Maybe we can build Norm a brother? I mean we could just replace a Normbot's head with the Proto Norm.

He does need an actual name, but I don't think Pietro works with his personality/voice.

Look again! My vote, "Sneak Aboard (Intrigue)", lost horrendously with a measley three votes! Alas, it appears that "Sneak Aboard (Intrigue): Try to get in without anyone knowing you're even here. Jumba gave you the floor plans and what he knows of the guard schedule." has won in its place

[X] Sneak Aboard (Intrigue): Try to get in without anyone knowing you're even here. Jumba gave you the floor plans and what he knows of the guard schedule.
It really doesn't make much sense to go loud now, especially when you have the advantage of stealth.
Intrigue Check: Get past the first patrol!
DC 100 needed: 76+38+18+30 (Jumba's Instructions)=162
Success!
The reptilian guards stationed outside were so easy to get past it was basically a joke. You literally did the 'throw a rock in the other direction' trick, and by George it actually worked. The inside of the ship is dimly lit in shades of cool grey and indigo, shot through with glowing lines of blue that served no apparent purpose- perhaps they were decorative.
In less than a minute, you managed to find an air vent, or something analogous to one, and slipped inside along with Monogram and Khan. Both of them understood the basics of stealth, you were pleased to note, so you didn't have to do the sort of covering work you normally resorted to while 'sneaking' with the untrained.
The longer you spent traveling through the structure, the less it felt like a detention center. You saw guards, yes, but also aliens out of uniform, and not simply the unvarying reptoids but multiple species. Most of them seemed to be officials of some sort, or perhaps researchers?
Intrigue Check: Find Dr. Jookiba!
DC 90 needed: 30+38+18+5(Secret Keeper)+30 (Jumba's Instructions)=121
Success!
Thankfully the mental picture of the vessel you had assembled from Jumba's instructions was mostly accurate, and in no time at all you managed to crawl into a series of ventilation tunnels that overlooked a combination living room and lab all in one. Alien furniture rests in one corner along with what might have been a monitor, while the rest of the room was taken up by prodigious amounts of alien lab equipment. You're no scientist, but spending time around Doofenshmirtz has trained you to recognize a lab setup when you see one. Even if some of the instruments are more bulbous and glowing than the ones back in the States.
When no brilliant scientific minds pop out of the paneling, you do so yourself, leaping to the floor followed a second later by Temujin and a grumbling Monogram. You press your ear to the only door into the room, an odd, three-part aperture, and… hear voices.
"Someone's coming. Back in the vents." You say quickly, rushing back into the cramped wall port. Monogram needs to be boosted up, which leaves Ghengis the lucky man who gets to watch instead of simply listening.
The door parts open, sliding smoothly into the walls to reveal a pair of horrible monstrosities. The first was a vast hulking mountain of blubber, as wide as it was tall, squeezed into a stained labcoat with four eyes blinking over a gaping hippopotamus mouth. Beside him was a rail thin creature the color of dried mucus, scuttling along on three tiny legs, twin tongues flapping beneath a single cyclopean eye.
The green alien turned to the four-eyed, pug nosed, pink and purple ogre creature, and said:
"You know Jumba, I gotta say, I misjudged you!"
"Oh deehd you now." The hulk replied in an unplaceable accent.
"That GalFed reform program really works, and I am so proud of you! I knew you could use your brilliance for good! Why, there must be tens, even dozens of natives you've cured since we started this little program."
"Ehh, what can I say Pleakly?" the thing that is apparently Dr. Jumba says as he lands on his bed with an almighty thump. "Their genetic code is so flimsy, so prone to breakdown. My heart bled for them."
"I wanted to congratulate you on going 200 days Evil-free, ever since the incident with the living papayas!"
"I keep telling you, was accident! Genes for goose and pineapple get mixed up!"
"Heh heh, fair enough old pal. Keep it up, and maybe even Commander Gantu will start to like you!"
Jumba blinks.
"Oookay yeah, no, you're right. But he hates everyone. Sometimes," Pleakly whispers, leaning in close, "I think he might not even like me that much."
"Do not be ridiculus."
"Yeah you're probably right. Well, I'll let you get back to it. Call me if you need anything!" As he turns to leave, Pleakly passes directly by the vent Khan is crouching behind.

