We should prob have our daughter do some school actions and such
Yeah I'm thinking Ludvine tutors her and she takes her study action.
She lost her study action and now has a "Take the SATs" action, which I think we should probably do along with tutoring from ludvine if we want to get absent minded out of the crit-happy turn.

[] Watch the Eggheads
Plus side of being daughter of the CEO means you get to see all kinds of restricted things. In this case, it means you're allowed to bring popcorn to the prototype testing sessions DEI is constantly running. It's always fun watching things explode, on purpose or otherwise. Who says science can't be interesting?

[ ] Job shadow Mirage
Dad suggested that you study under his secretary to see how good she is at all of her managerial duties. It sounds pretty boring to you, but who knows? Maybe you can make something out of it.

[] Take the SAT
You are going to college next year, after all. You're going to have to do this anyways, may as well get it over with now.
 
Okay so I usually make my first post after the update a "clever" little quip so please pay attention to the fact that I am not here.

'Twelth Night' is the wrong choice. The Interlude is happening either before our next turn or directly afterwards; therefore, any information we get on it will not be actionable. If it weren't for the Probabilit-inator, maybe, but...we're locked into our choices, as-is.
An In universe warning that shit is going to go down Now should lead to us being able to pivot and send some back up even if it's not as much as we might like. The 12 nights are at the tail end of this turn we should have people free enough to help out in an emergency
 
The DEI one could be REALLY helpful right now. We have like four things coming to smack us fairly soon.

Kat, phantom blot, dream queen, and masquerade breaking.

All we know in character is dream queen exists with 22-26 being somehow significant and we need to learn a male heros (most likely Goofy or Russ) secret before she shows up or we lose them forever.

Phantom Blot is coming here and that's it.

Literally nothing about Kat.

And that the masquerade might be breaking soon.

More info on any of these could be game changing.

That depends. It doesn't seem especially unlikely that it's a multi-turn event, and even stuff we don't get to vote on can be used by the characters themselves.
 
[ ] 'Twelfth Night'
It Concerns Star. The sooner we get Star the sooner we can Occult heroball.

[ ] Something about Tom himself
Maybe this will get us closer to his goals? My thought was "Ask how Tom can best Attain his goal?"

'Recruit at SFIT' personal action unlocked for Mirage
YES. YES. We're Putting her on this next turn.

Huh. Vanessa gets a +10? for a Year?
...
Granville must have godly stewardship. I want her.
 
Mirage being the sane woman of our merry band of misfits brings me great joy. And she unlocked a recruitment personal action! One with no downsides unlike the rolodex one.

Hopefully Vanessa can get her shit together while she has that personal bonus. Taking the SATs would be a good start.

Asking about Twelfth Night is going to be unanimous. I would prefer for Tom to ask about himself. Like, just maybe, if he should find some True Love of his own~.

Does anyone have a comprehensive list of our Military assets.

If DEI rides in to the rescue with our Dinosaur Cavalry we'll be legends. The only remaining question is if Doofs armour is an Iron Man suit?

That's... actually a good point. I guess DEI is the way to go, then.
Yeah I'm thinking Ludvine tutors her and she takes her study action.
That's what I was thinking to! Sweet, more than one person is on the same page as me!
"I understand the sentiment." Mirage replied.
Awwww, they're bonding. That's sweet.
"Yes." She said, taking a long drink from her thermos. "All over now."
Mirage has the barest hint of an inkling that something strange is going on at Bakaemono!
YOKAI ALERT! YOKAI ALERT! YOKAI ALERT! YOKAI ALERT!
Contact with the Zaibatzu has been established!

Research Agreements with the Zaibatzu unlocked! Bakaemono focuses on cutting edge electronics and robotics, Funtelligence focuses on AI, and Sycorax focuses on genetics!

Establish Bakaemono Supply Chain action unlocked!
Awwwwwwwwwwesoooooooooooooome~!
The Zaibatzu are not currently united enough to meaningfully collaborate on non-tech or business related subjects!
Ah, stupid petty CEOs. They can never cooperate (yes, I am aware of the irony of this statement).
'Recruit at SFIT' personal action unlocked for Mirage! We didn't expect her to be the recruitment queen, it just sort of happened!

