The Ducktales reboot does mention he was very proud of earning his fortune the right way he may cheat a little with treasure hunting and acquire the means for living a loooong life.

However some of the stuff DEI does probably would rub him the wrong way enough for only be able to become a contractor than a full employee.
Honestly, I feel like Scrooge wouldn't end up a hero OR a contractor...He ain't the type to work for any boss save himself. No, he'd make a beeline for Duckburg and immediately start trying to take down Glomgold. It would be a Stewardship battle for the ages, but, if anyone could outsmart Glomgold's business sense, it'd be McDuck. If he wins that struggle, and gains control of the richest company on the board, which given..history he probably will, then he won't be a hero unit or a contractor...He'll be a King. Which is still a phenomenal benefit to both us and the world (Scrooge is far easier to work with then ol' Flintheart and a MUCH better boss), but still.

He first need a company for that and also he spend a long time adventuring, probably working for a lot of people before end up as a CEO, so there's precedent.

Scrooge as a contractor would make sense for me since he would be seeking to build up his capital again to fund another corporation from nothing but he will not beholden of anyone to work as a full time employee.
 
@Made in Heaven
Potential write-in for next turn, asking to know A. Can we do it and B. What would be the DC?
[ ] Recruit the three ex-Morganians.
We need Occult units, and they seem like fun characters, and, as a probable heroball, I doubt they'll take up much space...

That action is probably locked behind this one we just unlocked.
Attempt to reach out to the Merlinians unlocked. Attempt to reach out to the Morganians unlocked (Maybe don't send anyone from this quest unless they have a really good disguise).
Unless the Morganians have a really well developed Social Media network, we wouldn't have to worry about who we make contact with it wasn't the exact same Morganians we just foiled.

Hm...Maybe? I'd prefer to officially work with the Merlinians, these guys just seem intersting enough that I want to see more, especially since Occult is one of the main areas we gotta shore up.
 
Write-in action:
-[] Maglev Trains

Basically this national action will try to introduce a new type of maglev trains that not only are cheap and reliable but eco-friendly, or Greenvil. This action will unlock another one that will try to implement this train on the Tri-state area as a test bed.

Write-in personal action:
-[] Design a new robot:

Heinz will try to design a new type of robot since he does that some times in cannon. It's probably being a long time since he invent something besides Inators and he may want to mope a little in building something after re-joining the government.

Changing the subject this is my take in some of the Kings unique quirks. I imagine that Xanados can only raise the loyalty of his Hero Units until a certain point since he no longer wants anyone close enough to him again, Shego probably has difficulty into raising they opinion since she's a very abrasive person and hard to taken a likening. The Yokai probably has a different mechanic all together call obedience where he have to use whatever tool he deem necessary to make his Hero Units to obey him but the downside he have to keep doing this action since they submission towards him deteriorates and have to keep spying on them since they are constantly trying to get out of his thumb, this is a mechanic is tied on terror they feel towards him rather than any likeness or gratitude.

Khan probably is the King that receive the more Income since he make his HQ on a tax heaven, lucky bastard, and probably has some unique mechanics tied to that.

Nah, that's 100% Glomgold. He is now the world's richest duck, and, back when he was second richest, still had a total net worth (as listed in his first apperance) of "over one multiplujillion and nine obsquatumatillion". Look at that money bin and then consider that's not even all. And going off Scrooge, former World's Richest Duck, well...Scrooge once said that, if he lost a billion per minute, he'd be broke after 600 years, which gives him a net worth of 315 quadrillion dollars. One line in the 2017 Ducktales implies a net worth of 333 trillion. And, in Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, we're at Five multiplujillion, nine impossibidillion, seven fantasticatrillion dollars...And sixteen cents. All of these estimates are an order of magnitude or more above any real world rich person and, in fact, a couple of them uses numbers that don't, technically speaking, exist, so Scrooge's wealth appears to defy numbers themselves. Given that precedent, we can assume Glomgold's wealth is equally horrifically impossibly large. My bet, mechanically, is that Glomgold is always assumed to HAVE enough money...But has a trait that prevents him from spending too much at once, perhaps a penalty if he spends funds on an action that fails to make a sufficient return and/or an inability to spend funds at all on actions that don't at least give the possibility of return. But, point is, Glomgold is 100% the richest bastard on the corporate board.

