I'm...not sure what Genghis Khan can contribute to constructing the Security Bunkers mechanically, so that seems an odd choice in retrospect...

Huh, Genghis Khan did have a moving palace, it's unintuitive, but...maybe if Coyote chipped in...Comedized Moving Bunkers? A major tactic Genghis Khan used was to confuse his enemies...any thoughts?
He may not know how to build the bunkers, but we have people for that. And his strategic mind and experience in siege warfare is perfect for figuring out the logistics.
 
Come on people, cough up! Empty out your piggy banks, sock drawers, or wherever else you've been storing XP! It would be reeeeeaaaally embarrassing to have to go bail out Cruella from jail after she gets arrested for breaking into a potato chip company!

Would like to help, but I am pretty sure I got no XP left
Sure, the Tracker says I got 100 left after all expenses, but that doesn´t "track" with me to my knowledge only having 900 banked in total - 200 each for Kernellumper blurb/Power Armor model as well as 500 for "Not the Discovery!"

@Made in Heaven @Argidoll

Any idea what´s up with that discrepancy?

-[x] Exercise Right of First Refusal

You swooped in to buy up shares in DaedelOS the moment you heard the news, successfully shutting ENCOM out of having monetary control of any aspect of the program, free and clear. ENCOM is not likely to be terribly happy about this, but it was all above-board and Winston has confirmed that there are no hard feelings. You are now in full control of DaedelOS once again… and perhaps just in time, too.

Alan seems quietly appreciative of your choice, and you've noticed him being considerably more relaxed since the news went public. Perhaps he's finally secure in the thought that you're unlikely to be working with ENCOM anytime soon.

Outcome:
Lose 5 Funds
Gain 1 Income
DaedelOS reverts to your full control.
Alan gains +10 loyalty.

-[x] National Actions:
--[x] [Martial] Construct Security Bunkers (Khan)
DC 90 (99% CoS) (CF 1% CS 9%)
79+21(Doof)+55 (Khan)-20 (Artifact of the Past)+12(Council)+11(Loyalty)+9 (XP)=167
Great Success

Khan oversaw the construction of FEMA-approved bunkers at critical locations around the city, judging them on their tactical positioning and how easy they would be to defend from incoming forces. While most of your council is doubtful they'll ever be tested against an actual invading army, you've got some very nice security options in place if a large-scale natural disaster ever hits.

Or, of course, a large-scale supervillain attack.

Outcome: Casualties reduced.

--[x] [Diplomacy] Set up a lobby (Kermit)
DC 120 (61% CoS) (4% CF 6% CS)

Success

The men and women of the beltway have never seen a lobbyist quite like Mr. the Frog. He's green, for one thing. Thankfully, interacting with senators is not really that different from interacting with producers, and his straightforward, polite, and honest demeanor has attracted the cautious interest of the more idealistic inhabitants of Washington, even as more pragmatic political animals become convinced they can outmaneuver an amphibious one.

You now have a line to most of the senators and representatives and secretaries and whatevers of the states in which you operate- you know, the ones who refuse to agree with you on them being part of Doofania now- Besides Wyoming Senator Rotten, who you apparently paid off to perform the Doofanian National Anthem when you weren't looking. In addition to the locals, Kermit has also caught the eye of New York senator Eric Matthews. Matthews is a recently elected senator who joined the race following his successful mayorship of St. Upidtown, the town that remembers the period, and won the election following a school funding scandal that saw the incumbent plummeting in the polls. While young, naive, unqualified, and so on, Kermit followed up on a lead from Janus Lee listing him as 'pliable', and found him a delightful young man whose policies were 'as agreeable as they were, vague… hmmh'.

Outcome: Corporate and Diplomatic actions to lobby the government for various laws and policies unlocked. Many of these will cost money.

--[x] [Diplomacy] Form a Research Agreement with the Zaibatsu (Quirky Miniboss Squad)

Success

Technor and Juniper had an easy enough time setting up meetings with Liv and Judy, but Gomez had a devil of a time getting to talk with Trevor. Either way, they have returned with a folder filled with proposals that the Zaibatzu would, in some form, be happy to work with you on. You're beginning to develop something of a reputation for collaborating with California's conglomerates.

