Also, guys. If we want to have Sycorax to help us fully on Genetic Diseases we'll have to do something like the below. We have to spend a Diplomacy action for every individual action they boost.
Edit: Nevermind that actually. It's not fusion in that we have to take it multiple times, I think? We'd be unlocking other genetic disease actions that we would have to do to get any of the other diseases fixed.
I was thinking, how do people feel on doing Diecast Robotics along with Olympia? It's an action that would benefit us both, is high enough DC that it's not a waste of time, and shows to Olympia that we can bring new and interesting things to the table.
Right now, they just want to appease us so that we'll help on the SRA, but I'd like to ally in the more long term view.

Devtech originally made telecommunications, and as inheritors of Kronos they of course also master a wide variety of robotics. A collaboration in those areas would be fruitful.
I would say depending of how the DC are showed, I don't see SRA stuff on our turn and during a colab we basically put and extra hero on the action. The first colab might be necesarry to see what we are working with number wise
Indeed, but I think Diecast is better anyways, to be honest. It's a good action which helps us both, and is an avenue which they don't necessarily have access to anyways, so it'll make us look good.
I wonder if this LM stuff will cause Doof to self reflect a bit, from being on the opposite / outside of an insanely petty and pathetic mad science scheme.
From that, in addition to the Mark Beaks stuff, I think next turn is the perfect time for Technor to psychoanalyze Doof again, now that he has gone through some stuff to challenge his world view.
And maybe having Doof chat with Malf if the psychoanalysis goes well.
The turn after next, if Hego failed his personal, maybe have Technor help him.

So, I've been thinking on what we do for the next turn. We have a few options, and these are what I've got, just for now. A lot will probably change based on the results of interludes and quests.
Yeah, those Diecast Robots are probably WALL-E Units or something similar...so it might synergize rather well with our Greevil Angle (heck, we could theoretically at least incorporate their highly-efficient garbage compactor tech for our improved garbage bins as well)
It was another ordinary day in the city of Harrisburg Pennsylvania, the sun was shining, the birds were chirping, a group of criminals hopped up on superpower granting drugs were robbing a bank...
Well I suppose that last one isn't so normal. The thugs were quite literally tearing the bank apart to get every last scrap of money they could, a teller could be seen hiding in the back, doing her best not to get seen by the robbers. Unfortunately for her it was for nothing, and one of the thugs noticed her as they were preparing to leave.
"Nice, cops won't dare try and stop us if we have you." One of them says and he begins walking towards the terrified woman. "Now come here girlie, I promise I won't hurt you... much."
As they grew closer they were stopped by a strange noise from outside, it didn't sound like sirens... more like... buzzing...
"Go check that out." The leader says as he lodes up another bag. "We don't want any surpri-"
The front door is suddenly blasted open.
"WHAT'S THIS? A group of ne'er do wells assaulting one of our fine capitalistic establishments?" They hear a man shout from the door. "A large influx of BEES outta put a stop to that!"
As he says that a large swarm of bees suddenly fill the bank to attack the robbers, most of them jump back and begin to use their various drug-granted powers to defend themselves from the bees, and the figure responsible for them enters the building fully. He's wearing a ridiculous costume, and is that one of the beehive boxes around his waist?
"Who the hell is this guy?" One of the thugs said as he avoided getting stung again. "Who cares! Let's just kill him and get out! We can handle this!"
"Once your average everyday Melittologist, I was experimented upon by an alien scientist to unlock my hidden potential!" The man shouted as more bees swarmed the building. "I gained the ability to telepathically communicate with and control the bees I so adored! Now I am..."
The swarm surrounded him and rush forward directly at the robbers.
"DR. BEES!"
The swarm was too large for them to hold back, and some of them began to succumb to the stings as the teller took her chance and ran.
"There's to many of them!"
"No! I'm allergic!"
"The situation has been made worse by the addition of yet more bees!"
As the leader realized it was hopeless he made his decision, he grabbed a one of the bags of money and made a run for it. He ignored the stings as the dashed through the cloud of bees and towards one of the holes in the wall so he could escape to the parking lot. The getaway driver was waiting for him and took off as soon as they were both inside.
"WHAT'S THIS?" Dr. Bees shouted as he saw the car driving away. "Think they can escape the sticky honeycomb of justice do they?"
"What happened in there?" The driver yelled as they rounded the corner. "Where are the others?"
"Cape got the drop on us, the others didn't make it." The leader said as he caught his breath. "At least we got the money."
"You got the bags?"
"Ya I got the- wait..." The leader said as he noticed something. "Where did this come from?"
"My briefcase full of Bees outta put a stop to that!"
"Oh god more bees!" The leader shouted as the briefcase opened. "Stay on the road!"
"I'm trying! But the Bees!" The driver shouted as he began to loose control. "My eyes! The bees! They're in my eyes!"
The getaway vehicle crashed into a pole, ending the entire situation before the cops could even show up.
"Let this be a lesson cretins!" Dr. Bees shouted as he recalled his bees. "Winners never do drugs!"
As son as he said that he heard an explosion from another part of the city.
"Looks like more people need my help, it seems as tho work is never done for..."
"DR. BEES!"
I've wanted to make this ever since I realized what the B-Series was, and if the didn't understand where I got the idea you can look at this video.
It's still weird that Doof has gone so long without even poking other Kings, with the exception of the Sands Gala, and all of a sudden he reaches out to us and the next turn he's working with Sycorax and wants us to collab with him over whatever the hell it was.
At least Doofania isn't as much of an Intrigue black hole anymore.
I mean, hell, look at the action. Isn't it suspicious that the stats just happen to line up with Mirage?
This turn was honestly pretty great... But seriously, can we just scrap DoofOS and start from scratch? I know setting Alan on the Shiva thing and then sending Khan in to "debug" might finally work, but. Haaaaah.
At this point this is a huge action sink that could be better spent on a lot of other stuff? We keep accumulating failures and going back to try again.
