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

Ultimately I think it's best to at the very least take the next step in the Toffee-Star plotline. On top of that forcing Alan to work on another method of entering alternate dimensions will surely make him sweat. It's creation can even be justified in the flavor text by Doof swinging by regularly to chew him out while doing some of the work himself.
 
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.
I mean it wouldn't have made much sense either - assigning him to something else or someone else to the task is the logical next step.

After all, the time and resources Doof planned to put towards the task are still there regardless if Alan accepts the task or not.

His bonus applies to it, and I'd really like to go crit-fishing with Ludivine on extra-dimensional tech.

We might get Alan to help once we got the codes from somewhere else but upping our computers from space tech still works.

Would Alan get a bonus to decode transmissions?

This might be a stretch, but if he were assigned to the task I'd imagine he'd approach it by creating a program to help him decode.
 
JavaScript:
class [Learning] {
public static void main ( String [reDevelopDigitizerCodes( )] alan)
float var (0+38+26+20+2=N/A);
system.out.println("USER ERROR");

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:

Uh, at the risk of sounding really stupid, does anyone who actually knows coding think there could be a hidden message in that string of code?

Probably not, the numbers are just the bonus we would have been adding to the roll. Well, seem to be. It's using his Stewardship instead of Learning and giving him a +2 loyalty bonus apparently but it seems to just be representing our bonuses, not any kind of hidden message.

Eh, you're probably right. I just thought it was a bit weird that the update specifically mentioned Alan stood there and took Doof's complaining for exactly 47 minutes, is all.
