Please check the cards again.
And this sort of thing is why I think putting Bill in the setting is a mistake. See, without Bill, everything that we wouldn't have this threat hanging over, thus forcing a meta that I find limiting. Bill sadly is just boring, there isn't really anything to him just malice. There is only one way to interact with him, which is lose until the GMs/Showrunner finally says you lose or you somehow win this time because they feel like it. Everyone else has much more interesting interactions even Doris because Doris can and does act non-hostile. Bill just doesn't do that, not in the state the setting has him in, at least thus far.
I know that our GMs can do characters quite well when they can feel the characters, and I'm just not seeing it with Bill. They clearly like the puzzles that are somewhat connected to him, and those are well done, but the character to me just feels hollow, flat. It just makes me think that without him in the setting they could do a lot more; similar to why they put as little as Vanessa in as they can, because they just aren't getting the character.

Unfortunately, since Bill is the most likely candidate for having caused the Convergence Event(s) on account of how powerful and careless he is, he is all but essential for this crossover to work in the place - so, as much as he makes this crossover an excercise in hopelessness and existential dread, without him it just flatout wouldn´t work.
I mean, who else but him would be powerful enough to slam multiple vastly different verses together, yet not give a fuck about immediately capitalizing on it and just obliterating all resistance (sry, but to me his "weaknesses" are closer to affections he allows himself to have outta sheer arrogance)? Can´t think of none - can you guys?
So yeah, his existence in Gridlocked is a friggin Catch22.

...The bad guy of the Country Bears movie?
But in all seriousness, there ain't much in that regard unless the QMs decided to include light Marvel elements or make an OC cosmic level entity to justify the crossover. There is also Ms. Myrtle the Eternal Turtle from Wander Over Yonder.

Those are some very nice stats.
I'm worried about those question marks though.
I'm guessing they are something like
Actually a Villain: At the beginning of each turn roll a d6. On a six she gains a temporary bonus and makes the action outcome slightly worse do to her villainous nature. Example would be her stealing from us or keeping something for herself.

Don't think so.
She is considered as Instability: Low, Quirkiness: Low and Pragmatism: High. It puts her among more stable hero units, closer to Mirage than to Jumba or Kitsune. She just have big discrepancy between her boisterous image and her actual approach which seems to be highly professional, as her taking additional time to negotiate employment contract indicates. If she really invested in stealing things, it is probably already included in her contracts or would be negotiated beforehand on case by case basis.

So... I'm picturing Mirage, plus panache, plus mind control powers, minus the MBA.
(the MBA is a very important component of why we rely on Mirage, so that's a big minus)

I was going over the hero units, when I realized something: if Janna didn't have Felldrake, with her current stats, she would be an Intrigue unit. Because her Intrigue score isn't half-bad
Since when did we care how the setting came to be? The setting exists so people can create their stories within it, not so everyone can 'discover' how it started.
Also: Bill can easily be the instigator without being an active participant. As could a vast number of other things in Disney's sprawling canons. Someone or something sticks a fork in the power socket of infinity and suddenly Gridlock exists.
In Bill's case he 'slams multiple vastly different verses together' and is destroyed/banished in the process.
As to why Bill should be excluded: He is someone that everyone else in the setting must eventually fight (as his objective is explicitly to game over everyone else) but at the same time is so powerful that he cannot be defeated or even meaningfully opposed except by GM fiat.
He is a one note banal evil that detracts far more than he adds.

Something I have my fingers crossed about is that Mirage gets a stat boost out of this mess. DEI functions thanks to folks like Elizabeth but the cornerstone of its business relies on Heinz's insanity and fringe knowledge letting them tumble upwards.
At the very least she is going to be exhausted at the end of this.

Meh. Personally, I like Bill. Plus, there are ways to defeat him. He did, after all, lose in canon in the end. And he is, for the most part, contained. Thanks to the weirdness bubble, he can only manifest in his nigh-omnipotent physical form within the triangle. Outside, he's stuck in the Dream World. He can't act on the physical world outside the bubble without a deal, and, once he's made him, he's constrained to whatever powers the person he's poessing has inherently, losing his magic.

You're not quite looking at it the right way. Bill is something that will probably be dealt with in an long enough running campaign. But I think your approach is mistaken.
How are you supposed to fight Bill Cipher? That's the neat thing, you don't.
Fighting Bill is kind of a fool's errand, at best you're looking at the world's most high stakes game of rocket tag, barring literal divine intervention or whatever. The trick with Bill is that you don't have to fight him. He's trapped in Gravity Falls, in the weirdness bubble. He can't leave, except as a thing that can occasionally show up in people's dreams. So his goal is to escape, and for that he operates through proxies and people he's able to sucker into a deal, people that can be fought. Bill escaping is his win condition, and the interesting stuff happens before that happens, trying to suss out who's secretly his agent and making sure he isn't able to manifest. Don't think of it as CK2, with Kingdoms saddling forth for war, think of it as Shadowrun. All the power in the world doesn't matter if he can't leverage it against you.
To be fair, I think people are predisposed to the end goal of DVV being "defeat the bad guy". An ending where Bill is still around just waiting to escape doesn't feel like winning, it feels like we've just bought the world some time.

"Yes ladies and gentlemen, I've really hit the big time on this one. Behold, the On-Ice Inator!" You throw your hands to the sky as an intern pulls the tarp off your latest creation, a tall chamber even now brimming with icy mist (albeit created from strategically placed dry ice, not for any practical reason). "With this brilliant device, real, actual cryogenic stasis is now possible! Do you have trouble sleeping? Sleep like you're dead! Problems with interloping do-gooders? Freeze them up like that guy in that movie! Really want it to not be Monday right now? Well now it can be! Guaranteed not to mysteriously deactivate with no explicable reason in about 2 months time, or your money back!"
"Mr. Doofenshmirtz." One of the assorted reporters and/or investors asks. "How many of these do you expect to sell?"
"What, like make more?" You ask confusedly. "Huh, maaaaybe? That sounds like, at least six months of work. But I could do!"
"Uhhh. Mr. Doofenshmirtz, how has this machine been tested?"
"Pffft, you're worried it's safe? It's completely safe. Here I'll show you." You declare, climbing into the machine. "A quick little 30-second freeze and then-"
"Actually, dad?" Your daughter Vanessa pipes up, standing from the corner of the room she had been disinterestedly sitting in. "I kinda need to talk to you about something."
"Can it wait, sweetie? Daddy's in the middle of something here."
"It's kind of important."
"Oh, oh right pumpkin." You concede. "Anything for you."

"So. I'll be going to SFIT soon, and-"
"Oh I know sweetie! I'm so proud of you!" And you are! Something… lit a fire under her the last few months. You're not sure what, but she threw herself into this like you've never seen! Given her low SAT score, Vanessa juuuuust squeaked by in the application process, and… well, she's not getting much in scholarships, that's for sure, not that it's much of a problem. But she did it! All by herself, with only the silent representation of a megacorp CEO behind her.
"What made you decide you wanted to study psychology?"
She looks at you for a moment.
"No reason."
"Huh. Well ok! So what about it sweetie?"
"I…" She suddenly looks self-conscious. "I wanted to say goodbye, dad."
"Oh Vanessa don't be silly! I'll be there to help you move in. I'm taking the time out of my schedule, I told Mirage it is non-negotiable, she's all set up to run things while I'm away, no question."
"I just… I'm a little worried you're about to freeze yourself in a block of ice for two months."
"P'shaw! My Inator is foolproof! I even left out the self-destruct button. Nothing can go wrong here." You say, as the camera zooms in on the time set to 'two months' and shorted-out by the dry ice fog. "No need to worry."
Your daughter purses her lips for a moment. And then, very suddenly, she is hugging you.
"I know I push you away sometimes." She says, talking fast as if the moment the flow stops she'll never be able to open the tap again. "But you really are a good dad."
"Vanessa-"
"Be good to Norm, ok? He deserves it. And maybe that weird princess too, since apparently everything you program comes alive if you talk to it enough." she says it as if it were some function of your own work, not a universal law of robotics. "And… and yourself, dad. Be good to you, too."
Your smile wobbles and you have to fight down the tears in your eyes. "I… ok sweetie. I'll see you in just a second. I love you."
Vanessa stepped back as a blast of winter cold overtook the room. Heinz Doofenshmirtz stood frozen, hunched and neurotic, but with a beatific smile and the first tear just beginning to run down his face.
"...Love you too, dad."

