If Russ wants to help pay them back after he escapes, they apparently make substantial use of recreational chemicals and DEI has some very talented chemists on payroll. Potentially expands into a new profit-making venture?
Well, we ARE a pharmacists, among other things (no really, Doofs trait "Omnidisciplinary" indicates that he has at least some knowledge about pharmaceuticals)...and if not Doof himself, then either Ludivine (as a supposed "expert in everything") or maybe TECHNOR (as a shrink, he might have some knowledge about therapy-supporting medications depending on his exact job description)
So, Russ is safe enough and currently having a training arc to get rid of that giant backdoor in his mental defenses Riddle left there (deliberately?), while the containment unit for the Dream Queen seems to be breaking down and friggin Bill might be corrupting the minds of little kids in order to twist the Dreaming to his liking...just great.
Any chances of either Monsters Inc. or Toy Story slowing down his progress down at least a bit? Heck, maybe even team up on that matter?
If this is Bill and we gain IC knowledge of him after Russ returns, we should tell David about it.
Yes, I can hear you groan about running to him first notice again already, but consider this: He already knows about Phobos and Toffee, who are both threats closest to Bill in sheer scale and he intended to get us up to speed if we hadn´t realized some of it on our own - meaning that he has a good chance about at least having suspicions about Oregon as well and if he doesn´t, he needs to because with his giant Intrigue and Occult powerbase as well as "ties" to (read: "influence in") the US government, he is our best chance at getting anything resembling a proper resistance and eventually the CotSR (Council of the Semi-Reasonable) going.
We won´t be able to last against threats that big on our lonesome, guys - we *need* that multi-King alliance for *simple self-preservation*, if nothing else.
