Drakktech (1)
[ ] Release microfusion cells
DC 150
71+24+28+36+30(???)=189
Spectacular Success
Ongoing collaborations with Khan Industries have resulted in the creation of the Microfusion cell, a revolutionary energy storage device that uses a miniaturized and reversible fusion process to store immense amounts of energy in devices as small as a vehicle engine. The devices promise to massively simplify energy chains, making both fusion power and renewables more practical as well as providing near-limitless backup power once installed. Industry experts are describing the new tech as nothing short of miraculous, with many speculating how Shego and the Tiger of Cape Suzette managed such an incredible technological leap. Drakktech has expressed hope the devices can be miniaturized further.

Respectable Success
After months of meetings with the FERC, Khan Industries has taken multiple contracts to build their new revolutionary power plants near major metropolitan areas. Several major cities have taken the offer, greatly reducing their need for fossil fuel or other sources of power… as well as greatly increasing profits for Khan himself.
Richard Martinez (1)
[ ] Run for president
DC ???
85+36+25+40 (Xanatos Backing)+30 (SRA stance popularity)=216
Outstanding Success
The presidential elections wrapped up this year with Richard Martinez taking the lead by a comfortable margin, having secured quite a lot of votes due to his stance on the hottest issue of the season- the Superhero Relocation Act. Martinez has promised to repeal the act as soon as he is able and implement a far more moderate program in its place, offering funding to government-sponsored heroes once again as well as schooling for up and coming heroes. With the honeymoon period in full swing and public opinion in his favor, it seems likely his plans will come to fruition.
ENCOM (2)
[ ] Release AI assistants
DC 120
100+56+58+34+8+15 (???)=271
Unprecedented Critical Success
ENCOM made international headlines with their successful release of their new AI assistant utilizing patented Personal Applied Technology able to predict consumer needs with unerring accuracy. Known as 'Pat', the technology was originally designed to be utilized in smart houses, but the digital assistant is versatile enough to be used on personal computers across the country. While the AI is not able to pass the Turing test, numerous reports indicate that it is very close, and can even hold a reasonable conversation with a user. Bakaemono Corp has offered their congratulations and expressed public interest in collaboration on projects in the future.
Chief Cleaver (3)
[ ] Investigate the death of Alonso Hawk
DC ???
72+28+24+4=128
Great Success
The discovery of Alonso Hawk, noted land magnate, dead on Franklin Avenue has sent shockwaves throughout Southern California. Recently promoted Chief Cleaver launched an investigation into the death of Alonso Hawk and, after several weeks of intense police work, came up with a conclusion he is absolutely certain of. The murder was done by a toon! The method of death was simply too absurd for anyone else to have accomplished it. After some more investigation into who was near the Hollywood Hotel at the time of death, the chief realized something rather unfortunate. Only one figure had both the motive to attack the known ally of Mayor Doom and the means with which to commit it. A sample of hair was found at the scene, there is no alibi, and the truth is clear. The perpetrator was none other than ex-chief Bonkers Bobcat! Having checked the evidence multiple times, this is something of which Cleaver was certain!
You however… have doubts.

Judge Doom (3)
[ ] Establish Indestructible Inc.
DC 120
1d100+36+27+4+20 (Cloverleaf Backing)=143
Decent Success
Judge Doom, utilizing a portion of Cloverleaf's pre-existing public works infrastructure, has established an organization dedicated to damage control and cleaning up after metahuman fights, in the interest of taking financial burdens off of superheroes. While the gesture is expected to cut into his bottom line, it has also engendered a good deal of respect from the metahuman community and its supporters. Doom said in a prepared and archetypically creepy press conference that "It pains me that the fickle Dr. Doofenshmirtz couldn't find it in his heart to assist in a charitable endeavor such as this. Alas, it seems as if the superhero community has moved… outside of his interests."
Bakaemono Corp (1)
[ ] Diversify Overseas
DC 120

Spectacular Success
Bakaemono has taken efforts to increase the sphere of influence of the Zaibatsu overseas, bringing in companies such as Yao Federated from Hong Kong and Bushido Dynamics in Japan into the fold. Pacific shipping is predicted to increase over the coming months as new supply lines are established and major electronics providers align product lines.
SF Rumor Mill (4)
[ ] Sokyo Capes Attacked by 'Monsters'
DC N/A
Your newly established reports from San Fransokyo have it that recent months have seen an increasing number of attacks by what survivors have described as 'monsters' ranging from flying bat-creatures to some sort of electric snake. A handful of disappearances are presumed related. The 'monsters' seem to target only Capes, but what if any pattern exists beyond that is unclear. This isn't very relevant to you right now, but if you wish to have more to do with California at a later date, this seems like something you'd want to look into.

Great Success
DoofOS has been acting up again, with users reporting glitches left and right as well as corrupted, if not outright missing, files. The incident has led to a small, but still noticeable, migration of users from DoofOS back to other systems. You're either going to need to patch whatever these holes are or find some other solution quick, unless you want people abandoning your system in droves. Maybe you could get your AI to do it?
