Sorry I missed it. You can suggest them and I'll certainly give exp if it's not an option I already have but I'd prefer if you don't since I don't want to have to rely on my memory to include those options later. On top of that you might want to wait for the informational post on how Nemesis Actions work.

@King crimson do you have any idea about when you will be closing the votes and if the results turn 1 will also come out during the weekend?
Also Ivo is an ungrateful jackass and I really hate those kind of people. Hey Ivo, maybe we should let you die next time, you jackass.

The update is being delayed because my computer is behaving bizarrely right now. I hope to get things up soon
Edit: So I've dealt with the technical issue but I can say that it will not come up fast as you've had multiple planetary successes this turn and what I believe is your biggest failure ever twice over (you had two failures this turn greater than any you've previously experienced). This turn was extreme to say the least.

Why would is that a bad thing Amazo has a high enough dc that short of a nat 100 it will fail but we still get a tech out of itAhh fuck what do you guys think failed? I'm betting on Amazo crit failing

I think the only things we could have failed that bad were Amazo and investigating Bradford's death and maybe investigating the unknown individual. I am curious as to what our successes were though.

I'm thinking its either
[ ] Investigate Bradford Sackett's death (DC ???)
[ ] Investigate the unknown individual (DC 88)
and/or
[ ] The A.M.A.Z.O. project (DC 175)
Everything else wouldn't be too bad based on low DC or how many heroes were assigned....just a guess.
Fingers crossed on planetary successes being major game changers
Edit. lol @Silvereagle21 beat me to it

@King crimson did any of our hero units die?

Unless some of the bonuses we had in play last time are unavailable, "investigate [the Brain]" can only fail by about 20 under the DC or so. Bad but not impossibly bad I'd hope/think.
"Investigate Bradford Sackett's death" seems like it would be hard to screw up with bad fallout, given that we have good control over the police. I'd think. I could be wrong.
Fortunately, our investigative duo are also Martial badasses, so there's a good chance of them surviving if things go south.
A disastrous failure on A.M.A.Z.O. is hardly unlikely; we were quite simply forced to bank on that project critting for it to succeed at all, but Ivo is such a raging dickhead that we couldn't abandon the project even for a turn or two to improve the chances of success overall without turning him against us, so lol whatever.

If any of our heroes were harmed, hopefully its just a turn or two in the hospital. What I'm more worried about is a low roll causing a crisis mini-turn, or even starting up a war with another group. A slightly bad roll we can usually try again next time with a modified DC, but a catastrophic roll can cause us to need to devote everything to fixing it. Need to wonder if our rolls failed due to enemy interference(counter-roll). Turn 11 we failed A.M.A.Z.O. by 15 (DC70 we got 55 with bonuses) and Ivo was hospitalized, but Intergang tried to assassinate Ivo and failed by 2 (DC95 they rolled 93), so lots to factor in how it plays out.

So assuming a super critical failure on amazo what do you think would happened my bet is that ivo screwed up enough that a massive explosion occured in his lab and he and marie as well as many lex corp workers are dead.

Aspiring Gynoid

- She/Her
The investigative team accidentally framed themselves just before Lois Lane popped in to do her own investigation.
An accident with the mind scanner caused Ivo and Marie to switch bodies. Now not only can we not rely on Ivo to die on his own, but our PR rep isn't suitable for her role, and fixing that is locked behind a DC 200 action to teach Ivo a very special lesson about respecting people with different life circumstances.

I wish that would happen because it would mean we can now cure marie by making a clone body for her and transfering her mind into that. Shame about ivo not dying though.