Vanessa has been given some tough love motivation to work harder from SFIT's premier educator Grace Granville! She has a +10 to personal actions until the end of September/October 2017!
HA! Funny, yet awesome! I only see upsides here!

Also, I just realized something:
Few could forget the dramatic events several years ago that led to the company's restructuring. Cut corners and building code violations piled up into total collapse, burying Alastair Krei in his office and leaving one of the largest companies on the West Coast rudderless. Without Krei present to run damage control, shares plummeted and investors fled. The company was bought out, reorganized, and renamed in the span of a few months. The sheer scale of the conglomerate, coupled with its importance to dozens of electronics and hardware concerns, kept it alive, but when the ash settled it had become utterly divorced from its founder's vision. It wouldn't be the first time a founder was betrayed by his legacy.
In Big Hero 6, Callaghan destroyed the KreiTech campus with the Silent Sparrow portal... in a very public fashion. However, this implies that he simply used Hiro's microbots to make the building collapse in on itself. Or, even more of a plot twist, he wasn't even involved. Krei's tendency to cut corners is what legit got him killed. Callaghan was just there to sweep up the remnants of his legacy and twist it into something unrecognizable just to spite the man. In any case, the events of Akuma Island went very differently it seems; Honey Lemon did something that earned her the name "Friend Slayer", Baymax and the Silent Sparrow portal may have been destroyed, and Big Hero 6 was scattered. Makes you wonder what went down...
 
If DEI rides in to the rescue with our Dinosaur Cavalry we'll be legends. The only remaining question is if Doofs armour is an Iron Man suit?
It certainly isn't described as being very compact. but it does seem heavily integrated, probably akin to the Mark I built in the cave with a box of inators rather than the most well known Mark 7.
[ ] Build a personal suit of power armor (Ludivine von Drake)
DC 95 (Reduced by XP)
77+20+15+20+3=135
Decent Success

Ludivine was a great help with designing your power armor. Definitely the best choice. She knew exactly how to work your own personal style into a suit that was also, you know, good at keeping you alive in a pitched battle. She even helped you integrate a few inators (which you're desperately hoping won't explode) and all sorts of built-in extra features like cupholders and a miniature coffee machine! Sure, it doesn't look exactly like you were planning, but it's still pretty impressive regardless.

Any enemy Martial actions made against Doofenshmirtz directly will be made at a -5 penalty!

Option to outfit troops with power armor unlocked!

Doof gains a +5 to direct combat against enemies on quests!
This only applies on quests if an enemy is directly targeting Doofenshmirtz! It will not apply every time that Doof applies his Martial to the quest roll!

Here's the thing. This can give us STATIC BONUSES to the Interlude, which could be pretty darn useful.
 
Mirage is still best. It's been true since the soap opera interlude of hers. People have been saying we leave the company to a bunch of different people, but I think that's only possible because Mirage is so good at what she does. Seriously. She's the second in command. Duno if she's fit to be King material, but number 2 to a King she just. Handles things.

Goddam. Champ <3

Vanessa thought the secretary shadowing was boring? That's fine. We suggested it because she, you know, doesn't express much interest in anything but socializing? Seems like she's a relatively unambitious or in-denial "normal" teen. We can't really make her take this stuff seriously, but at the same time her very typical attitude does uh. It does not do good things in darker places and times.

She's going to need to figure herself out. Janna has her schtick. Max seems to be digging the Russ life. Will Vanessa also like the Agent Action? Will she straighten out and decide to learn how to be a diplo darling like Mirage? Will she follow in mad science like dear-ol dad? Or will working out with TEMUJIN awaken a fighting spirit in her?

Who knows! The only thing I know is that she is going to need power armor in case of assassins. And also there's a risk she's gonna be left behind if she chooses nothing.

It might also change what info we get from the interlude, whether that be a hidden plot we might have missed, or an insight into a mind, having context for events is probably not a bad choice.

...okay, fair, hadn't considered that. Good point.

Mmmm still leaning towards Tom and DEI. Getting Tom's loyalty up can only be helpful, and knowing a touch of our company's future will be great in the long term, if we can divine the truth hidden in the tarot. However, I think I could be persuaded on this one?
 
Since you've made contact with the Zaibatsu, I'll go ahead and repost some content from the Fortune 005 doc to give you the short version of what you're dealing with. This info is readily available on the DVV Google Drive, but not all of it is being used in DoofQuest.