Vanessa has been accepted into SFIT! Vanessa has been removed as a hero unit.

You are, as far as the public knows, Elizabeth Peña. And you are Mirage. Doctor Doofenshmirtz's somewhat rash decision to encase himself in ice has led to a significant vacuum of leadership. The technicians inform you that they have no idea how his machine works, and it is probably best to just wait this out. As a result, your running of day-to-day operations has expanded into a general leadership of the company. Thankfully, the Doctor is eccentric enough that most of your higher level employees are willing to simply overlook the issue and accept a relatively quiet month without much fuss. You now have an uncertain but likely extended period in which to get things in order for the Doctor when he gets back, largely free of his usual… whims.

(1 martial action this turn)
[ ] Loan deniable assets
DC variable
One of DEI's best assets is its human assets. Many of our employees possess highly in demand skills; which means we can supply them.
When you choose this action, pick an option below.
-[ ] Loan questionable assets
DC 70
We don't need to ask questions- at least until they come back. No limits on the action performed.
Reward: Another faction gains assigned hero unit for a turn, medium boost to income)
-[ ] Loan limited assets
DC 100
Let's not let our employees be involved in anything we wouldn't approve of. You will know what the action is (and it will be something not antithetical to your previous choices).
Reward: Another faction gains assigned hero unit for a turn, small boost to income)
[ ] Loan PMCs to foreign assets
DC 110
Our private security solutions have thus far been a purely internal force. They are frequently not needed, and there are some international actors who would have great use from robotic or well-trained foot soldiers.
(Reward: Large income increase, potential government opinion decrease)
[ ] Outfit your PMC with power armor
DC 150
Now that you've got the basics of power armor down, you can start mass production to outfit members of your PMC. While the suits won't be as great as your own- or even what the military has, according to their publicly available specs- it'll still greatly increase their effectiveness and even enable them to keep up with some lower-tier capes.
(Reward: PMC effectiveness increased)
[ ] Reorganize your PMC
DC 170
Your PMC has grown ever since you first established it, with those troops from Mendel-Gruman, some actual Mongols, and whatever other recruits offered to sign up. You need to reorganize it into some distinct divisions to prevent confusion and even get some more things done!
(Reward: Second Martial action unlocked per turn)
[ ] Form a black ops group
DC 90, four capes required
Sometimes you need to be a little more subtle than a group of armored goons marching down the street, and for that, you need superpowers. Or technology so advanced it comes off like superpowers, much as it galls you to admit. Recruit a couple noteworthy individuals and stick them together on a team, then go ahead and make sure they actually get along!
In this instance, "cape" refers to anyone of a heroic or villainous leaning who isn't afraid of going out and getting some field work done, making judgements on the fly, or possibly getting their hands dirty. Hego would be considered a cape, while Norm would not.
(Reward: Black Ops Team established, Team will function as a Hero Unit with better stats than any single hero; can use team to undertake special actions)
[ ] Conduct corporate sabotage
DCs variable
The successful practice of corporate diplomacy sometimes requires the continuation of diplomacy by other means. Mighty corporations can and have been toppled in the dark. Beware. Some enterprising enemies may trace the attack back to you!
-[ ] Choose any known King or Prince to attack
-[ ] Write in the nature of the attack
Examples:
-[ ] Explode Doomtown Cog Factories
DC 110
-[ ] Halt Seth Supplies Co Shipments
DC 140
-[ ] Capture a few Sky High Graduates
DC 125
-[ ]Deface the remains of Waddle Inc corporate headquarters
DC 80
Once you have a clear target and goal in mind, the QM will respond with the DC the attempt would require, unless it would be secret.

(2 Diplomacy actions this turn)
[ ] Recruit the cream of the crop
DC 105
If there is one thing you know how to do, it is to find the best of the best. This time, your offers of employment… will be genuine.
(Reward: Grab bag of hero units of all types Mirage would approve of added to recruitment pool, one of which can be recruited this turn)
[ ] Lobby for an issue
DC Variable
Careful application of monetary and political pressure can frequently achieve outsized results on the national stage. The federal government is not quite for sale, but several of its mechanisms can be.
-[ ] Write-In
Examples: Lobby for SRA repeal
Lobby for corporate tax breaks
Lobby for a new law
Lobby for a specific individual's criminal pardon
Like many actions, the DC of the action will be determined once you suggest a particular course of action.
(Reward: Relevant shift in the position of the Federal Government; certain actions may take multiple turns.)
[ ] Recruit from your database
DC variable
You've kept the contact information of certain noteworthy individuals in your files, either people you've spoken to about employment in the past or people who you know in passing somehow. Perhaps by reaching out to them you can try and recruit some of them? They may refuse to work with you, or some of them might be off the market- the industry is a competitive one, after all!
(For clarity's sake, this means each hero unit below has a hidden % chance they're no longer available when you try to hire them.)
(Reward: Choice of one hero unit from the hero cards. While you may technically select any hero who has a card for this action, some units may not be available.)
[ ] Establish corporate ties with Glomgold Enterprises
DC 70
While famously miserly, it is clearly possible to collaborate with Glomgold and come out better for it. One must simply read the fine print closely, and his skills and resources are estimable.
(Reward: Establish contact with Glomgold, Glomgold Opinion Tracker Unlocked if Tracker is Unlocked)
[ ] Establish corporate ties with Khan Industries
DC 70
If Business is a Jungle, this tiger is certainly ruling it. Khan is, if a tad overbearing, certainly well regarded for his business acumen and ruthlessness. The sort of industry leader one would want on our side.
(Reward: Establish contact with Shere Khan, Khan Opinion Tracker Unlocked if Tracker is Unlocked)
[ ] Establish corporate ties with ENCOM
DC 85
While our own products have competed with theirs in the past, our recent dip in sales figures could prove it is time to bury the hatchet. Certainly mortal enemies have not been above doing business in the past if the payout is right. And we are far from ENCOM's mortal enemies.
(Reward: Establish contact with ENCOM, ENCOM Opinion Tracker Unlocked if Tracker is Unlocked)
[ ] Establish ties with Magical New York
DC 95
The center of the magical world in America is undoubtedly New York. You've already met some of the movers and shakers, but establishing an official line with whoever runs the place on paper would certainly prove useful. Apparently that's someone called a 'Patrician'.
(Reward: Establish contact with the 'Patrician of the Magus Bazaar')
[ ] Collaborate with the Government on an Issue
DC 100/Variable
The government could always use more deniable assets, and we could always use more clout with them.
By taking this action, you will be able to collaborate with a King on an action they are interested in. You'll still have to take that action yourself, but you will receive the bonus of the king or one of their hero units (whichever is higher) on the relevant roll. Of course, you will have to share the spoils of your efforts as well…
The DC of this action is like that of Assault a Rival- once you suggest a specific issue to speak about, I'll estimate a DC for the following action for you.
[ ] Form a Research Agreement with Drakktech
DC 90
Drakktech's R&D divisions are responsible for some amazing advancements over the past few years. They would surely appreciate some assistance on their next project.
(Reward: Collaborative research action unlocked, Potential for improved relations)
[ ] Collaborate with Drakktech on an issue
DC 90/Variable
There's lots of problems you can think of that would be much easier to solve alongside a terrifying super woman with plasma hands. The hard part will be getting Shego to see it that way.
By taking this action, you will be able to collaborate with a King on an action they are interested in.