I think I got everything for this turn. It was kind of a mess. I'm quite interested in hearing what people think of this update cause a lot of stuff happened and we haven't even gotten into everything else that occurred this turn. Some big opportunities have come into play but some major fuckups that will draw unwanted attention to you have occurred as well. Superman is almost here so I'm really curious how you'll respond to some of the subvotes. This was probably the most extreme turn you've ever had with the discrepancy between the biggest failure and success being absolutely massive. Let me know if I missed something cause there is a lot going on this turn.
There were a lot of tie votes for some options so I flipped a coin multiple times to get the final results. The winning votes from last time were:
[ ] [Lex] Look into the Japanese market
[ ] [Mercy] Inform Carl of his new positions responsibilities
[ ] [Pam] Sunbathe
[ ] [Roxy] Try to convince Rebecca to let her roast marshmallows on hellfire
[ ] [Cass] Play games with Jinx
[ ] [Dahl] Thank Samuel for the mirror he gave her
[ ] [Cub] Show four armed monkey that he will not be vanquished
[ ] [Monkey] Collect hidden fruit stashes (Collect fruit baskets Mercy places in hard to reach locations)
Turn 18 Results Part 1
Fate is both cruel and kind. You have grown relaxed with your lack of enemies, assured of your own invincibility. It has lead you to grow somewhat sloppy. You personally have succeeded incredibly but it seems not all of your workers are as capable of staying focused without an outside threat to unite against. Incredible highs and incredible lows have come in these past few months. So long as you remain vigilant you will not have any weaknesses to exploit and your gains more than make up for your losses but it is frustrating to be stunted by others incompetence.
Your Actions
[ ] Assist the US Government with the war effort in Santa Prisca
DC 20
Roll 44 + 17 (Katherine martial stat)= 61
Major success
Katherine has successfully managed to continue coordinating Serial Peacemaking with the US government and has been running operations smoothly. Your company has established its credo as a reliable and efficient PMC that is willing to get the job done. The troops sent over have now hardened and Katherine has even picked up a few traits. With the war on the verge of ending you are quite satisfied with the progress you have managed to make.
Results: Reputation with the military increased, Rookie soldiers upgraded to Vetrans, Katherine martial stat + 1.
[ ] Fortify LexCorp tower
DC 35
Roll 3 + 8 (Carl martial stat) + 45 (Carl trait) = 54
Decent success
Carl has successfully managed to increase the fortifications on your tower. While it is nothing incredibly impressive he has installed a new layer on the glass of the windows of the building allowing them to refract and diffuse light based attacks while also significantly upgrading its resistance to being melted.
Results: Building is now laser proof and is intensely heat resistant to the point where you would need to pour magma on the windows to get them to melt.
[ ] Consult with the DOMA
DC 12
Roll 39 + 25 (Pamela diplomacy stat) = 64
Amazing success
Pamela has managed to consult with the DOMA on multiple subjects. In particular she has given the DOMA a better understanding of how to counter Woodrue's power and has let them know that the powers he gained would not be the same across every person. She has managed to demonstrated principles to counter his apparent regeneration that would prove quite useful and developed a necrotic poison that would only target his biology. Most significantly Director Prince of the DOMA has come forward with an intriguing deal that might be worth taking.
Results: Reputation with the DOMA significantly improved, necrotic poison that only targets Woodrue developed, Diana's deal subvote.
[ ] Recruit Lucy Lane as a personal lawyer
DC 33
Roll 28 + 15 (Roxanne diplomacy stat) + 10 (Lisa Snart diplomacy stat times coop score with Roxanne rounded up)
Total 53
Significant success
In the end Lucy Lane has been won over and has become willing to work as your own personal lawyer. This is quite a coup against her sister as it means you have succeeded in binding her intimately to your cause. Lucy is now working for you and solely you and as such will be inducted into the inner circle of LexCorp. Even without touching on her own capabilities the potential contacts she can give you are impressive and will only help further your standing. Roxanne and Lisa deserve a commendation for succeeding in this task you have put off for so long.
Results: Lucy Lane recruited as personal lawyer (she'll be a hero unit under your direct control), contacts with General Sam Lane have now opened up.
[ ] Release what you have
DC 0
Roll 99 + 14 (Oswald stewardship stat) + 82 (reroll bonus) + 14 (Oswald stewardship stat) + 10 (Oswald trait)
Total 219
Absolutely Stupendously Massive success