You will be expected to commit to a research agreement with a Zaibatsu head next turn. Not fulfilling this contract will result in penalties. Options will be included in the next turn phase.

--[x] [Stewardship] Implement new dinosaur exhibits (Roddy)
DC 140 (82% CoS) (2% CF 8% CS)
63+24(Doof)+29 (Roddy)+15 (Roddy trait)+13 (Council)+2(Loyalty)+10(XP)=156
Success

The name of the game was 'crunch time' as construction crews at Doofrasic Park worked double shifts and pulled twelve hour workdays in order to implement the new dinosaur exhibits within the time allowed. The end result is the dinosaurs being debuted to an eager public ahead of schedule, all at the low low cost of a few weeks of overtime.

Glomgold would approve, assuming you recoup the investment.

And don't mention the overtime.

Outcome: -2 Funds, Doofrasic Park income increases by 2.

Glomgold is likely to be interested in expanding this into a proper Industry…

Monogram saw fit to take the company retreat to Vegas in a move that surprised very few and delighted the compulsive gamblers in your workforce. With suites rented out at some of the ritziest hotels in the city and a gambling stipend enough for a night or two on the town, DEI is in for a week of glitz and glamor.

Outcome: Vote on personal actions in an upcoming post.

??? Success!
Secondary DC revealed: DC150

Cruella was not very pleased that her next assignment was to infiltrate a potato chip company in the squalid wasteland that was Ohio. While she completed her assignment without much trouble- you've got a feed of their potato chip plant doing normal potato chip things-, she certainly has not stopped complaining about it. She insists that she is a fashion designer, not a food industry spy, no matter how good she was at it or how fabulous she looked while doing it. The data was left unsecured on the laptop of company president and subsidiary owner Reilly O'Reilly, of Emerald Isle potato chips. She also mentioned that said computer was two inches tall, which she thought you might find interesting.

Oh, also it was a trap. Well. Not a trap exactly. Nobody had a hidden laser waiting to blast her away the second she stepped on a pressure plate. Rather, the relatively unsecured data was watched by a keylogger put in place to gauge the capabilities and track the operations of whoever came knocking while making them think they were getting the information scot free. While she did trip the keylogger, altering its owner that you had passed through, she also had the sense to copy the computer's entire contents to an external drive, allowing your own coders and engineers to get a look at the thing.

Your spy networks then began tracing Solanaceae's own investors through half a dozen countries and shell corporations, finally landing on the individual you are pretty sure is the real owner of the company.

The culprit is an Irish business mogul, old money, with significant connections to the general European underworld. Given the acquisitions that Solanaceae has been slowly making in recent days, it seems he intends to expand in some manner to the New World.

You have no idea what Artemis Fowl II wants with digitization.

Or, apparently, you.

Outcome: LUMINES algorithms obtained. Hidden DC 150 passed. You are aware Fowl Industries is behind Solanaceae and the theft of the LUMINES digitization codes, and has been keeping an eye out to see who comes knocking.

Fowl Industries has been added to your infiltration list.

You now have a working Digitizer.

Quest: Let's Get Digital unlocked.

Alan Bradley seemed oddly pensive when he was informed you'd acquired the codes… perhaps he had something to do with the program?

Cruella insists that she is above menial jobs like this and will be quite unhappy should you continue to assign her inelegant or demeaning (by her definition) tasks. She does not take any loyalty penalties for now.

Fate is ill, but fate is yours.

Choose 2 failures:
Unplanned: Russ returns, unable to find what you need. No information gained. Action DC reduced by half. Time is running out.
A Frightful Sight: Russ beholds the full malice of Negaduck in the Mindscape. He will not be able to use Tooned Out or Just a Dream for 3 turns. He will also refuse to enter the Mindscape for this time.
That Reminds Me of a Joke: Negaduck does not do anything to harm Russ or you. He gets Creative instead.

Bare Success

You had a real devil of a time on this one, even after discussing things with Liv for a few weeks. Real smart cookie, that one. Nice too. Davenport Industries and Cyberbiotics had both been well respected names in cybernetics for quite some time, with functional, if not modern, prosthetics dating back decades, while both DEI and Sycorax lack the industrial base or necessary knowledge to leap headfirst into their market. Right as it seemed you were about to run up against a brick wall, the answer came to Liv in a flash of inspiration, and you got to work! The end result is a somewhat boring but very efficient material design for new biochips that will virtually eliminate any rejection problems and completely remove the need for immunosuppressants that stop glial cell buildup.

