[] Plan Blue Actions for The Future - Mirage Not on Quest Variant

-[] National Actions:

--[] [Martial] Loan deniable assets (Genghis Khan)
---[] Loan questionable assets

We really need income ASAP (not an increase in yearly income, but actual money in hand) in order to buy Hopper Food Group to get the thing that the QMs have said they want us to get that will be going away soon.


--[] [Diplomacy] Recruit the cream of the crop (Goofy)
--[] [Diplomacy] Expand into Foreign Markets: Japan (Kitsune)

Kitsune seems like a great fit to enter the Japanese market and we were promised it would be funny!


--[] [Stewardship] Corporate restructuring (Wasabi)
--[] [Stewardship] Cook the Books (Roddy Blair)

These are very useful actions. Wasabi especially as an organization mastermind on corporate restructuring seems like a match… made in heaven. Cooking the books is legal stuff only, technically speaking.

--[] [Intrigue] Track down Kat: ACME Unlimited (Wile E. Coyote)
--[] [Intrigue] Investigate the theft of the Declaration of Independence (Monogram)

We're locked in.

--[] [Intrigue] Hunt for Moles (Tobe)

Mirage said we NEED to hunt the high-level moles NOW. Tobe is our best available intrigue unit to do so. This is our ONE SHOT to get rid of the moles.

--[] [Learning] Research with the Imagination Institute
---[] Study Emergent Robotics (Wendy Wower)

Sadly no permission to study Doofenshmirtz, but this should be good especially with a hero unit from the Imagination Institute's help.

--[] [Learning] Research extradimensional tech (Queen Lizzie)

Screw crit fishing. Let's get this done now, out of the way, and fulfill our promise to Janna.

--[] [Occult] Form a Coven (Gomez)

We're locked in.

-[] The Best Is Yet to Come
--[] Technor (Leader)
--[] Juniper
--[] Mezmerella
--[] Dennis

-[] Personal Actions:

--[] Mirage:
---[] Keep up with your therapy appointments
---[] Update your industry standards
---[] Look Into Mr. Incredible's family
---[] Give a project your 'personal attention' (3 personal actions)
----[] Write In: Hunt for Moles

--[] Norm Prime (Ask Wendy for help with ending your platypode obsession)

We had a lot of success last turn with giving Norm a write in action, giving him something unique to attempt should be more interesting and more rewarding than just trying to become a real boy.

Here are a few write-in ideas, let me know what you think.

Ask Wendy for help with ending your platypode obsession
Escort Vanessa to SFIT
Send him on the Quest?

If attempting to rewrite his own circuits is dangerous, why not ask for help?

--[] Max (Play some video games )
--[] Janna Ordonia (Work for Brocamas)

(Reward: Possible further contacts in the Magus Bazaar, Janna may obtain new magical items)

Last time she studied magic, Kitsune and Feldrake both agreed that Janna needs a magical focus to continue her development into a proper witch. Doing this personal action seems like our best potential option for Janna to get a magical focus

--[] Jumba (Work with Janus on ???)
--[] Janus Lee (Work on ??? with Jumba)

YES! Finally.

--[] Ludivine von Drake (Instruct your Coworkers)
---[] Gomez

The benefits of this roll will change depending on the aptitude and temperament of the hero unit, as well as how much of a difference there is between Ludivine's stats and theirs.

As was discussed earlier here, Gomez has a masters in quackery. Furthermore, the benefits of the roll change depending on the aptitude and temperament of the hero unit. He's perfectly suited for the tutoring. A big gap between their learning scores, a love and appreciation for science, and no ego to get in the way

Furthermore, every increase in learning also increases his effective occult and if he gets his learning into the 30's he becomes a decent second stringer for learning actions if needed in a pinch.

--[] Malifishmertz (Attend the coven meetings)

Half Malifishmertz attend the coven meetings that Gomez is setting up seems like a fine write in personal action.

--[] Marco Diaz (Train with Macbeth)
--[] Tom Lucitor (Rule The Underworld)

He's reasonably close to finishing this, 2-3 more rolls away.

-[] Item Assignments:
--[] Ruby Wings: Coyote should still have the wings from last turn, not Vanessa. Guess let him keep it for Kat.
--[] Potion of Haste (Technor: Build giant robot legs)

Here is a quick summary of my plan:

[] Plan Blue Actions for The Future - Questing Mirage Variant

--[] Juniper
--[] Mezmerella

-[] Personal Actions:
--[] Mirage:
---[] Keep up with your therapy appointments
---[] Update your industry standards

---[] Reinforce Kronos Corp contacts
---[] Quest (2 PA)

--[] Dennis the Duck (Train with Maui Mallard)
--[] Norm Prime (Ask Wendy for help with ending your platypode obsession)
--[] Max (Play some video games )
--[] Janna Ordonia (Work for Brocamas)
--[] Jumba (Work with Janus on ???)
--[] Janus Lee (Work on ??? with Jumba)
--[] Ludivine von Drake (Instruct your Coworkers)
---[] Gomez
--[] Malifishmertz (Attend the coven meetings)
--[] Marco Diaz (Train with Macbeth)
--[] Tom Lucitor (Rule The Underworld)

-[] Item Assignments:
--[] Ruby Wings: Coyote should still have the wings from last turn, not Vanessa. Guess let him keep it for Kat.
--[] Potion of Haste (Technor: Build giant robot legs)

For the Mirage on Quest variant, I could see Dennis going on the quest or Mezmerella going on the quest similarly and could be convinced to swap them.


