Yeah that's what I meant. We currently have stuff we want to do--aka hit back against Doom, protect ourselves against Toffee/Bill/the drug ring in Middleton, etc--but nothings that's like actively on fire right now. In other words imagine having this nemesis roll fuck over our planning for the Sands heist, having this on top of an active invasion, or some other immediate disaster.
Inquinator had diplomacy and intrigue options of dealing with him, in addition to the martial ones we took. Given the nature of how this nemesis popped up, I would expect Diplo and Intrigue to pop up. Does Kat really do direct combat? Since I'm wondering if a Learning flavored option to deal with his nemesis actions might happen instead of Martial

DoofQuest Hero Cards: May/June 2016
Your new hero cards are 🎭 NAUGHTY KITTY, 🎭 MOTOR ED, and ✨ KITSUNE.
Quest Actions
[ ] One Man's Trash
You have discovered the wasteland in the center of the country is not only a wasteland: it is a landfill! More scrap, waste and junk than the eye can see, more trash than the world could make in a hundred years or more, piled unendingly to the sky! This defies all logic, and is thus an obvious target for your investigations. Pull together some PPE and send some troops!
Doof may not go on this Quest.
[ ] You Made Me Love Xanadu
You've recovered a mysterious map from Felldrake's temple that shows sites of significance all across the globe. While the warlock staff has remained tight-lipped about the other locations thus far, Temujin has recognized one in the middle of China that he knows to be his heir Kublai's summer court of Xanadu. It seems as if he's had certain interactions with it in the past, so he'd probably be a valuable ally to take along.
Doof may not go on this Quest.
If Temujin is assigned to this Quest, the DC of all rolls will be reduced by 10.
[ ] Moolah and Magic (LOCKED until September/October 2016)
Xanatos sent you an invitation to an 'auction for esoteric items' this fall, mentioning in a recent email that it had been delayed to October instead of September. You should probably start preparing, and think about bringing some people who actually know something about magic.
Doof may, and probably should, go on this Quest.

Your new hero cards are 🎭 NAUGHTY KITTY, 🎭 MOTOR ED, and ✨ KITSUNE.
[ ] Build roof-mounted laser cannons
DC 105
Haven't you had enough of pigeons soiling all the landmarks in your lovely city? With these roof-mounted cannons no pigeon shall ever feel safe again! And it'll give you some anti-aircraft capabilities on top of that! Now that you've researched energy weaponry, you can have laser turrets on top of every building!
(Reward: Increased DC for any hostile forces making an attack against Doofania)
[ ] Form a black ops group
DC 90, four capes required
Sometimes you need to be a little more subtle than a group of armored goons marching down the street, and for that, you need superpowers. Or technology so advanced it comes off like superpowers, you're not one of those power/anti-power bigots. Recruit a couple noteworthy individuals and stick them together on a team, then go ahead and make sure they actually get along!
In this instance, "cape" refers to anyone of a heroic or villainous leaning who isn't afraid of going out and getting some field work done, making judgements on the fly, or possibly getting their hands dirty. Hego would be considered a cape, while Norm would not.
(Reward: Black Ops Team established, Team will function as a Hero Unit with better stats than any single hero; can use team to undertake special actions)
[ ] Fix Norm Prime
DC 110
Norm got pretty banged up in his fight with the Inquinator, and while progress is being made on his repairs. you could always get it done faster if you really want to devote the time. He'll be fixed in a couple months anyway, so it's not like you'd just leave him for the wolves.
Reward: Norm Prime repaired next turn instead of September/October 2016
[ ] Outfit PMC with energy weapons
DC 75
You've made man-portable energy weapons with a power source that won't go kaput after a couple rounds. Now all that's left to do is train your PMC in their use and make sure every soldier gets a shiny new laser gun!
(Reward: PMC efficacy increased, PMC outfitted with energy weapons)
[ ] Upgrade Normbots to current standard
DC 110
You've come up with a few upgrades that should bring your Normbots to a higher level. Right now they're getting the job done but they could always be improved. It might be difficult to rotate them out as you improve them while still maintaining law and order, but it's definitely possible with the right person in charge. You already have the technology!
(Reward: Normbots upgraded to current standard, Normbot efficacy increased)
[ ] Deal with 'The Resistance'
DC 5
There's a bunch of snot-nosed punk kids going around vandalizing your Normbots and busting up the smog purifiers on streetlights. They pose no actual threat to your rule, but perhaps you should send someone to give them a stern talking-to.
(Reward: 'Resistance' dealt with, public opinion increases very slightly)
[ ] Assault a rival
DCs variable
Simply finding out what they're doing is no longer enough! Send your more violence-oriented people in to cause some damage in enemy territory, hopefully without anyone noticing they are there. Beware! Some enterprising enemies may trace the attack back to you!
[ ] Choose any known King to attack
[ ] Write in the nature of the attack
Once you have a clear target and goal in mind, the QM will respond with the DC the attempt would require, unless it would be secret.
[ ] Perform Supervillainy
DC 85
Most of your evil schemes tended to focus on the acquisition of the Tri-State Area, but now that you've accomplished that lifelong goal it's time to look into some other options. Without any better ideas, you could always just search Knowsmore for anything 'extremely valuable and heavily guarded', and tell someone to steal it. That should tide you over for now.
(Reward: Income increase, increased cred in rogue and villain community, risk of reduced government or public opinion, ???; some hero units may dislike this.)
[ ] Build a personal suit of power armor
DC 100
What sort of mad scientist would you be without a suit of flying armor? You haven't got much in the way of personal defense aside from the odd inator or two you've left lying around. With a bit of time you could tinker together something to use in emergencies.
Reward: Malus against enemy Martial actions made against Doofenshmirtz directly, ???, ???)
DC 105

