Laser Pirate is a character from Teamo Supremo, a hydrophobic tech thief who never showers. Smelliest villain in the US. Well, besides Inquinator.
 
That's what I thought initially, but remember that Oberon was also a Gargoyles villain, whereas Xanatos occasionally worked with the Gargoyles. It's possible he succeeded in his plan to return Alexander to Avalon and Xanatos is working to return him.
Let's be real, the events of the Gathering weren't Oberon's plot; it was Titania's all building up to one moment to get what she wanted.

Oberon 'ports into the room, reflects the laser/particle beam (not sure which her gun was supposed to be) Fox fired at him back at her gun which explodes. She's knocked to the floor semi-conscious while, Xanatos. Goliath and Puck come charging in only to be frozen by Titania. At which point Oberon is about to pick up Alex and Fox snaps; firing an instinctive magical blast that knocks him through a wall (though it doesn't actually hurt him).

Titania set the entire thing up from the get-go and she achieved all her goals.
She told Oberon (after priming Fox and Xanatos's paranoia by repeatedly suggesting that she could watch Alex while they left and rested etc etc) that she wanted the child brought to Avalon so his magical talent/heritage wouldn't wither like Fox's. The magical blast was used as proof that Alex could remain on Earth and be trained in magic without it withering away. Because if Fox, who never had that much talent and never used magic before in her life could do this, Alex would be fine.

At the very end Titania mentioned she'd be dropping in from time to time to check in on her grandson and Fox growls that none of this changes what Titania tried to do.
Titania: "What makes you think think hasn't been exactly what I've been trying to do from the beginning?"
 
Well if that's real then never mind then.

I was so sure because of the flying skyscraper and personal flying device.

Ah well.
 
and has raised serious questions about the competency of the Toon Doom placed in charge of stopping crime, considering the sheer degree to which the villain appears to have just waltzed into the building.

... uh oh. Guess we'll need to try and rescue or recruit Clever soonish.


... I have a feeling that Gantu will either become the hero the world needs... or he'll just run around putting out random fires wherever they pop up. Which wouldn't be so bad. Hmm...

Now that the Sands Casino has returned to normal operations, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck have opened up a live show in the casino to near-universal acclaim. Their shows have been sold out every night and the livestreams of their performances are seeing millions of views online. While the St. Canard breakout is still in the back of many minds, the return of two great stars to the stage has helped a bit in restoring some of those lovable characters' reputations.

... aww. But I wanted to recruit them.

Any chance we could hire her? Put her on an ops team and she's ready if things have to get hot in a hurry.

I mean... it's possible that someone else already hired her. I mean, there's two different bonuses to her rolls, both over fifty. So it's probable that she's working with or for someone else who's also very Martially skilled.

Here's the one that gets me. No desire to steal. No desire to kill. Measured and careful about the property destruction. What's she destroying?
Possibility: part of the Sansweet history that's come under fire again. Could be related. Interesting.

... she could be working for Evelyn. Or anyone who'd openly decry the SRA while wanting it to stick around.

So, now that we know what the other king think of the sra, what do we do about it now?

I mean, we could always try to reorganize Doofania's police force by recruiting local capes. We could also make a bunch of statues that represent the Golden Age A-Listers and put then smack dab in the middle of Doofania, and say that we hope that, if any of them live, they'll return to help people during this troubling time. Sabotage pro-SRA minor factions. Capture super villains using Hego and any other Super we recruit.

... basically, there's a lot we could do.

And when he points out that while we did some Pro Super things but we never actually moved against the Bill itself what are you going to do? Don't half ass global wide diplomacy. Either support for or against it. This half measure shit won't cut it.

Yes... but if we actually show that we're making changes and being pro-super in spite of the SRA, then that means that, compared to the anti-SRA guys who are busy shouting about how much they hate the SRA, we're actually helping Supers and giving them jobs and such.

Okay sure, but how does this help us on the material side?

Encom, for all intents and purposes, has a quality product that people are willing to buy. How do we improve our product, so Encom's quality doesn't destroy us?

We'll never be able to keep the DoofOs completely safe, the same for CJ, if the MCP is left to his own devices.

WELP. So much for hiring her ourselves... At least she's good at the job and portals are low collateral damage from Deavors' point of view.

I mean... we weren't able to recruit her anyway. The same goes for Mass and Blubox. Even though we have their cards, they're simply not recruitable at this time.

But what are the applications beyond visiting cyberspace?

Allowing us to defeat the MCP for one.