-[ ] On the Drug Trade
(Unlocked action will have DC 230)
The drug cartel has been a very persistent thorn in Drakktech's side for several years now, and Shego's lackluster attempts to root them out last month were met with unmitigated failure. Perhaps it's time to offer some assistance on the matter?
(Reward: Collaborative action unlocked, Potential for improved relations)
[ ] Form a Research Agreement with Xanatos Enterprises
DC 90
Xanatos Enterprises and its subsidiaries are involved in everything from microchips to genetics. It's very possible they would be willing to accept our help in researching something that we would both profit from.
By taking this action, you will be able to collaborate with a King on a research topic they are interested in. You'll still have to take that action yourself, but you will receive the bonus of the king or one of their hero units (whichever is higher) on the relevant roll. Of course, you will have to share the spoils of your efforts as well…
If this option succeeds, there will be a vote later on for specific collaboration options.
(Reward: Collaborative research action unlocked, Potential for improved relations)
[ ] Try to Collaborate With Xanatos Enterprises on an Issue
DC Variable
There's definitely a lot going on in the world that affects you both. If you want to start building towards greater cooperation, it might be a good idea to talk to Xanatos about any potential issues you both face, or a possible point of conflict you'd like to nip in the bud.
By taking this action, you will be able to collaborate with a King on an action they are interested in. You'll still have to take that action yourself, but you will receive the bonus of the king or one of their hero units (whichever is higher) on the relevant roll. Of course, you will have to share the spoils of your efforts as well…
The DC of this action is like that of Assault a Rival- once you suggest a specific issue to speak about, I'll estimate a DC for the following action for you.
(Reward: Collaborative action unlocked, Potential for improved relations)
[ ] Collaborate with Bellwether on a project
DC Variable
Bellwether's letter of introduction was somewhat unexpected, but could prove a valuable and technically governmental contract. Perhaps it would be wise to jump the gun and propose a project of your own?

[ ] Form a Research Agreement with the Zaibatsu
DC 100
Now that you have links to each of the big three megacorps that dominate west coast production, you can take advantage of it to collaborate on whatever issue has you tied up in knots. Your cooperation will extend to whichever Zaibatzu is focused on the topic you are reaching out for- Bakaemono for robotics and electronics, Funtelligence for AI, or Sycorax for genetics.

[ ] Form a Research Agreement with Olympia
DC 75
Devtech originally made telecommunications, and as inheritors of Kronos they of course also mastered a wide variety of robotics. A collaboration in those areas would be fruitful.

[ ] Expand into Foreign Markets
DC Variable
DEI's growth over the years has been steady and consistent. We can now take the logical steps, acquire the proper permits, and grease the right palms to expand into foreign markets. This can be a risk, but certainly one worth considering.
Select one of the following nations Doofensmhirtz has recently had on his mind.
-[ ] Japan: Eastern capital of bleeding-edge science, robotics, ninjas, and anime. Their Prime Minister is Kitsunezuka "The Big Cheese" Seymour.
DC 120
-[ ] British Isles: Industrialized centers of trade and commerce. Includes the UK and Ireland. Home to John D. Rockerduck, oil magnate and Second-Richest Duck.
DC 130
-[ ] France: Bonjour! This futuristic country hosts noir scenes, genetic engineering, romance, fine dining, and supervillain terrorism.
DC 130
-[ ] Thembria: Frigid, repressive state on the edge of Siberia. The Thembrians maintain a robust army and chilly relations with the rest of the globe.
DC 100
[ ] Recruit the cream of the crop
DC 105
If there is one thing you know how to do, it is to find the best of the best. This time, your offers of employment… will be genuine.
(Reward: Grab bag of hero units of all types Mirage would approve of added to recruitment pool, one of which can be recruited this turn)
[ ] Lobby for an issue
DC Variable
Careful application of monetary and political pressure can frequently achieve outsized results on the national stage. The federal government is not quite for sale, but several of its mechanisms can be.
-[ ] Write-In
Examples: Lobby for SRA repeal
Lobby for corporate tax breaks
Lobby for a new law
Lobby for a specific individual's criminal pardon
Like many actions, the DC of the action will be determined once you suggest a particular course of action.
(Reward: Relevant shift in the position of the Federal Government; certain actions may take multiple turns.)
[ ] Recruit from your database
DC variable
You've kept the contact information of certain noteworthy individuals in your files, either people you've spoken to about employment in the past or people who you know in passing somehow. Perhaps by reaching out to them you can try and recruit some of them? They may refuse to work with you, or some of them might be off the market- the industry is a competitive one, after all!
(For clarity's sake, this means each hero unit below has a hidden % chance they're no longer available when you try to hire them.)
(Reward: Choice of one hero unit from the hero cards. While you may technically select any hero who has a card for this action, some units may not be available.)

[ ] Establish corporate ties with Glomgold Enterprises
DC 70
While famously miserly, it is clearly possible to collaborate with Glomgold and come out better for it. One must simply read the fine print closely, and his skills and resources are estimable.
(Reward: Establish contact with Glomgold, Glomgold Opinion Tracker Unlocked if Tracker is Unlocked)
[ ] Establish corporate ties with Khan Industries
DC 70
If Business is a Jungle, this tiger is certainly ruling it. Khan is, if a tad overbearing, certainly well regarded for his business acumen and ruthlessness. The sort of industry leader one would want on our side.
(Reward: Establish contact with Shere Khan, Khan Opinion Tracker Unlocked if Tracker is Unlocked)
[ ] Establish corporate ties with ENCOM
DC 85
While our own products have competed with theirs in the past, our recent dip in sales figures could prove it is time to bury the hatchet. Certainly mortal enemies have not been above doing business in the past if the payout is right. And we are far from ENCOM's mortal enemies.
(Reward: Establish contact with ENCOM, ENCOM Opinion Tracker Unlocked if Tracker is Unlocked)
[ ] Establish ties with Magical New York
DC 95
The center of the magical world in America is undoubtedly New York. You've already met some of the movers and shakers, but establishing an official line with whoever runs the place on paper would certainly prove useful. Apparently that's someone called a 'Patrician'.
(Reward: Establish contact with the 'Patrician of the Magus Bazaar')
[ ] Collaborate with the Government on an Issue
DC 100/Variable
The government could always use more deniable assets, and we could always use more clout with them.
By taking this action, you will be able to collaborate with a King on an action they are interested in. You'll still have to take that action yourself, but you will receive the bonus of the king or one of their hero units (whichever is higher) on the relevant roll. Of course, you will have to share the spoils of your efforts as well…
The DC of this action is like that of Assault a Rival- once you suggest a specific issue to speak about, I'll estimate a DC for the following action for you.
[ ] Form a Research Agreement with Drakktech
DC 90
Drakktech's R&D divisions are responsible for some amazing advancements over the past few years. They would surely appreciate some assistance on their next project.
(Reward: Collaborative research action unlocked, Potential for improved relations)
[ ] Collaborate with Drakktech on an issue
DC 90/Variable
There's lots of problems you can think of that would be much easier to solve alongside a terrifying super woman with plasma hands. The hard part will be getting Shego to see it that way.
By taking this action, you will be able to collaborate with a King on an action they are interested in. You'll still have to take that action yourself, but you will receive the bonus of the king or one of their hero units (whichever is higher) on the relevant roll.

-[ ] On the Drug Trade
(Unlocked action will have DC 230)
The drug cartel has been a very persistent thorn in Drakktech's side for several years now, and Shego's lackluster attempts to root them out last month were met with unmitigated failure. Perhaps it's time to offer some assistance on the matter?
(Reward: Collaborative action unlocked, Potential for improved relations)
[ ] Form a Research Agreement with Xanatos Enterprises
DC 90
Xanatos Enterprises and its subsidiaries are involved in everything from microchips to genetics. It's very possible they would be willing to accept our help in researching something that we would both profit from.
By taking this action, you will be able to collaborate with a King on a research topic they are interested in. You'll still have to take that action yourself, but you will receive the bonus of the king or one of their hero units (whichever is higher) on the relevant roll. Of course, you will have to share the spoils of your efforts as well…
If this option succeeds, there will be a vote later on for specific collaboration options.
(Reward: Collaborative research action unlocked, Potential for improved relations)
[ ] Try to Collaborate With Xanatos Enterprises on an Issue
DC Variable