Reward: Malus against enemy Martial actions made against Doofenshmirtz directly, ???, ???)
[ ] Update the City Council
DC 90 (Reduced by AI research)
By 'update the city council', you mean 'augment them with an administrative robot that works only for you!' Sure, your AI isn't perfect, but it's more than enough to handle a bunch of little mundanities that eat away at your spare time. Leaving the robots to sweat the small things will leave everyone else free for the big ones.
(Reward: Two Diplomacy options available per turn, unlocks the Diplomat council position)
[ ] Update the City Council with Princess CJ
DC 80 (Reduced by AI research)
You figure that you can reconfigure your administrative AI to deal with diplomatic abilities as well, though given the state of your coding that's going to be a job and a half. Still, it's going to be a fair bit easier than drafting up an entirely new AI from scratch.
(Reward: Two Diplomacy options available per turn, unlocks the Diplomat council position, Princess CJ will have Diplomacy as well as Stewardship experience in future)
[ ] Recruit rogues and villainous capes
DC 65
There are all sorts of empowered individuals out there, whether riding the wings of natural, inheritable powers, spontaneous mutations, or extraordinary technological developments. Pulling some of them into your fold early on might be a good idea, especially before your rivals snap them up. Villains will be much more comfortable with your DEI mission statements, but also have a reputation for eccentricity. Then again, so do you.
(Reward: choice between several hero units, units are happily villainous but may be unpredictable.)
[ ] Recruit from your rolodex
DC 70
You've kept the contact information of certain noteworthy individuals in your rolodex, either people you've spoken to about employment in the past or people who you know in passing somehow. Perhaps by reaching out to them you can try and recruit some of them? They may refuse to work with you, or some of them might be off the market- the industry is a competitive one, after all!
(For clarity's sake, this means each hero unit below has a hidden % chance they're no longer available when you try to hire them.)
(Reward: choice of one hero unit in the trading cards, some units may not be available.)
[ ] Recruit heroic capes
DC 70
This one would be a little trickier. Since you openly declare yourself to be evil, it might be hard to find heroes willing to stay on your payroll. But there are probably a few understanding, desperate, or just confused types who would take you up on your offer if you look hard enough. Heroes tend to be more reliable and focused on the common good, but they may take issue with the company moving in a less than moral direction.
(Reward: Choice between several hero units, units are reliable but will likely have 'anti-evil' preferences)
[ ] Open diplomatic channels with the US Government
DC 125
You've made the government a lot happier than when you first declared yourself overlord, and having one of their own working with you helps matters too. Perhaps you could establish some sort of formal relationship with them, doing things like sharing intel and lending out your PMC as deniable assets in return for a government opinion boost.
[ ] Officially Rejoin the US Government
DC 230
Okay. So. Apparently a lot of people are upset about the whole 'tin pot dictator in the middle of the country' thing. You suppose you might possibly try to technically officially rejoin the Union in order to calm them down. The downside is, of course, that sort of, kind of, technically, you wouldn't be Supreme Ruler of the Tri-State Area anymore?
Note that the DC for this roll represents not convincing the government or other parties to agree to it, but getting Doofenshmirtz to consider the idea in the first place.
(Reward: Massive opinion boost with the federal government, massive reduction to 'reach out to the Feds' action, reduction in pro-federal loyalty maluses)
[ ] Reach out to Shego
DC 40
Most Hated- er, Greatest Rival Shego has actually proven pretty amenable to working with you. Or at least, a lot more than you expected. Perhaps having a respected challenger at your back who you can count on to face you in honorable evildoing might be a good thing to have while you deal with all the less reputable evil out there?
(Reward: Establish contact with Shego, ???)
[ ] Reach out to Glomgold
DC 70
The richest duck in the world is predictably pompous. While he's not the type of guy you'd invite to lunch he knows his way around a corporate boardroom, a trait which could be invaluable in a collaboration. Besides, both of you are known for your love of eccentric expenditures! On the other hand, he's notoriously greedy and might end up stiffing you in the end.
(Reward: Establish contact with Glomgold, ???)
[ ] Reach out to Shere Khan
DC 55
Khan's corporate empire is a lot more subtle. Instead of consolidating in a few states or cities, his company is based in a single tax haven and from there spreads out across the world to maintain a stranglehold on the world's oil and shipping lanes. An invaluable ally to be sure, but one you could potentially alienate with some of your future tech developments.
(Reward: Establish contact with Shere Khan, ???)
[ ] Reach out to Judge Doom
DC 325
The mayor of Los Angeles really doesn't like you very much for whatever reason. He even sent a spy over to keep an eye on you which isn't very neighborly at all! Reaching out to him is pretty much going to be impossible at this point, so you're just going to have to put up with Hollywood staying under his thumb for now.
(Reward: Establish contact with Judge Doom, ???)
[ ] Reach out to leaders of the Zaibatsu
DC 45
There's no one head of the conglomerate that's controlling most of California, or at least nobody that's public. Still, some of the biggest corporations, like Funtelligence, Sycorax or Bakaemono (Previously Kreitech), could prove useful contacts.
(Reward: Establish contact with the Zaibatzu CEOs, potential contracts with relevant companies, ???)
[ ] Reach out to Bellwether
DC 120
So it turns out there's this really friendly looking sheep that runs Zootopia now! You hadn't really paid it much mind before, but now that she's started taking actions on the national stage, maybe there's a reason to get in contact. It can't be too hard right? Well, then again, your track record with small animals is not the best…
[ ] Reach out to Evelyn Deavor
DC 65
Evelyn Deavor is the new CEO of the Kronos Corporation, and she doesn't seem as vehemently opposed to your presence as Syndrome was. Perhaps the change in leadership means that you could establish communications and try to work out some research arrangements with them!
(Reward: Establish contact with Evelyn)
[ ] Campaign for Flubber
DC 120
Flubber is an undeniably useful tool, but it's got one heck of a bad reputation among the general public. Not surprising considering how most people believe it to be responsible for the destruction of an entire island chain. While this is admittedly a concern, it's nowhere near as bad as the public has been led to believe. With some educational videos and a massive PR campaign, you should be able to reduce the effects of any of your further Flubber research.
(Reward: Public opinion malus for Flubber actions greatly reduced)
[ ] Campaign Against the SRA
DC 100
With Kronos dead and gone, super crime on the rise, and no easy solution in sight, there's a real sense, at least in the West, that the time for Capes to come back into the light is now. Considering how Doom has been painting you as not doing enough to help Supers, it might be a good idea to join in on the movement before the next election cycle, which will probably decide the issue. Or would that just be playing into his hands? Well, it'll probably at least get you some goodwill in the Super community, and maybe make them more willing to work with you.
[ ] Campaign For the SRA
DC 100
Alternately, you could flip the script. While 'Of course I don't like superheroes, I'm a supervillain!' is unlikely to go over well, you could probably come up with a more reasonable argument for keeping the SRA. Heck, you could even argue it should be expanded, so that tech-based 'capes' no longer get a technicality keeping them operating. How's that for equality?
[ ] Form a Research Agreement with Xanatos
DC 90
Now that you've established formal relations between DEI and Xanatos Enterprises, it's probably time to take advantage of them. You like science, he has people that can like science for him... Set up another meeting with the man and see what you can get up to together!
If this option succeeds, there will be a vote later on for specific collaboration options.
[ ] Try to Collaborate With Xanatos on an Issue
DC Variable
There's definitely a lot going on in the world that affects you both. If you want to start building towards greater cooperation, it might be a good idea to talk to Xanatos about any potential issues you both face, or a possible point of conflict you'd like to nip in the bud.
The DC of this action is like that of Assault a Rival- once you suggest a specific issue to speak about, I'll estimate a DC for you.
DC 90 (Reduced by AI research)
By 'update the city council', you mean 'augment them with an administrative robot that works only for you!' Sure, your AI isn't perfect, but it's more than enough to handle a bunch of little mundanities that eat away at your spare time. Leaving the robots to sweat the small things will leave everyone else free for the big ones.

