We’ll Meet Again
We'll Meet Again:

March 20th, 1949

-[X]Advertising for dummies: You need to get your name out onto the street. (Cost 30,000 Marks, will increase profit roll when you finally unleash a drug, a vaccine, or paper) Rolled: D100 => 28

You smiled as you looked at the ad. "Really going for a fun time, aren't we?"

Erik frowned. "Oh don't be like that. It's fantastic."

The Future Inc Logo was on the flyer, and it was quite good, hell even the slogan was less off-putting than you thought it was. "Shouldn't we try something on the radio?"

Erik frowned. "Too expensive, also, this is something two people can do in a short time."

"But flyers really?" You asked.

"You have a better idea that won't bankrupt us?" Erik asked.

"Well, I still think that once we get a product, Radio and magazine will be the best way to go. But for local usage, perhaps we can use the flyers as an ad in the Newspapers?" You replied. "We already have it made, so we don't need to have an artist hired to make it."

Erik frowned. "If you say."

Reward:

Increase profit when the drug is released.

But profit roll will suffer a -120 to it's roll due to… a not so good ad.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-[X]Perform Experiments: You need to get some product, preferably something that works without killing people or causing them nasty side effects (Cost 5,000 Marks) Rolled:D100 => 75

You had done some tests and experiments on a few compounds.

The side effects were negligible, save for nausea. And diarrhea. And the loss of taste

And the loss of feeling on the left side.

At least it didn't last longer than a few minutes.

Though you may have gotten a poor result because of your… mutation and problematic… bodily composition.

Reward: You receive data on a few things. Good thing they did not kill you. However, you have a feeling that it is just your strange body doing the work.

Side Effect roll decreased by a -10.

Other Effect Roll increased by +10.

If you critically fail in producing a drug, have a small chance of creating something else.

If you critically succeed. Have a 90% chance of creating something else.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

March 21st.

-[X]The Blue Shades of Raven Darkholme: Raven was grateful when she appeared. "Well… thank you, Heinrich, for not forcing me to reveal my powers to you. It's… wonderful to have someone not make choices for me, and lets me make a choice for myself." Rolled:D100 => 72

Raven was quiet as you both sat on the roof. It was near the morning, and the streets were empty.

Everywhere was quiet. And not a soul was watching, and even Charles was asleep, and you guessed that was not why you felt him

"Hi Raven, take it you are enjoying the sunrise?" You asked.

Raven nodded. "Yeah, it's strange seeing it in the city. I always wake up early and find a spot above the trees on the property to see the sunrise early in the day. The only time I can feel like I can be myself."

She seemed bitter. "Charles means well, but I think he is overprotective because he fears that if I am discovered, he'll never see me again."

You frowned. "He is right to be cautious." There was fear, but you never wished to never feel such a burden. "But that should not mean he controls you."

Raven frowned. "What does that mean?"

"Tell him the truth, and nothing but it." You stated. "Tell him that you wish to a relationship built on trust, and there cannot be trust if he does not realize that you wish to make your own choices. To strike out and learn. To be… Raven?"

Raven frowned. "He never likes it, he always notices my thoughts, and uses my fears into keeping me… staying by his side."

"Than use that against him." You stated. "If he is so afraid of losing you, that he resorts to using his powers, point out the hypocrisy."

"He can force me to stay." She said, a little scared. "He can change thoughts."

"Than tell him this. If you do that. You will not be my brother, but my warden. And I will always look to be free." You stated. "Remind him of the good that he can do, and the evil he is doing."

You then took a breath. "It's a beautiful morning out." You stood next to her. "Can I watch the sunrise with you?"

Raven felt comforted by you, you could see it on her face. "Yeah."

You then saw her body change. Scales and her skin morphed into a blue shade, before she stood before you, naked as the day she was born.

She had orange, almost red hair, and her eyes were a more golden, yellow color.

She was beautiful. The sun was rising as well, just behind her, as the glow illuminated her.

