We learned that someone hired the pirate and is actively waiting for someone to come searching for the codes. That's far from near worthless, I don't get why you say it is.

Doesn´t mean anything...he can still pull strings laying around elsewhere
I'm going to add onto this, who ever did this couldn't have expected that Doof would poke the Laser Pirate for the codes over a year later, and did not seem all that tied to the time frame given it's a year later and the plan does not seem to have been abandoned. Furthermore, said benefactor seems to be doing something either in Cleveland or Doofania.
What ever goal this person has is extremely flexible and has the resources to spare on a seemingly pointless venture like this.

[X] Send Norm to retrieve the codes, have Wendy go with him?
Considering that there was no moratorium stated and the wording it seems that we have the option to do a write-in action (category probably decided by the write-in) to continue this investigation next turn (or whenever up to QM discretion)

The Phantom Blot being in Doofania doesn't preclude him doing stuff through shell companies elsewhere. And before he was in Doofania he was in California, and that's exactly where he'd be in a good position to intrigue against ENCOM.
That's a fair point. On the other hand, deliberately following up chains of events instead of just leaving them on the table may be a way to focus in on things. Going after an active enemy should probably come first, I agree, but leaving money on the table, literally or metaphorically, often causes more problems than it solves.
Because it does not get us any closer to any of our current goals. Instead it just opens up yet another project to split our attention and gives us yet another potential enemy.

An potential enemy who was already there and we knew nothing about, actionable intel is not worthless.

Good point...another reason to just say"fuck you" and simply reverse-engineer the Digitizer Codes ourselves
Would be a huge middle finger towards anyone trying to bait us there.
Easy solution:
*Don´t follow that lead at all and just recreate those codes ourselves*

I think we should investigate the corporate side of things. Something like the below write in. I mentioned this in the Discord, but I figured that Mirage would give two options. That the food part was a cover for their real actions, or that Emerald Solanaceae was being used as a catspaw by another person.
I haven't figured out a pun for the first option though. >_>
Corporate Comestibles
DC ???
When you inspected Norm's audio banks after he extracted info from the Laser Pirate and learned that he had been hired by a food firm in the Wasteland of all places, you were confused. It is extremely energy inefficient to use the digitizer in any way that they could! Mirage, when asked, suggested that it was a shell company- which apparently isn't related to how back in Drusselstein you would break shells to prevent witches from making storms.

Maybe I could be convinced to *investigate* that shell, but actually *fighting with them over the codes*? No thanks
I think we should at least take Intrigue actions to investigate the building and the company. There is someone doing something with ENCOM, and they might be doing something about us as well.
Either that or they're doing something about Cleveland. I mean, Cleveland isn't Detroit, but it's still Cleveland.

Again, *scouting* I might be okay with (depending on what else we got on our plates for the near future), but I am against actually taking that bait for several reasons.
Problem with that is, that Artemis only "joined the game" relatively recently and I am pretty sure that we bought the Shiva Laser before that...so things don´t really line up.
Speaking personally, some of the background detail line up as potentially being Artemis, but the dialogue is bugging me because it doesn't feel like the words he'd use.
Would Artemis have subsidiaries in Cleveland?

I don't know much about hie enemies but could it be one of them pretending to be him and using him as a cover to do business?

Most of his enemies aren't human, and don't exactly like dealing with humans.

The company name is Emerald Solanaceae, potatoes are a part of the Solanaceae family, Ireland is called the Emerald Isle. This is exactly the kind of name Artemis loves to come up with.

We're pretty close to out of money, so hiring detectives for something like this may be a bad idea.
Don't forget about the repair bill for the katastrophic and get our defense back online.