[ ] Recruit new employees
DC 65
Now that you've managed to create something that can be called an actual infrastructure and a functional, competent think tank in the form of H.A.T.E.B.A.G.E.L., it may be time to start hunting for people to fill all the open spots in your organization. Administrators, pencil pushers, programmers and specialized researchers. A band of Toons and supervillains is all well and good, but you do need someone who actually knows how to run a corporation and/or dictatorship.
(Reward: Stewardship/Learning hero units available for hire)
[ ] Excavate Chicken Itza
DC 100
The crew you sent down to Peru was successful in locating the temple Donald had been spotted in, but due to extenuating circumstances they were unable to return home with very much loot. Now that you know where it is, you can send a professional excavation team down there to take notes on the interior and bring you back any treasure that might be waiting.
If Lord Felldrake's wielder is assigned to this roll, they will gain an additional +40.
(Reward: Income increase, uncover more magical artifacts, ???, ???)
[ ] Set aside money for the auction
DC 0
In just a few months, you will be heading to a magical auction with powerful magical artifacts that cost a magically massive pile of cash. While money is no object for you usually, we're talking some big stacks here. If you want to make the most of this, you'll need to start liquidating cash now.
(Reward: Moderate drop in Income, more cash on hand when you head to the Auction)
[ ] Develop a new social media platform
DC 70
Facebook and Twitter have been losing popularity lately thanks to a slew of software glitches, server crashes, and even more blatant violations of privacy than you thought possible. Now's the time to strike while the iron is hot- form your own social media platform and give everyone the online experience they deserve!
(Reward: New source of income, general public opinion boost, increased technological edge, possible actions unlocked)
[ ] Start a Greevil Energy Conservation campaign
DC 100
Technor demands more power to function at his full capacity, but Doofania's energy grid just isn't up to it! By starting a campaign that demands people turn off lights when they leave the rooms, unplug appliances when they aren't using them, and other similar things, you might be able to mitigate some of his power problems!
(Reward: Technor's "Power Hungry" malus reduced to -5, slight increase in public opinion)
[ ] Move Castle Doofhawk to Doofania
DC 125
Your great^65th grunkle Malifishmirtz stated that he couldn't manifest far away from his castle for very long, but if you move the castle to where you already are, that problem should be solved! Picking up an entire castle piece by piece, transferring them across the Atlantic, and reassembling them halfway across the country will be a lot easier now that Xanatos was kind enough to explain how he did it, but it will still be quite the undertaking.
(Reward: Option to unlock Malifishmirtz as a hero unit becomes available)
[ ] Improve Recycling Programs
DC 45
A big part of being Greevil is learning to reduce, reuse and recycle. You've already made changes to your personal life by repurposing several of your old Inators, but in order to improve things nationwide you're going to have to give people some guidance on what proper recycling practices are. You've got it! Talking trash cans!
(Rewards: Contributes to overall Greevil image, slightly increases income as processes become more efficient, every third trashcan is given a helpful AI)
[ ] Express Delivery
DC 95
The acquisition of ACME corp has revealed an interesting tidbit- their inexplicable Express Delivery option. Through some means, probably toon-based but currently not understood, ACME is capable of delivering goods across the country in literal seconds after purchase… assuming the customer pays extra. Figuring out how they do this and integrating it with the rest of your organization has obvious practical benefits.
(Reward: New trait that applies bonus to certain Stewardship actions)
[ ] Revamp Bueno Nacho
DC 425
Bueno Nacho is undoubtedly the most disgusting place you've ever stepped inside, even past that interstate rest stop right off of Interstate 80. The very foundation of the building seems to be permanently permeated with grease, the walls are so slick that they might as well be made of Teflon, and even the ceiling seems to be developing these odd stalactites that didn't seem to be there yesterday. That's not even getting to the food - the most defining trait of which seems to be how much grease it can disgorge onto the diner's table! Seriously, you're kind of worried to show Russ the place in fear that the Feds might invade to capture all of that valuable oil. And finally, the brand's reputation has been so permanently sullied that it's not even funny. At least your rations tell the people that the rat they're eating is farm-raised and sterile! If you want to revamp the place it's going to take some serious doing.
(Reward: Bueno Nacho becomes a passable restaurant)
[ ] Stop Paying Your Taxes
DC 160
So, ever since you took over the tri state area, you've been paying taxes on it. Oddly the income taxes on you seem to perfectly line up with what the approximate taxes would be on every single one of your citizens combined if they were still US citizens. Weird. Anyway, the IRS is pretty scary, but maybe you could just... stop? Giving them the money? What's the worst that could happen?
(Reward: massive income boost, massive hit to relations with the Federal government)
[ ] Attempt a hostile corporate takeover
DC varies depending on the corporation. Olympia Corp DC 310, DrakkTech DC 225, Xanatos Enterprises DC ???, Khan Industries DC 200, Glomgold Enterprises 375, Sycorax DC 150, Funtelligence DC 120, Gen-U-Tech DC 140, Bakaemono Corporation DC 130, Nightstone DC 160, Cloverleaf Industries DC 300)
The other corporations aren't coming to the table? No problem! Do things the underhanded way and gain control of them for yourself! While this is technically legal it's not likely to make you many friends in the business world. Also, some of the owners of these companies are criminally insane, and managing to cheat them out of their whole company might have consequences.
(Reward: Varies, Weakens controller of relevant corp, possible new research or technology options obtained)
[ ] Buy out a rival corporation
DC varies
There are some corporations that aren't rich enough to ignore you and lack the legal chops to fight a takeover, so you can just cut straight to the point and buy them out. Perfectly legal and on the level, and it won't even make you enemies aside from whatever fanboys are upset that you now own their favorite brand. Descriptions provided for companies as needed.
Choose One:
[ ] Chef Skinner's Gourmet Delights - Popular prepackaged frozen food brand that can be found in multiple countries.
DC 90
[ ] Hopper Food Group - Fast food conglomerate with multiple smaller restaurants under their North American banner.
DC 95
[ ] McFist Industries - Generalist manufacturing consortium that sacrifices broad scale for iron-handed control over Norrisville, Oklahoma.
DC 70
[ ] Lee Industries - Performance vehicle designer and manufacturer. Their name is associated with lucrative contracts, sports sponsorships, and the odd foray into medical sciences.
DC 55
[ ] WyndComm Enterprises - Civilian aeronautics company that constructs and launches satellites for commercial use. Has worked on contracts with government and private space programs in years prior.
DC 80
DC 65
Now that you've managed to create something that can be called an actual infrastructure and a functional, competent think tank in the form of H.A.T.E.B.A.G.E.L., it may be time to start hunting for people to fill all the open spots in your organization. Administrators, pencil pushers, programmers and specialized researchers. A band of Toons and supervillains is all well and good, but you do need someone who actually knows how to run a corporation and/or dictatorship.
(Reward: Stewardship/Learning hero units available for hire)
[ ] Excavate Chicken Itza
DC 100
The crew you sent down to Peru was successful in locating the temple Donald had been spotted in, but due to extenuating circumstances they were unable to return home with very much loot. Now that you know where it is, you can send a professional excavation team down there to take notes on the interior and bring you back any treasure that might be waiting.
If Lord Felldrake's wielder is assigned to this roll, they will gain an additional +40.
(Reward: Income increase, uncover more magical artifacts, ???, ???)
[ ] Set aside money for the auction
DC 0
In just a few months, you will be heading to a magical auction with powerful magical artifacts that cost a magically massive pile of cash. While money is no object for you usually, we're talking some big stacks here. If you want to make the most of this, you'll need to start liquidating cash now.
(Reward: Moderate drop in Income, more cash on hand when you head to the Auction)
[ ] Develop a new social media platform