DC 100
(2 Stewardship actions this turn)
[ ] Cook the Books
DC 100
There are a great many things that can be done to a tax sheet that are not, technically speaking, illegal. Removing a significant number of expenditures from your April balance could provide significant returns.
Reward: Operating Expenses slightly reduced.
[ ] Establish an offshore account
DC 110
The creation of an offshore account in such a short period of time will not be easy, but it would be a very valuable reservoir of untraceable funding should the need arise. It would also aid with tax-beneficent strategies.
Reward: 5 Income will be added to an offshore account that can only be accessed for Mirage-approved actions.
[ ] Commit Tax Fraud
DC 130
There are other things that can be done to a tax sheet that are, strictly speaking, illegal. However, they are also things you know how to do quite well.
(Reward: massive income boost, significant hit to relations with the Federal government if discovered via a DC 110 roll)
[ ] Corporate restructuring
DC 85
Reorganizing your subsidiaries would both increase corporate synergy and ease corporate oversight.
(Reward: +1 income/year. Slight reduction in the DC of internal surveillance.)
[ ] Sell public shares
DC 110
DEI is not currently publicly traded, but if you decide to go public there is a great amount of profit to be made. The downside, of course, is that those who purchased those shares could potentially come to wield undue influence in the company.
Reward: +7 income per fiscal year, +13 income immediately, DEI gains a (high) Corporate Takeover DC.
[ ] Play the market
No DC, dependent on the market
Playing the market carries a certain degree of risk, but you could make a lot of profit with clever investments. Spend up to 7 income and choose low volatility or high volatility options.
-[ ] Low Volatility
Profit is equal to X/3, rounded up. A 1d100 must roll above 50, or no profit and instead lose two income.
-[ ] High Volatility
Profit is equal to (X/2)+1, rounded up. A 1d100 must roll above 70, or no profit and instead lose three income.
[ ] Hold a Powerline concert
DC 90
Powerline is still a little gimmicky but his concerts have a surprising amount of staying power despite coming straight out of the early 2000s. He seems to have remembered an experience he and Goofy's son shared on stage, displaying some interest in setting up a concert in Danville. You can speed things along with a few letters to the Performing Arts Center.
(Reward: Income increase)
[ ] Implement Large Herbivore Exhibits
DC 120
Public exhibits of large, herbivorous dinosaurs would be both relatively safe and an enormous boon to the finances of the fledgling park, considering it has thus far displayed only smaller creatures.
(Reward: Doofrasic Park income increases)
[ ] Clear the name of Bonkers Bobcat
DC 150
To be frank, what you're going to get here is a long, dull legal slog. You're mostly going to be providing Bonkers with financial and legal aid to ensure that he gets the fairest trial possible. That'll be difficult in Doomtown, but between your corporate influence and the extremely blatant framejob, you think you can pull it off.
[ ] Study Diecast Robotics
DC 130
Coyote and friends brought back a few scrapped robots from that terrible wasteland over in the Rust Belt. While their electronics are completely unrecoverable, you think you can still get some use out of them. According to the debriefing you read, there were thousands upon thousands of these things, seemingly churned out with little care or effort. While mass-producing a metal shell is certainly not beyond your capability, studying the little things seems to imply that the entire robot came out of the same one-press mold. That kind of efficiency could do wonders to your own supply lines, if you can just figure out how it works!
(Reward: Slight income increase from efficiency improvements, reduced DC of robotics-related actions)
[ ] Establish a Bakaemono Supply Chain
DC 85
Bakaemono has officially offered to begin supplying DEI with advanced materials manufacturing and production solutions. What this means under all the technical jargon is that they want to sell you circuit boards and actuators and pneumatics and all the other bits and bobs that go into making your Normbots, slightly alien coffee makers, and other large-scale inventions. While you're certainly capable of doing that yourself, Bakaemono is the recognized market leader, and has both the scale and the expertise to make outsourcing worth it.
(Reward: Potential for improved relations, certain actions will reduce in DC)
[ ] Solidify your Hero Structure
DC 90
You're not even sure where to begin. The last time you saw a functional job description in Doofenshmirtz's office it was being eaten by the Goozim. How on earth are you going to provide health insurance to a ghost!?!
(Reward: Hero Unit Cap increased by 5)
[ ] Sponsor SPLIT/SECOND
DC 80
Janus Lee apparently has a plan for some sort of racing show/competition called SPLIT/SECOND, which is nothing more than no-holds-barred racing with live explosions, souped-up vehicles, and just general mayhem and high-octane action. It'd take a bit of doing to make sure nobody gets hurt and everything is... legal, but if it succeeds it could prove quite popular.
(Reward: SPLIT/SECOND show established, moderate income increase, moderate public opinion increase, ???)
[ ] Collaborate with Smarty Mart
DC 70
Martin Smarty, the CEO of major supermarket/wholesaler chain Smarty Mart and one of the richest non-ducks in the world, has offered to collaborate with you on a large-scale upgrade to your Doofenshmirtz Evil Megamarts. In addition to splitting the profits with you, he was so enthused by his meeting with Coyote that he's offered to do a bit of consulting for you on other projects.
(Reward: small income increase, Marty Smarty will be available to perform a few stewardship actions for you.)
[ ] Improve Recycling Programs
DC 55
A big part of being 'Greevil' is learning to reduce, reuse and recycle. Doofenshmirtz left some plans around for… talking trash cans?
You suppose you could use something straightforward.
(Rewards: Contributes to overall Greevil image, slightly increases income as processes become more efficient, every third trashcan is given a helpful AI)
[ ] Construct Doppelganger Body
DC 70
Construction of a true to life artificial humanoid as accurately as possible is neither a cheap nor a rapid process. At the end of it however, you'll have a functioning vessel for nearly limitless possibility.
-[ ] Specify a Doppelganger
(Reward: Doppelganger chassis created for specific form)
[ ] Attempt a hostile corporate takeover
DC varies depending on the corporation. Olympia Corp DC 310, DrakkTech DC 325, Xanatos Enterprises DC ???, Khan Industries DC 300, Glomgold Enterprises 425, Sycorax DC 200, Funtelligence DC 270, Gen-U-Tech DC 200, Bakaemono Corporation DC 200, Cloverleaf Industries DC 300)
The other corporations aren't coming to the table? No problem! Do things the underhanded way and gain control of them for yourself! While this is technically legal it's not likely to make you many friends in the business world. Also, some of the owners of these companies are criminally insane, and managing to cheat them out of their whole company might have consequences.
(Reward: Varies, Weakens controller of relevant corp, possible new research or technology options obtained)
[ ] Buy out a rival corporation
DC varies
There are some corporations that aren't rich enough to ignore you and lack the legal chops to fight a takeover, so you can just cut straight to the point and buy them out. Perfectly legal and on the level, and it won't even make you enemies aside from whatever fanboys are upset that you now own their favorite brand. Descriptions provided for companies as needed.
Beware that rival conglomerates will also have the chance to pounce on opportunities you don't.
Choose One:
-[ ] Hopper Food Group - Fast food conglomerate with multiple smaller restaurants under their North American banner. Cost: 8 Income
Yearly Income: +3
DC 95
-[ ] WyndComm Enterprises - Civilian aeronautics company that constructs and launches satellites for commercial use. Has worked on contracts with government and private space programs in years prior. It might be a good way to jump-start any plans you might have. Cost: 5 Income
Yearly Income: +1