Final Notes
  • I would be willing to drop the Mole personal attention on the non-quest variant and have Mirage do 6 personal actions.
  • Please, other plan makers, note my write-in personals!
    • --[] Malifishmertz (Attend the coven meetings)
    • --[] Norm Prime (Ask Wendy for help with ending your platypode obsession)

I would like to hire Bushroot.

He brings incredibly strong stats and a very useful (and quite rare) powerset and learning specialty to the table. He fits really well into research categories we've already been pursuing and opens new ones. Plant hybridization would offer all sorts of medical and superpower possibilities, and he'd absolutely crush all the genemod crops stuff, plus offer all kinds of new sentient plant options I would expect.

Now, it would certainly be a risk. The most notable problem is the baggage his past crimes bring with him. He's got a body count and was part of Negaduck's Fearsome Five. I do not deny that that's some serious baggage and a nasty rap sheet.

However, I don't think Bushroot himself would be much of a problem as hero units go. Compared to the rest of the Fearsome Five, who did crimes either for completely nonsensical reasons or just out of sheer insanity, Bushroot had pretty predictable and sane motivations. First, he wanted love and friendship - second, he wanted to fund his research and experiments - and third, he was a hardcore environmentalist. The lengths he went to fulfill these needs dipped absurdly into criminal, but these are still needs that we can accomodate and use to keep him under control. By funding his research, keeping like-minded types like Jumba and Janus around him who wouldn't care so much about his past for companionship, and continuing to push our Greevil policies, I think we could keep Bushroot satisfied and loyal in a way that simply wouldn't be possible for the rest of the Five.

There are definitely counterarguments to be made and I don't deny it's risky, but I think it's a manageable and controllable risk, and one with benefits worth taking it for.
 
--[] [Diplomacy] Expand into Foreign Markets: Japan (Kitsune)

Kitsune seems like a great fit to enter the Japanese market and we were promised it would be funny!
I said I thought it'd be funny since one is a kitsune and the other is a kitsune. No promises on how it'll pan out or even if an interlude will be called for, though Kitsune is the smartest pick for the action for numerous reasons.

Could it be funny? Sure, I hope so. Will it? Probably. Is it guarenteed? Nah. The chance will likely raise if some Samurai Pizza Cats omakes are made beforehand.

I have been convinced more so on putting Mirage on the quest, made some minor adjustments to this variant and I think this is what I will be moving forwards with. Check the above post to see reasoning for various assignments.

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.

A bit confused here is there no more continuation of "Feldrake's World Tour"?
 
Is there anything in the imagination collab that might help russ?

We got hints they were a avenue to helping him but unless I'm mistaken none of them seem useful in that regard.

I...

"I'm glad to hear you say that. Based on what I know of Doctor Doofenshmirtz, I should be very happy to see him working more closely with us. I sense a Spark in him, and there is much we could discover together, I think."

"Well, that's real kind 'a ya ta say, Mr. Mercurial!"

"Now now." The man replied. "For toons, and anyone else in need of… special solutions, I have another name you may know me by."

"Hmm?"

"If you have need of me, you may call me as… The Dreamfinder."

With that, Mercurial gave a kind nod, turned on his heel, and went back through the doors.

Stewardship Check: Notice ???
DC 50
42+16+7=65
Success!

Goofy watched him go, turning down another hallway and disappearing around a corner. But just as he left, Goofy could have sworn he saw a flash of something… purple?

Ah well.

Must have imagined it.

Let's go with maybe.

So could poking at Doof's head reveal some memories being suspiciously missing and/or altered? Specifically ones relating to a certain Government Agent?

If we're gonna hire any of the Fearsome Five, Bushroot would be the best option. Even post-transformation, he's the sanest (heck, he's not even really a supervillain in terms of self-identity: he has an actual motive beyond being evil, and Bushroot isn't even a codename, that's just his actual last name), he's gentle and caring towards his plant minions, and his crimes were usually either theft to fund his research, protecting plants, or him trying to deal with his crippling loneliness: not good, but Doof himself has done worse. With a few months of therapy to help him deal with his obsessive tendencies and lack of impulse control, I could see him turning over a new leaf (Heck, he, uh, DID in the comics, I belive), but, wel....He is still a murderer (in fact, oddly, he's the only member of the Fearsome Five with an actual ONSCREEN kill to his name), and, given our status as a Toon rights advocate, hiring a Toon who is a known murderer is probably not a good idea for our PR. Sure, he's probably less evil then, say, Khan, but he's a lot more likely to get heat on us.

--[x] Mirage (Recruit at an SFIT Career Fair)
53

Mirage rounded up a gaggle of promising interns at the SFIT Career Fair. While you're a little disappointed you didn't find any super geniuses or anything, these interns should really help you out on all sorts of your projects.

Internship Program: +2 to corporate stewardship rolls
Does the Internship Program apply this turn?
 
From Discord:

Arathnorn while you're here just wanted to check that Say Please applies to national actions?
Arathnorn said:
Yes. Also please post that in the thread. You can quote me.
Confirmation that Say Please applies to national actions. So we also have a increased buffer that we can use on our intrigue rolls even if we decide to go for the extra intrigue action.
For reference say please:
Say Please: All Bare Failures on Intrigue rolls will be treated as Bare Successes instead.
 
Titanomachy: Mirage has insider knowledge, albeit outdated, of Kronos Corp's inner workings. She has +10 to all Diplomacy, Stewardship, or Intrigue rolls against Kronos Corporation or its successor Olympia Corp. This action procs on quests.

She should probably go on the quest.

The issue is she would have to be quest leader, and her stats for it are way worse than TECHNOR's. If she could be the woman in the chair with Technor in charge she'd be perfect but we don't have that option
