Flubber is the key to infinite kinetic energy, far, far better for our energy needs than fusion generators.
And we might get the Flubber boy/man/blob thing from the Robin Williams Flubber movie as a hero, maybe.

Flubber has more uses than little green blob men. It decreases the TN of another project on our Learning list dramatically.
Anyone want to guess which one that is?
I imagine Greevil power?

Flying cars, Robin Williams made flying cars from the stuff.

That was also in the original film, but yes! Good catch. Flubber means we can do flying cars before anyone else does, among other things.
EDIT: Forgot to explain that Flubber means "flying rubber"! Vulcanized Flubber tires allow the car to take off into the air.

Wouldn't people protest the use of Flubber, since it's the supposed cause of destroying Hawaii?

I honestly struggle to think of the utility of flying cars, especially when weighed against something like True AI

That may be true. But if we were to reveal that Hawaii is still around...
Well presumably they're faster, don't have to worry about pedestrians and depending on how they work more environmentally friendly

Flying tanks. Or, if you don't like that idea, automated drone.
Edit: No, wait, better idea! Flying Norms.

Fun, but a little gratuitous. Can't Norms already fly?

If we make flying cars, can we choose not to sell them commercially and instead use or expand on the tech for military purposes?
Like start with flying cars, then to massive flying airships that dot the skies with DOOF. We won't have to worry about being landlocked if we have flying ships that can "dock" anywhere in the ocean.

If they can, it's news to me. Though, even if Norms can fly, then it couldn't hurt to give them a second way to fly, just in case.

Are Owl House and Amphibia part of this quest? Because if so then Eda the owl lady has canonical ways of reaching our world safely. The magic system there permits any human can learn magic as long as it is done through runes.
While I like the idea the two aren't exactly mutually exclusive are they?
We can sell flying cars while still militarising the tech and any advantage keeping it a secret would earn us would be undone as sons as the likes of Syndrome or Drakken got their hands on it, either through espionage or salvaging destroyed versions, and then we'd just be missing out on the income and fame of being the guy who made flying cars a reality
Hell, Syndrome and Drakken already have flying vehicles, even if they aren't mass producible, so it's not exactly a unique advantage

That's why I'd rather spend our learning actions differently. Especially if we keep acquiring businesses. I think we're getting Resinferatoxin next turn so researching some chemical weaponry could be in order.

Those shows are fairly recent and still being worked on. I watched season 1 of Amphibia with MiH but I don't know where he is on Owl House.

Granted, this image is from the 2nd Dimension, but
I'm pretty sure only the Second Dimension versions of the Norms include the flying version. I'm almost certain our Norms are all ground bound at the moment.