Martin Smarty, the CEO of major supermarket/wholesaler chain Smarty Mart and one of the richest non-ducks in the world, has offered to collaborate with you on a large-scale upgrade to your Doofenshmirtz Evil Megamarts. In addition to splitting the profits with you, he was so enthused by his meeting with Coyote that he's offered to do a bit of consulting for you on other projects.
(Reward: small income increase, Marty Smarty will be available to perform a few stewardship actions for you.)
[ ] Improve Recycling Programs
DC 55
A big part of being 'Greevil' is learning to reduce, reuse and recycle. Doofenshmirtz left some plans around for… talking trash cans?
You suppose you could use something straightforward.
(Rewards: Contributes to overall Greevil image, slightly increases income as processes become more efficient, every third trashcan is given a helpful AI)
[ ] Construct Doppelganger Body
DC 70
Construction of a true to life artificial humanoid as accurately as possible is neither a cheap nor a rapid process. At the end of it however, you'll have a functioning vessel for nearly limitless possibility.
-[ ] Specify a Doppelganger
(Reward: Doppelganger chassis created for specific form)
[ ] Attempt a hostile corporate takeover
DC varies depending on the corporation. Olympia Corp DC 310, DrakkTech DC 325, Xanatos Enterprises DC ???, Khan Industries DC 300, Glomgold Enterprises 425, Sycorax DC 200, Funtelligence DC 270, Gen-U-Tech DC 200, Bakaemono Corporation DC 200, Cloverleaf Industries DC 300)
The other corporations aren't coming to the table? No problem! Do things the underhanded way and gain control of them for yourself! While this is technically legal it's not likely to make you many friends in the business world. Also, some of the owners of these companies are criminally insane, and managing to cheat them out of their whole company might have consequences.
(Reward: Varies, Weakens controller of relevant corp, possible new research or technology options obtained)
[ ] Buy out a rival corporation
DC varies
There are some corporations that aren't rich enough to ignore you and lack the legal chops to fight a takeover, so you can just cut straight to the point and buy them out. Perfectly legal and on the level, and it won't even make you enemies aside from whatever fanboys are upset that you now own their favorite brand. Descriptions provided for companies as needed.
Beware that rival conglomerates will also have the chance to pounce on opportunities you don't.
Choose One:
-[ ] Hopper Food Group - Fast food conglomerate with multiple smaller restaurants under their North American banner. Cost: 8 Income
Yearly Income: +3
DC 95
-[ ] WyndComm Enterprises - Civilian aeronautics company that constructs and launches satellites for commercial use. Has worked on contracts with government and private space programs in years prior. It might be a good way to jump-start any plans you might have. Cost: 5 Income
Yearly Income: +1
DC 80
(1 Intrigue action this turn, 1 lost due to Experiment!)
[ ] Conduct a Security Sweep
DC 60
There are a number of greedy or simply lazy people in the middle management of every industry through which information can leak. Knowing what time the DEI Megamart restocks may not do much on its own, but enough pencil pushers leaving their passwords around or chatting too loudly in the bar are unquestionably allowing practically every major corp a basic understanding of DEI's dealings. Some carefully targeted firings and increased security measures should put a stop to it.
(Reward: Reduce low-level infiltration of DEI surface level operations.)
[ ] Hunt for Moles
DC 125
You are all but certain there are high-level moles in DEI, and Doofenshmirtz has not taken any of your hints to search for them. They need to be found. Now.
(Reward: Reveal high-level spies in your organization)
[ ] Hold a 'Security Seminar'
DC 100
Doofenshmirtz's security systems have not exactly been overwhelmingly robust thus far. It would be wise to brief a core cadre of professionals and charge them with maintaining internal affairs.
(Reward: You will establish an Intelligence Group that will grant you bonuses to intelligence in your own territory)
[ ] Investigate Negaduck's plan
DC 160
Negaduck's planning… something. It involves lots of chemicals, and it's probably not good. Other than that, you barely know where to start, so maybe you could just send someone out after him? This has the potential to get dangerous.
(Reward: ???)
[ ] Interrogate Michael Yagoobian
DC 80
This… roynish ronyon is apparently the best lead you have into the strange happenings down in Florida. It should be trivially easy to extract information from the miasmatic churl, provided someone can sit with him long enough to have a serious discussion.
(Reward: More information on Florida)
[ ] Investigate Celebration
DC 120
Regardless of the absurdity of the source, something is very wrong in Florida. Now that we have an idea of what, it may be time to see how deep this hypnotic rabbit hole goes.
(Reward: More information on Florida)
[ ] Investigate Crime in Doofania
DC 100
The loss of their primary leader seems to have sent the cats spiraling… even worse than you expected. You have a hunch there's something further going on in the underworld, and you want to find out what right now, before it becomes an issue.
(Reward: Reveal all extant underworld factions, unlock actions to deal with them)
[X] Track down Kat (Coyote)
DC ???
That pernicious tabby sent [Doofenshmirtz] an email that showed him eating caviar over in New York! It really made you mad since he should be rotting away in a jail cell for what he did to Doofania! Send someone to track him down and haul him back to where he belongs! Though why do you feel like you've been here before?
Locked In
(Reward: ???)
[ ] Investigate the Murderous Toon
DC ???
Apparently the team you sent to investigate Hawk's death came back with a surprising revelation- the murder actually was committed by a toon! Not Bonkers, thankfully, though it is really concerning that there's someone capable of this out there. You don't have much to go on at the moment, but… maybe you could send someone to look into it? There was some sort of lead going on with ACME serial numbers, that might make things easier.
[ ] Steal Digitizer Codes
DC ???
So. It turns out that the SVH 20905 is useless without the accompanying algorithms unless you want to end up as a random mash of body parts inside the computer. The guy who stole the plans in the first place might not even know about them, so why not go straight to the source? Break into ENCOM and try to find what you need! It's not without risk though, they've already been robbed once and surely don't want to get robbed again…
Reward: ???
[ ] Attempt to steal Dimensional Scissors
DC ???
You remember a news report a while ago about a 'Seth Supplies Co' experiencing a terrible attack that resulted in the building's total destruction. You're not certain, but if you had to guess… maybe it had something to do with those scissors Tobe had mentioned? You could always try to find them yourself, but there's no telling if they even exist anymore.
(Reward: ???)
[ ] Infiltrate a Hotspot
DC Variable
There's a number of places around the country that see a lot of underworld activity; mostly those that have a lot of mercantile trading going on. It might be a good idea to set up some small informant rings in order to keep your ear to the ground on what's happening across the shady side of the country.
Choose One:
-[ ] Zootopia: DC 70
Home to creatures great and small, and a major trading city in the northwest.
-[ ] New York: DC 125
Xanatos' own personal stomping ground. You have no doubt Xanatos has his fingers in everything from the Sykes gang to Brocamas, but he doesn't seem like the kind of guy to get annoyed at you for putting out feelers. Tobe didn't exactly manage this one with flying colors though, so it won't exactly be easy.
(Reward: Expanded rival reports for relevant regional underworld)
[ ] Investigate what's happening in Oregon
DC ???
Lately Oregon has been a hotbed of weirdness. People are spotting all sorts of cryptids up there, like the Jersey Devil (who's a long way from home), the Mothman, Bigfoot, and lots of others. Despite having modern cameras on them at all times it's inexplicably hard for people to snap accurate pictures, and given how many other odd things have proven remarkable, it might be worth looking into?
(Reward: ???)
[ ] Seed corporate sleeper agents
DC varies depending on the corporation. Olympia Corp DC 95, DrakkTech DC 105, Xanatos Enterprises DC 100 (?), Khan Industries DC 95, Glomgold Enterprises 135, Sycorax DC 95, Funtelligence DC 75, Gen-U-Tech DC 95, Bakaemono Corporation DC 80, Nightstone DC 90, ENCOM DC 140, Cloverleaf Industries DC 115, NMEIZ 95.
Rather than attempt an immediate infiltration, we can insert a sleeper unit into a target company, ordering them to remain a loyal servant and work their way into the corporation- feeding information back to us, and preparing to strike.
Choose one: Assign your hero unit to cover operations (Hero unit will either infiltrate themselves or, if too conspicuous, directly support the operation. Assigning the hero unit will greatly increase the chance of positive events and potentially provide input on their choice, but will lose access to that unit until you extract them, likely ruining the network in the process)
Or
Do not assign the hero unit to active infiltration (hero unit still adds bonus but does not join long-term infiltration team, lower chance of positive events)
(Reward: Gradual drip feed of information over time, chance of reduced assault or espionage DCs, low chance of infiltrating the enemy's hero roster(!))
[ ] Conduct corporate espionage