That's what Liv said, anyway.

To make eight weeks of sleepless nights and triple espressos short, you've made a design for something that the full-time cybernetics companies will buy up in droves, make physical-neural interfaces far easier, and make the both of you a nice profit.

Outcome: +2 funds, you are now [Marginal] in [Healthcare].

The Board is pleased.

Options to develop the New Man project will be expanded once it begins. Option to bring Liv into the New Man project available, assuming nothing changes before then.

Success

Jumba had a very easy time unraveling the human genome, having done it several times before with quite a few additions of his own. While he would have very much preferred to revamp things entirely from the ground up instead of "repairing" already existing damage, a small army of interns have kept him on track enough to assemble his findings for the FDA. Gen-U-Tech might've beaten DEI to the punch on this, but it makes our results no less impressive- and no less marketable.

Outcome: Corporate actions to invest into [Healthcare] unlocked

--[x] [Occult] Track magical creatures (Tobe)
DC 85 (64% CoS) (4% CF 6% CS)
57+4(Doof)+15(Tobe)+19(Council)+1(Loyalty)+10(XP)=106
Great Success

Tobe spent several weeks traipsing about the wilderness, hunting for Fearsome Critters and the like that make your territory home. After several maulings, he's happy to report on the following creatures he has personally met and in several cases been trampled by.

Wampus Cat- Chased the Vagabonds up a tree
The Wampus Cat is a sort of magical wildcat that ranges across most of the American continent. It has six limbs, purple skin that blends in supernaturally well with the natural dusk in which they are active, and can easily be mistaken for a panther in low light. They are also amphibious, and are capable of breathing water as easily as air. Jumong got a few samples of the Wampus Cat's hair (it got a few samples of his as well) and he thinks that he can make something useful out of it.

Potion of Invisibility added to your Items.

Augerino- Collapsed a cave on Binggure; he made whoopee cushion noises
The Augerino is a 3-foot long wormlike creature with a sharp horn capable of burrowing through stone and concrete, often causing cave-ins in the process. It also secretes a silicate slime which solidifies and reinforces its own burrows.

Jing-Jing scraped a bit of slime off of Binggure's broken legs and returned it to your construction corps, who believe it to be a useful way to fast-cast foundations. You sent some interns out to capture the thing a week later; they did so easily as it is, in fact, a worm.

Augerino added to items list; +5 to non-public construction actions. On a critical failure, item is always destroyed (in addition to other results)

Mogollon Monsters- Threw rocks at Tobe, threw rocks into Grand Canyon, threw Tobe into Grand Canyon
The rather offensively named 'Monsters' appear to be a tribe of bigfoot-ish peoples who migrate around the various geographical features surrounding the Grand Canyon on a seasonal basis, most notably the Mogollon Ridge. Unfortunately previous abuse from colonialism has made them hostile to outsiders, which you know given the well-spoken critiques of American exceptionalism which they delivered to Tobe along with the rocks, and delivered to the Grand Canyon along with Tobe.

There is a tribe of Bigfeet living in southern Utah; they do not like visitors.

Piasa-Bucked Tobe off several times after he attempted to mount the creature; bound Jumong with tail and trampled with claws
The Piasa Bird is a large griffon-like creature that, if mythology is anything to go by, largely lives in the Mississippi Basin; which is why it seems rather strange to see one as far out as Wyoming. That's definitely one for exotic bird bingo. It has large, multi-pointed horns, a shaggy, manelike beard of fur, plumage of green, red and black, golden fur, and a ropelike prehensile tail nearly three times as long as the rest of its body. Khan has taken an interest in these rumors.

Hunt the Piasa action unlocked for Khan

Lake Nose Monster- ELUDES ME STILL
Tobe has completely convinced himself that Danville's Lake Nose has a sea monster living in it. You've tried to convince him that this is just rumors, but he won't listen to you.

Surely nothing will come of this.