The Life and Times of Dr. Alan Bradly
(Alan POV)
It was raining when you heard the news about Lora, an accident they said. You tried to look into the accident itself but you were denied by ENCOM, saying that it was an accident after an official investigation.
Given that you were now worrying about Jethro, and the long term damages of him losing his mother, you decided to for a time believe the lie, the belief that it was in fact a lab accident brought upon by a poorly calibrated laser.
The Safety Standards were all up to date, you had the records, maintenance logs, and preliminary testing...and yet she died in an accident due to circumstances no one could have even foreseen.
And yet...Lora was dead, along with several other employees in a freak laser accident during a test to see what was wrong with the SHV 20905. You wanted to believe that all this happened due to random chance and human error.
You knew better, and like all things it all came back to ENCOM's very large system you had helped give life to.
Time to get into Character.
"Mr. Dillinger, If you have a moment of your time." You asked as you entered his office some time after everything had happened.
The CEO of ENCOM was in many ways similar to you, but he had a bigger salary, a nicer car, a nicer desk and a very tense relationship with the Master Control Program.
When he unveiled MCP it all but made him the toast of the Computing Community, the employee's all but kissing the ground he walked on, and the Government, while rightfully skeptical about how an AI came into being, put him on contract after a heavy amount of persuasions, bribes and honest to god tech wizardry that woo'd over that government contract money.
Of course most of those are for the benefit of MCP...who might try to kill us all if he gets his way.
"Ah Dr. Bradly, what can I do for you this fine day? How's Jethro?" He said in a guarded but polite tone, it would seem he expected you to come by again, he was also trying to control the flow of the conversation like any good Executive, saying everything while in fact saying absolutely nothing.
He'd make a great politician...in all the wrong ways.
Better humor him before you give him the news. "He's doing as well as he can given the circumstances, but I think he's taking it better then I am."
"That's good, I know you've been requesting more time off to get a handle on things off the clock but I assure you as long as the work your doing with MCP continues the way it is along with the rest of the staff, I assure you, you'll have all the time you need to make sure your son grows up into a bright young man." Dillinger said with a sincere tone.
It was time to drop the bombshell, and you were going to enjoy it and dread it all the same.
"Sir, as much as you've been good to me in spite of everything, I'm sorry for what I'm doing." You said, playing up the nerdy facade that you maintained in spite of your grief.
You handed over a slip of paper with your signature. "My Two Weeks notice sir, I will remain for a time until I have trained my replacement."
That got a reaction. "Well Dr. Bradly, I don't know what to say, you could have Emailed me with this and I could have talked you out of it, maybe talk about a raise or...I'm sorry you've caught me off guard here."
Good, better that he be off balance talking to you then reviewing the reasoning with MCP.
"I'd rather not flood your inbox with this and tell you in person. It's a polite thing to do. Sir…" You said.
"Well that's a shame, you've done great work for this company. I'd hate to see you leave so abruptly." Dillinger said.
"I'm sorry sir, but with what happened as of late and the needs of my son, I'll be glad for the change of scenery." You said.
"You're not going to Xanatos aren't you?" He said with some concern in his voice. "The Man's even harder on his computer programmers than me." Dillinger said as he chuckled. "Even if the benefits and pay are better than ENCOMs."
"I don't think I'm in the mood for working in New York, even with all the goodies he'll use to fish me out of the Unemployment Market." You said with a small smile, you knew Xanatos only by reputation, but even you had nothing bad to truly say about him as a boss and you'd enjoy him as an employer immensely.
But while you'd consider a meeting with the man for an interview, you'd think he'd ask too much of you too quickly. Especially given the man's recent ventures.
And his...eccentricities and well you didn't know how else to put it.
"Ah So you'd like to keep your options open. Kronos Corporation perhaps?" Dillanger said.
"I'm not going to work for an arms dealer...I have principles,and nothing will change them." You said gritting your teeth at the suggestion.
"I understand, he's a bit...shall we say-"
"Completely insane, he acts like a supervillain, or at least my son says he does on his commercials. And I am inclined to believe him." You said.
Dillinger nodded in silence agreeing with the more bizarre nature of Mr. Pine's character, and his need to be called Syndrome.
It was concerning that the two of you were agreeing on something.
"San Fransokyo Institute, you'd make a great teacher or a great start up company." Dillinger said.
"I'm thinking smaller sir, Middleton, or Danville, cute places, good commute friendly neighbors." You said.
"Danville is covered in an ecological disaster of dust storms and until recently the threat of Famine. And Middleton, well Middleton is filled with a few...shall we say unpredictable characters." Dillinger said.
"The choice is mine sir...but I thank you for everything and well, Give my regards to the MCP. I've put a lot of work into it." You said.
You left without another word.
------------------------------------------
"Alright...We'll start in San Fransokyo, the Institute might be offering something but I doubt it. Or Callahan might rope me into something." You said putting down a newspaper filled with Job ads.
"Hmmm Doofenshmirtz Evil Inc...Appearances may be deceiving." You said.
Jethro coughed a little as you put his head on your lap, he'd been having nightmares and wanting to spend time with you ever since his mother died and now that you were soon to be unemployed, you obliged him. "Hang in there buddy, I know it's going to be hard. But I'll make us a home your mother will be proud of."
You put him down on the couch and went over to your desk and pulled out a pocket knife, you'd need something bigger than that.
But you had time enough to deal with that.
----------------------------------
AN: A little blurb from Alan Bradly's POV, He's playing up the grieving husband, widowed father aspect a bit but he's really trying to get out of company and find ways to help the Grid, and keeping with how things are going on the google Docs he got fed up with the company and left, but in a polite beneath suspicion way that would allow him to get away reletivly undetected.
He's also going Job hunting which I hope other Omakes will go into detail...and that he finds us.

I love the dialogue and ideas at work here, but the MCP would want to remain a secret and is secret by default. Revealing himself as a fully-realized AI would be counterproductive to his goal of covertly ruling everything from the Grid.
We don't know if MiH is using Jet, but Lora getting laser'd sounds about right. It was implied some of her fucky half-digitized person code was put into the MA2A assistant program Alan made? He's a good guy but that's a terrible way to cope!
We do know he was friends with Roy Kleinberg and kept his secret when he discovered Roy was ZackAttack. Maybe they're partners?
EDIT: The famine reports are national because of the bread basket going away. Not centered on Doofania.