Granted, but that only worked because the Gargoyles and Xanatos gave Oberon a hell of a hard time getting to that point
 
I vehemently disagree, if anything just quietly changing our policies without addressing the situation would make us look extremely wishy washy and if anyone asks "why did you only do I think after the others" our response will be a completely legitimate true "We we're investigating to find what the best approach would be not just jumping into it headfirst like some people"

Plus if doing it now was going to backfire Mirage wouldn't have suggested it

EDIT: Also I have to say I really hope that the DC for Campaign against the SRA has been reduced because A) It would make absolutely no sense if it hadn't been and B) It's kind of bullshit to have an action we kind of need to take or risk a lot of bad shit happening have a permanent, unchangable DC of 100
Firstly, that's not what Mirage said.
While Doom has placed us into an awkward spot, it is not irrecoverable. Whether you choose to support the SRA repeal in order to avoid Doom's PR attacks, oppose the repeal to avoid looking suggestible, or find some third avenue, my greatest advice is to act quickly. It will prove difficult to appear genuine in any respect once all other groups have dug in positions.
She said that we'd need to act quickly in putting a firm stance on the issue. That could be through lobbying, or it could be through some other form. We have also kinda already reached the point she mentioned about "[proving] difficult to appear genuine" as all other factions have now made their stance firmly clear.

Secondly, what part of making policy changes is quiet? ANY time massive corporations make policy changes, they always blare that thing over the news headlines after announcing it to the press. DEI is certainly big enough as a megacorp to make that stance clear on a policy level and have it stay on the news for a while. It's also a proven tactic with how Shego herself was mentioned as simply not enforcing the SRA at all and not allowing cases against supers in her sphere, so it's not like it wouldn't do well to make our own stance on it.
 
Granted, but that only worked because the Gargoyles and Xanatos gave Oberon a hell of a hard time getting to that point
Most of which was Xanatos and Halcyon Renard. The gargoyles could fly and punch but they couldn't really slow Oberon down at all. The only key thing that they did was Goliath pointing out that Fox being still able to use magic changed things.

Though Xanatos 's father gets bonus point for shooting Oberon in the chest with an iron harpoon (which admittedly just made the guy even madder).
 
[ ] Sell 'laser plans' to prominent individuals
DC 50
67+14=81

Never mind! You and several other prominent individuals around the country have received an email from one 'Captain Laser' offering to sell you an 'entirely unique' design that he recovered from ENCOM headquarters. Called the 'SHV 20905', he promises that you will find its like nowhere else, and a copy of the plans can be yours for the low low price of ten million dollars wired straight to a Swiss bank account! This is peanuts compared to what your company makes in a year, so… do you want to take him up on his offer? (A vote will be included in a later interlude.)

Well this is going to lead to the king equivalent of a African rush. Everyone and their mother is going to be invading the digital space now.

which also causes the potential problem of Candy and MCP/CLU being able to push out of thedigital space into the mudane world.

on the plus side this will make AI research a lot easier. There are thousands of sentient programs and Online characters to study to create and improve AI code.

not to mention the possibility of creating farm space in digital space and pulling that into physical space. Due to time dilation in the digital space you could in theory create entire years worth of harvests and cultivation in mere weeks

My point is, if that didn't happen in this universe for whatever reason, Titania's plan may have failed.
 
Hmm lots of stuff happening in the sidelines now. Things are shifting towards a new horizon, and we need to be ready for whatever comes at us. I suggest that we strengthen our home-field advantage and defenses later while we ensure that our force's Loyalty are adequate by doing diplomacy stuff and social-fu.
 
Right well here's hoping that the plans Will not require a learning action to figure out.

but if they do that needs to be one of the things we need to do because there is going to be a Landrush and Whomever controls cyberspace controls The flow of information potentially around the entire world.

we need to be the first in that race.

same with "Extra dimensional" tech .

Both lead to areas in which we can freely expand without crushing the masquerade. And allow us to more freely get at more troublesome foes.