"Thank you, Heinrich." She said, before giving you a kiss on the cheek, and walking away back inside, her body morphing back to the form you saw her in and left you alone.

Whether she was confident… or maybe you had just told her the truth about her situation. It did not matter.

But now you realized something.

You had someone who cared about you too.

Reward:

Raven is now confronting Charles about his control issues, and it may help them both put up their boundaries.

You have helped Raven immensely in finding her own confidence, and in her desire to strike out on her own, to adventure and change the world for the better.

In the rumor mill, Raven will now go on minor adventures and crime-fighting in America, and if she rolls a crit, she may do something amazing.

Charles will now begin his own studies in genetics and will begin a role for his own field study (Genetics). He may also go on minor adventures in America.

--[X]Time Management: It often feels as though you don't have enough time to do everything you need to, but the reality is that you do have enough time, you just aren't good enough at using it. Time to change that. Rolled: D100 => 99+15=114


How in God's name did you ever have so much lost time?!

So many wasted hours. So many wasted… days even.

Well no more, you are going to use your great time… with great significance.

Reward:

Time management skill is set to 5/5.

+2 to business and Personal Actions.

If you decide to use fewer actions than provided, gain a +20 to all rolls.

-[X]Reclaim Humanity: Erik is on the edge. The evil within him stirs and is waiting for him to give up. You need to remind him that… Life is beautiful. Rolled: D100 => 94

Erik was quiet. You knew what was going on through his head. You had seen it in other men.

In yourself on occasion. But those moments were just that, fleeting moments of rage that quickly subsided.

In Erik, he had remained frightfully… enraged.

There was no stopping his anger, his drive, and thirst for revenge, no more than one could stop the sun. Or help him sleep at night.

As you stood on the roof of Future Corporations, you realized that he could not be saved. At least by you. You both shared the same trauma, but not to the levels that Erik had.

It was not fair to him that you should judge him.

So you didn't.

You waited and waited and waited, for days to weeks, before he finally came to you.

And he did. Just as you thought he would, after finishing the operation.

His face was… empty.

His rage gone. He looked to you with empty eyes.

He had gotten the revenge he so craved. "You never thought about how hard it was… taking their lives?"

Erik frowned. "It was remarkably easy." He said, completely deadpan, causing you to feel slightly worried. "And it frightened me."

"In what way?" You asked.

"I had turned these men into monsters in my mind. Irredeemable filth that humanity would not stand for. That I was the avenging angel, bringing their pain onto them." He said.

You saw him look away. "I injected metal into them, tortured them." He turned away in shame. "I turned their bodies inside out, while they were still alive. The men I was with cheered. Some called it vengence for millions. I felt vindicated."

You made him look at you as you moved in front of his gaze. "How can I go back to my wife as the same monster these men were. That I tortured them the same way, I was tortured. Without humanity. Without anything at all."

He took a breath, pausing, letting himself relax. "I can see why you were so against it."

"And yet you are still here, talking to me, instead of being with your wife, whom it would be far more appropriate to have this conversation with." You muttered, feeling slightly sarcastic. "Instead you're with me."

"My wife, is many things, Heinrich. A fountain of wisdom about killing the men who tortured her and her people in pseudo-scientific experiments to prove racial superiority…. She is not." Erik replied. "I need a better, less biased perspective."

"I was tortured and shot by Nazi's too." You muttered. "And I was experimented on as well, so what makes you think I will be any help?"

"As I said, less biased, not unbiased," Erik replied, feeling better, even now. "As for why? You're a good man. A far better man than I will ever be."

You were touched by his honesty. "I said that revenge was not justice. And what you did was not justice. You allowed your rage to control you. To become the monster that Schmit wanted you to be. I say become better. Don't let your powers, or the trauma that these men have caused you, destroy you. Let it help you. Let it help your wife and family, whenever you have one, never make the choices you had to make today."

