We are Yuujiro Hanma now 
Sooo, we have passed everything (tough barely on The Boss and the Security thing, and our video was mediocre at best, but much better than the one from the general), and not only that but a nat 100 on physical conditioning which is going to be amazing and a 88 on the armor, so basically like the suit from Gantz. And we did well enough on the overseer part, maybe that will set the boss in a more serius...or atleast less costly path

There is only one, natural conclusion. ..
Either Lackey D REALLY got hype on a training montage by Lucia libre, or Yandere Ghost decided to "hug" again, which accidentally lead to an escalation and possible "exercise" fetishes from our invisible stalker.
EDIT: Or the boss came in, saw our pathetic 'Martial' stat, and made sure to make a Lackey/Lucha goon out of us.

Martial: Free from the tyranny of Miss Black General's leadership of the general Lackey forces, you are free to do what you want! Okay, not really. Miss Secretary has provided you several missions that if successful with prove beneficial to RX Group. It'll be tough doing it solo while Miss Black General's out trying to feed Braveman some hypnosis drug but you shall persevere! (Choose 1)
[X] Better Recruitment Video: The video that Miss Black General shot to try and entice people to join RX Group is terrible. Not only does it focus far too much on Miss Black General, she isn't even clear on what RX's objectives are. Nothing on what the benefits of joining RX Group would be - it's like she expected people to come and join based on her presence. You need to make a better video ASAP. At least the video's views are in the single digits. Cost: 10. Chance of Success: 100%. Reward: New Recruits of varying quality.
Roll: 32
The video hadn't taken long to make. With a bit of creative editing of the footage of your fight with Braveman, the video was much, much better than Miss Black General's video. The hundreds of views proved it. Everyone, including Miss General, liked it though you think Miss General only approved of it because it painted her in a good light as well as how you framed it so it looked like she was dominating Braveman.
Since it was a recruitment video, potential recruits were able to contact the group through email. Miss Secretary and the Boss were in charge of screening any applications to the group and deciding who would be useful to the group so you didn't have to worry about that. It was several days before the recruitment video paid off.
The Boss had gathered everyone outside where someone had set up a makeshift stage, with curtains acting as a backdrop. Up on the stage, the boss informed everyone that new members would be joining RX Group.
"Everyone, thank you all for coming to this meeting. As you should all know, we've been receiving a number of applications to our secret organisation and after much deliberation and background checks, we will be welcoming three new members to our organisation. Please welcome to our private little club…Lackey E."
"Yo, sup." A guy stepped out from behind the curtains, wearing the typical Lackey uniform. The only real difference that you could see between him and the others was that he was wearing headphones around his neck. He gave of this laid-back atmosphere. "How's everything, people?" He received some polite applauses from the audience, particularly from the other Lackeys who were happy to have another member on their team.
"Next, let us welcome…Lackey F!" The Boss continued. You were starting to wonder why he referred to the Lackeys by Alphabet rather than a proper codename but you suppose that he's just too lazy to do so and it's easier for Miss Secretary to keep track of everyone's account with letters.
"Salutations, my fellow members!" Yet another guy in Lackey uniform appeared, this one wearing a monocle over his right eye. He also had a nice moustache that poked through the mask. He greeted everyone with a cheery wave before bowing when he was at the front of the stage. "It is just grand to meet you, everyone." A more awkward applause rang out across the junkyard as the other members of RX Group didn't quite know how to take this new guy.
"And finally, let me introduce to you all...Lackey G!" The final recruit to join the group was another lackey. This one was wearing a bandana.
"....." The Lackey didn't say or do anything except lower his head slightly in greeting. The applauses this time was very lackluster.
"Everyone, do your best to make these guys feel at home! They'll be joining the sorties tomorrow so take a chance today to get to know them better."
With that, RX Group gained several new members.
Reward: Lackey E, Lackey F, and Lackey G have joined RX Group. Miss General is ecstatic.
Stewardship: Assisting Miss Secretary behind the scenes really illuminates you to how much she's actually able to squeeze out of RX Group's budget. With the small windfall of money you got from selling that gold statue, a number of projects that Miss Secretary had put on hold are now available to be undertaken. Time to expand. (Choose 1)
[X] Boss Overwatch: The Boss got a better paying job but that just means more money for him to waste. You might have cash now but it'll be gone one way or another. Miss Secretary has ordered you to put everything you have at stake here and find a way to keep him from needlessly wasting money on his hobbies! Cost: 50. Chance of Success: 80%. Reward: 50 Income.
Roll: 63
The Boss entered his office, looking around to check if the coast was clear. Seeing that nobody was around, he let out a sigh of relief. Lately, Miss Secretary was getting on his ass for buying stuff using the group's funds without permission. Miss Secretary might be his most loyal member and best friend but she simply didn't understand what it was to be a figurine collector.
To the Boss, it was a fun and engaging hobby. Plus, when they were lined up in the glass cases in the office, they made for an impressive decorative piece. Not only that, figurines can't be pirated. Every figurine the Boss had was hand-crafted by a professional figurine maker. Plus because they were handmade, there were few of them and therefore were valuable. The rarity of his limited edition Magmadon figurine was worth the amount of cash he'd shelled out to buy it on V-Bay.
Indeed, just the sight of these figurines of famous villains filled the Boss with pride. One day, he'll get a figurine of his own. Right then, while nobody was looking, there was a rare figurine that he'd been planning to get. With Miss Secretary still angry about that time when he accidentally ate her pudding she'd been saving for later, the Boss had to be very careful.
