Let us keep in mind that we're almost at the Plot of Incredibles 2. Only instead of Elastigirl, we probably just sent Hego into her place. Which means we're about to hit a crisis again, and it's gonna be a Mind-Control related one.
Given the nature of DVV, I don't think Evelyn would just carry out that same plan of trying to mind-control civilians and capes. That would be stupid and self-destructive in a scenario like Gridlocked, where there are a LOT of people willing and able to take her down if she tried that same plan.

It's a lot more likely that her plan is something a bit more subtle, like using Hego and his similarities to Mr. Incredible to undermine rhe credibility of superheroes, with Hego just being too stupid to realize he's being used.

I realize it's unlikely to win, but I really want to work on exotic vehicles, because I'm still mad about Doom profiting off our lobbying. Plus, if we're cutting into his profits, it may make it easier to do a hostile takeover of his company in the future. But I guarantee that we WON'T end up doing a hostile takeover unless we lay some groundwork.
Yeah, we do have a mistery box to finish there, and a warning from QM that one of our dangling plot threads will vanish if we don't take them soon. No idea if those two are connected at all, but it leaves me antsy

The current idea for the the thing that will vanish is the Buy out a rival corporation (most probably Hopper Food Group) last turn there was a comment that the action in question had its text changed and the Buy out action had a small text change warning that others companies might buy them out if we wait to long.
 
Next turn, if possible, I'd like to do Janus on Exotic Vehicles and Jumba on Gal-Fed drives. I seem to recall a GM note about the two actions synergizing together incredibly well. And having those two on it would just be the icing on the cake.

That is most likely my preferred option for what to do next turn for our learning actions. And if their experimenting this turn goes well, would potentially mark the third turn where they end up working well together (assuming the two actions would become one interlude if done together due to how they synergize).
 
Just-Get-It-Over-With-Inator (neutral): You know how sometimes you have a deadline or an appointment coming up and it just sort of looms over everything, and you can't wait for it to just be over ready so you can think about other things? I really hate that feeling, so BEHOLD, THE JUST-GET-IT-OVER-WITH-INATOR!
A random future event has its timeline advanced by 1d4 turns.

Put-It-Off-Inator (neutral): You know how sometimes you have a deadline or an appointment coming up and it just sort of looms over everything, and you just want to put it off so that you can focus on other things?
A random future event is delayed by 1d4 turns.

Eh, maybe, maybe not. I doubt it will be the same, especially since Hego is sure to be a much better pawn than Helen was, but having an on-call villain is too useful not to use. Besides, even in the movie, Evelyn was actually prepared for "Screenslaver" to get caught. If anything, I think a frame might be more effective in this setting.

Really? You didn't go for the Procrast-inator, or something like that? Shame.

You were shocked when Alan Bradley told you that he had no idea where to even start with these things, and he didn't want to take any risks that involved disassembling people. You made all natural and normal arguments about starting with apples, ants, telemarketers, and other things nobody really cares about, but Alan adamantly refused to help you unlock the secrets of digitization. How dare he! You gave the man a good reaming out for daring to question his employer, which he stood there and took for about forty seven minutes without speaking. You pay good money for unquestionably loyal minions, and you're seriously considering punitive measures!

Alan Bradley outright refuses to work on Digitizer Codes! Would you like to:

We debated if we wanted to make you guys burn an action over this, since you probably could have seen it coming, but we decided that would be a bit too much of a jerk move.
 
[ ] Change Alan's Learning Action (write-in)
-[ ] Research extradimensional tech
-[ ] Research exotic vehicles
-[ ] Research Silphium
-[ ] Research Greco-Roman Terraforming
-[ ] Sequence crop genomes

[ ] Change the Hero Assigned to the Action (write-in who Alan is swapping with)
-[ ] Ludivine

Here are my thoughts. My concern with Ludivine is that Alan might not want to upgrade our normbots?
 
Welp. So I guess that means we're going to have to get his loyalty up. Or spy on employees I guess. Write in to spy on him in particular?

[X] Change Alan's Learning Action (write-in)
-[X] Research extradimensional tech

I'm just going to put this forth. I don't think anyone else besides Ludivine has great odds for this, and that would mean putting Alan on upgrading the Norm bots. Let's just get the dimensioninator done and over with.
It means losing a good chance of critting, unfortunately, but I guess?
He still has ~60% odds of critting if XP is applied, so it's not terrible odds