"Oh by the way, that's a really nice painting of Jerry Lewis you got there!"
"Eh, who?"
"Human hero figure. I'm not surprised you don't know him, aheheh. He's pretty obscure. It's a good pick though, really ties the room together with that one of Elvis! Anyway toodles!"
Diplomacy Check: Can Khan avoid being insulted?
DC 50 needed: 27+16+15=58
Bare Success
Temujin has no idea who Jerry Lewis is, but unfortunately the look on Monogram's face says it all. You have to hold the warlord back as the talking lamp post chats on, oblivious to his own mortal peril.
"Ah heh heh. Yes yes." Jumba waves goodbye until the door shuts behind Pleakly, at which point he rolls his eyes. "Eh, he is not such an insufferable toobaga, when you get to manipulating."
Jumba relaxes, stretching out on his mattress.
Intrigue Check: Avoid Jumba noticing you!
DC 100 needed: 43+38+18+5-20(Pleakly pointed out)=84
Failure!
"Waiting a second." He blinks.
"I do not have new painting."
Realizing it's now or never, Khan bursts out of the vent, followed shortly by Monogram and you.
"Dr. Jookiba, I presume."
Diplomacy Check: Can you handle the situation before Jumba freaks out?
DC 90 needed: 93+16+15+20 (Listened to Jumba)=144

"We got your… resume." Russ says after a tense second in which it looks like Jumba is going to shriek in surprise. Russ hands over a business card and Jumba accepts it automatically.
"Doofenshmirtz… Evil Incorporated? Ohoho, we are now talking! Haha, I knew only one with brain in head would have the smarts to figure out my message. And you have gotten in here without notice, very impressive Mr. Doofenshmirt-
"Russ." You cut him off so fast it almost startles him. "Agent Russ. Doofenshmirtz is my… employer." You force out after a moment.
"Ohf coarse, ohf coarse, you ahre disposable mooks! I apologize, you seemed far too competent."
"I thought you said you were being prevented from 'exercising your genius'." You comment, changing the subject by gesturing to his many beakers and test tubes.
"You call this genius? Pah! Look at lab setup, is pathetic! Just you wait until I am joining you, you will be seeing real genetics!"
"Forget that, I thought you were a prisoner." Monogram adds.
"Oh I am, I am! Oh, suhre, they are letting me around the island, but you thinking I am free to go? No!" He pouts. "They are not even letting me to visit home of The King in Land of Graces. I am watched every second to make sure I do not commit 'Crimes Against Galaxy', ha! Has forced me to be very sneaksy."
"Vhat do you mean?" Khan asks.
"Eet is not important. What is important is that I be getting my materials togeser and be vahmoosing before Nanny Police notice we are gone!"
"Any suggestions?" Monogram asks. "I'm not sure you're going to fit in the vent."
"Hmm." The mad scientist ponders. "Well, you are getting in here not being seen, I am betting you can probably getting me out. Can jettison escape pod, trick trogs into thinking I am fleeing into Swan Space and get capture. Thought about using it myself, actually, but too risky, cannot be guided. Ahlternatively, we could be trying to jump-start lab's sublight ehngeens ahnd be taking my equipment with us. No H-Drive onboard, but the thrusters may be workings if ve are careful. Jest need to be dealing with pesky guards and lesser coworkers. Will not be missing them. Always with the 'safety practices' this and 'rules of nature' that, was infuriating!"
Oh! And behfore I am forgetting. The GalFed, they are taking every last one of my Experiments away, all but one! My greatest creation. I hid on this very ship. You must to be giving me time to get it."

How will you escape with Jumba?
[ ] Quietly (Jumba, you've noticed, is very conspicuous. You can't just put him in a hawaiian shirt and sunglasses and stroll down main street. Maybe you can sneak him out through the jungles and into Agent W's waiting mouth without anyone noticing you were here, but it'll be pretty hard.)
[ ] Cause a distraction (Jumba mentioned that you can launch an escape pod to 'Swan Space' and distract the GalFed while you run out. If everything goes off perfectly, nobody will even suspect Jumba is on earth anymore, making it easier to sneak out. IF.)
[ ] Try to steal the whole lab (While it would be harder, and you'd have to deal with the guards and aliens still on the ship, never leaving it might make the aliens think Jumba escaped of his own volition. It would be hard to miss the escape, but just imagine the benefits you could get from a space-worthy ship with a functioning sublight drive!)
-[ ] AND cause a distraction with an escape pod
[ ] Write-In (Subject to QM approval, as usual)
Regardless of which you choose, Jumba has asked that you give him a moment to secure 'his greatest creation'. Every second is precious, but maybe whatever the Doctor is ranting about is worth it?
[ ] Give Jumba time to get his creation
[ ] Insist you leave now

Trying to steal the whole lab does not mean automatically going loud. Jumba's smart, he'll probably have some ideas for getting everyone else off that may or may not work out and won't result in a huge fight right off the bat.
If those fail, then combat might be inevitable.