Powering on his computer, the Boss eagerly went to log onto his V-bay account.
"Eh? Wrong password?" For some reason, his password wasn't working. After a couple of attempts, the Boss started getting worried. "Crap crap crap crap crap, please don't be a hacker, please don't be a hacker."
Clicking on the link to reset his password, the Boss froze when he saw that his secret question had been changed.
What is it that the leader RX Group should not be doing with RX Group funds?
The Boss stared at the words on the screen, in both awe and horror. "......Secretary seriously hacked into my account to keep me from buying figurines?" Suddenly, his feelings burst forth from the unfairness of it all. "What the hell!? I'm the Boss aren't I so shouldn't it be fine if I spend a few dollars to reward myself for all my hard work!? Hmph, impressive, Miss Secretary but you're mistaken if you think this will stop me! I can still confirm my identity with my phone!"
After going through the procedure to have them send a confirmation code to his phone, the Boss waited patiently. Soon his phone alerted him to a new message.
It was from Miss Secretary
"My assistant changed all your account details. Please see me if you want permission to buy stuff that isn't related to RX Group's needs."
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!"
The scream of despair that the Boss let out, was recorded and used in as a screaming sound effect in a video game.
Reward: Boss's spending habits have been curtailed. Income increased by 60.
Diplomacy: Last week was a disaster but there's a silver lining to the whole thing. The Boss and Miss Secretary's exploits have already gotten out in the villain world so now everyone's taking your group a little more seriously. Let's hope the Boss doesn't do anything stupid and piss someone off by accident! (Choose 1)
[X] Sheltering the Syndicate Scraps: Not every member of the Syndicate om Ryuei City got captured. Right now, there's a bunch of scattered goon desperate for a safe place to hide out until things blow over. As a fellow villainous organisation, it's only right that you offer these poor souls the safety of your group. And who knows? They might even like it here in RX Group. Cost: 40. Chance of Success. 80%. Reward: Open up Relations with the Syndicate. Gain a Syndicate favour. Chance of Syndicate members joining RX Group.
Roll: 61
"Eh? I thought we only had three new members. When did we get more?" Miss Black General asked as she looked at the gathered Lackeys. Indeed, there was twice the number of lackeys than there should be, excluding yourself. "Could it be...That my time has come? Ohohohoho! Prepare yourself Braveman! Soon you should face the ever charismatic me and no doubt fall for my charms that are able to attract minions with ease!"
The Former Syndicate Goons and the three new recruits stared at their boss with heavy concern while the three original trios simply sighed in exasperation. One of the goons tapped Lackey A on the shoulder. "Hey...A, right? Is this normal?"
"Yeah, don't worry about it. This always happen." Lackey A replied in a tired tone. It seems no-one had told Miss General that a number of low ranking Syndicate Members had been transferred over to RX Group as a reward for helping some higher ranked members escape from the Hero League Syndicate hunt. Sort of.
The Syndicate had been gracious enough to make a deal with RX Group. In exchange for allowing Syndicate goons to work as RX Lackeys, the Syndicate would pay RX Group a significant cash sum in order to pay the wages of the Syndicate Goons. Along with a favour that RX Group could request in the future, it seems that working with the Syndicate would be good for RX Group.
"Alright, men! Let us go and meet Braveman! With you at my side, he will surely see my stunning charisma and fall me!"
"Ahahaha...Please tell me she's kidding. Please senpai."
"Sorry but she's serious. Relax. We just have to make sure she doesn't do anything...stupendously stupid and extract her when she messes up."
"...What counts as stupendously stupid?"
"....Good questions."
Reward: Six Syndicate Goons have joined RX Group. RX Group has a deal with the Syndicate. +100 Trade Income. Increased Relations with the Syndicate. 1 Syndicate Favour gained.
Intrigue: One of the biggest advantages of RX Group was their relatively unknown presence. Now that things have been stirred up a bit, it might be a good time to invest in better security, better information gathering and over all a way to ensure that no-one gets captured in the event of an attack. (Choose 1)
[X] Better Security Measures: You remember how easy it was to just walk through the front door, steal a uniform and hang around the base until Miss Secretary found you and formally recruited you into the group. You can't let something like that repeat itself. Setup security doors, keycards, burglar alarms, secret password phrases, that kind of stuff. Cost: 50. Chance of Success: 60%. Reward: Base Security upgraded. Less likelihood of being caught unaware. Less chance of someone sneaking in without being caught.
Roll: 40
With the sudden increase of RX Lackeys, there had to be a few changes made. Unfortunately, with the exception of Miss Secretary, nobody had any real experience with security systems and the likes. It took much more effort and money, as well as help from Miss Secretary, to set up a decent security system for RX Group.
The front door had been replaced with properly hidden security doors that needed both a keycard and a ten digit password in order to be opened. There were a couple of security cameras that were connected to a small workstation that was manned by the Lackeys who took turns in shifts.
The secret password phrases didn't work out since everyone kept getting it wrong, including the Boss, which resulted in some entertaining mishaps where everyone dogpiled the Boss thinking he was an enemy spy.
Honestly, the security system was alright but against a proper professional infiltrator, it might as well have been a cardboard sign with the words "Beware of Dog". RX Group needs to get a proper spymaster at some point in the future.
Reward: Basic Security Measures have been integrated into the main Base. Chances of someone breaking in without being caught lowered. Chances of a surprise attack on Base lowered.
