We need to do a diplomacy action to collab with them for the turn after, so Doof will be back in charge in time for the collaboration.

Edit: nah we don't

...Honestly am a bit underwhelmed at "only" getting that Collab option outta a *three-part interlude*.

But anyway, anyone remember what we still got coming for us before the next turn?

[ ] Establish corporate ties with Doofenshmirtz
DC 70

Great Success

You received a very polite letter from the mayor of Zootopia State voicing her wish to pursue further ties with DEI. Considering that Zootopia is one of the few areas on the West Coast that's not directly influenced by the Zaibatsus or Glomgold Enterprises, this could end up being an unexpected windfall for you.

Xanatos Enterprises
[ ] Establish Prometheus Aeronautics
DC 120
62+38+35+15+8=150
Decent Success

Xanatos Enterprises announced the formation of Prometheus Aeronautics, a subsidiary company devoted to renewing the exploration of space, furthering development on the US' moon base, and most interestingly, building a space elevator. The company has attracted attention from rivals and investors alike all over the nation. Considering the numerous assets now reorganized under the Prometheus umbrella, commentators consider the new umbrella corp a statement of continuing investment in space travel from the famous billionaire.

[ ] Look into Kat
32

David sent you an email detailing what he knows about Kat, and you have to say that you're a little irked. Kat didn't even bother sticking around in New York like a good nemesis! Apparently someone booked a flight to Paris that they ended up missing, even though their cat carrier was already in the luggage area. You've got no idea what Kat could be doing over there.

[ ] Release anime filler
DC 100
33+1+76+19=129
Decent Success

When you heard that there was a fifty-seven terabyte leak of anime content released onto several streaming platforms, you were expecting some unreleased shows or highly-anticipated movies. You were not expecting that someone would've dubbed thousands of hours of anime in Old Japanese, circa the Nara period. Episodes ranged from undiscovered pilots of early Tezuka works to shounen episodes featuring events not yet adapted from their original manga. The production companies are completely baffled; while fan projects are not unheard of, the level of quality, odd choice of language, and sheer quantity of episodes produced leave many to wonder where they came from.

Learning Check: What the heck does this mean!?
DC 80 needed
48+38=86
Bare Success

You don't know the first thing about Old Japanese or most of the shows offered, but you did notice something weird. Some of their speech patterns seem awfully similar to those odd transmissions that still haven't let up yet… maybe you can work backwards from here?

The DC of Decoding Odd Transmissions has been reduced!

-Olympia Infiltration Activates!
US Government
[ ] Investigate Negaduck
DC ???
70+35+20+50(??!?!)=175
Some Sort of Success

Your agents in the Olympia Underground- or 'the mobs in Nevada' as Mirage insists on calling them- have informed you of what you suspect to be government spooks poking around the chemical factories which Negaduck stole from several months ago. Your spy guys inform you they were led by 'A woman with raven hair, who appeared in her early 30s.' Judging by the way the agents all suddenly disappeared at once, it seems like they found something.

Mira Nova
[ ] Investigate Earth
DC 100
43+18+28+7=96
Bare Failure

Mira Nova's otherwise fruitful investigations ran to a screeching halt when the Galactic Federation intercepted a high-powered signal blasting terabytes of data into the galaxy at large. This was hardly unusual, several of their institutions had done the same thing before. Unfortunately, when Mira went to investigate the content of the message, she found herself completely enthralled by strange stories of ninjas, pirates, and monkey men and ended up wasting most of her time. Technically, however, the knowledge gained on the human condition from these works may help speed a broader understanding of the planet's present sociopolitical climate.

You really have no way of knowing this in character. But we wanted to tell you anyway.

The Used To Be About History Channel
[ ] Promote Gargoyle Hunters
DC 80
65+26=91
Success

From the people who brought you Ghost Harassers comes the hit new show 'Gargoyle Hunters', a team of intrepid scientists looking to discover the truth behind these 'strange and terrifying beings'. It's your standard 'hunt for the paranormal, never find anything, bring in subject matter experts with no idea what they're talking about' affair. The show seems entirely biased against the creatures, clearly aligned with the 'fear and anger' branch of opinion that's been growing in recent months.

Night Terror
[ ] ???
DC ???
96+24+50 (???)=170
Critical Success

Chaos reigned across California last week as numerous sightings of Negaduck were accompanied by unexpected acts of arson, freak lightning strikes, and other oddly localized natural disasters. Experts are confused as to the meaning behind this as it does not follow Negaduck's usual MO, and in fact seems to make no sense whatsoever.

