And to add to it: I made a combat character to be out there and do things, but now I'm injured and cannot fight. And the only solution people propose for healing is shoving machines into myself. Screw that.

As an advice, maybe you want to do less Operations stuff and more shit done on the ground. Do you have enough combat power to fight threats to begin with? And to think that in Havoc, the problem was the reverse...
 
You know, I honestly feel like Mega has a point. This quest is becoming too easy and chaotic, and I feel like @I just write should step in and up the difficulty level.

I've been assuming that our enemies are far more powerful than we assume, and it only seems easy cause we are early on and haven't really drawn anyones ire yet. I get the feeling that eventually, we will be going to war, our bases will be under siege, and then combat capable minions will be FAR more important.

Can't say anything about Chaotic though. Yeah, it's chaotic.

we are just in the beginning yet... the arms race, we have not started the war yet... we are trying to get our economy and bases going so we can build an army and attack later...

We already have 2 properly dead people, just by pursuing specific research. Granted, it was telegraphed, but it will only escalate.
If the Yes vote passes, we'll have a Mad Extradimensional Mechanical Dragon on our plate.
There's a major Masquerade shattering in a week or two.
So far we've got a single mage raid (which we assisted with!), in which every participant got injured.

I think it has plenty potential to get more difficult. I'll give it a week or two to truly unfold.

Anyone want to still do some research in economics? Anyway the action that I'm absolutely going to be doing this turn would be upgrade my computerized reality model.

[-]Comprehensive Risk Assessment Model
-[-]Basing off CRM, CRAM thoroughly analyzes any and all previous failed experiments and operations, identifying prevalent accidents and their causes. Utilizing this knowledge, it tries to identify any similar situations within current actions. Upon finding such a situation, it will proceed to warn the scientist in question, and offer possible counter-measures.
-[-]When recognizing an imminent catastrophe, will immediately call for help through S.K.Y.net and other available channels, as well take control of the local facilities, in order to minimize damage.
-[-]It will give special attention to any accidents involving cats.
It's based on CRM anyway.
Go on...

Now that we have the bases, we need to improve them. That involves both expanding them to fit all our minions and designing new rooms to take advantage of our various technologies. We need a power generating room, a server room, upgraded labs (Sensor Lab?), missile launch bay and many more.
I shall work on a server room.

I don't think we need a dedicated power generation room with the invention of Marble Reactors, most of our inventions won't need so much energy that we can't just build the generator into the room.

I am willing to help you, stil need to decide my votes any how. Probally do them tomorrow because it is quite late where I am.
Maybe want to help me with something next turn? I am no longer following my old gimmick but still want to make cool things.

Sad to see you go, Mega. See you around.

Also, I think I'll be putting out another "Henrietta's Diary" soon.

Sure! Be aware I'm going to put my spin on your stuff and I expect you to do the same for mine!

I was actually researching Quantum Mechanics so I could design a Quantum Computer for the Server Room. I think we should wait until that's done before building the server room.

@I just write - Shouldn't there be 4 Buzzkill now? 1 we already had from the design process, and then the three new ones built this past action?

I just write said:
Resembling a mechanical dragon, this creature is far more powerful than the other Dream Creatures around. Even more worryingly, it seems to be building something resembling a portal generator, rendering down its fellow Dream Creatures for raw materials. Given the maniacal cackling and general behavior, it's pretty clear you have a Mad Dream Creature on your hands.

Even more worryingly, the thing apparently seems to know you're watching, as parts of its 'lab' begin flashing in morse code, saying

HELLO SHAPERS I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE A DEAL I WANT ACCESS TO THE MATERIAL PLANE YOUR DATA ON IT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL TO MY EFFORTS IN RETURN I WILL SHARE MY INFORMATION ON THE BIOLOGY AND PHYSICS OF THIS PLANE

I can't help but get the feeling he's going to stab us in the back the moment he gets through and do terrible, terrible things to us.

Given the lack of knowledge we have on the Dream Plane? I'm inclined to decline his offer, since I'm not sure we have an ability to stop him if he gets what he wants.

I just write said:
The very next morning after the decision was made to continue research into how to make time do things, the participants (DeDeDe and Waldo) were found dead. It was very obviously a deliberate killing, as there are fragments of expanding bullets inside the brains of both participants. Further, whoever did this was extremely thorough, causing sufficient brain damage that the two of them won't be restorable to any state remotely resembling what they were pre-incident without either extensive reconstruction (at which point you're basically just making a wetware AI in their image), or an external backup (which neither of them had).

Any possibility that there wasn't someone acting as time agents to stop us should be gone now. As @Trondason said, if we're going to approach time from here on out, we need to do it as a concentrated effort or else we're just throwing characters away.

BTW, if there's anyone who has an idea for an action that they can't get anyone else on board with, I'm open to making a trade of helping them out with their plan if they can help me out with an action I have in mind that's a bit of a personal project.

It's apparently been edited out, but originally my Dynacap Attempt destroyed several Orichum suits and 1 Buzzkill.

He was made from our collective dreams, and as such I'd think he'd be onboard with MAD's goals, having been made from MAD's collective unconciousness.

I'm not sure it'll be that bad, but I still have doubts about what he has planned or what he'll do if he gets over here.

Given my thoughts are stabbing him in the back (and go take another look at the Profile I wrote for Dr. Eggman - seriously. I wouldn't doubt there's others in there that would provide warning signs too), if he really is based on our dreams? We need to at least expect he's planning on betraying us sooner or later.

I can confirm that the average low-level combat DC is somewhere around a thousand. High-level ones can very easily breach six digits.

Well, that sounds like we are gonna want endless hoards of robotic minions to toss at the problem. Good thing I'm working on making said endless hoard.

Though might help to make Mad Scientists more relevant in general. So far, with the exception of SCIENCE, minions can do anything we can do, probably better. With a hundred Buzz Kills, even the best equiped Mad Scientist ain't really going ot effect the outcome of hte battle much

I'd guess. I'm not a GM here though, just a player.

Seeing as I'm the one that dreams the most and I'm would not dream of betraying the comfy company over here and is rather trying to inter connect everything so much that betraying us would be extremely costly for the traitor... I hope he takes after my good side and loyalty to MAD.... And by the way I will be relentless against any actively betraying MAD... And really sad at anyone leavings... Damn it Joe get me one more hot chocolate I still need the pick me up.