Oswald has once again blown all expectations completely out of the water. The new channel he has created has proven immensely successful and the ratings are in. On top of that he contacted numerous individuals if they were willing to fill in certain time slots with their own ideas for shows and such and has already struck quite a few potential advertising deals. The money is already flowing in and while it is likely you'll need to keep creating content to keep this channel profitable for now both children and adults are enraptured by your programming and critics cannot help but praise Lightyear Entertainment.
Results: Name the Channel subvote, Advertising subvote, Outside Shows Subvote, tv shows produced have become a cultural phenomenon within the American Public, your fortune has massively increased, Oswald's TV Wizard trait is boosted to now give + 15.
[ ] Repair the damaged Supercomputer
DC 0
Auto-success
Repairing the supercomputer was an annoyingly long process but since you had a way to inform the crew repairing it just what to do they managed to fix it up without any incidents occurring. Admittedly how it got damaged in the first place is unknown but the supercomputer is now up and running again.
Results: Supercomputer fixed, supercomputer special actions will be available again next turn
[ ] Develop and sell high fashion clothing
DC 28 - 15 (Mari trait) = 13
Roll 52 + 16 (Mari stewardship stat) + 12 (Daphne Dean contribution)
80
Amazing success
Mari's latest line of clothing has been flying off the shelves in peoples rush to buy it as quickly as possible. With significant help from Daphne Dean in advertising this new line, McCabe fashion has become one of the most popular brands in Hollywood. As such your new clothing line has become a status symbol in and of itself. As such you have made both lots of money and many people are more impressed than ever with Mari's business.
Results: Mari Stewardship + 2, McCabe Fashion's new line is now incredibly popular amongst the rich particularly Hollywood celebrities, a decent amount of money was made
[ ] Develop a social media platform
DC 34
Roll 26 + 22 (Felicity stewardship stat) + 19 (Carol stewardship stat times coop score with Felicity rounded up)
Total 67
Significant success
Your social media platform is now up and running. It initially began life as a way for members at Ferris Aerospace to stay in contact with each other but Felicity has since expanded it to be available to anyone. The platform is still rather new and while many early adopters are fond of it the entirety of the public has not jumped aboard. Still this is your first step into this market and since literally no one else is competing with you in this space now you'll be able to dominate it at your leisure.
Results: Social media platform created with a decently sized user base, slight interest by niche advertisers, Name the Social Media subvote
[ ] Build a secret lab in a remote location
DC 16
Roll 56 + 15 (Dr. Moon stewardship stat) = 71
Incredible success
The lab that you have constructed to Dr. Moon's specifications out in Alaska is a way to keep him well out of the public eye. Fortunately Dr. Moon was quite happy to have a place where he could work away from prying eyes. A decently sized private laboratory that is notably off the books has been successfully created. Most important of all though is that you have installed some camera's in Dr. Moon's new lab to ensure that you can keep an eye on what he gets up to.
Results: New laboratory created in Alaska with some equipment to monitor Dr. Moon preinstalled.
[ ] Build a new LexCorp building (Vienna)
DC 21
Roll 75
Astonishing success
You don't know what exactly happened to get the construction on this building to occur so quickly but for some reason the building in Vienna was completed far faster than any other building you have made other than the one in Jump City. You aren't about to look a gift horse in the mouth though. All in al while the security certainly needs to be improved there having another building already up will only increase LexCorp's productivity.
Results: New building up in Vienna, +1 action every turn
[ ] Begin producing hologram technology
DC 10
Roll 55
Major success
Hologram technology is immensely useful for you to have, especially as Lightyear Entertainment has now found critical acclaim. You now have enough of the tech to use it for yourself and your factories could easily churn out more for mass consumption. All in all another tool for your use has been obtained.
Results: You can now freely use and install the hologram technology you have within LexCorp, the option to sell hologram technology is now available.
[ ] Investigate Bradford Sackett's death
DC 84
Roll 42 + 17 (Rose intrigue stat) + 23 (Mercy intrigue stat times coop score with Rose rounded up) + 10 (Mercy trait)
Total 92
Bare success
Bradford Sackett's death is an immensely challenging conundrum to work around. Mercy decided to let Rose take the lead on this case to get her used to the more investigative side of working for LexCorp security. Unfortunately there is very little information on this case. Bradford Sackett was not liked by many people and had no close friends or family. All of Bradford's personal records were burned sometime but it is unclear whether it was before or after he died. As such further investigation is warranted.
Results: Learned that someone burned all of Bradford Sackett's records at some point.
[ ] Build surveillance satellites
DC 32