Learning: Miss Scientist has been perfecting the Monster Creation process along with some other side projects. Miss General's already out trying to test a hypnosis potion on Braveman. With your help, Miss Scientist might be able to finish one of her bigger projects this week. It is time for some mad science! (Choose 1)
[X] Power Armour Up: Miss Scientist has been working on a battlesuit that she claims will allow even a lackey to fight the likes of Braveman on even, perhaps greater grounds. Hell, even if it isn't as strong as Braveman, making a lackey more dangerous is always a plus in your evil books! With you helping, Miss Scientist will be able to get this battlesuit done in no time at all! Cost: 40. Chance of Success: 60% Reward: RX Battlesuit ready for combat! Significantly Increase Lackey Trio's Martial.
Roll: 88
Just like she had done with the unveiling of every major project that she had completed, Miss Scientist had everyone gathered in her laboratory was the presentation of the new RX Battlesuit.
"Introducing the RX Battle Suit Mark 2!" Miss Scientist practically shouted out as she pulled off the white sheet covering her newest creation.
The RX Battlesuit was completed in no time flat. While you did have a hand in its creation, Miss Scientist did most of the important stuff. Powered by a specially made power source, the battlesuit was capable of greatly increasing the combat capabilities of its wearer, enough to make it a threat even to Braveman if Miss Scientist's calculations were correct.
Strength enhancement that would be able to give Braveman pause. Armour capable of tanking more than a dozen direct punches from Braveman himself. Hidden jets that would boost arm and leg movements increasing the power behind a strike. High powered thrusters that would allow limited flight and rapid movement. An inbuilt beam cannon was hidden behind the chest plate and it was capable of blowing up a car with ease.
"Ooooh! Impressive! You've outdone yourself Miss Scientist! This will surely show Braveman just who's in charge around here!" The Boss seemed suitably impressed by the battlesuit as did the other lackeys.
Huh, you hadn't noticed but half the minions are missing and so was Miss Black General. "Where are the others?"
"Oh? That's strange, I thought I asked the boss to have everyone come and see the new battlesuit." Miss Scientist wondered aloud.
"Ah. I knew I was forgetting to tell someone." The Boss admitted sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. "Teehee, sorry!"
Miss Secretary gave the Boss a bland look before clapping her hands around the Boss' head and detonated the air around it - just strong enough to hurt but not do any proper damage. Boom.
"AAARGH! MY EARS!" As the Boss rolled around on the ground in pain, Miss Secretary turned her attention to you and the other minions. The Lackeys here were a mix of the original trio, the new guys and the syndicate transferees so that meant Lackey A, C, E and Syndicate Minion 1,5, and 6 were probably with Miss General.
"Miss General is probably in the meeting room waiting. Come on."
A few minutes later, you, Miss Secretary and the Boss along with the Lackeys and Miss Scientist arrive to find the meeting room empty save for an empty box and an open manual.
"Hmm? No-one's here." The Boss said, stating the obvious.
"Ah! Where did the Mark One go?" Miss Scientist asked as she checked the box.
"Mark one?"
"Yeah, the prototype! I put it in so that I could have enough space for presenting the Mark two."
Suddenly, X-kun appeared from under the table where he had been napping this entire time. "Oh, Miss General and the others took it with her. Something about showing Braveman the awesome power of RX Group." The cat explained before jumping into the box and curling up to continue his nap.
"Oh dear, that's not good. The helmet which contains the most important control circuits for the other parts is still in my lab. Well it's okay as long as the parts aren't detached for some reason." Miss Scientist explained, none too concerned with the current situation. Then a sneaky grin appeared on her face. "I just got a brilliant idea! Without the helmet, the mark one has no chance of defeating Braveman so how about we send the Mark Two so assist Miss Black General?"
"Hmm, yes. That does sound like a good plan. Who shall we send wearing it though?" Miss Secretary pondered. At that questions, the Boss and the other lackeys immediately gathered around both Miss Secretary and Miss Scientist, requesting to be the one to be the first test pilot.
"Ooh, ooh! Me! Pick me!"
"I humbly volunteer for this duty!"
"I wanna be Iron-man!"
"As the Boss, it should only be fitting that I try on the new battlesuit first!"
Miss Secretary sighed and pulled out some straws from somewhere. "Alright, you all know the drill. Shortest straw gets to try on the armour and retrieve Miss Black General."
Lackey F ended up as the lucky pilot for the first ever test and combat run of the mark two RX battlesuit.
...
Braveman could only stare at the devastation before him. The depths which RX Group went to dumbfound him truly was terrifying. Who else would try and attack him with the individual parts of some kind of battle suit, only for each part to backfire horribly injure its users? Only RX Group.
He'd been slightly worried the other day when that troublesome woman appeared with a bunch of new minions following her. Fortunately, the new minions hadn't done anything as he was forcibly caught up in that troublesome woman's delusions before he blasted them all off with a well-placed Brave Punch. And it looked like today was no different.
The rocket gauntlets had dislocated the first minion while the second minion had no way of controlling the rocket thrusters and ended up flying straight up into the air before falling face first back into the ground. Finally, the minion wearing the torso part that might have been able to fire a laser from the chest promptly self-destructed. He honestly felt sorry for Miss Black General's minions. The remaining three were tending to the injuries of the first three while that woman was on her knees crying at the abysmal failure of this mission.
However, Braveman had to admit that whoever designed those bodysuits must be a genius if the minions were still able to move after all the damage they took.
"..Ku. It's...our loss!" Miss Black general cried out as she bemoaned her situation.
"How can you even win or lose if we haven't fought yet?" Braveman said in an unamused tone. It was true, while her minions were getting themselves blown up, she had simply ordered the next one to go and show him the next part. It was clear that the woman lacked pattern recognition.