Erik smiled at that. "Are you sure your powers aren't infinite wisdom?"

"No. I just believe that men are good. And you are good Erik, despite everything that has happened." You then stood up. "Now, come along Erik, I need some help with something."

"Another mad experiment that will knock you out for days?" Erik asked.

"Hopefully not." You replied.

Reward: Erik is coming back from the brink.

He may wish for revenge, but not the one that takes away from justice. He may kill, but he will never revel in it, or torture another person.

He is becoming a far better man. He may forever have blackened armor, seeking to do only what he thinks is right, but he is still a knight and in the end, he will do the right thing.

It just might take him a while to do it.

Since we now have 5 actions I strongly suggest using 3 of them on skills since we have 3 that are pretty crucial to learn now. First 2 being investigation and personal relations since we need to hire people for our company but don't have a vetting process and these skills would let us develop methods for this. The last skill being unarmed combat so that we are better able to defend ourselves.

Not sure what to use the last two actions on.

For the company action should really start making medicine to sell.

I feel it would be best for us to make sure our medicine is the best it can be before expanding to other fields.
Also, @Magoose Sorry for ping but If we skip multiple actions does it give a bigger bonus to our rolls?

Something I strongly suggest against is hyper focusing on things like this. Main reason being that the QM has repeatedly said that they want to write a super hero story. Thus we should avoid hyper focusing on just one thing like the company or else this just turns into a business quest. Doing this kind of thing is guaranteed to lead to a quest dying since it's literally nothing but research. Like we aren't in any real hurry to do so much research at once. I also strongly suggest against trying to raise every single stat to the highest level when the skills are already high. We already have a 4/5 for both medicine and pharmaceuticals.

Meanwhile we literally don't have any people working under us besides Eric who is doing security. That's a colossal oversight and something we need to deal with right away. We also need to improve vetting skills since other wise it can seriously bite us in the ass this early if we don't know who we are hiring at this point.

That may be true but researching medicine could pave the way for super-soldier serums in the future and other bullshit comic book science stuff. Besides, it's just one turn to focus on medicine. i'm not suggesting we spend every single turn on R&D, since this one vote should cover most of the medicine stuff I want to happen.

The title says everything I am not taking all the actions so that we have a bonus, then we research two extremely profitable potential medicines and we kick the ass of the nazis while rounding up our combat skills

I could be convinced of changing PlayStation for something else

Do keep in mind that we are still like a 13 year old right now so idk how martial arts is even gonna help that much. Comic book science is literally complete BS so I think that researching science is the best way to become a superhero rather than martial training

Like with our power we can literally just become Iron Man before it was cool

The same exact logic could literally be applied to numerous other things like robotics, lasers and power armor. If people just say 'it's just one turn' then that shit could keep happening over and over every few turns solely because people have little patience to just try to spread things out. It definitely feels like a real possibility since we can just flat out roll low on training skills- hence why we should really avoid obsessing over any one thing with hyper focusing.

Something else to consider is that the QM confirmed that super science types do get bonuses to their fields with something like a 50+ being an example. We don't get that so trying to match the guy that made the super soldier serum doesn't seem like it's a good idea since he likely has such a bonus as well. On top of that we likely need other subjects to even consider trying it to get something like the super serum like genetics and physiology. I also seriously doubt that getting something like that is going to be easy and not something that won't require a lot of work to get.

Another reason I strongly suggest against try to hyper specialize too much with turns.

Ok, but slippery slope argument is not necessarily true. I want to focus on medicine this turn as this is our literal only source of income so I want to make sure it's good before we focus on punching people in the face. Like the reason I want to only focus on our medicine this turn is so we don't have to focus on it later. If we get it up and running now we can do other things

Wait, wait, what? How are we supposed to be a superhero, and more importantly, develop as a superhero if we don't invest in a wide variety of subjects?

Also by your argument about low rolling on training, wouldn't that very same logic support only taking a single action per training turn to guarantee a high roll?