Roll 65 + 28 (Samuel intrigue stat + trait boost) + 13 (Leonard intrigue stat times coop score with Samuel) + 24 (reroll bonus) + 28 (Samuel intrigue stat + trait boost) + 13 (Leonard intrigue stat times coop score with Samuel)
Total 171
Planetary success
Samuel has somehow proven surprisingly competent. Using the facilities at Ferris Aerospace and his own knowledge of cameras Samuel has managed to launch hundreds of surveillance satellites into the atmosphere. You know are able to monitor most of the globe freely and can track any unusual occurrences worldwide. While you aren't able to pinpoint every individual on the planet, no army or organization can move in the open without you being able to observe them. Leonard even managed to spin a lie to the world that these cameras were going to be used as part of a new Lex-Phone application that would give users a real-time map of the world. As such most people have accepted this as fine. The one thing that has occurred is that the US government has requested your permission to use the satellites to covertly spy on others. You wouldn't be surprised if other governments joined in. All in all things have become quite successful for you.
Results: Satellites give you an active map of the world and while they struggle to pinpoint individuals they can effectively watch virtually every major location in the world. The public is unaware of the capability of these satellites to spy on them and most people at LexCorp are accepting of it. Map app devlopment enabled. US Request subvote. Samuel's trait now gives + 12 to his stat. Leonard gains the trait Cold Comfort, which gives him an additional + 4 to his intrigue, martial and stewardship stats for every unit with a coop score of + 1 or more with him on any action he is the leader in.
[ ] Investigate the unknown individual
DC 88
Roll 20 + 21 (Nygma intrigue stat + trait boost) + 14 (Cerise Orielle intrigue stat times coop score with Nygma rounded up)
Total 55
Significant failure
Things have started to go wrong. In an attempt to figure out just how the unknown individual was killing people Nygma and Cerise attempted to magically reconstruct just what the individual did. This ended up backfiring hard as once the attempt was replicated Cerise immediately began screaming in immense pain before falling into a coma. The unknown individual is now likely aware that someone has attempted to replicate their trick. Cerise is likely to recover from this soon but this was significantly worse than what you were expecting.
Results: Cerise unable to be assigned to any actions next turn, options to investigate Cerise opened up now, the unknown individual is now likely aware that someone tried to copy their trick.
[ ] Learn about Kryptonite
DC 44
Roll 62 + 19 (Rebecca learning stat) + 12 (Mick Learning stat times coop score with Rebecca rounded up)
Total 93
Astounding success
Rebecca and Mick have proven to be immensely successful in bringing out various unknown qualities of Kryptonite. They have made numerous critical discoveries that could lend themselves to many quite useful applications. While some of the information they've gleaned is esoteric for dealing with normal problems it would prove absolutely invaluable for dealing with certain kinds of entities.
Results: Learn about Kryptonite subvote
[ ] Learn from the Red Tornado data
DC 78
Roll 75 + 36 (Lex learning stat) + 16 (Karl learning stat times coop score with Lex rounded up) + 36 (Cassandra learning stat minus trait penalty times coop score with Lex) + 10 (Lex trait) + 48 (Reroll bonus) + 36 (Lex learning stat) + 16 (Karl learning stat times coop score with Lex rounded up) + 36 (Cassandra learning stat minus trait penalty times coop score with Lex) + 10 (Lex trait) + 9 (Second reroll bonus) + 36 (Lex learning stat) + 16 (Karl learning stat times coop score with Lex rounded up) + 36 (Cassandra learning stat minus trait penalty times coop score with Lex) + 10 (Lex trait)
Total 426
Planetary success
You have done it. The Red Tornado data was incomplete but with a mind as brilliant as yours you could easily extrapolate numerous benefits from it. You have once again come up with a way to utterly change the world you are living in. This latest feat completely blows all other feats of robotics out of the water and has enabled you to begin producing a better class of combat robots. Your genius is unmatched and this breakthrough has given you the means to produce your own army. Admittedly it is probably inferior to the original Red Tornado but you can swiftly overcome that limitation.
Results: Gained self-aware but slightly unstable AI, gained high energy turbines, gained cyclone flight capabilities, gained water proof wiring, gained heat resistant wiring, Lex's Leader of the furture trait now gives + 7 for every hero unit assigned to the same action as him, Lex's Learning + 2, Cassandra's Father Daughter Bond now gives + 60 whenever Lex teaches her something, Cassandra Luthor's learning + 3, Karl Helfern-Lex Luthor coop score +0.2, Cassandra Luthor-Karl Helfern coop score +0.1, Karl Helfern learning + 1, Karl gains the trait Armor Analyst which adds + 5 to any roll of his which involves armor in some way, Tornado of Data subvote
[ ] The A.M.A.Z.O. project
DC 175