Bakaemono Corporation

Once a leading tech company nestled in San Fransokyo's enclave of superscience, Krei Tech has fallen far since its prime. It seems somebody at the company really PO'd the Japanese underworld, because after the 'disappearance' of its CEO, they've been muscled out of the state by the other Zaibatsu and Yakuza working in tandem. Today, they serve a niche but vital economic role as an affiliate of Kronos Corp, subsisting off of commissions for projects the megacorp considers too risky to perform in its own labs.

Its vast former holdings in San Fransokyo have been reorganized by unknown investors into the Bakaemono Corporation, headed by former Kreitech associate Judy Silverman. The newly reorganized technology firm is rapidly regaining the status of its predecessor through a combination of Judy's administrative prowess and rumored connections to the underworld as strong as Krei Tech's were weak. Bakaemono often acts with seemingly prescient knowledge of underworld threats or competing firms, leading many to believe it is giving- or receiving- marching orders from elsewhere.

Sycorax

Founded by genius biologist Liv Amara, Sycorax dominates the 'wetware' market of San Fransokyo with a progress at all costs mentality. As one of the largest Zaibatsu in the city, Sycorax has somehow still managed to maintain a sterling public image. Compared to the rumored Yakuza connections of Bakaemono Corp, the slimy reputation of competitor Gen-U-Tech, or the universally derided business practices of Funtelligence, Sycorax has a perfect record. Its employees report universal satisfaction. Its gene-therapies, biometric scanners, and genetically modified animals have near-universal acclaim for the good they have done across San Fransokyo and the nation. If Liv Amara does have any unsavory relations, or anything else to hide, she must bury it deep indeed.

Funtelligence

Based on the name and branding, one might expect the brainchild of SFIT grad Trevor Tengrove to be a maker of children's toys. And while the Little Professor product line is indeed profitable, it is not what launched Funtelligence to worldwide fame. This absurd sounding corporation is hailed across the globe for ushering in the modern age of artificial intelligence.

It was in Tengrove's final year at SFIT that he wrote the thesis that would revolutionize robotics. The Funtelligence system (referred to as the Positronic Brain by those with a shred of self-respect) uses artificial electron pathways to mimic a human brain. While not truly sentient, robots based upon the Funtelligence system are capable of analysis, deduction, and reaction to novel stimuli, within the bounds of their programming.

Since that day, Tengrove has presided over the revolution that took San Fransokyo by storm. Bot Fighting, Buddy Bots, even popular mascot Noodle Burger Boy, all of these and more are based on Tengrove tech. Every major robotics firm on the West Coast licences the Funtelligence system for their smart bots.

Tengrove himself has proved a marketing genius, managing to parlay Funtelligence and a regular supply of new innovations into countless product lines and marketing deals, buoyed by his regular public appearances and support of his alma mater. Despite this, the company has had problems over the years. Tengrove designed the branding of the firm to allay fears of artificial intelligence that initially plagued his company, but now that soft AI is firmly established, many corporate customers are seeking a more professional, less… smiley alternative to Funtelligence's kid-friendly marketing. Worse, Tengrove himself has been dogged by accusations of intellectual property theft from employees and SFIT grads, though nothing has yet come of these allegations.

Not true! If we recruit Karmi from SFIT, Hiro might be too embarrassed by the shipping fanfic she writes about him to work here, thus preventing us from making a BH6 Heroball.

(This is not a serious concern, he wasn't that embarrased about it even when he was attending class with her and it's unlikely she has her canonical crush on Captain Cutie without him saving her.)

Given that he was made with FUNtelligence technology rather than his canonical KreiTech military hardware, does that mean Noodle Burger Boy is no longer a death machine?
 
Ah so Judy is that character name. Funny enough when I was watching Big Hero 6 the first time I thought that Judy was the villain, because they showed them in all the right places that it could have been them.

And Vanessa gets what she needed, a boost in her rolls. It was bad rolls that have been hurting how useful she is. When she gets good rolls she can get results.

It turns out the power of love has nothing on the power of Professor Granville.

Poor Judy. Not even the readers remember her name.
 
We should ask about the future of tom's kingdom; it'll give us valuable info and can potentially boost his loyalty
