My impressions:

Wasabi: Unremarkable, pass.

Rotwood: Mediocre, but we're starved for occult skill and he'll probably get better over time. Politically hazardous to hire however.
Alan Turing Bradley: Even if it takes us a long time to get him to break the NDA, he's potentially a powerful weapon on the ENCOM front. Question is, do we want to reopen that front?
Rod The Builder: Doof seems to love him, and if we ever want to do any infrastructure work he'll probably be a big help. But we don't seem to have a severe gap in stewardship.

Dang it I can't chose between the three!
Assuming it would, we have construction projects: a dinosaur theme park. A race track for SPLIT/SECOND. An entire entertainment sector, if we choose to go down that route.
Heck yeah. Doofania will be the entertainment capitol of the Union!
Adam: We gave up on the ENCOM front, and QM is giving us an in. Complete with a big WARNING: TIME SENSITIVE sticker. YES.
Wait, where is that "TIME SENSITIVE" label?
 
Yes, but holy shit man there's a bit of a difference between some people from forty thousand years in the future being around, and a company from sixty five million years and at least one mass extinction event (that they caused) ago having survived everything.

Like, at that point you start asking whether or not people even noticed the thing was there the whole time!


Oh, good, ok. Not having Earl Sinclair around is probably for the best for us all.
we...we could accidentally end up CREATING wesayso, given our dino projects.
There we go Janna, trolling Satan himself. attagirl.

Ah, phrasing was odd. Ya said "Whoever wins the vote," after all, not "whoever's loses the vote." Also, I see your Glooms and raise you a for-once-valid-argument for Juniper.

Popular theory is a TeamUp trait we can use to great effect. Say...
Giving Technor a little boost on his National Action. (Oh, I just gave myself chills thinking about them going down for some Supervillany together~)
And Dance Magic would give us a left-field rocket to launch at Toffee. And prevent the mighty Witchy Music Fiasco from happening again.
 
THE LEGACY CARRIERS ARE TRANSMITTING NEW DATA.

Alan watches the lines of code cross his high-definition monitor. The information requires a degree of interpretation, but is otherwise stating the facts as they are. ENCOM was severely set back by the viral surge and their efforts to slow them down, but Master Control has already moved on to his next major operation.

Whatever "ENCOM Legacy" was, it was going to be something big.
There were several close calls. Old recognizers being repurposed to act as light scouts and skim the networks under the pretense of hunting viruses. Local outages where network access was cut or intermittent without immediate cause. ENCOM was coming closer to finding him.
You're right, Dorf, there's two TIME SENSITIVE stamps.
 
Here's the problem with the vote:
because some units are able to be Rolodex'd and some are time sensitive, this isn't a "pick 2 the other two disappear" it's "Pick 2 to guarantee and then ????"

Wasabi and Alan are the most time sensitive. Wasabi is incredibly high value, and Alan is being hunted.

Rodney is a free-agent. He makes bids for work. He does jobs, and came to us looking for a commission that might turn into a steady paycheck.

Unfortunately, this makes the other two options higher opportunity cost to not pick.

I think I feel obligated to not pick Rodney this round because the likelihood we can get all three is much better in this order than any other. Which is unfortunate imo
 
Yay, Janna succeeded! ...and of course she immediately commits identity theft in the Devil. Honestly, I don't know what I was expecting from her. At least this won't come back to bite us.

In other news, it appears that studying the Manual is a personal action for Janna. Looks like we have another possible thing for her to do.
 
I'm not going to lie. We've been joking about this for a while, but the thing that pushed this interlude into becoming canon was the best script direction ever written, namely "Cut to Satan, down in Hell"
 
Janna has too many personal actions. It's becoming a crisis. Interestingly, personal actions don't trigger Bored, so it looks like she should be a full-time personal action and questing hero.
 
Fusion is probably the best option we have to remove Technor's Power Hungry malus. Flubber is just no and I doubt uburnium will be economically feasible.

Flubber is the best option. We only have to campaign for it (probably with Xanatos' help). It's literally a 2 turns plan, while we know that it'll take more than that to get to the same point with Fusion Power.