Roll 23 + 33 (Ivo learning stat) + 12 (Marie learning stat times coop score with Ivo rounded up) + 7 (Ivo trait)
Total 75
Unmitigated failure
The project has finally cost you. Numerous times Ivo has fallen short of what was expected of him. However this was arguably the worst failure yet. You are absolutely livid over the sheer scope of incompetence displayed here. Apparently Ivo had been messing around with antimatter of all things. He had kept it secret from virtually everyone else. Of course Ivo then had a sudden bout of organ failure and Marie had rushed him to the hospital. Of course this then left your scientists alone in Ivo's lab when he had told them that the next step was to make antimatter. What Ivo had forgot to mention was that he did not have a way to safely contain antimatter. The ensuing explosion killed 5 scientists and set back the AMAZO project by heavily damaging the work already done. This setback is even worse as it was visible outside of the tower and now many people are curious as to just what happened. You are absolutely furious and you refuse to let this setback caused by idiocy prevent your plans.
Results: Ivo hospitalized and will not be available to you next turn, 5 LexCorp scientists killed, an explosion was visible to the public who are now curious about it, 5 more steps added to the AMAZO project, Lois Lane Interview subvote obtained the ability to make antimatter.
[ ] [Jinx] Educate Jinx about writing and literature
DC 23
Roll 30 + 8 (Jinx learning stat) = 38
Decent success
Jinx has ended up enjoying her self study time. The girl continues to improve herself. Admittedly what she has learned from both books and writing is how to be slightly more manipulative and persuasive but it is still a useful trait to have in a minion. Improving Jinx's rhetoric was an unintended side effect of letting her enjoy herself but it has seemed to be a useful bonus.
Results: Jinx's argumentation skills improved, Jinx's diplomacy + 1
[ ] [Bane] Sell captured Intergang weapons to LexCorp
DC 24
Roll 6 + 22 (Birdy, Trogg and Zombie contribution) = 26
Bare success
While Bane has successfullt sold you some of the weapons he has in his possession the US government has begun to crack down on the distribution of them out of the country. As such if Bane had not had his best men organizing the transaction it is likely that you would have both landed in hot water. What he has managed to sell you is nothing too impressive but improving upon forcefield and laser canon technology is quite useful. Bane has requested that you let things cool off a bit before he sells you more weapons though.
Results: Obtained Intergang laser canons and personal portable forcefields. Bane requests that you let the heat die down a bit. Bane has made a decent amount of money from this transaction.
[ ] [Bane] Look for secret weapons
DC 53
Roll 61
Bare success
Bane was successful in finding that a secret weapon had been in the country but had since been moved out of it once things had become too unstable. While he does not know where it is he has heard mention of a "Pain Matrix" that seems to fall under what you are looking for.
Results: Obtained knowledge of the existence of a "Pain Matrix" but are unaware where it really is
[ ] [Jobs] Change some titles and positions (Change Emily Rice's job to part time tutor for Cassandra Luthor)
Emily Rice was very accommodating with this change and was quite happy with it. She did ask for an increase in salary but the amount you are paying her is such a pittance that you could easily have afforded to pay ten times the price she asked for and not have noticed it. She did mention that she would like to have it be on record that she tutored Cassandra Luthor to in turn further her own career when Cassandra inevitably revolutionized some industry. You now merely have to do a bit of negotiating but you are sure you can ensure the deal will be heavily in your favor.
Results: Rice renegotiation subvote
[ ] [Jobs] Add an additional title or position to a unit (Make Carl Draper head of the DIR)
Carl Draper has taken to his new position with enthusiasm. The increased pay is something he appreciates and the ability to essentially be "a psychological prison warden" intrigues and inspires him. He has grown to become far more disliked by the rank and file of LexCorp and many people look on him with fear and suspicion but Carl doesn't care. In fact he is so happy with the new position that he is excited to try and bring his daughter to work so she can see him in his new job.
Results: Carl coop scores changed, Carl gains better pay, the DIR running at peak efficiency at the cost of inducing terror in people in the company, Draper's Daughter subvote.
There were a lot of tie votes for some options so I flipped a coin multiple times to get the final results. The winning votes from last time were:
[ ] [Lex] Look into the Japanese market
[ ] [Mercy] Inform Carl of his new positions responsibilities
[ ] [Pam] Sunbathe
[ ] [Roxy] Try to convince Rebecca to let her roast marshmallows on hellfire
[ ] [Cass] Play games with Jinx
[ ] [Dahl] Thank Samuel for the mirror he gave her
[ ] [Cub] Show four armed monkey that he will not be vanquished
[ ] [Monkey] Collect hidden fruit stashes (Collect fruit baskets Mercy places in hard to reach locations)