"...I can no longer resist you...And when a powerless female enemy is captured, there is only one thing to do!"
'Ah, here we go again' though Braveman, recognising the unfortunately familiar tone of Miss General's voice. However, before Miss General could explain what that one thing to do was, something came crashing down from between Braveman and Miss General.
Before Braveman could identify what had just landed, an armoured fist came flying straight towards his face. "GET AWAY FROM THE GENERAL, YOU SCOUNDREL!" Braveman's eyes widened in shock and it almost cost him as the fist suddenly accelerated. Barely dodging in time, the armoured fist grazed Braveman's left cheek. However, the figure that tried to punch him suddenly twisted around in mid punch and suddenly a kick came straight at Braveman. The hero, unable to dodge, blocked the blow. The kick impacted against his arm and Braveman let out a surprised grunt as he was sent back several feets.
"S-Strong! Wait, this is - !"
Braveman was shocked to see that his assailant was someone in a villainous looking battlesuit, one that looked far more streamlined and more advanced than the parts the minions from before had been using.
"Eh?" Miss Black General was confused. Who was this dark tall stranger that had gotten between her and Braveman? "WHO DARES INTERRUPT MY FLAG WITH BRAVEMAN!?"
"Miss General. It is I, Lackey F of the Lackey Squad. I have come equipped with the Mark Two RX Battlesuit to assist you in defeating Braveman and retrieve the Mark One Battle Suit. However, it appears that I was late." The armoured figure explained. "It seems Braveman has already destroyed the Mark One. Forgive me for being late, Miss General! I shall redeem myself by defeating Braveman here and now! Now come at me, hero! I, Lackey F, shall defeat you!"
"What?! RX Group actually made a proper battlesuit! No, I see now! So this was all just an attempt to weaken me before I had to face you. Hmph, well you plan failed miserably. Ready yourself villain! I, Braveman, the hero of this city shall not let evil triumph!"
With that, Lackey F in the Mark 2 RX Battlesuit began to do battle with Braveman. Moving at high speeds, the two danced a dance of warriors, heroic willpower against evil genius, steel against flesh, and good versus evil. Fists clashed with each other as the two fought for their own reasons. Braveman, to fully relish the fact that he was fighting a proper villain for once instead of dealing with that woman and her delusions of attraction. Lackey F, to redeem himself as a gentleman for failing to arrive in time to help his fellow members in RX Group whose current state of injury was no doubt because of Braveman.
Miss Black General who watched the fight could only say one thing.
"WHAT ABOUT MY TORTURE PLAY WITH BRAVEMAN!?"
In the end, the fight ended in Braveman's victory as the Mark Two RX Battlesuit began to run out of power and was forced to retreat with the others in tow.
All in all, the effectiveness of the Mark Two RX battlesuit could not be denied. As the members of RX became more skilled at piloting the suit, it would no doubt become an all important asset to the group as a whole. Miss General managed to keep the minions that came with her quiet on how she had them use the parts of the Mark One armour separately and blame its destruction on Braveman.
Reward: RX Battlesuit Mark Two now available for Missions/Sorties. (Grants +15 Martial to minion type character. Grants Hero-unit status to wearer).
Ideology: You're rising up the ranks of evil yet you're still kinda unsure about what being evil is really all about. However, you've got some prime example of evil around you and you oughta take notes from them. Of course, some evils might be better left ignored. At the very least, it'll be a good bonding exercise to talk about evil. (Choose 1)
[X] The Boss: He is the enigmatic leader of RX Group. His true face is hidden behind a white mask. His strength of his power is undeniable. He plans to take over the world to expose its problems to society but what is he really after? What is his exact relationship with Miss Secretary? He is your boss so you should build up your relationship with him. It would surely do you good in the future. Cost: 20. Chance of Success: 70%. Increased relationship with the Boss. Chance of Increased Ideology, Martial and Diplomacy.
Roll: 43
You spent some time with the Boss, mostly consoling him after his loss of access to his computer and his V-bay account, despite the fact that you were the one responsible for doing so. Figuring out the Boss' password was easy since he kept them on post-it notes around his computer's monitor. You informed him of this and since then, he's taken the time to fully memories his passwords in order to prevent someone from accessing his stuff online.
He didn't blame you for taking about his online shopping privileges. He knew that Miss Secretary had been nagging him to stop buying figurines but as a true collector, he just couldn't do it. He did greatly appreciate the gift you gave him, a bunch of old superhero and supervillain figurines that you got from a garage sale.
He was even happier when he found that one of the action figurines was, in fact, a ultra-rare super limited edition figurine of a former villain before they had gone straight and became a hero.
Reward: Improved relationship with The Boss.
Personal: You've got some free time to spare after you've done your chores and assigned duties. (Choose 1)
[X] Physical Conditioning: You're weak. You know that without your powers, you're actually weaker than the other minions. You need to get stronger, faster and build up your stamina. A strong body is essential to surviving as a villain, in your opinion at least. Cost: 10. Chance of Success: 90%. Reward: Better Stamina. Progress towards Trait. ???
Roll: 100 Critical Roll: 41
You had Miss Scientist make some protein shakes to help you build some muscles while you were training. What you never expected was Miss Scientist to not only do as you had asked her to but she also added her own secret formula into the mix as well.
You hadn't noticed anything until one of the other lackeys pointed out that you were getting taller and growing more muscles.
Whatever Miss Scientist did to the protein shakes was making you buff like hell. By the end of the week, you had grown so much that not only were you pretty much unrecognisable from when you first arrived, your suit no longer fit you.
