I know you guys feel responsible for Stanley, but don't. After your critical success on an intervention, Stanley got the help he needs from prison therapists and is already on the road to being a mentally healthier supervillain and/or legitimate businessman. You cannot recruit him, acquire his company (if it still exists), or access any more of his tech for the time being. You may be able to reverse-engineer some of the more interesting stuff he could make in the future.
Honestly, that's what I wanted to hear. Now we don't have anyone putting up serious competition for the healing Janna needs
 
Have we encountered anyone in good mental health? Vanessa, and Technor, perhaps, and possibly Jumba but I don't know enough xenopsychology to know for sure.

Max, Goofy, Dennis, Monogram, and Hego. Everyone has issues, even Vanessa, TECHNOR, and Jumba, but "having issues" doesn't really mean you are in a bad mental state. You only have a "negative mental health" when your issues are outright controlling or poisoning your life.
 
Relevant scene, for those who care to take a look:


Oh, how I needed that.
...
...
...actually. I believe this scene shows that Adult screams are many times more potent than those of a child. That, or the more intense the emotion, the more energy produced. Either way, that should be kept in mind. Fear and terror are two levels of the same emotion, as are simple mirth and the kind of laughter that doesn't have a name, it just threatens to actually bust your sides open.

How would we be able to do some of those things?

Also, how can we actually get information on the Evronians and other aliens from Jumba and Pleakley? They have to know something about them with how Earth was called out as being "Evronian space".
Let's not kid ourselves. By this time next week you'll acquire another 2d6 heroes in immediate need of psychiatric care.
Edit: Ooof. That's a lotta mental trauma.
Aww, you beat me to it. Still, I'm curious if I can get match or beat that.

Above average, but yours is a lot more impressive.
...We need to recruit more therapists.
Yeah, we do. I can think of a bunch of Marvel ones, but those aren't relevant to this quest.

I'm not sure if this has been brought up in thread, but thoughts on hiring Kitsune?

She's seems to be a good Occult hero, which is nice , especially with all the magic stuff we're getting into, plus she also seems to be decent at Diplo so we could use her instead of Goofy if we want him doing something else.
 
Xanatos sent you a letter saying that he got ahold of some very interesting information about the auction this year, mentioning things like pieces of the Shengxiao Set and an Encantus up for sale. He encourages you to begin setting aside funds for the auction, and you don't plan to disagree.
No idea what that set is, but the other thing is Merlin's spellbook from Sorcerer's Apprentice. Also, I'm half-convinced Star's wand will show up at the auction. Am I the only one getting psyched for this??
 
Aside from Vanessa, Jumba/Pleakly/625 and Technor, we have Russ, Goofy, and Max who are fairly stable. Its just their situations that were shitty.

Major Monogram has trauma, but its mostly from The Academy and again, the situation of Perry and OWCA. Also Carl seems fairly ok mentally as well. Hego is just Golden Age obsessed, and Mirage just got burned. The fall of Syndrome should have done wonders to her mental health.

Ludvine though, seem to be the 'sanest' of the lot, though being related to Donald means she has a genetic tendency to fly off in a rage.

We think the Tarot was hinting at hiring her.

That would be spoilers, and MiH doesn't tend to give out information like that unless it's something we should already know under our current conditions but just aren't understanding, or if it's some kind of encrypted code that he is giving to watch everyone scramble and freak out :p

If it is something relevant, you can either make a write-in that you can submit to MiH and ask if it is something you can legitimately do under current circumstances, or you can just take options you think could potentially lead that way.

Hiring her has been brought up about every threadmark since she got a card. It intensified when some people were trying to guess whether she might be the one in the tarot card reading.

Also, the fact that we kinda need her or Wendy or some other viable Diplomat replacement for Goofy, in case the Dream Queen thing materializes soon. We are kinda crap at both Diplo and Intrigue already and the units potentially in the chopping block are the heavy hitters in BOTH categories.

Wendy helps with AI stuff, which we have something of an interest in. Kitsune helps with Occult stuff, which we are very weak in still and which seems to be bound to become a major concern real quick. Janus Lee may be a viable tertiary option.

Although when it comes down to it, it's less an issue of "Who?" And more an issue of "Who FIRST" because we know we're betting both of them eventually.

OK, so next turn, Diplo Shego and SRA; after that, Kitsune and maybe the Zaibatsu? And then Wendy and reach out to one of the other kinds? Evelyn Deavor perhaps? Is it possible to hire multiple people from the rolodex in one turn, at the cost of our diplomacy actions?
 
I am very meh on Kitsune. She's a complete blank slate and unknown. I'd rather work with variables that we have some actual grasp on. And that there's a connection to. Kitsune is just... there.
 
I'd like to reach out to Shego this turn, since I suspect it will synchronize well with the Middleton Drug Ring investigation. We also need to set the groundwork for the 'Alliance of the Semi-Sane' that I thought we were going for between us, Shego, and Xanatos.
Edit: Also, I'm 90% sure that better relations between Doof and Shego will improve Hego's loyalty.

The only problem with that is if we want Kitsune for the auction (which we do), then we need to recruit her now
