] Work with Janus on ???
Inexplicably, human Janus has proven insightful and personable! This has never happened before! Perhaps humanity is not mere country bumpkin race. Some of these ideas he is having could be collaborated into major project..
I don't see any way this could go horribly wrong[ ] Work on ??? with Jumba
It's a little hard to believe that you've made a friend in your alien coworker, and he's even better at genetics than you are! Maybe it's time to bring that up...
We can only do one, Wile E's locked into one of our intrigue actions this turn.So we should probably set up the internal security group and search for moles while we can. I don't see these opportunities returning anytime soon.

[ ] 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.
[ ] 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?
What's wrong with training the Dakota army?Some very interesting personals this time.
Look... I know these are probably a bad idea.
But I really want to do them anyway.
😈
Judging solely by the text colors, whatever is going on with Trevor is even worse.
Send him on the Quest. He's a robot, hypnosis probably won't work.Judging solely by the text colors, whatever is going on with Trevor is even worse.
Anyways, those sound interesting, but I really think we should let TECHNOR, THE MECHANICAL MAN work on his robot body. His therapist skills have been incredibly helpful, but we should really give him some personal time, you know? Let him indulge himself a little.
[ ] 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
For those of you who skimmed, Janus Lee did not turn himself into a crazy lizard man in DoofQuest. It's just something that could theoretically occur since it happened in the show. He also toyed around with replacing key politicans and heads of industry with New Man but never got around to it either.For context, for those who don't know anything about A.T.O.M., Janus Lee is a transhumanist. He wants to create an uplift where people can genetically improve themselves into a superior species, better capacity for thinking, learning, physical improvements, the works. His plan was that it would be voluntary, but because the uplift would be so much better than being a normal human it'd eventually lead to humanity's replacement with its created superior. He then tested it on himself. As it turns out, he screwed the pooch somewhere and turned into a crazy person. Also a lizard, but that was already in the design so it doesn't really count. Jumba being added onto the project would be something. At the very least, he's a better geneticist than Lee ever was or will be, so mistakes aren't as likely. In theory.
My highest priority this turn is doing Decode Transmissions. Only 110 dc, and first contact with a King.
I know, and it sucks, but I think we should look for moles. Also I want to take mirage's personals to boost her stats, she's already a solid prince and these options don't come around every day.We can only do one, Wile E's locked into one of our intrigue actions this turn.
Por que no los tres? I'm assuming it'll be a quest.
Now we know what the time sink for a less than 50 positive(?) inator. Good to know."Huh, maaaaybe? That sounds like, at least six months of work. But I could do!"
Yay.
Rejoining the government will be a lot easier in about 36 turns."What made you decide you wanted to study psychology?"
She looks at you for a moment.
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
I trust Mirage's judgment more than my own.
AI rights + make MCP illegal.
JAPAN. We are getting all the Pizza Cats.
We are freezing Doof again.
Kat will not occur again.
Rich people stuff!
Mirage is bad with Toons.
Heinz is to used to folks getting migraines when they try and steal his secrets.
Go forth Max, and learn the secrets of Nighstone's coffee!
We won't get a chance like this again until Vanessa returns.
Woo!
Love this line.
Thank you.
We need Heinz's sane stewardship skill so we can get some of this extra PA goodness.
Drat.
-[] With CJ?
Let the man do his reverse lizardmen conspiracy. So long as he understands he can't escape this corporate hellscape we'll be fine.
Red and Bold.
Gomez is the best.
Yep.Wait.
Gomez is locked into doing the coven action again, right?
No, I don't think so. It's the height of bad questing to put trap options, and we are not led by a bad QM.It does bring up a question.
Are these trap options?
I don't think for a second that we would be given choices that only hurt us so there must be a benefit to doing them.
Maybe they are more risky options but there must be something to them and reasons for us to pick them otherwise they will just sit there forever.