Negaduck
[ ] Come up with ???
DC 150
20+72+48+50+4=194
Success

The pugnacious poultry known as Negaduck was spotted in a Pizza Planet yesterday, simply… eating a vegetable pizza. Staff and other customers gathered in horror, watching the fearsome supervillain refill his soda and have a very casual meal… right up until another Negaduck walked in through the front door. Upon the two seeing each other, Negaduck broke out in mad laughter, cackling dementedly, "Yes! Finally, I've got it! Now I know exactly how to finish things off!" before running off into the night.

33+29+28-10 (Glory Daze)+50 (The Best is Yet to Come)=130
Extreme success

To be concluded in Interlude: Truth, Justice, and...

Shego
[ ] Take down the drug dealers
DC 180
7+68+45+6=126
Miserable Failure

Shego's decidedly lackluster attempts to uproot the Cartel's dealers from Middleton and the surrounding areas have been met with complete failure. The safehouses are too distributed, for every drone that was destroyed another twelve were ready to take their place, and all of the high command were nowhere to be seen. With the real powerbase still hidden in the Exclusion Zone, it's doubtful Shego's apparently hamfisted efforts will amount to much on her own.

Shere Khan
[ ] Sell oil to the third world
DC 100
17+42+34+10+8=111
Acceptable Success

With Shere Khan's famous fusion plants proliferating across the United States, the shrewd tiger has proven his expertise in what made him his first billions, offering oil at lucrative rates to various countries in the third world. With the consumption in America dropping in favor of Khan's own fusion and other green technologies, it's clear the cutthroat businessman seems more than happy to offload his remaining production to those who cannot afford his less polluting production methods.

Bakaemono
[ ] Release Bakaemono security bot consumer models
DC 115
78+33+32+15-3=155
Great Success

Bakaemono's massive success in producing military drones over the last year has proven successful to the point that the company is branching out into consumer models. While obviously less-lethal they are every bit as cunning as the military models, offering a wide variety of designs that promise a perfect match for any aesthetic. They're offered at affordable rates too, making it increasingly likely that the average homeowner might be able to purchase one for defense. It seems Olympia now has a rival in security robot solutions.

Funtelligence
[ ] ???
DC ???
98+36+29+10-2=181
??? Success

Rumors around San Fransokyo suggest that Trevor Trengrove has shut himself in his office for the past two months, working on… something. What, you have no idea, but Wendy seems concerned.

ENCOM
[ ] Advocate for the Legacy Upgrade
DC 100
71+18+27+20 (Market Dominance)+6=142
Great Success

The only thing ENCOM advertisements could talk about for the past few months was the Legacy Upgrade. It's been touting itself as the safest, most secure, and best ENCOM system ever, and with the tech monolith cutting support for most prior OSes, it's definitely in everyone's best interest to upgrade as soon as possible. It is free, after all, and in a surprising turn from ENCOM's previous track record, much, much better than you're comfortable with admitting. The campaign has taken great care not to seem overly pushy or domineering, and so far it has seen great results in ensuring more and more of ENCOM's existing customers upgrade from their legacy systems to… well… LEGACY.

[ ] Improve LEGACY security
DC 170
47+58+36+20+6=167
Bare Failure

ENCOM's announced upgrade to the LEGACY system was delayed for several months, citing 'security concerns' but promising their userbase that it would be of quality unparalleled.

Minversal Corporation
[ ] Declare Bankruptcy
DC 0

Khan Industries' elder statesman rival in aeronautics and air transport, Miniversal Corp, declared bankruptcy overnight. There are expected to be significant layoffs due to the suddenness of their closing doors. While officially citing an inability to adapt to new technologies in the industry, Miniversal fell into a sharp decline after its former CEO, Mr. Sultan, retired. Clearly, his replacement was by no means up to the task of competing against Shere Khan.

While it would raise a few eyebrows and risk an investigation into a potential monopoly, it is predicted that Khan Industries will attempt to purchase its late rival in the future. The aerospace industry has gained new traction that it hasn't had since before the Wynncomm space station disaster. The leap from the sky to the stars is hardly an unlikely one to make.

Random Event

A break-in was reported at the San Fransokyo Museum of Art last month, with the thieves making off with several valuable pieces. While several pieces such as City Rising were recovered at a pawn shop in Piedmont, many others such as The Prologue and the Promise are still missing.

Bellwether is a xenophobic racist with a history of using chemical warfare to enable ethnic oppression. Do we actually want to work with her?
Particularly when Doof is legally an Ocelot and we employ a number of canines and other predators?

Unfortunately, when Mira went to investigate the content of the message, she found herself completely enthralled by strange stories of ninjas, pirates, and monkey men and ended up wasting most of her time.
Classic anime is no waste of time.
…unproductive perhaps, but not a waste.

Really need to start dealing with him.

…meh, he remains Not Our Problem for the moment. We have apocalypses to deal with before he becomes a priority.