[ ] Investigate Orton Mahlson
DC 120
So Mirage has come to you with a rather unusual observation. Orton Mahlson, the actor who has portrayed the famous Sci-Fi character Dr. Zone for over 60 years, still looks basically the same as he did back when he started. This is strange, to say the least, and it might be worth looking into how exactly this has happened. It's probably not top of your to do list but hey, who knows what you might find?
Reward: Discover the secret of Orton Mahlson; ???
[ ] Investigate the Middleton Drug Ring
DC 90
The sheer scale and success of the drug ring operating out of Middleton has you concerned. It hasn't spread to your territory yet, but no one ever succeeded at evil by not being proactive, and you just got done dealing with the criminal element and have no desire to let it start up again. Figure out what's going on and try to stop it from being a problem.
Reward: Uncover information on the Middleton Nootropics Ring
[ ] Investigate crime in LA
DC ???
Criminals in LA have apparently begun organizing into an impressively unified outfit, and are making waves around the city. Many members seem to be St. Canard escapees. Not only are they becoming a force to be reckoned with in their own right, Agent Russ has expressed some concerns that they may be taking an interest in DEI actions in the area. It might be a good idea to figure out what's going on here.
Reward: ???
[ ] Wing the Hawk
Base DC 90 (DC varies by subtype)
Agent Russ has successfully identified Judge Doom's 'spymaster', Alonso Hawk, and has acquired information about his personal life as well! There are a lot of things you could do to deal with him…
Choose One:
[ ] Kidnap Hawk- best to get him off the streets and somewhere he can't bother anyone. This is technically extremely illegal, but that should be fine as long as no one catches you. Reward: Doom loses Hawk as a hero unit
[ ] Feed Hawk False Trails- Hawk did not impress you on his last attempt to infiltrate your organization. Lay down some false trails and misdirection and get him feeding Doom useless nonsense. Reward: Doom takes a penalty to all actions against DEI
[ ] Subvert Hawk- Hawk is a businessman first and foremost. This will probably be harder than the other options, but if you can convince him that working with you is in his best interest… Reward: Hawk becomes mole in LA
[ ] Expose Hawk- Hawk is managing a very shady network here. This is a little more difficult than just kidnapping him, but If you could expose him, you might be able to take him down perfectly legally… if you can find a way to get around the whole 'owns the police' thing.
[ ] Write-In
[ ] Investigate the cape scene
DC 0, higher number yields better results
You're admittedly pretty ignorant when it comes to the affairs of superpowered individuals. Sure, there are some attacks in cities under your control but that's true of pretty much everywhere. There's probably stuff kept on the downlow or outright secret you could find out if you look into it!
(Reward: Information on the state of superheroes and supervillains, areas of super activity, well known heroes, super society, etc)
[ ] Investigate what's happening in Florida
DC 90
Tourism is down in Florida, and you're pretty sure it's not due to the mosquitos. Well, not only due to the mosquitos. Something weird is happening down there, you're sure of it! Investigating a little more thoroughly might bear fruit.
(Reward: ???)
[ ] Investigate what's happening in Oregon
DC ???
Lately Oregon has been a hotbed of weirdness. People are spotting all sorts of cryptids up there, like the Jersey Devil (who's a long way from home), the Mothman, Bigfoot, and lots of others. Despite having modern cameras on them at all times it's inexplicably hard for people to snap accurate pictures, but your instruments are better than that, right?
(Reward: ???)
[ ] Investigate Toffee
DC 85
It's kind of suspicious how nothing seems to be happening down in Arizona. You don't see the trappings of any other corporations, there's barely any gang warfare or cape crime, and the government isn't even trying to turn people away from something. After how weird Janna has been acting, you're starting to suspect there's something suspicious going on, and that lizard with all the companies in the area might be involved. Perhaps there's more to this than meets the eye, or maybe you're just getting paranoid.
(Reward: ???)
[ ] Spy on your employees
DC 75
It's not very nice, sure, but better safe than sorry. Besides, they already document most of their daily lives, what with your social media mandate, so all you really need to do is look a little deeper. Maybe one of them is up to the wrong sort of no good… or maybe you're just being paranoid *again*.
(Reward: Discover if any of your employees are disloyal, potentially discover secrets of hero units)
[ ] Conduct corporate espionage
DC varies depending on the corporation. Olympia Corp DC 110, DrakkTech DC 95, Xanatos Enterprises DC ???, Khan Industries DC 120, Glomgold Enterprises ???, Insuricare DC 50, Sycorax DC 120, Funtelligence DC ???, Gen-U-Tech DC 120, Bakaemono Corporation DC 100, Nightstone DC 129, ENCOM DC ???, Cloverleaf Industries DC 140
This is very slightly illegal, but hey, you're already evil. You should probably expect some huge PR disaster if you're found out, not to mention sending what's left of your reputation into the basement.
(Reward: access to some secrets or technology you wouldn't have otherwise.)