I think those are going to be the actions we have locked in for next time

During the last week of this current update period:
DoofenshmirtzEmpricalIndustrialist said:
Ugh, typical. The coffee I make seems to taste like salt, but everyone else's tastes fine. Maybe it's the brand I'm using?
DoofenshmirtzEmpricalIndustrialist said:
Update on the coffee situation: Brand does not make a difference. I'm checking the sugar packets.
DoofenshmirtzEmpricalIndustrialist said:
Coffee Update 2: Someone has carefully mixed in just enough salt packets that I almost didn't notice them. How delightfully evil! Although it's peculiar that I seem to be the only one to get them. Must be bad luck.
DoofenshmirtzEmpricalIndustrialist said:
Wait a second magic exists. Maybe I should have Tobe's Shaman or Janna check for Magical luck rigging.
DoofenshmirtzEmpricalIndustrialist said:
Coffee Update 3: The sugar packets are GONE! And right after I asked Janna to- wait a second.
DoofenshmirtzEmpricalIndustrialist said:
Coffee Update 4: Janna stole the sugar packets, but she's actually confused by the presence of the salt packets. And envious she didn't think of it first. Is there EVIL afoot that I don't know about!?
DoofenshmirtzEmpricalIndustrialist said:
Coffee Update 5: I've booby trapped the coffee machine for tonight. I'm sure to get them now!
DoofenshmirtzEmpricalIndustrialist said:
This just in - don't booby trap the coffee machine. Wile E. works late nights and is as petty and vengeful as I am. Maybe even more so! I'm impressed.
DoofenshmirtzEmpricalIndustrialist said:
Coffee Update 6: I've installed a security cam and made sure the packets are all sugar this time. Either they don't try it again, or we'll capture the perpetrator this time.
DoofenshmirtzEmpricalIndustrialist said:
Oh, look at this neat song I found!



I can't believed I missed this one hit wonder. Say, they sound like those Summer based interns I hired...

DoofenshmirtzEmpricalIndustrialist said:
Coffee Update 7: Coffee Java has taken personal offense at the camera being subverted. For some reason her digital avatar has a battle Axe. Should I be concerned about it going too far?
DoofenshmirtzEmpricalIndustrialist said:
Wait, technically I already made one Coffee update before posting Coffee Update 2. Does it make that Coffee Update 2 or 3? Are all my Coffee updates mis-numbered? Augh, this is going to give me a headache.
DoofenshmirtzEmpricalIndustrialist said:
Goofy's janitorial skills are impressive. Never have I had my paperwork so nice and clean before! Or soggy, but at least the ink didn't run. Still, I've got so many fans in my office that it's a bit hard to think.
DoofenshmirtzEmpricalIndustrialist said:
Agent Russ has told me not to post about him, but honestly as far as US Government Agents are concerned he's pretty neat! Seriously, he deserves a bonus at least.
DoofenshmirtzEmpricalIndustrialist said:
Coffee Update Whatever: Coffee Java has said the digital blackout was a coincidence and that she has already executed the offending program for crimes against state. The fact that her Axe had bits of binary on it has definitely made me worried. Whatever, we've got the sugar restocked.
DoofenshmirtzEmpricalIndustrialist said:
Coffee update Finale: I'D CURSE YOU DENNIS THE DUCK FOR MIXING UP THE SALT AND SUGAR PACKETS, BUT AFTER WHAT HAPPEND TO MY NEMESIS I'LL JUST SETTLE FOR CURSING YOUR RUTEBEGA AND PICKLED ROACH SANDWICH! IF ANYTHING DESERVES TO BE CURSED OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH, IT'S THOSE!
DoofenshmirtzEmpricalIndustrialist said:
Someone seems to have mailed me a fancy Enigma Cipher! M3 by the looks of it. It seems to have some hate mail attached to it, with the words 'Bill is an ass. Never again.' written on it. I don't know who this 'Bill' is, but clearly it has been sent to the wrong address.
DoofenshmirtzEmpricalIndustrialist said:
Didn't send it back, but I had a brilliant idea! What if I encode my top secret documents with this? It'll make them that much more secure!
DoofenshmirtzEmpricalIndustrialist said:
NO. NEVER AGAIN. WHOEVER BILL IS, THEY ARE AWFUL AND I HATE THEM FOREVER FOR BEING INDIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS CATASTROPHE.
DoofenshmirtzEmpricalIndustrialist said:
The Board of Selectmen say Coca Cabana is alright this time of year. I'll check back with them in a few weeks to see if it gets better the later in summer it is.
DoofenshmirtzEmpricalIndustrialist said:
Did I misspell Coca Cabana?
DoofenshmirtzEmpricalIndustrialist said:
I did. It's one whole word. Huh. Learn something new every day.
DoofenshmirtzEmpricalIndustrialist said:
As a reminder to everyone - Bad hygiene isn't evil. It's just rude. if you don't want a new law fining people for not keeping up with a basic minimum of cleanliness, then this will turn around post-haste. You know who I'm talking about.
DoofenshmirtzEmpricalIndustrialist said:
Holy moly, I just found pics of Doom losing his cool after the press conference! Everyone on my list is getting these babies shared personally. #Doof>Doom
DoofenshmirtzEmpricalIndustrialist said:
As for the SRA Repeal going on... Just wait. We have something coming down the pipeline that'll make it clear what Doofania thinks about the issue.

=================================================================================================================​

EDIT: Decided to Quote them to make them more Post like. I hope it adds to the effect.
EDIT 2: Credit to @RookDeSuit for that idea, by the way.