On top of that he contacted numerous individuals if they were willing to fill in certain time slots with their own ideas for shows and such and has already struck quite a few potential advertising deals.

Roll 52 + 16 (Mari stewardship stat) + 12 (Daphne Dean contribution)
80
Amazing success
Mari's latest line of clothing has been flying off the shelves in peoples rush to buy it as quickly as possible. With significant help from Daphne Dean in advertising this new line, McCabe fashion has become one of the most popular brands in Hollywood. As such your new clothing line has become a status symbol in and of itself. As such you have made both lots of money and many people are more impressed than ever with Mari's business.
Results: Mari Stewardship + 2, McCabe Fashion's new line is now incredibly popular amongst the rich particularly Hollywood celebrities, a decent amount of money was made
[ ] Develop a social media platform
DC 34
Roll 26 + 22 (Felicity stewardship stat) + 19 (Carol stewardship stat times coop score with Felicity rounded up)
Total 67
Significant success
Your social media platform is now up and running. It initially began life as a way for members at Ferris Aerospace to stay in contact with each other but Felicity has since expanded it to be available to anyone. The platform is still rather new and while many early adopters are fond of it the entirety of the public has not jumped aboard. Still this is your first step into this market and since literally no one else is competing with you in this space now you'll be able to dominate it at your leisure.
Results: Social media platform created with a decently sized user base, slight interest by niche advertisers, Name the Social Media subvote
[ ] Build a secret lab in a remote location
DC 16
Roll 56 + 15 (Dr. Moon stewardship stat) = 71
Incredible success
The lab that you have constructed to Dr. Moon's specifications out in Alaska is a way to keep him well out of the public eye. Fortunately Dr. Moon was quite happy to have a place where he could work away from prying eyes. A decently sized private laboratory that is notably off the books has been successfully created. Most important of all though is that you have installed some camera's in Dr. Moon's new lab to ensure that you can keep an eye on what he gets up to.
Results: New laboratory created in Alaska with some equipment to monitor Dr. Moon preinstalled.
[ ] Build a new LexCorp building (Vienna)
DC 21
Roll 75
Astonishing success
You don't know what exactly happened to get the construction on this building to occur so quickly but for some reason the building in Vienna was completed far faster than any other building you have made other than the one in Jump City. You aren't about to look a gift horse in the mouth though. All in al while the security certainly needs to be improved there having another building already up will only increase LexCorp's productivity.
Results: New building up in Vienna, +1 action every turn
[ ] Begin producing hologram technology
DC 10
Roll 55
Major success
Hologram technology is immensely useful for you to have, especially as Lightyear Entertainment has now found critical acclaim. You now have enough of the tech to use it for yourself and your factories could easily churn out more for mass consumption. All in all another tool for your use has been obtained.
Results: You can now freely use and install the hologram technology you have within LexCorp, the option to sell hologram technology is now available.
[ ] Investigate Bradford Sackett's death
DC 84
Roll 42 + 17 (Rose intrigue stat) + 23 (Mercy intrigue stat times coop score with Rose rounded up) + 10 (Mercy trait)
Total 92
Bare success
Bradford Sackett's death is an immensely challenging conundrum to work around. Mercy decided to let Rose take the lead on this case to get her used to the more investigative side of working for LexCorp security. Unfortunately there is very little information on this case. Bradford Sackett was not liked by many people and had no close friends or family. All of Bradford's personal records were burned sometime but it is unclear whether it was before or after he died. As such further investigation is warranted.
Results: Learned that someone burned all of Bradford Sackett's records at some point.
[ ] Build surveillance satellites
DC 32