Slide-Rock Bolter- Crushed Vagabonds in mudslide

The Slide-Rock Bolter is a massive eel-y type thing with a mouth big enough to admit a minivan. It spends its time hooking itself onto the crests of steep Colorado hills, waiting for prey to pass by below. When it senses its prey, which consists of elk, deer, and tourists, it detaches from the crest and slides down the hill in an artificial rockslide, devouring whatever waits below.

You uh… you can't really think of a good use for these things, to be honest. Roger is closing a few mountain trails early this year, you guess?

Unicorn Stallions- Trampled Tobe again, played rave music, Tobe briefly arrested
It turns out that a few unicorns seem to have hidden themselves amongst the great stallion herds of the Wyoming plains, which are a thing that do technically still exist. They seem to be being watched over by the fish and wildlife service, as Tobe found out following the unicorns getting him arrested by game wardens (charges were dropped when it became clear Tobe suspected 'poaching' to be some kind of fish), so you have to assume they're supposed to be there. Also they played rave music for some reason? Magic is weird.

You are now aware of a small unicorn population in the area.

There are a handful of magical creatures living quietly and peacefully in Danville itself, but the population is as yet small enough to be unnotable. Most of them live the way Kitsune does, quietly renting out a private room and keeping to themselves.

In the end, the Vagabonds dragged their bodies and their casts back into DEI after a successful hunt.

Only to immediately see what Mr. Moseby had done to the lobby.

Outcome:
Potion of Invisibility added to your Items.
Augerino added to items list; +5 to non-public construction actions. On a critical failure, item is always destroyed (in addition to other results).
Hunt the Piasa action unlocked for Khan.
You are now aware of a handful of magical creatures and peoples in your backyard.

DC 75 (58% CoS) (4% CF 6% CS)
9+4(Doof)+19(Council)+10 (XP)=42
Pathetic Failure

Malifishmirtz's 'attempts' at actually mapping ley lines were about as unimpressive as they can get. You don't even know that much about ley lines and even you can see how much he was metaphorically phoning it in, much of his work amounting to scrawling a few lines over the map of the United States that you had provided. He was very surly about this when you asked, insisting that 'no one really knows about ley lines', and how this 'new country' is uncharted territory and anyone being asked to do it would have failed, just like he did!

Malf is upset, but takes no opinion change.

Hm. OK. The Negaduck failure HURTS, but at least Russ isn't likely to die. But...I have no Idea what to go with. Want to avoid the Dream Queen, obviously, but past that...Hm...What does "when the full moon wanes" mean? If it refers to Negaduck, it might mean we need to get Russ's secrets before Negaduck strikes, lest things go south. Hm...I have no idea what to do....UGH, this sucks. Unplanned seems the least likely to screw us over, but it would give us only a turn to do anything, something else would give us info but risks either Russ dying, one of our best Anti-Negaduck units being unavailable going into a crisis, or....Eurgh.

He will not be able to use Tooned Out
Did this mean Tooned In?

A Frightful Sight is the least bad, we take that. Loosing traits for a turn isn't the worst that will happen.

We need the information. Unplanned isn't an option.

So we either take Negaduck's chaos or get ready to deal with the Dream Queen

A hard one. Dream Queen is obviously out, but what of the others? Frightful Sight causes the least immediate damage, but I fear the consequences of Rus lacking his abilities when Negaduck attacks. Unplanned is the least damaging overall, but we oh god the action economy!

Free usage of Personal Attention. As in, next turn, we get to use our Personal Attention, but...For free. Also, I don't know if it's a time out, but if they meant tooned out, not tooned in...Then that's pretty manageable. Russ's Tooned In is still very useful...Hrm. I don't want to go with That Reminds Me Of a Joke, but Unplanned means we'd have no time to prepare, although it would give us higher chances of success on the second attempt, and....EURGH! If we could just pick one, it'd be fine, but...Ugh. The good news is, if we go with #1, we could just try again, with our free PA, but....That means we'd have ONE TURN to prepare, if not less...Eurgh....

The absolute funniest thing about this is that otherwise this was an immaculate turn. Only a bare failure on an Intrigue action and a easily made up loss on a corporate action meanwhile everything else had amazing successes including hitting a hidden DC?

People would normally kill for this kinda turn.

We decided to do "Let's Get Dangerous", I think we should continue to take the fight against Negaduck by taking Frightful sight and that reminds me of a joke. We need that info to take him down.
