supernatural has governments), are actively interacting with the other side. This is really important, as it can indicate the extent of the interference.
???

Then we can start looking for the cause.
 
I'll help if you help me with Pandoras afterward.

Agreed.

*gets in character and extends paw*

We have a deal, Fraulein.

As for our chances of success, I am hoping that we will recruit others to our cause. And even then, I would be happy with even the slightest improvement over my original designs. Well, my father's designs, at any rate. He nay have been a GENIUS, but Professor Black cared little for safety.
