If we want uburnium, and we very well might, we'd need to leave Earth's solar system as I understand it.
With that said, it's not that I'm "panicking about" space. It's that I don't want us to get locked into the idea that a space program will solve our Earthside problems without creating new ones.

It's either smash particles together to make uburnium or complete the space program to go searching for some. Not a locked choice of having to leave Terra Firma to find uburn.
Particle accelerator for DIY fuel that probably gives out small amount or goin mining for large chunks. I personally would like to refine synthesizing uburn until more is made by going boom than mining but it might not be possible or not worth it to do so in the long term.
Ideally we'd be able to cheat by using Cold Fusion or Flubber power to pay any energy costs to make uburn or magic it. But eh.
Edit: Globby could probably make the stuff.

Lunaris is 2017!Ducktales, so *probably* not a thing in this quest (that goes with Comics>Old!Ducktales>New!Ducktales)

Nah. That's just one way to make it.
There was a synthesize it with a laser collider as well as I recall.

mook.
And, if SPACE reallly is that much of a threat, that's just a better reason to get our Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated Space Program up and running. Better to have weapon emplacements in orbit than to not have them when faced with space conquerers.
First we can work on getting stuff into space, getting eyes on the outside, getting material from asteroids. Then, once we have a jump on the competition, then we can get ready to get heavily invested. We don't need to deal with space factions immediately.
I don't think it'll solve all our problems. I do think it's an area we can specialize to outcompete our opponents on Earth. Imagine we did start an interstellar war, we'd be central to everything, everyone would be clamoring for our tech, ships, scans, scientists. Of course it would be a lot of trouble, but it would bump Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated into the big leagues.

That's almost certainly not going to be energy-efficient. Great way to power a single spaceship, not so great as a way to (for instance) outflank and trivialize Shere Khan's fusion research.

I'm not the least bit worried about power.
If we get a good stewardship hero this turn I'm all for doing the campaign for flubber action and then flubber power the turn after that.
And there's always reaching out to khan and collaborating on fusion power.
If we try for the unburnium that's fine too, though probably higher difficulty.
We'll get our power. It's only a matter of time.

Just woke up. Has the vote on Khan's new steed been called already?
Hasn't even started yet. It's going to be rolled into the next interlude I think.

Or everyone else on the planet would make it very clear to the aliens we antagonized that they are not with us and we'd be crushed faster than if Hopper the grasshopper started a war with Lizzy. If it was any other king starting an interstellar war, would you prefer binding ourselves closer to the idiot who bit off a galaxy more than they could chew or appealing to the interstellar party in the interstellar war?

I see. Well, I for one vote for the Utahraptor. Badass giant land eagles.
parasaurolophus looks cool, but based on the description it would be best for heavy charging, and the Mongols were more known for their light cavalry than heavy cavalry. And the horse-dino hybrid is just too boring.

Well, that just started an omake idea brewing. Nothing to get too jumpy about, but I'd be a doppio if I missed the opportunity.

Emphasis on probably. MiH can insert Lunaris into this with next to no problems tbh.

I've seen a lot of concern that Exposing Hawk was a waste of time, and I think it's a bit premature to say that when we haven't gotten the interlude for the action yet. Especially given the Interlude's title.
"That's All, Folks" is a signature Toon farewell.
Neither Mirage nor Hawk are Toons (or Russ levels of Toon Adjacent).
We've been dripfeeding Doom's intel apparatus bullshit for the past couple of turns, and just yoinked his Intrigue guy in a public way before he could hire a replacement. For this single turn, Doom's effective Intrigue is abysmal, suffering from both Hawk's false trails and his sudden absence.
Phantom Blot, a Toon, is leaving LA, and he's probably going to throw one last farewell act before he does. And he knows all about Hawk.
Put all these factors together, and if this doesn't end with PB seizing on this moment of weakness to absolutely clown on Doom on his way out the door, I'll buy and eat a hat. And next turn, we can throw Kitsune at Doom to keep stomping on him while he's down. It'll be fun.

So, we just made a legendary new coffee machine. Does this step on Nightstone's toes? I know Keurig and Starbucks aren't exactly archrivals irl, for example, and I could see Nightstone rolling with it and releasing new coffee packs to go with it, but I could also see them getting annoyed we're edging into their coffee market.

Man, the world's best coffee and most exotic meat.
I'd say we're crushing the food arena.

At this rate, we'll become the new breadbasket of the United States of America; or something similar to that.
Always room to improve. I wonder if Doc Hopper would be willing to take a buyout...

Anyways, as for the rest of the turn... it went OK I guess.
All of that, and our opponents dice rolls only get reduced by ONE POINT?
Damn, so short of a crit!

Seems pretty good for a bare success. I worry this "growth-accelerated livestock" will conflict with our Greevil image though.
Well, time to research potions, this sounds like the beginning of a magical industry!
A chance talk with Dutchess Flugel Von Tempest or whatever she's called?
Wait, so the interlude will be part of the Rival Reports? or will "Rival Actions" be the name of a separate interlude?

If we got a good stewardship hero I'd be up for it.
But not before moving the castle and campaigning for flubber.

Almost certainly the second. It sounds like Dr. D, as an experienced nemesis-haver, is taking Russ under his wing for some guidance. We've seen him do this to the villain in a Nemesis relationship in canon, now we'll see him do it with a hero.

Id vote for the utahraptor for Genghis khan
Vote hasn't opened for that yet.