(Reward: access to some secrets or technology you wouldn't have otherwise.)
[ ] Research animal uplink suits
DC 120
Lizzy has drafted up some blueprints for the antborg armor she utilized earlier, but her handwriting is terrible and her notes are arcane. You're pretty sure that with enough effort you can make it so any animal can uplink to the armor and gain advanced strength and mobility, but you're not sure how to do that yet.
(Reward: animal uplink suits unlocked, changes ??? in the future)
[ ] Research insect control
DC 140
Lizzy has constructed some sort of mechanism that allows her to assume rudimentary control over nearby insects. When combined with the uplink suits, you can already imagine how effective they might become in combat, but as it stands her tech is barely out of the concept phase. With a little effort, you might turn this into something truly intimidating.
(Reward: insect control technology unlocked, ???, ???, ???)
[ ] Decentralize your Normbots
DC 80
You've learned what a bad idea it is to have all your robots hooked up to one network. Syndrome did that with his Omnidroids and they were able to be bricked by one malicious piece of software. You should take the time to ensure that they're linked up to a few distinct hubs and make sure that anyone trying that against you will have a much harder time of it.
(Reward: Normbots decentralized)
[ ] Survey GalFed ship
DC 100
Your away team in Hawaii managed to capture a Galactic Federation vehicle completely intact. While Jumba told you there was no hyperdrive on board, you're pretty sure that there's a wealth of other technologies just waiting to be exploited. Send someone to analyze the thing and get started!
(Reward: Research options unlocked)
[ ] Upgrade AI
DC 325
After seeing what Syndrome managed at Vegas, and the contents of the Palladium Chip, you have come to the conclusion... that you know way less about AI than you think you do. Seriously, even with the breakthroughs you've made in the field, Sinatron was running laps around your best work. Norm may be a real swell guy, but there's no chance he could ever pull off something like that. It's possible you could still make some sort of advance in AI, but until you sort through everything you gained from the Sands gala, you've got no idea.
(Reward: Research Adaptive Anti-Cape AI and Robot Doppelganger AI to lower the DC)
[ ] Decode odd transmissions
DC 200
You've detected some odd and nigh-incomprehensible transmissions coming from up north. It's quite possible that it's just the massive heaps of garbage interfering with Canadian radio transmissions, but it's also likely that someone's trying to send you another coded message! None of your inators are able to make the slightest dent into decryption, so you're going to have to do things the old fashioned way…
(Reward: ???)
[ ] Research human genetics
DC 80 (Reduced by MG acquisition)
You've made good progress with dinosaurs, but it might not hurt to start investigating the human genome as well. All sorts of genetics startup companies are trying to crack it, because being able to understand and rewrite human DNA on the fly would be invaluable! Just think of all the potential experiments and projects you could get to once you breach the subject.
(Reward: New research unlocked)
[ ] Research silphium
DC 90
This wondrous herb has been extinct for centuries… everywhere except Drusselstein, that is. According to some ancient literature the uses for this thing are innumerable, ranging from the culinary to the pharmaceutical. Unfortunately you've got no idea where to begin given that most of the literature on the thing is older than any modern nations. Get your scientists cracking to see if they can figure out how to best use it!
(Rewards: new research unlocked, ???, ???)
[ ] Research resiniferatoxin
DC 90
The 'geniuses' over at Bueno Nacho had the bright idea to use this chemical to produce a hot sauce definitely unfit for human consumption. Seriously, the thing can start to corrode metal on contact. There are all sorts of potential applications for this stuff though, from non-lethal ways to take someone out to potential painkillers! Just… don't put it on ground beef.
(Rewards: New research unlocked, bonus to martial rolls involving attacks in Doofania)
[ ] Research Fusion Power
DC 105
Now that you've exhausted the possibility of lesser power sources, you think it's finally time to go for the golden goose. Fusion power could theoretically provide you with vast amounts of energy, but the concept is barely out of the planning phase, scientists the world over have been attempting it for years with little success, and there's always some inherent risk involved. This action must be completed several times at successively increasing DCs to unlock fusion power.
(Reward: New research options unlocked, general fame and income)
[ ] Begin the Doofenshmirtz Evil Space Program
DC ???, higher DC indicates higher initial success
Space. The final frontier. The one place you've never managed to crack with any sort of regularity. Sure, you've sent up the odd satellite or twenty, and you even had some plans for a space station in the works, but that literally never got off of the ground. Instead of expanding outward, you can expand upward! Imagine the possibilities! Space Science! A vantage point to spy for aliens unobstructed by a pesky atmosphere! An asteroid belt filled to the brim with valuable minerals!
(Reward: Space program started, research options unlocked, questline unlocked)
[ ] Research Adaptive anti-cape AI
DC 100
One of the hallmarks of Kronos AI is the ability to react and adapt to different stimuli in an extremely rapid manner. While Syndrome typically put this to use in omnidroids to take down super-criminals, you can think of all sorts of use for this kind of learning tech. You may have snatched the schematics and design documents from the Kronos gala, but you still need to spend some time looking them over and integrating them into what you already know about AI.
(Rewards: DC for upgrading AI decreased, option to integrate adaptive AI into Normbots, reduction to Doppelganger AI DC, bonus to any future quest options opposing Omnidroids)
[ ] Research Zero point energy technology
DC 130
One of Syndrome's most closely guarded secrets was his so-called 'zero point energy' technology, which are basically fancy gauntlets that allow him to immobilize anyone who looks at him funny. Now, you're not sure if this is true zero point energy tech- you know, the stuff that could potentially lead to free unlimited energy- or if he just chose that name to sound cool, but either way, it's full of potential!
(Reward: Research unlocked, stasis field technology unlocked, ???)
[ ] Research Robo-Doppelganger bodies
DC 120
Sinatron's body was basically indistinguishable from a human body at first glance, and Syndrome's robo-duplicate that tried to assure people he was not missing seemed to have fooled a lot of people online. You're pretty sure that it would be very hard to tell they were actually robotic if you weren't in the know or didn't possess some other means of detection, like deep scanning technology. You've got the blueprints, all that's left to do is try and make sense of them.
(Rewards: Robo-doppelganger bodies fully understood, option to build robot-doppelgangers with no AI)
[ ] Research Robo-Doppelganger AI
DC 130
You have to admit it- you're impressed by Syndrome's research into AI. Sinatron, even as megalomaniacal as he was, seems to have sidestepped all the problems you and other companies have had with the concept. The emotions he was broadcasting didn't feel forced or tacked on, he was capable of quick reasoning and logical deduction, and based on the way he talked Gwen into giving up information, he was able to read people well enough to attempt diplomacy.
(Rewards: Robo-Doppelganger AI more closely understood, DC for future AI upgrading decreased, option to build robo-doppelganger personalities)
[ ] Research climate controlled environments
DC 110
It wasn't as flashy as some of the weapons or goodies at the gala, but Syndrome had an exhibit on self-contained environments that could be precisely controlled and deployed with ease. You can see all sorts of potential here: grow plants in the desert! Form a base on the sea floor! Maybe even set up a base on the moon!
(Rewards: Climate controlled environments technology understood, research options unlocked)
[ ] Research Greco-Roman Terraforming
DC 100
Somehow a two-bit supervillain with a Greco-Roman obsession managed to construct a gigantic volcano in the middle of downtown Doofania in a matter of hours. It's admittedly rather impressive as to how he managed this. You were able to grab his notes on the subject, but they're still very cryptic, written in an odd dialect of Greek with lots of weird inflections mixed in. Spend some time decoding them and learning how he managed to do what he did!
(Reward: New Stewardship options unlocked)
[ ] Research Flubber Power
DC 100
Flubber offers a path to clean and cheap energy, and while it's not actually limitless, the upper limit is so high that it might as well be. The only problem is that the majority of the world thinks that Hawaii was destroyed in a prototype Flubber power plant explosion, and with the "tragedy" still recent in memory, you're going to face a lot of public backlash for rolling out a power plant.
(Rewards: Massive public opinion decrease, power problems for all of your territory removed, Technor's 'Power Hungry' malus removed)
[ ] Research Flubber Antigravity
DC 90
It turns out that if you vulcanize Flubber and apply an electric current to it, the resulting substance can produce exceptionally stable gravitons. It might be possible to exploit this and produce effective antigravity technology, though of course you'd have to get past the public opinion of the substance.
(Reward: Flubber Antigravity technology unlocked)
[ ] Research Flubber Weather Modification
DC 90
