We only need 2 people helping with teh attack t oavoid the Lone Wolf Penalty. More than that won't be too helpful, considering the ton of points dedicated by the robots. It'd be good if the espionage option does get done, and we have 20 Espionage 4 Net Navis to help with the task, so we don't have to worry too much about it failing.

The most accurate term for what the Illuminati's doing to Mad Scientists would be "hiring at gunpoint". You can probably guess how well that's going to go long-term.

Now I kinda what to just leave them alone and watch the explosions.
Something we could really benefit from is a Combat 5 NSM, because our O-Bots can use them, making them far more combat effective than they currently are.
@EternalStruggle According to the Character Roster, you are hte only guy with Combat 5 currently. Would you mind creating a NSM?

@Space Jawa, Roger that.
Maybe I'd recommend sending a couple Mechanogoblins to scout out the base beforehand? Or possibly disguising our bots so the Illuminati doesn't recognize them?

That could fall under any Espionage action designed to get our intel in place prior to the raid.
Thinking about it, might be a good idea to specify not trying to take any Mad Scientists that might be in there alive, at least if they don't put up a fight.

[X] Run for High GM
Is it safe to assume we'll get at least a little extra time to work on this vote since we didn't get the last results when expected?
Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, even if we DID, only having roughly 3 days to plan and vote feels rather tight. Most people haven't even voted yet. For a quest like this, it seems like we should have roughly a week to get all our shit in order.

Why ARE you patrolling? You could help out with expanding the base. The bots need a Mad Scientist to yell at them.
Edit: On a different topic, I've parceled out Research Navi Assistance, with how few people are doing stuff, we have just enough for everyone to have max help. Also assigned Espionage Navis to help with the M.A.D-squerade

It's not individual. I'm halping theflyingbiscuit, so his action isn't a lone wolf action and not ending in injury or death, even if we might fail and both die in the process. ...
I got an idea. These are both anti-illuminati espionage actions. So they could be done in accord, making it the action of four people. @Shadowhisker @Space Jawa @theflyingbiscuit Any ideas guys?
[] Vote for someone

[X] Remove all the mad science stuff from that building and make it look like a normal front business
-[X] Rig the building to self-destruct so that it blows up after the Illuminati agents are inside and takes both them and all the evidence with it
--[X] Be sure to make it look like an accident; a gas leak or something like that.
[X] Make a point of not being present at the Pilar Office Building this week.
[X] Create a Blueprint
-[X] Warren, an organism-agnostic room that creates and counters the cost of minions at the same rate as a Replicator hub until its currency pool is fully tapped out. If the space supply is capped before the currency, the remaining currency can be used akin to the Forging Furnace. tldr, it's the GOCM but bigger & cooler. Ideally it's created by planting a tree which then digs out a cavern underground, creating (glowing) capsules filled with a goo which are accessible by a narrow passage. These cells create creatures and nourish and heal those which sleep inside of them, offering a full rest within two hours and a full restore within a week. Function example: Create an Empty Warren, Warren spends 80 (or whatever) virtual currency on creating minions. The next turn, it spends 80-upkeep cost of existing minions on creating minions. The next turn it... Until its currency supply is fully occupied. It needs to be told what to make (to save effort).
[X] Launch a nighttime attack on the Illuminati intended to get our stolen Buzzkill back (or at least keep the Illuminati from reverse engineering them)
-[X] Eggman will participate in the attack via Battlebot; the Battlebot will operate the Eggmobile, which should have a pair of Exotic Particle Cannons mounted to it.
-[X] Attack will be a surprise raid happening during the night; The supporting Orobots will be arranged in 10 5-bot fire teams, the supporting Buzzkill will be arranged in 5 12-Bot Squadrons, each squadron will be further sub-divided into 3 4-bot flight teams.
--[X] Prior to the start of the attack, the robot teams will sneak into position to surround the target Illuminati base from all sides, including the air, ensuring that nobody inside is able to escape. Anything or anyone trying to flee once the attack begins should be ended with extreme prejudice. The Buzzkill will make the initial attack; after eliminating any exterior resistance and security, they'll open passageways for the Orobot teams to enter. Orobots will then take point, entering the premises and sweeping the building, with each Orobot fireteam being accompanied by 1 Buzzkill flight team. All Orobot fire teams will participate in entering the building, while any Buzzkill flight teams that aren't directly accompanying an Orobot fire team are to remain on perimeter duty to stop anyone who tries to sneak past the attack teams.
--[X] Eggman's Battlebot (and any other MAD scientists serving as mission team leaders) are to wait outside and provide perimeter support to the Buzzkill until either all hostiles are confirmed dead and/or captured, or until the Orobots find the stolen Buzzkill or any other valuables, at which point MAD mission team leaders will enter to take direct command of such situations which require a smarter, more direct touch.
-[X] Primary mission goal will be to recover the stolen Buzzkill and ensure the Illuminati aren't able to reverse engineer them, if they can't be recovered, destroying the stolen Buzzkill to keep them out of the Illuminati's hands is an acceptable backup plan.
--[X] Secondary mission goals will be capture of Illuminati prisoners, rescue of any Mad Scientist prisoners that might be held at the base, capture of any data, intel, or goodies that might be stored at whatever base the Illuminati are holding the Buzzkill at, and the complete destruction of the base and anything we can't steal.

There's already two people working on that. Mind commanding some of the minions expanding our bases? They don't got anyone yelling at them right now.
Player: Exter
Name: Serv
Description: Serv is a rather average 5'2,60Kg man. His normal outfit is a standard mad science outfit,he sports a monotone expression most of the time except when talking about his favourite subjects-Dimensional Physics and how to achieve sufficient Velocity™.
Backstory: Serv was a rather average science student before he got abducted by a mad scientist to use in an experiment. However the mad scientist noticed Serv's inquisitive nature and intrest as well as talent in all things Science™. This all resulted in him being apprenticed to the mad scientist. Serv became a full fledged mad scientist after his master killed himself via experiment failure.
Skill Levels: Research 7
Starting Inventions: Improved version of Personal Dimension Phaser.
Pieced this together quickly after seeing the vote count put up,is this allowed?
Also can anyone tell me any research projects that need another person?

I kind of have to commit an action to this, since I owe @Umi-san support on researching something thanks to getting support on the Eggmobile last turn, and this is what Umi-San wanted the 'Owe you one' spent on.

Yeah, I'm kinda not feeling this Quest, which would be fine except that I'm also a GM, which I thought would be fine but then it turned out weird numbers and exponential growth, so what I'm getting at is that I'm sorta going to no longer participate so that I no longer have to GM.
So yeah.

That one guy needs help with Advance Understanding: Computing
Also, it'd be helpful if you command the minions building up our bases. You can choose either the Mines, Bunker, or the Junkyard.

Apologies, I haven't been up long enough and I was annoyed at seeing what looked the same thing repeatedly show up.
