I watched Fireball Charming... and it's weird. It also takes place hundreds of years before Fireball, so it isn't the best information source to go off of for this.

Based off of what I know, I would describe the characters as Robots that think in a way that can be best described as adjacent to humans, somewhat close to a mix between Norm Prime and Princess CJ rather than something like Sinatron or a seed AI.

I'm guessing they might be vulnerable, but only if they do something stupid. Which they might because they don't have an actual understanding of humans.

So, I had a thought: We keep bitching about how we're always losing against everyone else, but Jumba, golden child that he is, just handed us the biggest win ticket in the game so far (well, second biggest. Biggest goes to Shego and Khan for revolutionizing scoence forever with miniaturized fusion energy):

Jumba can make superpowers. I'm sure it's capped right now for game-balance reasons, but we invest a few actions in that tech-tree and we can make superpowers commercially available. This is huge, just imagine the news:
"President Martinez has repealed the SRA, super-empowered people are now free to act! In other news, Heinz Doofenshmirtz announced that he has devised super-empowerment technology, so anyone can be a super!"

That's a win. It's cashing in on the check Syndrome promised but never came through on. It's a way to remove Evelyn Deavor's reason to hate supers (they make people become passive bystanders). It completely changes the shape of the entire game. Heck, with a careful Technor-devised "psychological fitness for super-villainy" evaluation before selling powers, Doof could single-handedly restore the Status Quo to what it was during the Golden Age of Heroics, simply by flooding the cape scene with people who believe in Glory Days villainy/heroism!

Possibly problem with that is those who won´t "Splice" for whatever reason (religous fundamentalism) will try to rally those who *can´t* Splice (too poor, physical/mental/neuronal incompatibilities with our "Super serum") against those who do for "endangering their way of life/base of existence".

Not saying that we shouldn´t do it, just that we sohuld prepare for political opposition to our "Vigors/Plasmids".

That's cool!

It's too bad that that seems to be worth more for fluff than metaknowledge.

I distinctly remember something along the lines of a Flying Brick being the most powerful possible metahuman, so real power, that we'll need against the likes of Toffee, Bill, and Phobos, is in the form of technology and the occult. It could definitely help against Alien Threats though, just look at comic books.

YES!

"The last thing you want is a nemesis that doesn't respect you or what you have. I once broke up with my old nemesis when a new one, Peter the Panda, came along...It started so well but then, as I was monologuing...he ignored me to disable my device without paying attention once to what i was saying. Sometimes, just being appreciated and validated is as precious as being able to steal the moon."

...Inb4 Disney (a subsidiary of DEI) releases a new series of superhero-themed *How to...* clips starring Goofy, paving the way for a new generation of proud heroes/heroines
 
sooo, our tech troubles continue and it really seems like the cybugs are the ones eating holes in our code.

Encom continues to completely dominate. DoofOS was our best wealth gathering thing, but if Alan fails again I'm willing to take him off those actions and onto the SHIVA laser. If you can't beat em, punch them in the face and take their stuff anyway. Pretty sure that's a saying
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The B Team. Neat.
also, we get even more shinies on the docket. Blegh. BLEGH

Genetic Diseases is the action we should take, but I'm very upsetti spaghetti that the QM's put "hey put a killswitch in it" into the narrative. That's spooky as shit.
Probably going to need to put Jumba on the "superpowers" train. Sorry dinosaurs. You have been dumped like Flubber.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

the "Don Karnage Loots yer Castle" thing sucks. He's in the employ of a certain tiger that we should be friendly with. No retribution there. Just like with Doom, another punk gets to poke us in the eye and run away. Gah.

how did that even happen? Why is Malf's castle flying to Doofania. Ugh. It's not like we had a choice or the ability to mitigate flying risks. That's the main problem, it's a completely 100% non interactable punishment to the players for not specifying that airborne travel is an unsafe means of translocation (unless you pay Shere Khan protection money). I don't like it. I don't even think it's a problem, it's the design of "and off the top rope DON KARNAGE" that bugs me. grmblgrmbl
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Microfusion cells are good. Collaboration with Shego where we slap Wasabi on the project to help miniaturize the containment (when he already has done a lot of work with Shere Khan style Fusion Reactors) seems like the sort of thing with a synergy bonus on it. So long as Wasabi isn't terrified of the Drakktech employees

Otherwise, we need to help Shego with the drug cartel that went to ground. The prophecy could theoretically be about "helping Shego with intrigue" so we might as well cover that base.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think we can safely kick:
Media
Dinosaurs
Flubber
Space
Energy
Food
investigating Wasteland
Doom

so we can focus on:
magic
multidimensional capabilities
AI
Digital/Cyber capabilities (DoofOS infrastructure)
Genetics (disease focus)
Defense
Alliances

Flexible on:
Drossel
Comedize Supply Lines
SanFransokyo
Kat
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

honestly, digital space is such a consistent shit show for us and such a constant crushing position of strength for ENCOM I'd just cede it completely if we didn't have Princess CJ and Alan. Princess CJ is precious and should not be allowed to come to harm, and Alan is. Well. Alan.

but honestly Alan needs to get his shit together or we should go SHIVA laser and pull the things we want out of the digital realm and then EMP the digital sea to a blank void. Did you know that a "small" nuclear device detonating high in the atmosphere over the center of the US would release an EMP that would fry all unprotected circuitry for the entire north american continent?
I was told the Cybugs are like virtual Tyranids. And you know how you deal with nids? Exterminatus baby.