Flubber is an impressively versatile substance. Your lab monkeys have found that it serves as a near-perfect nucleation site for water droplets, meaning it is capable of producing seemingly miraculous rainfall and cloudcover in all but the most arid regions more or less on demand. Your boys even think they can manipulate its structure to break down after several months, meaning there's little concern of it becoming a pollutant. If you can manage to get this together properly, the benefits would be obvious- just think of all the dramatic storms you could pull together at a moment's notice!
(Rewards: Weather modification technology unlocked, significant public opinion decrease)
[ ] Research Dino Domestication
DC 90
Before you can really manage to get use out of dinosaurs, you need to establish a basic means of getting them to follow orders and, you know, not eat their handlers. A combination of intensive behavioral study and careful genetic modification should do the trick, at least for the smaller ones.
(Rewards: Dinosaur Farming action unlocked, Dinosaur Entertainment action unlocked, Domesticate Large Herbivores action unlocked, Dinosaur Cavalry action unlocked, Environmental Adaptations action unlocked)
DC 120
Lizzy has drafted up some blueprints for the antborg armor she utilized earlier, but her handwriting is terrible and her notes are arcane. You're pretty sure that with enough effort you can make it so any animal can uplink to the armor and gain advanced strength and mobility, but you're not sure how to do that yet.
(Reward: animal uplink suits unlocked, changes ??? in the future)
[ ] Research insect control
DC 140
Lizzy has constructed some sort of mechanism that allows her to assume rudimentary control over nearby insects. When combined with the uplink suits, you can already imagine how effective they might become in combat, but as it stands her tech is barely out of the concept phase. With a little effort, you might turn this into something truly intimidating.
(Reward: insect control technology unlocked, ???, ???, ???)
[ ] Decentralize your Normbots
DC 80
You've learned what a bad idea it is to have all your robots hooked up to one network. Syndrome did that with his Omnidroids and they were able to be bricked by one malicious piece of software. You should take the time to ensure that they're linked up to a few distinct hubs and make sure that anyone trying that against you will have a much harder time of it.
(Reward: Normbots decentralized)
[ ] Survey GalFed ship
DC 100
Your away team in Hawaii managed to capture a Galactic Federation vehicle completely intact. While Jumba told you there was no hyperdrive on board, you're pretty sure that there's a wealth of other technologies just waiting to be exploited. Send someone to analyze the thing and get started!
(Reward: Research options unlocked)
[ ] Upgrade AI
DC 325
After seeing what Syndrome managed at Vegas, and the contents of the Palladium Chip, you have come to the conclusion... that you know way less about AI than you think you do. Seriously, even with the breakthroughs you've made in the field, Sinatron was running laps around your best work. Norm may be a real swell guy, but there's no chance he could ever pull off something like that. It's possible you could still make some sort of advance in AI, but until you sort through everything you gained from the Sands gala, you've got no idea.
(Reward: Research Adaptive Anti-Cape AI and Robot Doppelganger AI to lower the DC)
[ ] Decode odd transmissions
DC 200
You've detected some odd and nigh-incomprehensible transmissions coming from up north. It's quite possible that it's just the massive heaps of garbage interfering with Canadian radio transmissions, but it's also likely that someone's trying to send you another coded message! None of your inators are able to make the slightest dent into decryption, so you're going to have to do things the old fashioned way…
(Reward: ???)
[ ] Research human genetics
DC 80 (Reduced by MG acquisition)
You've made good progress with dinosaurs, but it might not hurt to start investigating the human genome as well. All sorts of genetics startup companies are trying to crack it, because being able to understand and rewrite human DNA on the fly would be invaluable! Just think of all the potential experiments and projects you could get to once you breach the subject.
(Reward: New research unlocked)
[ ] Research silphium
DC 90
This wondrous herb has been extinct for centuries… everywhere except Drusselstein, that is. According to some ancient literature the uses for this thing are innumerable, ranging from the culinary to the pharmaceutical. Unfortunately you've got no idea where to begin given that most of the literature on the thing is older than any modern nations. Get your scientists cracking to see if they can figure out how to best use it!
(Rewards: new research unlocked, ???, ???)
[ ] Research resiniferatoxin
DC 90
The 'geniuses' over at Bueno Nacho had the bright idea to use this chemical to produce a hot sauce definitely unfit for human consumption. Seriously, the thing can start to corrode metal on contact. There are all sorts of potential applications for this stuff though, from non-lethal ways to take someone out to potential painkillers! Just… don't put it on ground beef.
(Rewards: New research unlocked, bonus to martial rolls involving attacks in Doofania)
[ ] Research Fusion Power
DC 105
Now that you've exhausted the possibility of lesser power sources, you think it's finally time to go for the golden goose. Fusion power could theoretically provide you with vast amounts of energy, but the concept is barely out of the planning phase, scientists the world over have been attempting it for years with little success, and there's always some inherent risk involved. This action must be completed several times at successively increasing DCs to unlock fusion power.
(Reward: New research options unlocked, general fame and income)
[ ] Begin the Doofenshmirtz Evil Space Program
DC ???, higher DC indicates higher initial success
Space. The final frontier. The one place you've never managed to crack with any sort of regularity. Sure, you've sent up the odd satellite or twenty, and you even had some plans for a space station in the works, but that literally never got off of the ground. Instead of expanding outward, you can expand upward! Imagine the possibilities! Space Science! A vantage point to spy for aliens unobstructed by a pesky atmosphere! An asteroid belt filled to the brim with valuable minerals!
(Reward: Space program started, research options unlocked, questline unlocked)
[ ] Research Adaptive anti-cape AI
DC 100
One of the hallmarks of Kronos AI is the ability to react and adapt to different stimuli in an extremely rapid manner. While Syndrome typically put this to use in omnidroids to take down super-criminals, you can think of all sorts of use for this kind of learning tech. You may have snatched the schematics and design documents from the Kronos gala, but you still need to spend some time looking them over and integrating them into what you already know about AI.
(Rewards: DC for upgrading AI decreased, option to integrate adaptive AI into Normbots, reduction to Doppelganger AI DC, bonus to any future quest options opposing Omnidroids)
[ ] Research Zero point energy technology
DC 130
One of Syndrome's most closely guarded secrets was his so-called 'zero point energy' technology, which are basically fancy gauntlets that allow him to immobilize anyone who looks at him funny. Now, you're not sure if this is true zero point energy tech- you know, the stuff that could potentially lead to free unlimited energy- or if he just chose that name to sound cool, but either way, it's full of potential!
(Reward: Research unlocked, stasis field technology unlocked, ???)
[ ] Research Robo-Doppelganger bodies
DC 120
Sinatron's body was basically indistinguishable from a human body at first glance, and Syndrome's robo-duplicate that tried to assure people he was not missing seemed to have fooled a lot of people online. You're pretty sure that it would be very hard to tell they were actually robotic if you weren't in the know or didn't possess some other means of detection, like deep scanning technology. You've got the blueprints, all that's left to do is try and make sense of them.
(Rewards: Robo-doppelganger bodies fully understood, option to build robot-doppelgangers with no AI)
[ ] Research Robo-Doppelganger AI
DC 130
You have to admit it- you're impressed by Syndrome's research into AI. Sinatron, even as megalomaniacal as he was, seems to have sidestepped all the problems you and other companies have had with the concept. The emotions he was broadcasting didn't feel forced or tacked on, he was capable of quick reasoning and logical deduction, and based on the way he talked Gwen into giving up information, he was able to read people well enough to attempt diplomacy.
(Rewards: Robo-Doppelganger AI more closely understood, DC for future AI upgrading decreased, option to build robo-doppelganger personalities)
[ ] Research climate controlled environments
DC 110
It wasn't as flashy as some of the weapons or goodies at the gala, but Syndrome had an exhibit on self-contained environments that could be precisely controlled and deployed with ease. You can see all sorts of potential here: grow plants in the desert! Form a base on the sea floor! Maybe even set up a base on the moon!
(Rewards: Climate controlled environments technology understood, research options unlocked)
[ ] Research Greco-Roman Terraforming
DC 100
Somehow a two-bit supervillain with a Greco-Roman obsession managed to construct a gigantic volcano in the middle of downtown Doofania in a matter of hours. It's admittedly rather impressive as to how he managed this. You were able to grab his notes on the subject, but they're still very cryptic, written in an odd dialect of Greek with lots of weird inflections mixed in. Spend some time decoding them and learning how he managed to do what he did!
(Reward: New Stewardship options unlocked)
[ ] Research Flubber Power