Roll 65 + 28 (Samuel intrigue stat + trait boost) + 13 (Leonard intrigue stat times coop score with Samuel) + 24 (reroll bonus) + 28 (Samuel intrigue stat + trait boost) + 13 (Leonard intrigue stat times coop score with Samuel)
Total 171
Planetary success
Samuel has somehow proven surprisingly competent. Using the facilities at Ferris Aerospace and his own knowledge of cameras Samuel has managed to launch hundreds of surveillance satellites into the atmosphere. You know are able to monitor most of the globe freely and can track any unusual occurrences worldwide. While you aren't able to pinpoint every individual on the planet, no army or organization can move in the open without you being able to observe them. Leonard even managed to spin a lie to the world that these cameras were going to be used as part of a new Lex-Phone application that would give users a real-time map of the world. As such most people have accepted this as fine. The one thing that has occurred is that the US government has requested your permission to use the satellites to covertly spy on others. You wouldn't be surprised if other governments joined in. All in all things have become quite successful for you.
Results: Satellites give you an active map of the world and while they struggle to pinpoint individuals they can effectively watch virtually every major location in the world. The public is unaware of the capability of these satellites to spy on them and most people at LexCorp are accepting of it. Map app devlopment enabled. US Request subvote. Samuel's trait now gives + 12 to his stat. Leonard gains the trait Cold Comfort, which gives him an additional + 4 to his intrigue, martial and stewardship stats for every unit with a coop score of + 1 or more with him on any action he is the leader in.
[ ] Investigate the unknown individual
DC 88
Roll 20 + 21 (Nygma intrigue stat + trait boost) + 14 (Cerise Orielle intrigue stat times coop score with Nygma rounded up)
Total 55
Significant failure
Things have started to go wrong. In an attempt to figure out just how the unknown individual was killing people Nygma and Cerise attempted to magically reconstruct just what the individual did. This ended up backfiring hard as once the attempt was replicated Cerise immediately began screaming in immense pain before falling into a coma. The unknown individual is now likely aware that someone has attempted to replicate their trick. Cerise is likely to recover from this soon but this was significantly worse than what you were expecting.
Results: Cerise unable to be assigned to any actions next turn, options to investigate Cerise opened up now, the unknown individual is now likely aware that someone tried to copy their trick.
[ ] Learn about Kryptonite
DC 44
Roll 62 + 19 (Rebecca learning stat) + 12 (Mick Learning stat times coop score with Rebecca rounded up)
Total 93
Astounding success
Rebecca and Mick have proven to be immensely successful in bringing out various unknown qualities of Kryptonite. They have made numerous critical discoveries that could lend themselves to many quite useful applications. While some of the information they've gleaned is esoteric for dealing with normal problems it would prove absolutely invaluable for dealing with certain kinds of entities.
Results: Learn about Kryptonite subvote
[ ] Learn from the Red Tornado data
DC 78
Roll 75 + 36 (Lex learning stat) + 16 (Karl learning stat times coop score with Lex rounded up) + 36 (Cassandra learning stat minus trait penalty times coop score with Lex) + 10 (Lex trait) + 48 (Reroll bonus) + 36 (Lex learning stat) + 16 (Karl learning stat times coop score with Lex rounded up) + 36 (Cassandra learning stat minus trait penalty times coop score with Lex) + 10 (Lex trait) + 9 (Second reroll bonus) + 36 (Lex learning stat) + 16 (Karl learning stat times coop score with Lex rounded up) + 36 (Cassandra learning stat minus trait penalty times coop score with Lex) + 10 (Lex trait)
Total 426
Planetary success
You have done it. The Red Tornado data was incomplete but with a mind as brilliant as yours you could easily extrapolate numerous benefits from it. You have once again come up with a way to utterly change the world you are living in. This latest feat completely blows all other feats of robotics out of the water and has enabled you to begin producing a better class of combat robots. Your genius is unmatched and this breakthrough has given you the means to produce your own army. Admittedly it is probably inferior to the original Red Tornado but you can swiftly overcome that limitation.
