Notes
Action 11: Research Time
Roll 45 + 4 (manpower) + 25 (skill) = 74
Failure
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).
Dr. Penguin. Wake up. You are not supposed to fall asleep. Wake. Up. Now. Dr. Penguin. DR. PENGUIN. DR. PENGUIN! DEDEDE WAKE UP! MY FRIENDS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO DIE ON ME! WAKE! UP!
YOU TOO WALDO. WAKE UP! BOTH OF YOU. THIS ISN'T FUNNY!

Action 12: Design Comprehensive Risk Assessment Model 7 + 4 (manpower) + 40 (skill) = 51
Failure
Ironically, the Comprehensive Risk Assessment Model couldn't assess the risk of stripping open walls to insert new - and apparently unprotected wiring -, of CRAMming donuts into the various orifices of the core hardware nor, indeed, of having a litter of kittens in a conveniently sized but noisy cubby. Thankfully for the base, fire alarms and water sprinklers were installed first. Regrettably, this saved neither CRAM nor the cat minion inside it from a painful, fiery death.
One (1) member of the
multitude that is the Unusual Stray Cat Colony fallen. All research progress lost, some hardware progress retained (reduced difficulty for implementation).
*hissing noises* Sutures no... why......

This is the information you have gained from the Illuminati this week.
-Supernatural Demographics near Buenos Aires

--
Dream Creatures
---The presence of Mad Dreams has been noticed, but the Illuminati really has bigger problems
Means we can mess around with them.... without notice.... maybe?
--
Cultists
---Over the past year, there have been 107 cults to the Old Powers in the Buenos Aires area. Usual lifespan after discovery is <1 week.
--
Aliens
---There are four attempted alien infiltrators in Illuminati custody within the Buenos Aires area
Don't want to mess with their prey.... bad manners.
---There are 18 suspected aliens currently at large in Greater Buenos Aires
These are free game though... ready to be.... stalked... hunted... devoured.
---Intelligence indicates that there are two major interstellar powers with interests on Earth, currently at war with each other.
Ally with one side?
Illuminati perspective on Mad Scientists
-The Illuminati has had several encounters with Mad Science over the past month, but still isn't sure how it works
--They know of MAD and SASRI's existence, but they have very limited information about both groups.
--They know MAD has a base in Pilar, but they don't know the exact location
--They suspect that Fairweather Agricultural has ties to MAD
Recent happenings
-An alien infiltrator just got mauled by a werewolf within a quarter mile of your base; you could probably collect the corpse if you hurry.
Someone come with me.... rather not fall asleep.
-The order to perform CONTINGENCY: FALSE UNVEIL has just been issued by the Illuminati High Council
Don't like this.... should look into.
-The Buenos Aires Police Department has recently hired a solitary werewolf with a reputation for not giving a shit about the masquerade
Stupid stinky dogs...
-A Vampire tried to enthrall the President of Argentina, and had to significantly deplete their blood reserves to escape without being gunned down by their security, which happened to include a previously covert unaffiliated Wizard.
Interesting.... not relevant though.