(2 Learning actions this turn)
[ ] Research with the Imagination Institute
DC Variable
The Imagination Institute is ready to perform a research action with you. You'll receive the bonus of their king or one of their hero units- whoever is higher- on the relevant roll, as well as sharing the spoils of your efforts. This means you will both have access to any new resources or abilities you gain, and will split proceeds such as profits, goodwill, etc. You can choose to ignore the collaboration this turn and do nothing, though doing so will have consequences.
Wendy Wower is already vibrating gently with desire to continue her phenomenal breakthrough in sentient robotics. At this point though, she thinks she could benefit greatly from a soft science approach.
(Reward: Increased understanding of Artificial Intelligence Genesis)
It occurs to you that with Doofenshmirtz literally frozen into a block of ice, you could potentially take the chance to examine what actually makes the man tick. This probably isn't what Dr. Mercurial meant when he asked to 'pick Doof's brain', but…
(Reward: Better understanding of what goes on inside Doofenshmirtz's head, blatant invasion of privacy (maybe you can ask him first???), ???)
Dr. Nigel Channing is apparently 'close' to a monumental breakthrough in the field of imaginative life. As this is not your field of expertise, you cannot qualify the accuracy of that statement.
(Reward: Understanding of how unusual lifeforms come into being.)
The study of the humble Toon is fraught with challenge and complexity, as the species seems to actively resist classification and the Animator's Guild hoards their knowledge. Rediscovering their creation could be a great boon, not least to the Toons themselves.
(Reward: Gain an understanding of the creation of Toons.)
There is one… scientist? In the II who has a somewhat unusually obsessive fixation on the theory of living toys. She posits that they 'come to life' when people aren't watching and can act of their own volition. And by 'posit,' we mean 'actively advocates for it and carries around a stuffed lamb'. You're not certain as to the applications of this… but it sounds like the sort of thing Doofenshmirtz would want.
(Reward:???)
[ ] Decode Odd Transmissions
DC 110 (Reduced by Translator Suite, Increased by ???, Reduced by Anime)
Doofenshmirtz' interest in this particularly vexing signal has waxed and waned, but that does not necessarily mean its deciphering is of no value.
(Reward: ???)
[ ] Develop AI
DC 140
Choose subcategory of military, civilian, or consumer
After discovering the secret of AI, the next step is to work on commercial applications. The possibilities are numerous and the potential profit to be made is enormous… although some would urge us to consider the ethical implications of such an act. There may be certain risks involved in AI development…
-[ ] Which category?
[ ] Re-Develop Digitizer Codes
DC 150
The SHV 20609 is a piece of proprietary ENCOM tech that you purchased from a third party… who failed to mention that a series of algorithms were needed to use the device in the first place. This would represent a significant investment of time and money but it may be worth it in the end to see what sort of technology ENCOM has kept hidden from the world.
(NOTE: You can still choose to Write-In any means you would like of dealing with Solanaceae and getting the codes from them. This option is just still available too.)
(Reward: SHIVA algorithms created)
[ ] Research Large Carnivore Domestication
DC 150
The Mendel-Gruman dinosaur park has led to quite a bit of profit for DEI, but the public is growing a bit bored with the present offerings. It will take some research and adjustments to safely implement large carnivore exhibits that are projected to cause an increase in park attendance.
(Reward: Income produced by Doofrasic Park increases)
[ ] Cure genetic diseases I
DC 150
Sycorax and Gen-U-Tech have already made massive strides in manipulating the human genome, but there's always room for further improvement. Progressing down this path would represent a significant undertaking, one that would surely gain DEI some fame.
(Reward: Income and public opinion increases, further genetics options unlocked)
[ ] Sequence crop genomes
DC 110
Sycorax's long-awaited genetically modified rice crops put a firm end to the food crisis, though there is always room for further entrants into the field. Combining this with the research done into climate controlled environments will offer a slightly higher yield than would be achievable otherwise.
(Reward: Develop Genemod Crops unlocked)
[ ] Study weird object
DC 140, cannot assign a human or toon
The Doctor displayed some interest in a mysterious object that defied all attempts at cryptanalysis, and while you're personally not certain what benefit this could offer the company you do admit to a bit of personal curiosity.
(Reward: ???)
[ ] Research the metahuman genome
DC 160
The work done on the metahuman genome thus far has been incomplete, even among industry leaders. For years you worked for a man who said that everyone would be super.
Maybe now they can be.
(Reward: Basic understanding of superpowers; superpowers tree unlocked)
[ ] Research extradimensional tech
DC 60
The Doctor has acquired an esoteric artifact from an auction that will allegedly allow one to traverse dimensions. With recent revelations about extradimensional warlords, it may be of interest to investigate this opportunity.
(Reward: Extradimensional transport established)
[ ] Research exotic vehicles
DC 85
Lee Industries are veterans in vehicle design, both civilian and military. Integrating their best and brightest into your R&D department and letting them go wild will allow you to unleash truly inventive machines upon the world! Now that you have an example of a limo that, by all accounts, should not exist, this should be even more productive!
(Reward: Reduced DC to vehicle-related actions like mass transit, unlocks ??? when combined with sublight drives)
[ ] Research sublight drives
DC 140
The technology recovered from the Galactic Federation is in many ways decades beyond current designs. Of particular interest are their 'subluminal engines', which still outpace most of what the United States military is running with. The financial opportunities of this should be obvious.
(Rewards: Rapid deployment for your own hero units cross-country, opportunity to begin commercializing alien tech, ??? when combined with exotic vehicles)
[ ] Research Uburnium fuel
DC 130
According to some lab reports you've read, there exists a theoretical element that serves as the most efficient, abundant, and cheapest fuel in all the universe… though, of course, it seems as if none of it exists on Earth. If even half of the claims made about this element are true, it might be worth the research.
(Reward: Option to build a particle accelerator and synthesize Uburnium unlocked, option to search outer space for uburnium unlocked after a space program is developed)
[ ] Research GalFed Cloaking Tech
DC 140
The cloaking device on the GalFed ship you appropriated isn't the greatest, but it's still way beyond anything on the civilian market, and at least on par with the military's finest toys. It does have a pretty nasty power requirement though, so you're not going to be able to slap it on everything.
(Reward: Cloaking device reverse-engineered)
[ ] Psychologically profile a target
DC varies depending on target
The first step to creating a robo-doppelganger AI is creating a profile of the target. All their little nuances that make them them- what are their likes and dislikes, their voice, their inflections, the way they think and act? It's no small feat, but nobody ever said creating a robotic duplicate of someone would be easy.
-[ ] Who do you psychologically profile? Living people will be easier than dead ones, famous people easier than people with little public record, and volunteers will be even easier.
(Reward: Doppleganger of a specific person 50% done; Build physical doppleganger action unlocked)
[ ] Research Animal Uplink Suits
DC 120
Lizzy has drafted up some blueprints for the antborg armor she utilized earlier, but her handwriting is terrible and her notes are arcane. You're pretty sure that with enough effort you can make it so any animal can uplink to the armor and gain advanced strength and mobility, but you're not sure how to do that yet.
(Reward: animal uplink suits unlocked, changes ??? in the future)
[ ] Research Insect Control
DC 140
Lizzy has constructed some sort of mechanism that allows her to assume rudimentary control over nearby insects. When combined with the uplink suits, you can already imagine how effective they might become in combat, but as it stands her tech is barely out of the concept phase. With a little effort, you might turn this into something truly intimidating.
(Reward: insect control technology unlocked, ???, ???, ???)
[ ] Research Silphium
DC 90
This wondrous herb has been extinct for centuries… everywhere except Drusselstein, that is. According to some ancient literature the uses for this thing are innumerable, ranging from the culinary to the pharmaceutical. Unfortunately you've got no idea where to begin given that most of the literature on the thing is older than any modern nations. Get your scientists cracking to see if they can figure out how to best use it!
(Rewards: new research unlocked, ???, ???)
[ ] Research Zero Point Energy Technology
DC 130
One of Syndrome's most closely guarded secrets was his so-called 'zero point energy' technology, which are basically fancy gauntlets that allow him to immobilize anyone who looks at him funny. Now, you're not sure if this is true zero point energy tech- you know, the stuff that could potentially lead to free unlimited energy- or if he just chose that name to sound cool, but either way, it's full of potential!
(Reward: Research unlocked, stasis field technology unlocked, ???)
[ ] Research Greco-Roman Terraforming
DC 100
You did some more research into Stanley's notes on terraforming, and despite being entirely in an odd dialect of Greek, you managed to discern a bit of information. This is terraforming in the most literal sense- literally moving earth. Unfortunately it doesn't seem as if Stanley cracked the whole 'modify the environment to form a climate' thing just yet, but still… putting up a volcano in a short amount of time is a rather impressive feat.
(Reward: New Stewardship options unlocked)
(Rewards: Weather modification technology unlocked, significant public opinion decrease)
[ ] Environmental Adaptations (Dinosaurs)
DC 130
You may have brought them back from extinction, but as they are now, dinosaurs simply aren't suited for every situation. Minor adjustments to their DNA will change that, allowing you to make specialized dinosaur strains and subspecies for whatever comes their way! Floods, droughts, cold weather, or bullets! Where one dinosaur subtype fails, another will prevail!
(Reward: Increased effectiveness of dinosaurs in combat. Miscellaneous benefits in other areas.)

