Though if we want to use the green angle, modern-day corn (those this stuff is apparently augmented) is a very unsustainable crop. It takes a lot of fertilizer etc to keep going and simply devours any and all nutrients in the ground.
There was actually a Discover article a while back looking at various methods of breeding/modification etc to make corn a less fertilizer-hungry crop (and thus result in less polluting runoff etc).

Your reasoning for why it would appeared to be that it would make Felldrake help us more.
My counterargument was that he won't help us with the map in general, but he's fine with us sending him to Xanadu and once he's there he's not going to get his bearer killed. So, if we wanted to appreciably boost our odds, we would need to shake free our A-Tier questing unit, Russ, from the high-DC and clearly important Intrigue actions.
(Also, again. Chicken Itza and Acme is mutually exclusive with Acme and Social Media, and I would like to not allow ENCOM to further entrench its dominance while also doing literally nothing to defend ourselves in the PR war. Not panicking about PR, yes, literally nothing, no.)
As for the map helpind us judge Xanadu - judge it how? We're already extremely spooked, because it holds mystery sealed mythological beasts. Unless you think it'll ease our concerns, which should make us more willing to go in without Russ, I'm not sure what you're expecting to find.
Because that's another point - with two actions per turn in most categories, it is harder for us to spare heroes for quests, since there are nationally important actions we could have them do instead.
Especially since we shouldn't assume we need to succeed at every roll we come across in the first place. The first half of Birds of a Feather was a complete clown fiesta, and that still ended well. With less Toon Force in the air, I don't see a Stewardship failures doing us in. (Especially if Khan can parlay being Genghis Khan into a bonus on finding a guide for the Diplo check. I've heard less plausible things.)
And one of the most dangerous ways failure can get to us is through traps or monsters or what have you, and again - 97 Martial forgives many sins.
Because I don't think it will help?

Fair enough, we might get lucky on some of those artifacts. We might not, but we might. I'm just not sure what sort of transformative upgrade you expect to find in the loot pile.

Wile E. Coyote is in high demand both as a Stewardship Hero and Acme connection right now, but if we shook him free he'd give us a comparative +8 over Max (with Janna). It's not nothing, sure, but I'm not sure it's enough to justify yoinking him now that we're doing two Stewardship national actions per turn.

Yet! Growth Mindset.Well yes, but while ants are good at heavy lifting, they're not so good at moving the lifted objects across the Atlantic Ocean.
We don't need to. Like, what's the failure state there, Toffeee announces that he was so excited to offer doofania corn but thanks to doofenshmirtz they won't get any? With only his word that the deal was good, or even on the table in the first place? Even if he was willing to go to bat against us with for no clear benefit, it would bounce fairly easily. If you mean in terms of offering Toffee a fig leaf, nobody knows he made the offer; there's no reputation on the line for him, so it's not like we're humiliating him by refusing or anything.

Yeeeaaah, all that I found out about Toffee indicates that THIS is the only possible answer.

That's just fire ants! They don't count for anything. They're a scientific outlier. Technically speaking fire ants are a liquid!!!
I don't really expect anything, but it would be nice if it did happen. This is what the map was in the canon:
Knowing this would be useful before charging into Xanadu practically blind.

....................That makes absolutely no sense. At all
Doing pro-Supers action while may calm down the general populace it will also make us seem's weak by running around because of simple slander. Not doing anything on it and instead shown that Toon's actually offer results will show up a strong front and reason of why we are doing so. I also plan to expose Hawk that would make people question Doom's earlier speech and it would be more impactfull if we don't join in to his Pro-Supers action.
I want to wait on Chicken Itza after Janna had replacement in Occult Action. As for Special Delivery I innitially assigned Coyote to it, but seeing the Rival Reports I assume a lot of people will want to compete with ENCOM, but sure I changed it back if everyone want's Castle Doofhawk that much.
We are not doing anything. It's a gift to Shego in the turn after when we reached out to her.I'm not sure we're in a good position to follow up on this if we DO find anything.
Yes.
Thanks for pointing it out. I innitially assign Monogram on Drug investigation before Tobe appears.

Notice that those ants weren't trying to carry a castle.
This is because the castle-carrying river-crossing raft ant species all drowned to the last drone ten million years ago.
I would argue that while he won't help us with the map in general, and will certainly act in an attempt to save Janna's life... He may very well just not bother sharing information that is nonessential to our survival. For example, he may decide that the best way to keep Janna alive is to NOT tell the group how to get past a sealed and warded entrance to deal with the monster inside, because it's easier to just warn them that there's an obstacle in the first place.
A Felldrake who's volunteering information in an attempt to cooperate with us is inevitably going to be far more useful than a Felldrake whose only motivation is "keep Janna alive until she gets out of this place."
I think we can take one turn to pivot and deal with PR. We have pretty good PR overall, after all.
Purely as a hypothetical, we could send Mirage along. She's strong in several areas where Khan and Team Doof are not-strong. Sure, Mirage is desirable back here, but if we just got a ninja for Intrigue, we have enough decent Stewardship options that we can spare her.
To be fair, Genghis Khan does provide considerable situational advantages to a journey that may take us into Mongolia.

That is not what those actions are fucking about. They are about investigating the scene. We know nothing about superheroes. That needs to be fixed.

When you put a bunch of fire ants together they act like a solid and a liquid simultaneously. They create a phenomenon known as an 'ant ball'. They'll be able to be poured like a liquid into containers, and if you remove the container they have been poured into they will retain the shape they took for quite a while.
Wearing heavy gloves and playing with ant balls is fun, but it's very important not to roll them up into actual balls and throw them at people. It's a very quick way to get kicked out of the entomology lab, and banished from college campus. As I figured out...