[ ] Search for magical individuals
DC 90
There's got to be other people out there who know how magic works. Now that you're sure they're not ALL quacks, you should try to see if you can find anyone who can actually be of use to you in magical tasks. Your knowledge of magic is a bit limited at the moment but hey, that's why we're looking.
(Reward: Occult hero units available for hire)
[ ] Research alchemy
DC 75
Great Grunkle Malifishmirtz left you some of his old alchemy notes, which are only mostly readable after you've translated them out of Latin. At first glance, alchemy seems similar to chemistry but with a much more mystical lean to it. You know practically nothing about it, but maybe you can figure something out on your own? You do have an example of an actual, functioning potion now, so that might make it easier.
(Reward: ???)
[ ] Do a tarot reading
DC 50
Janna claims to have 'borrowed' a set of odd tarot cards from somewhere. If you cross reference them with whatever else you can find out about tarot readings, maybe you can have Janna- or someone else, you guess- get a meaningful glimpse into the future?
Reward: ???

Quest Actions
[ ] One Man's Trash
You have discovered the wasteland in the center of the country is not only a wasteland: it is a landfill! More scrap, waste and junk than the eye can see, more trash than the world could make in a hundred years or more, piled unendingly to the sky! This defies all logic, and is thus an obvious target for your investigations. Pull together some PPE and send some troops!
Doof may not go on this Quest.
[ ] You Made Me Love Xanadu
You've recovered a mysterious map from Felldrake's temple that shows sites of significance all across the globe. While the warlock staff has remained tight-lipped about the other locations thus far, Temujin has recognized one in the middle of China that he knows to be his heir Kublai's summer court of Xanadu. It seems as if he's had certain interactions with it in the past, so he'd probably be a valuable ally to take along.
Doof may not go on this Quest.
If Temujin is assigned to this Quest, the DC of all rolls will be reduced by 10.
[ ] Moolah and Magic (LOCKED until September/October 2016)
Xanatos sent you an invitation to an 'auction for esoteric items' this fall, mentioning in a recent email that it had been delayed to October instead of September. You should probably start preparing, and think about bringing some people who actually know something about magic.
Doof may, and probably should, go on this Quest.
Personal Actions
[ ] Browse online for interesting stories
Sure, most of what you find online is crap, but you might just stumble across something that'll end up being useful. Whether that's a rumor that will pan out, an online blueprint, or just the next popular viral video is all up to chance.
[ ] Start writing a musical
You've written a couple musical numbers in your day and you've got a penchant for showtunes. Put them all together in a glorious musical that can actually be performed on Broadway, assuming they forgive you for what happened back in '11! (You gain +40 to the first roll you make on this action.)
[ ] Tinker with your Inators
No matter how big your evil schemes get, you will always have time for the creations that started it all. If you choose to roll on the inator table, you can roll twice and choose an inator.
[ ] Chat with the Bossman
Your employees are valuable resources in the pursuit of evil. You should see how they are doing. Choose a hero to spend time with. That hero gains a +10 to loyalty for the next 3 turns. This option can sometimes also lead to learning more about your chosen hero, possibly granting new traits or events.
[ ] Make up with Roger
There's no sense in perpetuating your silly feud with Roger any longer. Given the recent revelation that your parents have disowned him as well, perhaps you can find common ground to commiserate on and get on with your lives.
[ ] Read your Spellbook
You have a magic spellbook, eeee! All of Drusselstein considers magic dark and evil, which means it must be awesome! Give it a read and see what you can get out of it!
Reward revealed: Doof gains a (low) Occult stat (87/150)
[ ] Summon Malifishmertz
Your ancestor's signet ring allows you to summon him for a brief conversation once in a blue moon. He can't manifest outside his castle long enough to really tutor you, but if you're stuck on a hard magic question he might be able to help you out.
[ ] Do some introspection about Norm
Your feelings on Norm are more complicated than you thought. Is he your son? Are you comfortable with that? How are you supposed to be treating him? Is he even really sentient? You've given him a lot of upgrades over the years, but you never remember instructing him to call you father.
The results of this action may change depending on your understanding of Artificial Intelligence.
[ ] Look into the Dickens Detective Agency
Agent Russ mentioned the Dickenses offhandedly as one of the best private firms on the market, while commenting on what a shame it was they're all but out of business due to some sort of supervillain shenanigans. Perhaps this would be the perfect time to see what they can offer you?