(Reward: Develop Genemod Crops unlocked)
[ ] Study weird object
DC 140, cannot assign a human or toon
The Doctor displayed some interest in a mysterious object that defied all attempts at cryptanalysis, and while you're personally not certain what benefit this could offer the company you do admit to a bit of personal curiosity.
(Reward: ???)
[ ] Research the metahuman genome
DC 160
The work done on the metahuman genome thus far has been incomplete, even among industry leaders. For years you worked for a man who said that everyone would be super.
Maybe now they can be.
(Reward: Basic understanding of superpowers; superpowers tree unlocked)
[ ] Research extradimensional tech
DC 60
The Doctor has acquired an esoteric artifact from an auction that will allegedly allow one to traverse dimensions. With recent revelations about extradimensional warlords, it may be of interest to investigate this opportunity.
(Reward: Extradimensional transport established)
[ ] Research exotic vehicles
DC 85
Lee Industries are veterans in vehicle design, both civilian and military. Integrating their best and brightest into your R&D department and letting them go wild will allow you to unleash truly inventive machines upon the world! Now that you have an example of a limo that, by all accounts, should not exist, this should be even more productive!
(Reward: Reduced DC to vehicle-related actions like mass transit, unlocks ??? when combined with sublight drives)
[ ] Research sublight drives
DC 140
The technology recovered from the Galactic Federation is in many ways decades beyond current designs. Of particular interest are their 'subluminal engines', which still outpace most of what the United States military is running with. The financial opportunities of this should be obvious.
(Rewards: Rapid deployment for your own hero units cross-country, opportunity to begin commercializing alien tech, ??? when combined with exotic vehicles)
[ ] Research Uburnium fuel
DC 130
According to some lab reports you've read, there exists a theoretical element that serves as the most efficient, abundant, and cheapest fuel in all the universe… though, of course, it seems as if none of it exists on Earth. If even half of the claims made about this element are true, it might be worth the research.
(Reward: Option to build a particle accelerator and synthesize Uburnium unlocked, option to search outer space for uburnium unlocked after a space program is developed)
[ ] Research GalFed Cloaking Tech
DC 140
The cloaking device on the GalFed ship you appropriated isn't the greatest, but it's still way beyond anything on the civilian market, and at least on par with the military's finest toys. It does have a pretty nasty power requirement though, so you're not going to be able to slap it on everything.
(Reward: Cloaking device reverse-engineered)
[ ] Psychologically profile a target
DC varies depending on target
The first step to creating a robo-doppelganger AI is creating a profile of the target. All their little nuances that make them them- what are their likes and dislikes, their voice, their inflections, the way they think and act? It's no small feat, but nobody ever said creating a robotic duplicate of someone would be easy.
-[ ] Who do you psychologically profile? Living people will be easier than dead ones, famous people easier than people with little public record, and volunteers will be even easier.
(Reward: Doppleganger of a specific person 50% done; Build physical doppleganger action unlocked)
[ ] Research Animal Uplink Suits
DC 120
Lizzy has drafted up some blueprints for the antborg armor she utilized earlier, but her handwriting is terrible and her notes are arcane. You're pretty sure that with enough effort you can make it so any animal can uplink to the armor and gain advanced strength and mobility, but you're not sure how to do that yet.
(Reward: animal uplink suits unlocked, changes ??? in the future)
[ ] Research Insect Control
DC 140
Lizzy has constructed some sort of mechanism that allows her to assume rudimentary control over nearby insects. When combined with the uplink suits, you can already imagine how effective they might become in combat, but as it stands her tech is barely out of the concept phase. With a little effort, you might turn this into something truly intimidating.
(Reward: insect control technology unlocked, ???, ???, ???)
[ ] Research Silphium
DC 90
This wondrous herb has been extinct for centuries… everywhere except Drusselstein, that is. According to some ancient literature the uses for this thing are innumerable, ranging from the culinary to the pharmaceutical. Unfortunately you've got no idea where to begin given that most of the literature on the thing is older than any modern nations. Get your scientists cracking to see if they can figure out how to best use it!
(Rewards: new research unlocked, ???, ???)
[ ] Research Zero Point Energy Technology
DC 130
One of Syndrome's most closely guarded secrets was his so-called 'zero point energy' technology, which are basically fancy gauntlets that allow him to immobilize anyone who looks at him funny. Now, you're not sure if this is true zero point energy tech- you know, the stuff that could potentially lead to free unlimited energy- or if he just chose that name to sound cool, but either way, it's full of potential!
(Reward: Research unlocked, stasis field technology unlocked, ???)
[ ] Research Greco-Roman Terraforming
DC 100
You did some more research into Stanley's notes on terraforming, and despite being entirely in an odd dialect of Greek, you managed to discern a bit of information. This is terraforming in the most literal sense- literally moving earth. Unfortunately it doesn't seem as if Stanley cracked the whole 'modify the environment to form a climate' thing just yet, but still… putting up a volcano in a short amount of time is a rather impressive feat.
(Reward: New Stewardship options unlocked)
(Rewards: Weather modification technology unlocked, significant public opinion decrease)
[ ] Environmental Adaptations (Dinosaurs)
DC 130
You may have brought them back from extinction, but as they are now, dinosaurs simply aren't suited for every situation. Minor adjustments to their DNA will change that, allowing you to make specialized dinosaur strains and subspecies for whatever comes their way! Floods, droughts, cold weather, or bullets! Where one dinosaur subtype fails, another will prevail!
(Reward: Increased effectiveness of dinosaurs in combat. Miscellaneous benefits in other areas.)
(1 Occult action this turn)
[ ] Repair the Avatar of Felldrake
DC 80
The Avatar of Felldrake got smashed by Temujin after its previous regrettable incident. Right now it's not doing much other than sitting in a warehouse, but you're pretty sure it can be put back together. You're personally a little hesitant on messing with that thing- it wasn't very helpful, after all- but Felldrake has been griping to Janna about it, and you're pretty sure that if you sit on this too long he's going to be upset.
[ ] Basic Magic Theory
DC 75
If you're going to move forward with magic on an organizational scale, you're going to need a basic understanding of what magic is. What's a cantrip, where do spells come from, what are wizards actually doing, and why?
(Reward: Study Magic personal action unlocked, look into magical people online action unlocked, hold a magical seminar action unlocked, track magical creatures action unlocked, look back through your magic stuff action unlocked, Map Leylines action unlocked, allows further magical actions)
[ ] Dance Magic Theory
DC 90
Doofenshmirtz was unable to unlock the secrets of dance combat in the heat of the witch-fighting moment, but Juniper has managed to suss out the secrets of dance magic! Perhaps the doctor would appreciate the basics mastered upon his return.
(Reward: Dance Magic personal action unlocked for Doofenshmirtz)
[ ] Search for Magical Individuals
DC 90
There's got to be other people out there who know how magic works. Now that you're sure they're not ALL quacks, you should try to see if you can find anyone who can actually be of use to you in magical tasks. Your knowledge of magic is a bit limited at the moment but hey, that's why we're looking.
(Reward: Occult hero units available for hire)
[ ] Summon Demons
DC 70
So, now that Janna has ticked 'Summon a Ghost' off the magical bucket list you've just now learned she had, the next thing in line is apparently 'summon demons'. She claims Tom 'doesn't count'.
Sigh.
What could go wrong?
(Reward: ???)
[ ] Summon Celena the Shy
DC 100
The Vagabond Ninja somehow managed to luck into summoning one of the ancient Queens of Mewni to do a tarot reading. She apparently likes you enough that she told Janna how to do it again.
(Reward: Celena the Shy performs another Mewberty Spread, ???)
[ ] Golumetric Theory
DC 85
The construction of the golem; that is, the artificial magical automaton- is now within your grasp. It's unlikely that they will be outperforming your robots anytime soon, but it could prove a useful stepping stone to broader arcane constructions.
(Reward: Repair the Avatar of Felldrake DC reduced, future Occult actions unlocked, 'Spooky Normbots' added to your PMC (no actual change in effectiveness, but if having any magic units ever becomes relevant there they are.)
[X] Form a Coven
DC 48
At some point, it might be a good idea to create some sort of organized structure to your various spellslingers. As is, you're doing things pretty bespoke. Throw together a coven, or a circle, or a bogwarts, or whatever you call an organized group of mages.
(Reward: Second Occult action unlocked, Court Wizard council position unlocked)

