Sure, DC was 7 before we got the transit station so it's probably like, 4 at most now, likely less. That said, for next turn we should just have Fixit on it by himself so he can guarantee us a 25 point success.
Makes sense, we could also theoretically put Turgo on another low DC Learning action just to get some use of him even if not much.
Oh I wasn't wanting to recruit actual real life people I was thinking about dead DC comics characters. For example
Professor Merson the guy who invented War Wheels.
Eh we kinda have a policy of not involving ourselves with Nazis. Though that does raise the question, is using necromancy to resurrect and enslave a Nazi scientist considered pro-Nazi or anti-Nazi?
I think the solution is proliferation. Make LMD derived servant robots common enough that people don't automatically assume it's a LexCorp affiliated model. That has it's own problems in that some people will probably actually use them like LMDs. But if we're going the humanoid robot route that was going to be an issue anyway.
That could work though again it runs into the issue of anyone smart enough to read between the lines would know what we
could do with that technology plus it would take us a long time to reach that level of proliferation, long after Marie had undergone her own robotic conversion.
In addition I imagine it might negatively impact people's willingness to undergo RC if the body they're being uploaded into is largely considered a servant class.
That is the other option. Let the man go do the work he craves for Vertigo in return for him undergoing appearance altering Surgery and allowing us to fake his leaving the company and eventual death. I'm fine with with either, though admittedly would prefer to keep Bialya and Queen Bee as clean as plausible, but my investment in arguing for either approach is limited.
I kinda feel like faking his death is unnecessary.
Moon isn't a particularly well known figure and nobody is going to be especially suspicious about him leaving LexCorp, that's assuming that anyone even notices. If anything I feel like going through all the hassle of faking his death would just draw more attention and open us up to more danger than just "A random LexCorp scientist was let go today."
Having Moon work on it was a major mistake.
Eh to be completely fair while he is a pain in the ass and he definitely skewed the results table he was the only other biologist we had and we did manage to get it like 70% done with his help.
It wasn't our best decision but it also wasn't a disaster IMO.
The bone serum was originally planned as a cure for various bone issues. While it can (and will probably be) weaponized by us for us to use it for anything but to make bone monsters it needs to...well not make bone monsters. The problem is using Moon on an action takes the choices that do that off of the table because Moons not interested in that. He likes grotesque and disturbing stuff.
Moons' ok for actually weaponizing stuff but for making stuff marketable he's crap. Add that his general low co op scores and how he's likely contributing to Karl's mental instability makes him a not so good hero unit.
Even without focused bio engineering development to create living weapons, the Serum still has vast benefits to durability, strength, and regenerating from wounds, besides the medical aspects. Instead of something the military can only use for expendable shock teams or deniable massacres, entire battalions could be formed depending on the potential compatibility margin.
It's also worth keeping in mind that even once the standard version of the formula is finished, providing various health benefits and a not insignificant increase to strength and regeneration, we can continue working on more specified versions with their own combat capabilities.
Though ideally less "horrific bone monster" and more Kimimaro from Naruto or Spyke from X-Men Evolution.
Lastly I'll ask, is there a character you want me to add to the informational thread about portrayal in other media? I tried to stick mostly to the most relevant characters but I haven't covered even close to half of the characters in "other encountered characters" and I want to know if there's someone who has popped up who people would appreciate having a little more background on.
It may be useful for some people to have sections for Selina and Killer Croc to highlight how different they are from their usual interpretations for those less familiar?