Fortunately, it seemed Miss Scientist had predicted that this would happen and made you a brand new suit.
However, it turns out that whatever Miss Scientist gave you was one of her old experiments. She'd never found someone to test it and it had been a long time that she'd forgotten the formula, meaning the benefits of the potion she gave you was lost for the time being - at least until she somehow recreated it.
When you came in the next day, to say that everyone was stunned to see the new you was a bit of an understatement.
"Holy Crap! Who the heck are you!?" The Boss exclaimed when he saw you doing some "Did the Syndicate send you? I didn't think they'll send an ultra strong-looking guy like you to our group. Wait, does that mean we don't get to use that favour?"
"....D?" Even the usually unflappable Miss Secretary was surprised.
"Dude! You're like...totally not a Lackey anymore!" One of your fellow Lackeys exclaimed. Indeed, you practically towered over all of them.
"Oh, hey Lackey D. Did you get a new outfit from Miss Scientist?" Miss Black General, however, didn't seem to notice the changes in you besides the new suit.
"Kukuku, aren't you impressed? This is the results of my genius!" Miss Scientist was having fun with the entire thing as well as being happy that her potion worked as she had hoped.
You were very happy with the results.
Reward: Superhuman Augmentation (Body) Trait Gained. New Bodysuit. No longer look like a Lackey.
Costs: 10+50+10+50+40+20=180
420 – 180 = 240 Mission funds remaining.
Martial: Free from the tyranny of Miss Black General's leadership of the general Lackey forces, you are free to do what you want! Okay, not really. Miss Secretary has provided you several missions that if successful with prove beneficial to RX Group. It'll be tough doing it solo while Miss Black General's out trying to feed Braveman some hypnosis drug but you shall persevere! (Choose 1)

Not only does it focus far too much on Miss Black General, she isn't even clear on what RX's objectives are. Nothing on what the benefits of joining RX Group would be - it's like she expected people to come and join based on her presence. You need to make a better video ASAP.

A more awkward applause rang out across the junkyard as the other members of RX Group didn't quite know how to take this new guy.

"Everyone, do your best to make these guys feel at home! They'll be joining the sorties tomorrow so take a chance today to get to know them better."
With that, RX Group gained several new members.
Reward: Lackey E, Lackey F, and Lackey G have joined RX Group. Miss General is ecstatic.
Stewardship: Assisting Miss Secretary behind the scenes really illuminates you to how much she's actually able to squeeze out of RX Group's budget. With the small windfall of money you got from selling that gold statue, a number of projects that Miss Secretary had put on hold are now available to be undertaken. Time to expand. (Choose 1)
[X] Boss Overwatch: The Boss got a better paying job but that just means more money for him to waste. You might have cash now but it'll be gone one way or another. Miss Secretary has ordered you to put everything you have at stake here and find a way to keep him from needlessly wasting money on his hobbies! Cost: 50. Chance of Success: 80%. Reward: 50 Income.
Roll: 63
The Boss entered his office, looking around to check if the coast was clear. Seeing that nobody was around, he let out a sigh of relief. Lately, Miss Secretary was getting on his ass for buying stuff using the group's funds without permission. Miss Secretary might be his most loyal member and best friend but she simply didn't understand what it was to be a figurine collector.
To the Boss, it was a fun and engaging hobby. Plus, when they were lined up in the glass cases in the office, they made for an impressive decorative piece. Not only that, figurines can't be pirated. Every figurine the Boss had was hand-crafted by a professional figurine maker. Plus because they were handmade, there were few of them and therefore were valuable. The rarity of his limited edition Magmadon figurine was worth the amount of cash he'd shelled out to buy it on V-Bay.
Indeed, just the sight of these figurines of famous villains filled the Boss with pride. One day, he'll get a figurine of his own. Right then, while nobody was looking, there was a rare figurine that he'd been planning to get. With Miss Secretary still angry about that time when he accidentally ate her pudding she'd been saving for later, the Boss had to be very careful.
Powering on his computer, the Boss eagerly went to log onto his V-bay account.
"Eh? Wrong password?" For some reason, his password wasn't working. After a couple of attempts, the Boss started getting worried. "Crap crap crap crap crap, please don't be a hacker, please don't be a hacker."
Clicking on the link to reset his password, the Boss froze when he saw that his secret question had been changed.
What is it that the leader RX Group should not be doing with RX Group funds?
The Boss stared at the words on the screen, in both awe and horror. "......Secretary seriously hacked into my account to keep me from buying figurines?" Suddenly, his feelings burst forth from the unfairness of it all. "What the hell!? I'm the Boss aren't I so shouldn't it be fine if I spend a few dollars to reward myself for all my hard work!? Hmph, impressive, Miss Secretary but you're mistaken if you think this will stop me! I can still confirm my identity with my phone!"
After going through the procedure to have them send a confirmation code to his phone, the Boss waited patiently. Soon his phone alerted him to a new message.
It was from Miss Secretary
"My assistant changed all your account details. Please see me if you want permission to buy stuff that isn't related to RX Group's needs."
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!"
The scream of despair that the Boss let out, was recorded and used in as a screaming sound effect in a video game.
Reward: Boss's spending habits have been curtailed. Income increased by 60.