Sure, all the Japanese maples make the place look different from back in Spoonerville, but the concept is still the same, right? Do some gardening, take a load off, and maybe grow some food that isn't produced in a vat.
[ ] Finish your degree online
The incident at the X-Games pretty quickly put an end to your plans for a degree. Fortunately all sorts of colleges offer online degrees now, and you've got just enough time to try and finish one! Not only would this make you feel better about yourself, it might have some actual effects on your job, too! Must be completed three more times to obtain your degree.
[ ] Find Mickey
Mickey has dropped off the grid recently. Donald has too, but at least you know that he's off traveling the world with a 'goddess of adventure' or something. While you got a Christmas card from the both of them this last year, you're not sure where Mickey is, exactly. Now that your living situation is a little more secure you can devote some time to finding your old friend.
[ ] Look into Pete
Your old... well, maybe 'friend' is pushing it. Neighbor? Your old neighbor has dropped off the grid as well without so much as a goodbye. While that does sound like him you're sure he'd at least give you a call to gloat about something, but so far there's been no communication. Take a look into what he's doing now that his car dealership is long gone.

[ ] Study history
Temujin has missed hundreds of years of history since he was revived and only touched upon the barest of basics in his studies of the English language.
[ ] Study science and technology
Technology has advanced an incredible degree since the 13th century. Maybe, with enough effort, Temujin can understand all the intricacies of modern tech.

Your civilian identity has been Bueno Nacho's top performing manager for six years running, and you're not about to rest on your laurels just because you're the only manager in existence right now.
[ ] Try Talking to Shego
Somewhere, deep down, you know your sister has some good in her. Somewhere. Deep down. Maybe you can find it!

[ ] Psychoanalyze
The first step to recovery is admitting Technor is right about everything. Despite the megalomania, Technor is a qualified therapist. Send him to talk to one of your employees to make sure they're still within two standard deviations of mental health. This can shed light on their issues or even reduce the burden of their manias for a short while!

[ ] Build a giant robot body
It's been too long since you've had some time to make a bigger body for yourself! Use your free time to construct a body worthy of TECHNOR, THE MECHANICAL MAN!
[ ] Build giant robot arms
Your robot body can't very well get anything done without arms, now can it?! Devote some time to constructing the arms!
[ ] Build giant robot legs
How can your giant robot stomp all over your enemies without legs?! Floating robots just don't have the same impact!

[ ] Bond with Dad
Ever since that Road Trip back in senior year, Max has made it a point to occasionally spend time with his dad. He's a real Goof, but he means well, and a little bit of boring fishing every now and again is a small price to pay. Just NO MORE POSSUM PARK. This will make Goofy very happy.
[ ] Go to see a Powerline concert
Getting to be on stage with Powerline was the highlight of your high school experience. Powerline has had an unexpectedly long shelf life for such a gimmicky act, so why not check out one of his concerts again? Who knows, he might even remember you.
[ ] Play some video games
It's been a while since you took some time for yourself, and this year has been a pretty good one for video games so far. Use some of your paycheck to purchase a nice new gaming rig and have some fun.

You understand the tactics involved in finding supers that shy away from the limelight. There are limits to how far you're willing to go in order to uncover a super that doesn't want to be found, but your talents might do some good.

Now this is interesting. Is this a good idea? I don't know Xanatos
Considering that 1) Megavolt is basically a Toon equivalent to a Super, and Shere Khan basically said that he didn't want any Supers, working for him or otherwise, anywhere near Cape Suzette, and 2) Megavolt is, as has been mentioned multiple times, a criminally insane known (willing!) associate of Negaduck who's bent on "liberating" household appliances the world over, I really, really don't think we're ever going to be able to get them to work for us unless they get forced through a whole hell of a lot of therapy sessions with Technor.

We are definitely setting aside a lump of change for that damn auction, even if I fully intend to start slapping down things other than money like a serial exhibitionist at a game of strip poker. The more we come to the table with, the sooner we hit something David Xanatos is not expecting us to be willing to go all in for. That is a given.

Depending on the topic, Xanatos can be a high risk deal. He can and will use everyone around him (except for his family). He won't be malicious about it but give him an inch and he'll take a mile.
The good news is that he's not out to rule the world and if I recall correctly is involved in helping to propr up the federal government to at least maintain a semblance of normality. Also if you do manage to break even/get the better of a deal he won't be bitter about it.
"Revenge is a sucker's game." is a notable quote by the guy.
Here's a series of clips that can help get a general idea of his attitude.
Looking through for useful new actions.
Okay, um, Kitsune is interesting, she's 3 occult and in our rolodex. City council now, but like, serious recruit potential.
Emotionally I want the new AI cause I feel bad for people who had passionate preferences and didn't get it. But like, practically, we realllllly need the second diplomacy, and can't afford to have Doof give it his personal attention, so a DC 10 drop is major.
I... okay, seriously, this is a powerful argument for moving either the Express Delivery or Chicken Itza to next turn. Like, we need stewardship heroes, (Acme has been worrying high DC). Like, I know we want I great-Grunkle^65, but like, we do have a second occult to fill gaps, and a stewardship hero could really help.
That's it for national. Going to look up personal in a bit.
Summary: Swap suggestions (and priority)
Occult: Do a tarot reading - High, let's not do an action that's as likely to crit-fail as succeed if we have other options.
Diplomacy: Update the City Council with Princess CJ: Medium but a 10 DC drop isn't nothing.
Stewardship: "Recruit new employees". Yes, I know it delays one of our occult heroes, but we could really use it.
Edit: Also new research options, but higher DC than I'd like to go for now, and we have priorities.
Miss this the first time, important I think. Since doing something like buying Lee industries will hurt our immediate cash (companies do not pay for themselves in four months) I would REALLLLy like to move Muffin over to this.

I'm not sure Kitsune probably is immediately avalaible but like, checking in might be a very good idea. So many diplo actions we need. So little time.
Might want to get on this.... after the council, securing contact with Evelyn, Khan Shego (ugh soooo many things to do).
Research agreements sounds great.

Oh, a non-likely to crit-fail options. Definitely support switching to this.

Yeah, I'll agree with this. Like, I'm pretty sure off the top of my head that we have two Intrigue and two Learning actions - maybe two Stewardship? being tired continues to be a thing - but even if I'm right on all of that, people who casually follow the thread or who have been away for a while might need a reminder.
EDIT: Also, there's a lot I'm willing to compromise on from a skim, but I feel like having Princess CJ (long may she reign) gain some diplomatic chops is something that I must bring to pass.

Kitsune had three stars for occult?! We should definitely recruit her. Plus she already knows Janna.
Also I think we should have Janna study magic while she's motivated to study. Hopefully it will up her occult score.
