Okay, so this turn has a bunch of things exploding all around us that need to be addressed post haste.
First and foremost, Russ. He is still lost in the Dreamscape and there is a big bad running after him. I want him back and if we half ass it, I think that we may lose him again.
Second, Olympia needs to be shored up. My preference would be to keep Winston at the helm, although Sinatron probably is an acceptable alternative at this point.
Third, DORIS is operating in our backyard. I am convinced that this needs to be handled now and not just by interrogating Goob, because if we allow the helping hats to sink their roots here... Well, best case scenario is that we get infiltrated again. Worst case probably involves NOWCA getting compromised.
Fourth, we have three items that need to be handled ASAP, because we are on a timer with all three:
-If we don't grab Hopper's, it is likely to fall in the hands of Xanatos. Xanay has an interest in the restaurant industry and we saw Doc talking with Owen Burnett in the Olympia gala.
-Artemis Fowl is looking in our general direction and he is not the type to let the grass grown under his feet. If he is interested in our copy of the book, we need to do it before it gets stolen like the ZPE technology.
-Shego is looking at the Wasteland and on the track of the Tempest Domain. I'd prefer if we could do this with Wendy available, but needs must and I'd rather not let first contact in Shego's hands.
In fifth place, we have the ticking time bomb that is San Fransokyo and the dinosaur deal with Glomgold. Both are clear concerns for the close but not immediate future. I'd say that they are secondary concerns this turn.
Lastly, some of our old plans that keep getting delayed, like the extradimensional tech, the black ops hero ball (which I don't think we can afford to make right now, given the gaps in our lineup caused by the formation of the council).
Without further ado, this is my proposal:
[] Plan: Popularity Not Guaranteed V1
-[] National Actions:
--[] [Martial] Rent out your PMC (Khan)
Martial is the same thing that everyone is doing. No originality to be had there.
--[] [Diplomacy] Recruit Cruella De Vil (Technor)
--[] [Diplomacy] Recruit Fredzilla (Max)
--[] [Diplomacy] Mandate Company Dress Codes (NOWCA)
I am not as enthusiastic about BH6 as other questers, but we are about to start poking San Fransokyo and the Yokai, so Fredzilla is a better option than most in my eyes to start preparing that angle. Moreover, the In-Crowd means that Max should be particularly suitable for recruiting Fredzilla (56 bonus in a DC70 action, before XP expenditure, if I have my numbers straight).
In regards to putting the company dress codes in the hands of NOWCA? They are the hat people, they need to be told about the hat menace, before something stupid happens and DORIS finds himself as the proud new owner of a bunch of cute critters.
--[] [Stewardship] Rebuild Sinatron (Roddy)
--[] [Stewardship] Buy out a rival corporation: Hopper Food Group (Moseby)
Personally, I'd prefer to Shore Up Olympia via negotiation with von Drake, because I like Winston better, but DC 125 is sufficiently high that ensuring a good result would require burning the collaboration offer with Martin Smarty. Conversation in the thread so far suggests that people are very reluctant to do that.
--[] [Intrigue] Root out high-level moles (Mezmerella)
--[] [Intrigue] Interrogate Michael Yagoobian (Tobe)
Not much originality here. Getting rid of the moles remains a priority and so is learning more about the hats, even if I'd prefer to have somebody less... Tobe than Tobe doing the interrogating.
--[] [Learning] Study Weird Object (Jumba)
--[] [Learning] Decode Odd Transmissions (Lizzy)
This is a combination of Learning actions that has shown in other plans. The Weird Object remains likely is the key to the Fowl plotline, while Odd Transmissions are the same for the wasteland robo-princess.
--[] [Occult] Basic Magic Theory (Janna)
--[] [Occult] Search for Agent Unknown (Gomez)
Again, it is a combination of actions that has shown in a lot of plans.
-[] Personal Actions:
--[] Doof:
---[] Accept Bellwether's Invitation
---[] Personal Attention: Search for Agent Unknown
--[] Activate Inator
I want Russ back and I want him now. Nuff said.
--[] Norm (End your obsession with platypodes)
--[] Dennis (Train with Maui Mallard)
--[] Wasabi (Organize your Workstation)
--[] Alan (Transfer files off of DoofOS)
--[] Juniper (Dance Practice)
--[] Kitsune (Visit Magical New York)
--[] Marco (Train with Macbeth)
--[] Tom (Search for Star)
--[] Max (Play some Video Games)
Well, writing this took a while. Feel free to raise objections. I'll probably make at least one variant before voting starts.