...Now that you say it...

Why was the castle flying over SKs turf (off the West Coast) in the first place, when it was being transported from Eastern-ish Europe (which would make the shortest route lead over the *East Coast*, where we would have profited from indirect cover from Xanatos for a bit)?

That doesn´t seem to make any sense geographically.

I mean, was there any other way to transport the castle across the ocean and then a decent way inland in the US?

by ship, and train, and truck, and literally magic it's a magic castle you can make it walk or summon it directly or Ship of Theseus rebuild it in full at the destination why is it flying gah

to be honest. It flying makes sense as a fun interlude. It's just not good design to give the audience no agency by forcing it to be flying oh and also Don Karnage stole something from you pbbbbbttttt

Eh, on the economical end, I see absolutely no trouble. Supervillain Starter Loans should be a profitable business, what with all the bank-robbing they get up to.

Fold it into the starting Entertainment division we're starting. Split/Second is already in the Radical Sports scene, but what about Televised Cape Fights (on a deserted island with no property to destroy)? Superpowered Sports Leagues? Super Super-Stars?
 
Regarding the idea that Karnage works foe Shere Khan...looking back at Talespin, it really seems more to me that Karnage is an independent who just happens to work for Khan occasionally, as opposed to being a permanent "off the books" employee. It's entirely possible Karnage did this on his own, with no input from Khan.

Things DEI Employees Are No Longer Allowed to Do 3

    • Things DEI Employees Are No Longer Allowed to Do 3: I Should Probably Actually Put Effort Into Making Titles For This


    Or: in which Russ sees a bit too much of the things he doesn't want to think about.    ​

    Ver 5.1





    230. As we begin to move into December, a reminder that the Secret Santa Drawing will take place this Friday for all interested participants. To avoid any repeats of what happened last year, we advise all gift buyers to consider the implications of the presents they buy.

    230a. And we would also like to remind everyone that not everyone will take the same implications from your gifts as you do. We do not need a repeat of last year.

    230b. In response to multiple questions, setting up someone on a date is not considered a suitable or reasonable gift. Not even the Doctor.

    230bi. All Doctors in DEI are covered by the above terminology. This should not have to be explicitly said.

    230bii. Winning the office romance betting pool for someone else is also considered a lazy way to get a gift.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    231. As everyone has surely heard now that their ears have stopped ringing, quote "Ninja Magic is Real!!!!!". However, as a matter of safety, DEI would like to officially remind all employees that "Ninja Magic" should only be done by experts and professions, and in a supervised capacity.

    231a. Wearing a stereotypical ninja uniform does not automatically make one a ninja.

    231ai. The fact that there are, in fact, ninjas under our employ wearing those uniforms does not change 231a.

    231b. All employees should stop randomly pausing in the middle of the hallway and making hand signs and yelling out attack name. Not only does it not work (and that's not going into what could happen if it somehow did), it interrupts the work environment.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



    232. The welcome party for the new hire was appreciated. Asking Kitsune to prank him was not, especially since whoever asked her gave her a very broad scope in her choice of pranks.


    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    233. A package of unofficial merchandise for the rumored new San Fransokyo cape, "Agent Unknown" was dropped by the front door of the company building. Would Ollie Butler please pick up his package from Agent Russ? He'd also like to talk to you about not signing personal purchases to the building.


    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    234. Whoever wrote the … explicit fanfiction involving Doctor Doofenshmirtz, Shego, and Xanatos and left it in the middle of the hallway is requested for a talk with Goofy. Attendance is mandatory.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    235. Janna, come and clean up the summoning circle you made in the Doctor's office. Again. -(Russ)

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    236. For the time being, any and all posters of Fredzilla should be moved out of sight of commonly used walking spaces. Agent Russ has been staring broken at them every time he sees one.

    As we have been QMed before, a Bare Success is hardly anything major to our Spectacular. Stop whining.

    And we'll be less vicious than The Bank of Evil was to Grue and less prone to scalping our own clients. So I am down with that.

    Works for me, entertainment and stories are a great way to shape a culture and we can do a lot of go-"EVIL! We shall do EVIL!"- do a lot of 'evil' by doing what you are suggesting when we have the spare time and resources.

    I can only remember one time SK and Karnage explicitly (if covertly) worked together during the show - that time SK ordered Karnage to "plunder" his tanker planes to create an artificial petrol shortage and ridiculously inflate resulting prices. Other than that, the two apex predators had a rather...uneasy and ambivalent relationship.

    But even if the Pirates work for Khan Enterprises off the books as hired muscle in this quest, I don´t think that the assault on Castle Doofhawk was a *deliberate attack* from SK against us. In my mind at worst the tiger just got annoyed at the *honking huge, flying castle* crossing his airspace unannouncedly (probably accidentially disrupting his supply routes in the process) and asked/told/ordered Karnage to blow it outta the sky to be rid of a minor incidential eyesore.

    So yeah, no need to write a strongly-worded letter to SKs about him attacking us (since he probably doesn´t even know about Doofhawk belonging to us) - especially since it doesn´t look as if much harm was done, if any at all. So we just patch up Doofhawk, shrug and don´t (intend to) mention the incident to SK in case we get to talk to him again.