Diplomacy: Last week was a disaster but there's a silver lining to the whole thing. The Boss and Miss Secretary's exploits have already gotten out in the villain world so now everyone's taking your group a little more seriously. Let's hope the Boss doesn't do anything stupid and piss someone off by accident! (Choose 1)
[X] Sheltering the Syndicate Scraps: Not every member of the Syndicate om Ryuei City got captured. Right now, there's a bunch of scattered goon desperate for a safe place to hide out until things blow over. As a fellow villainous organisation, it's only right that you offer these poor souls the safety of your group. And who knows? They might even like it here in RX Group. Cost: 40. Chance of Success. 80%. Reward: Open up Relations with the Syndicate. Gain a Syndicate favour. Chance of Syndicate members joining RX Group.
Roll: 61
"Eh? I thought we only had three new members. When did we get more?" Miss Black General asked as she looked at the gathered Lackeys. Indeed, there was twice the number of lackeys than there should be, excluding yourself. "Could it be...That my time has come? Ohohohoho! Prepare yourself Braveman! Soon you should face the ever charismatic me and no doubt fall for my charms that are able to attract minions with ease!"
The Former Syndicate Goons and the three new recruits stared at their boss with heavy concern while the three original trios simply sighed in exasperation. One of the goons tapped Lackey A on the shoulder. "Hey...A, right? Is this normal?"
"Yeah, don't worry about it. This always happen." Lackey A replied in a tired tone. It seems no-one had told Miss General that a number of low ranking Syndicate Members had been transferred over to RX Group as a reward for helping some higher ranked members escape from the Hero League Syndicate hunt. Sort of.
The Syndicate had been gracious enough to make a deal with RX Group. In exchange for allowing Syndicate goons to work as RX Lackeys, the Syndicate would pay RX Group a significant cash sum in order to pay the wages of the Syndicate Goons. Along with a favour that RX Group could request in the future, it seems that working with the Syndicate would be good for RX Group.
"Alright, men! Let us go and meet Braveman! With you at my side, he will surely see my stunning charisma and fall me!"
"Ahahaha...Please tell me she's kidding. Please senpai."
"Sorry but she's serious. Relax. We just have to make sure she doesn't do anything...stupendously stupid and extract her when she messes up."
"...What counts as stupendously stupid?"
"....Good questions."
Reward: Six Syndicate Goons have joined RX Group. RX Group has a deal with the Syndicate. +100 Trade Income. Increased Relations with the Syndicate. 1 Syndicate Favour gained.
Intrigue: One of the biggest advantages of RX Group was their relatively unknown presence. Now that things have been stirred up a bit, it might be a good time to invest in better security, better information gathering and over all a way to ensure that no-one gets captured in the event of an attack. (Choose 1)
[X] Better Security Measures: You remember how easy it was to just walk through the front door, steal a uniform and hang around the base until Miss Secretary found you and formally recruited you into the group. You can't let something like that repeat itself. Setup security doors, keycards, burglar alarms, secret password phrases, that kind of stuff. Cost: 50. Chance of Success: 60%. Reward: Base Security upgraded. Less likelihood of being caught unaware. Less chance of someone sneaking in without being caught.
Roll: 40
With the sudden increase of RX Lackeys, there had to be a few changes made. Unfortunately, with the exception of Miss Secretary, nobody had any real experience with security systems and the likes. It took much more effort and money, as well as help from Miss Secretary, to set up a decent security system for RX Group.
The front door had been replaced with properly hidden security doors that needed both a keycard and a ten digit password in order to be opened. There were a couple of security cameras that were connected to a small workstation that was manned by the Lackeys who took turns in shifts.
The secret password phrases didn't work out since everyone kept getting it wrong, including the Boss, which resulted in some entertaining mishaps where everyone dogpiled the Boss thinking he was an enemy spy.
Honestly, the security system was alright but against a proper professional infiltrator, it might as well have been a cardboard sign with the words "Beware of Dog". RX Group needs to get a proper spymaster at some point in the future.
Reward: Basic Security Measures have been integrated into the main Base. Chances of someone breaking in without being caught lowered. Chances of a surprise attack on Base lowered.
Learning: Miss Scientist has been perfecting the Monster Creation process along with some other side projects. Miss General's already out trying to test a hypnosis potion on Braveman. With your help, Miss Scientist might be able to finish one of her bigger projects this week. It is time for some mad science! (Choose 1)
[X] Power Armour Up: Miss Scientist has been working on a battlesuit that she claims will allow even a lackey to fight the likes of Braveman on even, perhaps greater grounds. Hell, even if it isn't as strong as Braveman, making a lackey more dangerous is always a plus in your evil books! With you helping, Miss Scientist will be able to get this battlesuit done in no time at all! Cost: 40. Chance of Success: 60% Reward: RX Battlesuit ready for combat! Significantly Increase Lackey Trio's Martial.
Roll: 88
Just like she had done with the unveiling of every major project that she had completed, Miss Scientist had everyone gathered in her laboratory was the presentation of the new RX Battlesuit.
"Introducing the RX Battle Suit Mark 2!" Miss Scientist practically shouted out as she pulled off the white sheet covering her newest creation.
The RX Battlesuit was completed in no time flat. While you did have a hand in its creation, Miss Scientist did most of the important stuff. Powered by a specially made power source, the battlesuit was capable of greatly increasing the combat capabilities of its wearer, enough to make it a threat even to Braveman if Miss Scientist's calculations were correct.
Strength enhancement that would be able to give Braveman pause. Armour capable of tanking more than a dozen direct punches from Braveman himself. Hidden jets that would boost arm and leg movements increasing the power behind a strike. High powered thrusters that would allow limited flight and rapid movement. An inbuilt beam cannon was hidden behind the chest plate and it was capable of blowing up a car with ease.
"Ooooh! Impressive! You've outdone yourself Miss Scientist! This will surely show Braveman just who's in charge around here!" The Boss seemed suitably impressed by the battlesuit as did the other lackeys.
