If that's an option we should probably wait until we do the ODI. There ain't much nature in the immediate area and there's even less magic nature.
Lizzie already has a few magical bugs of her own. I was hoping having her study them would help prepare for future magical expeditions.

In particular, I was hoping she could acquire a copy of Maui's insect-shooting gun.

Rodney Hears the News
Rodney hears the News

Rodney wasn't happy.

This wasn't anything new mind you, it seemed ever since that ingrate Heinz Doofenshmirtz managed to finally defeat his nemesis and conquer the Tri-State Area, he has begun sidelining LOVEMUFFIN and more importantly, Him, ultimately culminating in him arresting him after finally giving him something worthy of his resounding intellect!

Rodney had been following DEI on the prisons dilapidated computer, often struggling to run DoofOS. Why, if Rodney hadn't insisted on making sure the operating system could run on hardware from 1997, he was certain they'd still be using the Grid. Yet another thing Doofenshmirtz had refused to admit was a stellar move! Sure, that Alan guy nearly drove his head through his desk in frustration when he was told about Rodney's magnificent achievement, but such is the fate of simpletons who somehow find themselves in a position far above their actual level of competency!

The events that had transpired since his arrest had been a mix bag. On one hand seeing things like the Super-powered cats attacking his city and meat monsters rampaging throughout it were greatly amusing, but it seemed for every bad thing that happened to Heinz, the doctor would perform a personal attack against LOVEMUFFIN themselves! First, he'd send that Simpleton who couldn't even comprehend the genius LOVEMUFFIN had brought unto the world with DoofOS, work with Olympia to make a new OS! A Replacement for the greatest accomplishment LOVEMUFFIN had brought to the company, a task so far below them that they brought up to their heights! Dr. Dimunutive almost fainted when he heard the news! Then, the new kid (Ok, man in like, his early 50s or something) in LOVEMUFFIN who had the gall to miss the "Last Hurrah of LOVEMUFFIN" as the locals called it got Hired and put on a... well the news reports weren't entirely sure, but you figured it had something to do with that magic stuff Heinz refused to let you near since Gomez seemed interested in studying that. Finally, while put on ice he made it so his inner circle included two of the people Rodney hated almost as much as Doof himself, Janus and Ludivine. Sure, his secretary Ms Pena was the one to actually choose who went on the council, but the fact two idiots such as them got on while he was left to rot in prison was obviously a jab!

Rodney began to fondly remember the many, many revenges he'd gotten on Janus and Ludivine. That time he borrowed Alan's computer on his sick day last January to sneak a message into DoofOS' Command Console that compared the Duck negatively to him (He still doesn't understand why Alan was so upset when his first attempt at a firewall failed and he had to make a new one over it), or when he slipped Clorox into some petridishes Janus was using with that blubbery fool Jumba, cleaning the Cat Skin Samples and putting the Cat-Inazor (since why else would they be scanning kitten DNA) they were making on hold!

Rodney knew Ludivine was having a company livestream over her latest research project, and he used his old login information on the company website to get access to it. His derision turned to confusion then outright glee as it dawned on him exactly what was happening on screen. Ludivine, the fool, had decided to experiment with Flubber in a meeting room. He heard the boom in real time just as the livestream crashed from the explosion.

This was amazing, it was exciting, soon, she would realize what the doctor DOES to those who break his things, she'd be thrown in the cell next to his, no, she'll be tossed into Impel Duck itself! Doofenshmirtz will never be able to admit to allowing her to do this, he'd prioritize saving his own hide and...

"Se terminaron sus 15 minutos Señor Rodney"

Oh drat Killbot was right, his computer time for the day was over, he'd have to wait til tomorrow to see what fate the feathered fool had brought upon herself and DEI.

The next day Rodney quickly checked the news articles on the computer, ecstatic to see the mugshot of the Duck only to find that Heinz shielded her! He claimed it was his reckless handling of the substance and their research of it that caused the explosion, and Ludivine was merely the girl who pured the glass! This was outrageous! It was unfair! How could she break his things, and not get tossed into jail with the rest of them!

He quickly took a seat and began to ponder, and realized yes, of course, it was so infallibly simple. Ludivine never experimented with Flubber on her own volition, she and the Doctor were working together to get his hopes up just to dash them. Rodney began to plot, and came with a plan of unparalleled cunning.

As Rodney was being taken out of what was left of his cell after his Flubber-Inazor exploded taking down an entire wall and began being walked to the Armored Car preparing to take him to Impel Duck he called out to the Warden of the Jail who was also getting a transfer to another facility sometime soon. "Curse you Louis Walker the Prison Warden, Curse You!"

[X] Close Ranks. Ludivine's experiment is considerably less public than previously stated. Focus on making sure Ludivine gets out of this and keeping her reputation clear.

Sidenote: Not to grudge up old drama now that the matter's resolved, but I really don't get where all the "oh, bad stuff keeps happening" stuff is coming from. From where i'm standing, we've been doing pretty good since Kataclysm. Sure, we've still run into problems, but they haven't been that bad. We had a major Quest last turn, sure, but it ended pretty darn well for us all things considered. I have hope for the future, despite this massive confluence of thankfully-averted bad luck.

When we heard about Toffee, we didn't abandon Janna to her fate, despite the world-eating monstrosity hanging over her head. When we heard Jumba was being held by the GalFed, we didn't leave him to rot, despite the alien circumstances. When Janus stole funding from us, we told him that all he needed to do was ask permission. When Mirage admitted to murder, we looked her in the eye and told her she still had a place, here at DEI.

And when we froze ourself on live television, for two months, without notifying anybody in advance that we would be gone, nobody in the entire company turned their back on us.

Doofenschmirtz Evil Incorporated is a lot of things, and many more things can be said about it. But no one can accuse us of not taking care of our own.

...I know, uh, basically everyone was voting for this already, but, I'm contractually obligated to give a rousing speech on the power of friendship and the goodness of nakama in this Quest once every few months, and I've kind of been missing for the past year? Yeah, got something of a backlog built up.

We're not just a company, we're a family. And family means unconditional acceptance, no matter how many murders a relative may or may not have committed and then framed you for, as my Aunt Sheila can tell you!

"Our own" includes Danville.
