DEI (Doofenshmirtz)
Clean Up Those Gnomes
DC: 50
??? + ??? = 71
SUCCESS!
Comfortable Clothes-Inator
44
Announce working with Old Abe´s Family Emporium for DOOF TV Content!
DC: Higher the Better.
???+???= 64
Not the best rolls for our "new overlord", but at least he got everything we could glean in working order - a net positive, I´d say
But yeah, with Doof broadcasting our collab with him, we are now officially "on the map" for most Nobles in the States at least - for better or worse.
Now the ball´s in our court to deliver him some good shows for his channel, guys!
DRAKKTECH (Shego)
Lobby to Repeal the SRA

SUCCESS!
Seed Doubt about the Freezer
DC: 70
??? + ??? = 42
FAILURE!
Niiiice, our boy Drew - not that we know about that yet, of course - actually managed to lobby to get that dumb Act repealed some time in the future. With that in mind, we might wanna think about 1. rallying behind that repeal some time in the future and 2. grabbign Radioactive Man for our "Nuclear Hype" brand...say, is he an ACTUAL Super or just some guy in a cape with no powers? If the latter, we could rectify that problem via our Nuclear Mutant research later on
Booooo for Monkey Fist for that fuckup, though...
KRONOSCORP (Syndrome)
Send out Feelers
DC: 60
??? + ??? = 91
SUCCESS!
Syndrome, surprisingly, handed Birthday Bandit right over to the police not long after his capture of him. However, the clown mysteriously keeled over In transport, and didn't make it.
After a stop and search, a random officer, Miranda Wright, had poison found on her. The blonde cop insisted it must have been planted, but in the end the options were to believe her and go after the most likely candidate, Syndrome, a man with a huge multi billion dollar company, or take the easy route and arrest the small-time cop who at least looked guilty. Sad as it is, the choice that was picked was obvious.
Syndrome expressed sympathy, providing some plausible evidence Wright had been desperate for money after the loss of her old partner and getting transferred unexpectedly and must have figured if she killed the Bandit she could convince him to still give the reward money.
While all that was going on, it successfully served as a smoke screen for most people that those Syndrome robots seemed to be traveling across the country, looking into something….
...so Syndrome killed Mr. Baker by poisoning and planting some fake evidence incriminating an Officer *Miranda Wright* (seriously, guys? Even I as a German caught that reference^^) to get rid of both? That sucks, but at least I now know how to write BBs demise IH I do end up using that "Laast Laugh omake" idea I had a while ago...
Anyway, him apparently looking for *something* with his Bots is concerning if nothing else...
LEVIATHAN CORP
Handle Bad PR
DC: 85
??? + ??? = 65
FAILURE!
Hire new People
DC: 90
??? + ??? = 68
FAILURE!
...okay, whoever´s behind Leviathan just isn´t having a good day - depending on just how big they are and if this continues, they actually might start falling apart at the seams, which we *could* use to snatch some tasty bits and grow in power/influence ourselves. It´s probably way too early to talk about *outright usurping their Kingship* yet, but..."gift horses", people
Just throwing that one out there, you know?
THE U.S. GOVERNMENT
Reach out to Seth Co. Manufacturing about the Famine
DC: 65
??? + ??? = 138
CRITICAL SUCCESS!
UGH....
Did they *Have* to got to *fucking Toffee and his evil Corn* to get to fixing the Famine?
I mean, probs to them on actually doing something about it, but TOFFEE is just bad news all around...
Dunno if that one makes our lemons less appealing once we do start on those Farms, though...
GLOMGOLD INDUSTRIES (Flintheart Glomgold)
Make a New Social Media Site
DC: 70
??? + ??? = 177
CRITICAL SUCCESS!
Great for him, unfortunately - but at least Facebook is getting shat on.
Small mercies...
ZOOTOPIA (Bellwether)
[ ] Hand Mr. Black and Sergeant Whiteman to a Zootopia prison: They will still be facing justice either way, and it gets you in with another major faction. What do you have to lose? (Gain slight appreciation from Bellwether, increasing her opinion rank with you; unlock a collaboration with Bellwether)
- [ ] Joint Training Between the Springfield and Zootopia Police Departments: While they have been improving at a shockingly steady rate, at the end of the day your police… aren't the best. The ZPD are way more dedicated and competent, and they seem more than willing to offer advice and training! (Your police become better trained, increasing their trait to protect Springfield by +5)
- [ ] Increase Springfield PR: Although she is having her own issues currently, at the end of the day, Bellwether is a politician. She has connections and skills that could easily be used to make your beloved hometown look good. (Bellwether pulls some strings and makes some calls to boost up Springfield to the public, making you seem more appealing to collab with or sell stuff to)
- [ ] Increase Anthro Immigration: Though not without controversy, Bellwether is ultimately still the mayor of one of the bigger Anthro populated cities in the world. If she says Springfield is Anthro friendly, quite a few will listen to her. (Increase immigration of Anthros towards Springfield, though more leaning towards "prey" due to Bellwether being much more popular with them than "preds"; increased income gains from said new citizens)
[ ] Keep the monsters: You fought hard to apprehend them! Why should you hand them over to someone who indirectly helped them!?
-inhales very deeply-
...as understandable as their reactions were, did Wiggum and the others HAVE to be so undiplomatic?
Anyway, while I really don´t want to consort with BW any more than I have to, we don´t really want Black and Whiteman around either and she´ll probably..."vent her frustrations on them"
Right.
I say we tell the b*tch in sheep's clothing to bugger off and, if possible, bring down Burns next turn before he becomes a bigger problem.
I am actually tempted to agree and go for the police option, because let´s be honest:
WIGGUM NEEDS IT
Thought about the immigration "treaty", but since it´ll be slanted towards prey, that kinda runs counter towards our vague plans to offer sanctuary in Springfield to Preds (the opinion malus of which the opinion increase from the Collab Agreement could counteract, just saying), I changed my mind.
...We are in agreement about krumping Burns next turn though because of THIS:
SPRINGFIELD
BURNS
Fortify your Base
DC: 60
??? + ??? = 79
SUCCESS!
Find a new Burns 6 Member
No DC, the higher the better
95
SUCCESS!
Of course that bastard starts digging his feet in and recuperating personnell losses almost immediately - *figures*...
So, which kid hates the Simpson family enough to join Burns?
Or for all we know they might not be from Springfield.
...I actually thought about some of the *teachers* instead of any *kids* - mostly Mr. Largo for some reason...
As for kids, Jessica Lovejoy definitely seems like a probable bet at least...
RANDOM EVENT ROLL
74
REWARD: You and Santa aren't exactly friends, but you've buried the hatchet for the most part!
Santa gave a piece of Magic Coal! When handed to an enemy in a fight, they get so genuinely overcome with shame if they have done anything bad they get a -10 to Martial for the rest of combat, even if they normally wouldn't care or would revel in bad deeds. It can only be used once, however, so choose wisely!
Santa gave all of your Hero Units the perfect gift (what it is will be left ambiguous for all 14, but feel free to headcanon it and the like)! Each of them will have +10 to their Personal Actions next turn.
...okay, either my math from yesterday (the one about which turn corresponds to which months) was off or Kris Kringle decided to visit one turn early - not that I mind, of course
Okay, that Magic Coal is *Very nice*, but it only debuffing *Martial* immediately crosses out Burns himself because of his already abyssmal score there - that and it being a one-time use item requires us to think *very carefully* about whom to conk in the head with it.
Now, the flat +10 to *everyone´s* PAs next turn on the other hand?
VERY POWERFUL - we definitely should make use of that as well as we can...
