Plus, I am pretty sure that Technor would consider using his psychotherapy to try prying that kinda info outta Alan *serious malpractice* (despite being a villain, he takes his profession as a shrink *very seriously* - heck, him taking shrink-ing so seriously is part of the reason he *became a villain* in the first place)
Psychotherapy is meant to help people acknowledge and deal with mental traumata or hang-ups, but Alan *consciously chose* to not work on the codes - meaning that from a medical standpoint, there is nothing to "cure" except maybe that "pesky free will" if you are so inclined.

Would it be better to have him try and make the new OS compatible with doofOS so the digital refugees can move over?

I'll take a 60% or so chance of a critical here vs a 50% or so chance of getting the computers done, particularly considering that I think that knowledge of the galactic situation is likely to be less immediately relevant now that we have gone through Kataklysm.
Also, are we in need of XP somewhere? I think that I have some saved.

To be fair, it's entirely possible Alan's reticence comes from some unresolved trauma or hang-ups (given what the bad ending to Tron would look like). To be fairer, even if he finds out, he can't tell us without Alan's own express permission: it'd be a huge breach of medical ethics.
That falls under Stewardship, not Learning, and there is simply more urgent shit that needs doing.

Pretty sure Alan got no hangups about it other than him just not *wanting* to work on it.
But yeah, Technor spilling the beans about any therapy with Alan he might be doing without his express permission would be a huge breach of doctor-patient-confidentiality - so there is no reason to have Technor shrink Alan over something that to me looks like simple reluctance and expect things to work out

I'm always in favor of Space. It's a good time for it, with the government offering large rewards for working patents.

Hey @woweed would you be okay to switch your XP use from lowering the DC of the DoI action to increasing the roll?
Since the action has a DC 125 the Critical Failure would be on 62, Monogram base roll is 41. Lowering the DC would put the CF at 57 so on a roll of 16 or less while increasing the roll would put the Base Roll at 51 putting the CF on a 11 or lower.
@Alchemist767676 would that also be okay for you?
@nwish425 for your XP usage would you be okay in increasing the roll for the Research agreement with the Imagination Institute and Tracking Kat (increasing roll for the research since if not we still have some Critical Fail chance and for Kat since the DC might be high and increasing the roll is the best to lower CF chance).
And decreasing DC for the rest since the other options that didn't have XP already have no Critical Fail chance

The So-Close-Inator (good): Sometimes you get so close to success, but are thwarted at the last instant from total (or bare) victory! At least you can always try again, right?
The Inator increases the threshold for a bare failure from 10 to 20 for the following turn for all actions.
The So-Close-Inator (bad): Sometimes you get so close to success, but are thwarted at the last instant from total (or bare) victory! At least you can always try again, right?
The Inator eliminates the bare failure threshold for all actions for the next turn, turning them into regular failures by default.

Also, as a guy who's studying computer science, I have to say this. Not doing so is causing me physical pain.
@Made in Heaven?
Your code's syntax sucks.

Nah, it's just a joke. Run that through a computer, and all it would supposedly do is print out "USER ERROR".

The Inator changes the threshold for a bare failure from needing a roll of at least 10 less than the DC to needing a roll of at least 90% of the DC for a year.

Got two new Inators for you. Pretty low impact.
Low-Grade-Crappiness-Inator
Sometimes you're having a bad day and want to share that pain with someone else. You stub your toe, or lock your keys in the car, or forget your wallet at home when you go out to grocery shop. This Inator Brings that low grade Crappiness to everyone on earth! No everyone can have just a bad a day as you are!
All national rolls are reduced by 5; for everyone (including other kings). This does not effect personals or quests.
Pretty-good-Day-Inator
Sometimes everything seems to go your way in good ways. And sure, you harnessed the power of positive Stinklekrampen before, but this is different! This is about spreading your good mood to the entire world! Why, if it didn't have the word Evil plastered on the side, it would hardly be a product of evil science at all!

He adamantly refused even when being reprimanded for almost an entire hour in complete silence I'd say there's definitely a possibility this stems from some sort of traumatic experience, likely involving a good friend of his suddenly vanishing, or actually dying, after that laser was used on him. Depending on how TRON went wrong.
Yeah that's fine, it was my basic idea for how I wanted to use it anyways.
Had a thought about getting the codes since it seems Alan isn't going to be doing it any time in the near future.
Reach out to Solanaceae
DC ???
You learned that the Digitizer Codes were acquired by Emerald Solanaceae, and you're fairly certain that the codes are actually there this time! While you could just try and take it from them, TECHNOR's talk about means and David's recent offer has you thinking - what if you could just buy the codes? While it would be a bit more obvious that you're looking into this than you'd like, if negotiations are successful it could save you a lot of trouble.
It would probably cost us some money and we'd definitely be open about it, but whoever's behind Solanaceae knows about us anyway, so that's less than a problem than it would probably normally be.

I suspect it's something along those lines is what Artemis is after, he probably wants to do something important in the grid but wants to avoid during the attention of the MCP directly to him.