Huh, you hadn't noticed but half the minions are missing and so was Miss Black General. "Where are the others?"
"Oh? That's strange, I thought I asked the boss to have everyone come and see the new battlesuit." Miss Scientist wondered aloud.
"Ah. I knew I was forgetting to tell someone." The Boss admitted sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. "Teehee, sorry!"
Miss Secretary gave the Boss a bland look before clapping her hands around the Boss' head and detonated the air around it - just strong enough to hurt but not do any proper damage. Boom.
"AAARGH! MY EARS!" As the Boss rolled around on the ground in pain, Miss Secretary turned her attention to you and the other minions. The Lackeys here were a mix of the original trio, the new guys and the syndicate transferees so that meant Lackey A, C, E and Syndicate Minion 1,5, and 6 were probably with Miss General.
"Miss General is probably in the meeting room waiting. Come on."
A few minutes later, you, Miss Secretary and the Boss along with the Lackeys and Miss Scientist arrive to find the meeting room empty save for an empty box and an open manual.
"Hmm? No-one's here." The Boss said, stating the obvious.
"Ah! Where did the Mark One go?" Miss Scientist asked as she checked the box.
"Mark one?"
"Yeah, the prototype! I put it in so that I could have enough space for presenting the Mark two."
Suddenly, X-kun appeared from under the table where he had been napping this entire time. "Oh, Miss General and the others took it with her. Something about showing Braveman the awesome power of RX Group." The cat explained before jumping into the box and curling up to continue his nap.
"Oh dear, that's not good. The helmet which contains the most important control circuits for the other parts is still in my lab. Well it's okay as long as the parts aren't detached for some reason." Miss Scientist explained, none too concerned with the current situation. Then a sneaky grin appeared on her face. "I just got a brilliant idea! Without the helmet, the mark one has no chance of defeating Braveman so how about we send the Mark Two so assist Miss Black General?"
"Hmm, yes. That does sound like a good plan. Who shall we send wearing it though?" Miss Secretary pondered. At that questions, the Boss and the other lackeys immediately gathered around both Miss Secretary and Miss Scientist, requesting to be the one to be the first test pilot.
"Ooh, ooh! Me! Pick me!"
"I humbly volunteer for this duty!"
"I wanna be Iron-man!"
"As the Boss, it should only be fitting that I try on the new battlesuit first!"
Miss Secretary sighed and pulled out some straws from somewhere. "Alright, you all know the drill. Shortest straw gets to try on the armour and retrieve Miss Black General."
Lackey F ended up as the lucky pilot for the first ever test and combat run of the mark two RX battlesuit.
...
Braveman could only stare at the devastation before him. The depths which RX Group went to dumbfound him truly was terrifying. Who else would try and attack him with the individual parts of some kind of battle suit, only for each part to backfire horribly injure its users? Only RX Group.
He'd been slightly worried the other day when that troublesome woman appeared with a bunch of new minions following her. Fortunately, the new minions hadn't done anything as he was forcibly caught up in that troublesome woman's delusions before he blasted them all off with a well-placed Brave Punch. And it looked like today was no different.
The rocket gauntlets had dislocated the first minion while the second minion had no way of controlling the rocket thrusters and ended up flying straight up into the air before falling face first back into the ground. Finally, the minion wearing the torso part that might have been able to fire a laser from the chest promptly self-destructed. He honestly felt sorry for Miss Black General's minions. The remaining three were tending to the injuries of the first three while that woman was on her knees crying at the abysmal failure of this mission.
However, Braveman had to admit that whoever designed those bodysuits must be a genius if the minions were still able to move after all the damage they took.
"..Ku. It's...our loss!" Miss Black general cried out as she bemoaned her situation.
"How can you even win or lose if we haven't fought yet?" Braveman said in an unamused tone. It was true, while her minions were getting themselves blown up, she had simply ordered the next one to go and show him the next part. It was clear that the woman lacked pattern recognition.
"...I can no longer resist you...And when a powerless female enemy is captured, there is only one thing to do!"
'Ah, here we go again' though Braveman, recognising the unfortunately familiar tone of Miss General's voice. However, before Miss General could explain what that one thing to do was, something came crashing down from between Braveman and Miss General.
Before Braveman could identify what had just landed, an armoured fist came flying straight towards his face. "GET AWAY FROM THE GENERAL, YOU SCOUNDREL!" Braveman's eyes widened in shock and it almost cost him as the fist suddenly accelerated. Barely dodging in time, the armoured fist grazed Braveman's left cheek. However, the figure that tried to punch him suddenly twisted around in mid punch and suddenly a kick came straight at Braveman. The hero, unable to dodge, blocked the blow. The kick impacted against his arm and Braveman let out a surprised grunt as he was sent back several feets.
"S-Strong! Wait, this is - !"
Braveman was shocked to see that his assailant was someone in a villainous looking battlesuit, one that looked far more streamlined and more advanced than the parts the minions from before had been using.
"Eh?" Miss Black General was confused. Who was this dark tall stranger that had gotten between her and Braveman? "WHO DARES INTERRUPT MY FLAG WITH BRAVEMAN!?"
"Miss General. It is I, Lackey F of the Lackey Squad. I have come equipped with the Mark Two RX Battlesuit to assist you in defeating Braveman and retrieve the Mark One Battle Suit. However, it appears that I was late." The armoured figure explained. "It seems Braveman has already destroyed the Mark One. Forgive me for being late, Miss General! I shall redeem myself by defeating Braveman here and now! Now come at me, hero! I, Lackey F, shall defeat you!"