Quest Actions
[ ] The Best is Yet to Come
You've received an invitation to a major Olympia charity celebration to push for a once-and-for-all repeal of the SRA. While you have been trying to avoid getting close to former Kronos employees, it would be very impolitic to not send someone… and you have your own reasons to want to attend.
Several reasons.
Mirage may go on this Quest, and will be the leader if she attends. Doing so costs 2 Personal Actions. You may assign only three hero units to this quest in addition to the quest leader.
-[ ] write in assigned units
Personal Actions
You get 6 personal actions this turn.
[ ] Look Into Mr. Incredible's family
If there's one thing you regret from your time working under Kronos, it's the fate of Mr. Incredible's super family. You've spent many a night wondering what fate befell the wife, daughter and son of one of the bravest men you have ever met. Now you have the Doctor's resources, and no further justice to spend it towards, you can finally make steps towards closing that chapter of your life.
[ ] Trawl your botnets
You have a number of systems set up to monitor and affect public opinion. See if there is anything of note going viral.
[ ] Look into wayward supers
You understand the tactics involved in finding supers that shy away from the limelight. There are limits to how far you're willing to go in order to uncover a super that doesn't want to be found, but your talents might do some good. Finding a villain who needs to be stopped or a hero at the end of their rope. You'll monitor the news for anything of note and report back to Doofenshmirtz.
[ ] Reinforce Kronos Corp contacts
There are still people in Kronos… sorry, Olympia that know you, and that means there are levers to be pulled.
[ ] Recruit new talent
Dr. Heinz has a lot of contacts that he hasn't followed up on. Take the liberty of following through on a few of them and hire some new talent. (Recruit one random hero from the rolodex if a number greater than 50 is rolled.)
[ ] Engage in debates
Keeping your negotiations skills sharp requires constant practice, and that means finding someone worth debating against.
(Reward: Mirage's Diplomacy may Increase)
[ ] Update your industry standards
The field of business is continually updating to make way for new strategies and new trends in emerging markets. You need to stay sharp.
(Reward: Mirage's Stewardship may Increase)
[ ] Go undercover
A few hours spent pretending to be someone else in front of your close colleagues is a rare opportunity to keep your art of deception sharp.
(Reward: Mirage's Intrigue may Increase)
[ ] Keep up with your therapy appointments
It's good for your mental health.
[ ] Fire an employee
-[ ] Specify a Hero
(Reward: A single hero unit leaves your roster.)
[ ] Hire the Dickens Detective Agency
The Dickens are willing to work for you, hooray! Their services don't come cheap, and you'd probably want to be careful about sending them on any 'eeevil' missions. But if you pay them, their expertise will give you a free Intrigue action, and a hero to do it. You're really starting to develop a rapport with them.
-[ ] For a small (-2) income decrease, a lower level member of the Dickens family will come to aid you for a turn.
-[ ] For a medium (-5) income decrease, a veteran member of the Dickens family will aid you on an action, and likely bring some of their immediate family as well.
-[ ] For a large (-7) income decrease, the Commodore himself will complete your appointed task, and bring his entire dynasty with him.
[ ] Give a project your 'personal attention' (3 personal actions)

[ ] Do some home gardening
Sure, all the Japanese maples make the place look different from back in Spoonerville, but the concept is still the same, right? Do some gardening, take a load off, and maybe grow some food that isn't produced in a vat.
[ ] Finish your degree online
The incident at the X-Games pretty quickly put an end to your plans for a degree. Fortunately all sorts of colleges offer online degrees now, and you've got just enough time to try and finish one! Not only would this make you feel better about yourself, it might have some actual effects on your job, too! Must be completed three more times to obtain your degree.
[ ] Find Mickey
Mickey has dropped off the grid recently. Donald has too, but at least you know that he's off traveling the world with a 'goddess of adventure' or something. While you got a Christmas card from the both of them this last year, you're not sure where Mickey is, exactly. That doesn' sound like him. Now that your living situation is a little more secure you can devote some time to finding your old friend.
[ ] Look into Pete
Your old... well, maybe 'friend' is pushing it. Neighbor? Your old neighbor has dropped off the grid as well without so much as a goodbye. While that does sound like him you're sure he'd at least give you a call to gloat about something, but so far there's been no communication. Take a look into what he's doing now that his car dealership is long gone.

Norm's internal circuitry is still based around a single, fundamental, platypus hunting core. This limits his usefulness in non-platypus related areas. Attempting to rewire your own circuits is a dangerous activity, but Norm is determined to be the best Norm he can be. The better your AI technology is, the more likely this is to improve things and not make them worse.

[ ] Work on excavation tech
You had a pretty good thing going before you were forced to scrap it all, lest your technology fall into enemy hands. Now that you've been let out of villain jail on work release, you might gain some points with your boss by drafting up some plans for your rapid excavation technology. He'll still have to figure out how to decipher your notes, but at least it'll be a gesture of goodwill.
[ ] Build backup tunnels
You've still got a few antborgs left over, hiding out in your lowermost warrens. You could direct them to build an escape route out of the city, just in case the worst comes to pass. You're not keen on the idea of running away again, but with all the crazies around it's better to be safe than sorry.
[ ] Hang out with Janna
It almost feels natural to talk to a person.

You've finally met a worthy master who isn't a quack!
...well. Anyway! If you pester him enough he'll have to keep his promise to train you in the ways of ninjutsu!
[ ] Study the Mad Mojo Cookbook
There's all sorts of interesting stuff inside the Cold Shadow's second greatest treasure. You can only imagine how this will synergize with the ninja magic you've already learned!
[ ] Look for a worthy opponent
It's been too long since you've sworn vengeance on someone. Find a worthy opponent so you can find something to drive you to even greater heights!
[ ] Train the Vagabond Ninja
They're not exactly up to par with what a competent employer would expect. You should really get on that.
[ ] Train ''''''your ninja'''''' some more
Yep, just training the Vagabond Ninja. No other ninja at all. You're definitely not training anyone else secretly because if the boss finds out their heads could explode. Nope.

[ ] Study Kronos AI
Wendy's never had the chance to see what makes an Omnidroid tick before. Since she's going to be working on improving the field of robotics as a whole, it behooves you to have her caught up on what the competition is doing. Oddly, she seems quite familiar with Funtelligence work.
[ ] Talk to Trevor
Trevor seemed really upset the last time you talked. Maybe if you spoke with him again, you could get through to him on something?
[ ] Study a Robot
You have several unusual robots on staff, at least one of which might be sentient. Who knows what Wendy could uncover in figuring out how that… you know, happened.
-[ ] choose a robot
[ ] Upload more on Buzztube
Wendy may be a real scientist at last, but she still cares a lot about her work educating children. She doesn't need to keep the videos flowing anymore to put ramen on the fold-out table, but she doesn't want to leave her Woweroos behind either! Put out some more good content to help the kids of tomorrow learn to love science.
[ ] Offer Beginner Science Lessons
It's not that your job doesn't pay well. It does! Way, way better than before. But you do miss the satisfaction you get from seeing kid's faces light up about science. You can handle a couple of tutoring sessions a week.
[ ] Issue a press release on the state of AI
Now that you've collected all your findings, you can release them so the world knows what you've done! And the best part is, no one tried to steal them this time!

Gardening, Knitting, Tai Chi, Model Trains. Your hobbies allow you brief respite and control away from the insane chaos of the world around you.

The demon is still out there, and Janna's prophecy indicates that she's going after Star next.

The spiteful balls of fur and hatred made the trip across the Atlantic intact. You're not sure whether you're relieved or disappointed, but they seem to be even angrier than usual. Better take a look at them.

As a reminder, write-ins are acceptable pending QM approval, although they must be in character for Mirage. Attempts to just write in Doof's old actions will not be accepted. Just tell us the action you want to complete and we'll provide a DC, though some DCs will be unknown and presented as ???.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of our American readers, and happy Thursday to everyone else! We're working on an update to Mirage's stats that will better represent what she can do in her new position. Please stand by.