Lizzy and the Undergrounds may have thoughts on that, and I don't know if we know how to do that.

Well Khan have to be something related to taxes at least.

As for not knowing how to implement maglev trains, well that never stop Doof before.

Inators are a bit different from normal tech...Hm...I wonder if the II could help us figure our WHY some people (IE US, Syndrome, ETC) seem to have such a weird talent for creating technological wonders years or even decades ahead of other tech in a garage. It's clearly not magic, or a supernatural power, our On-Ice Inator and Syndrome's Zero Point Gloves are working on normal physics, but it is...Odd that we're able to build in a day tech that would take NASA years...Nah. Maybe...Nah.

Heinz does know how to build tech that can be mass produce, he did make Norm and in the series a giant robot disguise as a building. I think in real life there like only three places in the world that use maglev trains, two of them in Japan and one in China, so the technology is very much still experimental.

As for people making tech advanced ahead of time, well these people were either genius or hire genius to develop them and now that they rule a megacop they can implement these ideas or develop even more advanced technology thanks to all the extra resources.

Meh, fair, I guess. But like there's genius and then there's whatever bell-curve-shattering brain lets you build a device that converts metal into broccoli in less then a day, or construct rocket boots at age, what, 12? I don't know. But there's a lot of stuff I want to look into with the II, a lot of it FAR more pressing...

To be fair most of these mad scientists probably don't know how to explain the science behind they machines. They do make the calculations and components to make them work but have no idea why it happens, I think a famous scientists face a similar problem IRL that he knew the force behind something but didn't know how to put in mathematical terms.

There's a science behind the Inators, it's just the doctor don't know what it is, if was one time thing that nobody could understand than rebuilding the Ice-On Inator would be impossible. Like I imagine thanks to all study that go into building Ice-On Inator, the DEI probably get a significant understanding into cryogenics, specially into cryonics, and possible open branches to could go on to expand that such as cryo guns, cryogenic fuel or something.

Like the Ice-On Inator will not be mass produce but they could use all the understanding from rebuilding the Inator to make something useful.

We haven't been able to use the tech from the Inators do to Doof not really thinking about how he makes em. As such, to make a MagLev, we'd need to invest a lot more into infrastructure and vehicles.
 
I mean applied everything that was learned in trying to rebuild the Ice-On Inator instead of using any of the tech behind it.
Based on the action description (and I think the QMs have said this before but I can't find the quote rn), but trying to reverse enginner inator would be a multi turn expensive endeavour that we're only skipping now because we're that desperate
You don't understand how your inators work at the best of times, and trying to figure it out under pressure would only complicate matters. Thankfully, pretty much all of DEI is willing to make some significant accommodations for this. Interns are being shuffled around, overtime is being counted up, less important projects are being shuffled into the background. It's so counterintuitive to how DEI normally does things that you're unlikely to be able to pull this off again- Mirage has noted that if it weren't for the sword of Damocles hanging over your collective heads you'd probably be seeing some pretty significant financial and morale issues.

I've got a much better idea. But I'm not sure if the thread is ready for it, it's more of a Syndrome Quest idea.

I mean, this was clarified:
For starters, inators are unable to be mass produced, nor are you able to casually gain an understanding of a new technology through them. It may be possible for your less-than-mad scientists to reverse engineer the machines and bypass chunks of research, but more likely than not this will be a long and arduous process.

It's POSSIBLE the experience of rebuilding the On-Ice Inator could help us learn how to do something like it in the future with other inators, but...That would be a BIG buff if it's even possible.

Yes, but I feel you're downplaying the difficulty. We're rushing to get the On-Ice Inator done as quickly as possible in a way we couldn't do without imminent doom...And it's still taking us two turns. Reverse-engineering Inators is possible, but difficult to say the least.

Not really I was simple saying that we would get something from reverse-engineer the On-Ice Inator, even if is a rushed job.