"What?! RX Group actually made a proper battlesuit! No, I see now! So this was all just an attempt to weaken me before I had to face you. Hmph, well you plan failed miserably. Ready yourself villain! I, Braveman, the hero of this city shall not let evil triumph!"
With that, Lackey F in the Mark 2 RX Battlesuit began to do battle with Braveman. Moving at high speeds, the two danced a dance of warriors, heroic willpower against evil genius, steel against flesh, and good versus evil. Fists clashed with each other as the two fought for their own reasons. Braveman, to fully relish the fact that he was fighting a proper villain for once instead of dealing with that woman and her delusions of attraction. Lackey F, to redeem himself as a gentleman for failing to arrive in time to help his fellow members in RX Group whose current state of injury was no doubt because of Braveman.
Miss Black General who watched the fight could only say one thing.
"WHAT ABOUT MY TORTURE PLAY WITH BRAVEMAN!?"
In the end, the fight ended in Braveman's victory as the Mark Two RX Battlesuit began to run out of power and was forced to retreat with the others in tow.
All in all, the effectiveness of the Mark Two RX battlesuit could not be denied. As the members of RX became more skilled at piloting the suit, it would no doubt become an all important asset to the group as a whole. Miss General managed to keep the minions that came with her quiet on how she had them use the parts of the Mark One armour separately and blame its destruction on Braveman.
Reward: RX Battlesuit Mark Two now available for Missions/Sorties. (Grants +15 Martial to minion type character. Grants Hero-unit status to wearer).
Ideology: You're rising up the ranks of evil yet you're still kinda unsure about what being evil is really all about. However, you've got some prime example of evil around you and you oughta take notes from them. Of course, some evils might be better left ignored. At the very least, it'll be a good bonding exercise to talk about evil. (Choose 1)
[X] The Boss: He is the enigmatic leader of RX Group. His true face is hidden behind a white mask. His strength of his power is undeniable. He plans to take over the world to expose its problems to society but what is he really after? What is his exact relationship with Miss Secretary? He is your boss so you should build up your relationship with him. It would surely do you good in the future. Cost: 20. Chance of Success: 70%. Increased relationship with the Boss. Chance of Increased Ideology, Martial and Diplomacy.
Roll: 43
You spent some time with the Boss, mostly consoling him after his loss of access to his computer and his V-bay account, despite the fact that you were the one responsible for doing so. Figuring out the Boss' password was easy since he kept them on post-it notes around his computer's monitor. You informed him of this and since then, he's taken the time to fully memories his passwords in order to prevent someone from accessing his stuff online.
He didn't blame you for taking about his online shopping privileges. He knew that Miss Secretary had been nagging him to stop buying figurines but as a true collector, he just couldn't do it. He did greatly appreciate the gift you gave him, a bunch of old superhero and supervillain figurines that you got from a garage sale.
He was even happier when he found that one of the action figurines was, in fact, a ultra-rare super limited edition figurine of a former villain before they had gone straight and became a hero.
Reward: Improved relationship with The Boss.
Personal: You've got some free time to spare after you've done your chores and assigned duties. (Choose 1)
[X] Physical Conditioning: You're weak. You know that without your powers, you're actually weaker than the other minions. You need to get stronger, faster and build up your stamina. A strong body is essential to surviving as a villain, in your opinion at least. Cost: 10. Chance of Success: 90%. Reward: Better Stamina. Progress towards Trait. ???
Roll: 100 Critical Roll: 41
You had Miss Scientist make some protein shakes to help you build some muscles while you were training. What you never expected was Miss Scientist to not only do as you had asked her to but she also added her own secret formula into the mix as well.
You hadn't noticed anything until one of the other lackeys pointed out that you were getting taller and growing more muscles.
Whatever Miss Scientist did to the protein shakes was making you buff like hell. By the end of the week, you had grown so much that not only were you pretty much unrecognisable from when you first arrived, your suit no longer fit you.
Fortunately, it seemed Miss Scientist had predicted that this would happen and made you a brand new suit.
However, it turns out that whatever Miss Scientist gave you was one of her old experiments. She'd never found someone to test it and it had been a long time that she'd forgotten the formula, meaning the benefits of the potion she gave you was lost for the time being - at least until she somehow recreated it.
When you came in the next day, to say that everyone was stunned to see the new you was a bit of an understatement.
"Holy Crap! Who the heck are you!?" The Boss exclaimed when he saw you doing some "Did the Syndicate send you? I didn't think they'll send an ultra strong-looking guy like you to our group. Wait, does that mean we don't get to use that favour?"
"....D?" Even the usually unflappable Miss Secretary was surprised.
"Dude! You're like...totally not a Lackey anymore!" One of your fellow Lackeys exclaimed. Indeed, you practically towered over all of them.
"Oh, hey Lackey D. Did you get a new outfit from Miss Scientist?" Miss Black General, however, didn't seem to notice the changes in you besides the new suit.
"Kukuku, aren't you impressed? This is the results of my genius!" Miss Scientist was having fun with the entire thing as well as being happy that her potion worked as she had hoped.
You were very happy with the results.
Reward: Superhuman Augmentation (Body) Trait Gained. New Bodysuit. No longer look like a Lackey.

That was wonderful! Next turn we should do group training option, since you know the fact that the bulk of our Martial ability come from our two superpowers and the new Captain America serum. God we suck at actual fighting techniques outside of using brute force. Also expand our base since it's getting a little crowded with 9 new recruits from this turn.
