So we're clear, that wasn't Negaduck attacking Toffee's crops. The mention of Cedric, implies it's actually Lord Phobos, Toffee's main rival in the dimensional wars.
...That transparent part right under "Something has been sped up" wasn't there before, right?

Remember two things.
Now that we know who it is, we get an ultra-effective special project to deal with them.
Problem is, we have ONE turn to do it.
Personally I'm hoping for the electric man, because he seems easiest to disable, just shut down the power, and don't give him any Normbots to suck up. Second easiest best would be Bushroot actually, because going full greevil to get that +20 diplo to convince him to not attack us would be great, but also because it's an excuse to get some more environmentally friendly stuff up. It'd be a nice little public opinion boost and I love me a mystery box that ??? intrigues me.
Our second-highest Martial unit has an electricity gimmick. But, that said, yeah, Megavolt does seem easiest to deal with. Although, let's be clear, all of them are terrible options. I'm just praying we don't get water man. Also, Known, I just realized how appropriate your sig is here:
I'd argue Negaduck counts as fairly world-ending. He's one of the most dangerous people on tbe continent.
Arguably the FW is the most important thing to focus on, as efforts to remain on top will get us Dominant or Overbearing in restaurants, and with potential good synergy with food/agri if we spend that last action to jump it up to Thriving and get a +4 there. Negaduck is very important yes, and everything else is secondary currently, but I think the FW is a very close secondary. Once Negaduck's event passes I think researching a market or focusing even more on the FW would be best.
I really don't think this is a good time for Peter Pan, it doesn't cost us anything to wait until Sinatra publishes Golden Oldies. Besides, the extra money is better spent on dragging down the other competitors in the Franchise Wars.
If the usual is +3, the Zaibatsu are just an extra push away from winning. Louie's winning in two turns.
Luckily, the war doesn't end when a team reaches 10, at that point they have to defend their position and keep knocking others down until at some point everything stabilizes. I'm not sure on what that means, but I suspect it may be that it's when a team maintains top spot for a certain number of turns, dice rolling every turn to see if it continues, or if there's a firm end point we just don't know about. Or the first point mixed with one of the last two.
The Franchise Wars are the most important if we invest heavily in it. I do not want us to fall behind in other areas for expansion because we spent everything on the franchise wars. We have quest to do, businesses to buy, tech to make, issues to lobby, and other industries to invest into.
That's a relief, yeah. Looks like we should Decry the Competition and Focus Group Test a Recipe. Bump us up a relative +4. Probably should also take an Affirmative stance on Lab-Grown Meat. While we're actually naturally sourcing our frog legs and dinosaur meat, we've got an edge on lab-grown meat even if we haven't actually grown any yet. We've got the mad scientists.
