Is this.... a Slugterra Reference?"OW! Who'd be crazy enough to use invertebrates as live ammo!?"
Due to company policy, all employee lairs must have a jingle containing the word "Evil" on it supernaturally installed (Yes, even Hego's, though there is nothing in the bylines forbidding him from adding "-Fighting" immediately afterwards).Honestly we really could use some more sub lairs for our various department heads we have the king of lairs on payroll it would be a shame not to build a bunch of lairs

The appropriate Evil Jingle guidelines and referral to the jingle-recording group have already been sent to Roddy Blair's office.
Well, we seem to have the first two letters:
Unfortunately, my brain keeps interpreting this as the start of Qui-Gon Jinn, which seems highly unlikely."Oh, his name's Qu-" Dennis paused as they walked through the doors. "Heeey. This isn't the airport I usually fly in to."
Well, kinda:I agree Janna needs a Dark Lair Of Fell Sorcery however. Anyone know her aesthetic tastes?
We may want to reign in some of her ideas on aesthetics.Known Preferences
Wanna See a Dead Possum?: Janna likes strange, macabre, occult, or unusual things.
Clearly the solution to this is to start with a lair for TECHNOR, which would naturally double as a highly efficient power plant, and possibly act as a source of revenue. Or get rid of his Power Hungry malus. Or both.I'd hold back on just tossing out lairs.
They cost money and we may have just lost a big chunk of our yearly income.
Quack von Finn perhaps?Well, we seem to have the first two letters:

Tobe and his ninja-squad are edging into actually becoming a powerhouse unit. With an effective martial of 27 and intrigue of 32 (before loyalty), Tobe actually gets a sit on the big boys table now.
And that's not to mention that he still has A) a Ninja Cookbook to improve his Occult, and due to trait his Martial and Intrigue; B) A mentor specialist on Martial-Intrigue-Occult to learn from; and C) he hasn't even found his nemesis yet! They have so much potential yet to tap into!
I truly never expected that I'd play a quest where Technor and Tobe were some of my fsvorite characters, but I guess when you play as Perpetual Underdog Heinz Doofenshmirtz, you get a new appreciation for the scorned Evil Nemeses everywhere.
I imagine he would be the one in charge of our stewardship divisionSo, who's hoping that getting Roddy his own lair leads to some sort of enlightenment and powers-up his lair-making? Like giving Santa Clause a present on Christmas? I mean, we probably can't until he's on permanent retainer, but it could be amazing.

Like this. Grouping lairs together encourages this, and we don't want to do that. Let her have her fun.
Fair enough, I guess. I just can't quite shake this feeling of impending doom that the idea of giving Janna her own lair gives me.We absolutely do not wanna do that. It's her lair! Not ours. A lair is a place to kick back, relax, plan, and brood! It's all about over the top aesthetics! A facility beilt into a volcano shaped like a skull, a giant cave with perilous pitfalls full of bats and trophies from defeated foes, a giant crystal zoo in the arctic, an abandoned amusement park made into a murder shack, a cabin in the woods filled with displays meant to part tourists from their money as efficiently as possible with a secret steampunk science facility beneath it. Lairs are all about aesthetics. Sense, and everything else, comes later!
Janna's lair would need to be lit by a giant floating skull with teal flames for eyes that doubles as a sound system and that Felldrake can possess and use to talk. It would have a remote that Janna could use to override his speech with cool music. It would have freaky tomes everywhere, a guillotine, and strange oddities, and a really really really comfy beanbag chair.
I was mostly joking, though if it did remove the malus, I expect that would be because TECHNOR'S base fixed our power problems. I expect that different character's bases would give different bonuses, in addition to the loyalty, probably based on their personality, traits, backstory, architectural preferences, etc. Castle Doofhawk let use use Maleficmirtz as a hero unit, and that's basically his lair.That's a big assumption. As far as we know, the only really confirmed boost is to loyalty. We might get some miscellaneous boosts, but removing TECHNOR's Power hungry malus without fixing our power problem seems unlikely.

Jumba has an entire UFO full of science equipment. His lair is fully in order.

Jesus fucking Christ Tobe what the goddamn shit is this.
Why are your rolls consistently fucking fire.
You've gained the Power of Love, the power of honest to god Ninja Magic, some additional magic, and now you even have a new teacher. All in like four or five turns.
Jumba doesn't really need much more either - this is the man who once set up on a Mustafar Hell Mode planet because the rent was cheap, I doubt he needs all that much.

But I'm not sure about grouping lairs together like that. For one thing, our heroes don't always have only one stat that we use them for, and for another it'll undercut the point of a lair.

Tobe is now our seniormost Intrigue Unit (Russ doesn't count, he's an enemy spy), which greatly amuses me. In fact, the image of the Council of Directors of DEI being a bunch of quirky madmen who are undeniably geniuses at their respective fields greatly amuses me.
Not to the point of making him our spymaster, since he will still withhold classified information from us if we don't know it already. Mirage deserves either the Stewardship or Intrigue leader spot, since she's already doing both of those jobs.Anyways I think we are well past that point of considering Russ an enemy spy. At this point I think we can consider him one of us. And we can kind of trust him at this point
I wouldn't say an enemy spy, we aren't trying to be enemies with the U.S. government, just their equal. He's a foreign agent at worst.Tobe is now our seniormost Intrigue Unit (Russ doesn't count, he's an enemy spy), which greatly amuses me.

So, Castle Heterodine reincarnated as a yurt?
Wait... if we do give them a layer, would that mean they are Stable Housing Ninja?Tobe and the Vagabond Ninja: Tobe and his crew occasionally enter brief but furious rivalry with someone chosen at random. In terms of actually contributing to society, they rarely if ever do anything productive. They're not called the Stable Housing Ninja, after all.
Well this makes me happy. Our gumbo will be grand and our pineapples magically delicious!
Not happening. Randy Cunningham was explicitly retconned out because the QM hadn't ever seen it. McFist used to be a company we could buy out before said setting was retconned out. Also, I thought we had already identified Dennis's teacher back when he first appeared?Based on Fire powers, energy bombs and inner darkness I'm getting Randy cunningham 9th grade ninja vibes from Dennis's teacher.

Marco rolled his eyes, turned around, and walked out the front door.
"Okay, I'm waiting outside."