Results: Gained self-aware but slightly unstable AI, gained high energy turbines, gained cyclone flight capabilities, gained water proof wiring, gained heat resistant wiring, Lex's Leader of the furture trait now gives + 7 for every hero unit assigned to the same action as him, Lex's Learning + 2, Cassandra's Father Daughter Bond now gives + 60 whenever Lex teaches her something, Cassandra Luthor's learning + 3, Karl Helfern-Lex Luthor coop score +0.2, Cassandra Luthor-Karl Helfern coop score +0.1, Karl Helfern learning + 1, Karl gains the trait Armor Analyst which adds + 5 to any roll of his which involves armor in some way, Tornado of Data subvote
[ ] The A.M.A.Z.O. project
DC 175
Roll 23 + 33 (Ivo learning stat) + 12 (Marie learning stat times coop score with Ivo rounded up) + 7 (Ivo trait)
Total 75
Unmitigated failure
The project has finally cost you. Numerous times Ivo has fallen short of what was expected of him. However this was arguably the worst failure yet. You are absolutely livid over the sheer scope of incompetence displayed here. Apparently Ivo had been messing around with antimatter of all things. He had kept it secret from virtually everyone else. Of course Ivo then had a sudden bout of organ failure and Marie had rushed him to the hospital. Of course this then left your scientists alone in Ivo's lab when he had told them that the next step was to make antimatter. What Ivo had forgot to mention was that he did not have a way to safely contain antimatter. The ensuing explosion killed 5 scientists and set back the AMAZO project by heavily damaging the work already done. This setback is even worse as it was visible outside of the tower and now many people are curious as to just what happened. You are absolutely furious and you refuse to let this setback caused by idiocy prevent your plans.
Results: Ivo hospitalized and will not be available to you next turn, 5 LexCorp scientists killed, an explosion was visible to the public who are now curious about it, 5 more steps added to the AMAZO project, Lois Lane Interview subvote obtained the ability to make antimatter.
[ ] [Jinx] Educate Jinx about writing and literature
DC 23
Roll 30 + 8 (Jinx learning stat) = 38
Decent success
Jinx has ended up enjoying her self study time. The girl continues to improve herself. Admittedly what she has learned from both books and writing is how to be slightly more manipulative and persuasive but it is still a useful trait to have in a minion. Improving Jinx's rhetoric was an unintended side effect of letting her enjoy herself but it has seemed to be a useful bonus.
Results: Jinx's argumentation skills improved, Jinx's diplomacy + 1
[ ] [Bane] Sell captured Intergang weapons to LexCorp
DC 24
Roll 6 + 22 (Birdy, Trogg and Zombie contribution) = 26
Bare success
While Bane has successfullt sold you some of the weapons he has in his possession the US government has begun to crack down on the distribution of them out of the country. As such if Bane had not had his best men organizing the transaction it is likely that you would have both landed in hot water. What he has managed to sell you is nothing too impressive but improving upon forcefield and laser canon technology is quite useful. Bane has requested that you let things cool off a bit before he sells you more weapons though.
Results: Obtained Intergang laser canons and personal portable forcefields. Bane requests that you let the heat die down a bit. Bane has made a decent amount of money from this transaction.
[ ] [Bane] Look for secret weapons
DC 53
Roll 61
Bare success
Bane was successful in finding that a secret weapon had been in the country but had since been moved out of it once things had become too unstable. While he does not know where it is he has heard mention of a "Pain Matrix" that seems to fall under what you are looking for.
Results: Obtained knowledge of the existence of a "Pain Matrix" but are unaware where it really is
[ ] [Jobs] Change some titles and positions (Change Emily Rice's job to part time tutor for Cassandra Luthor)
Emily Rice was very accommodating with this change and was quite happy with it. She did ask for an increase in salary but the amount you are paying her is such a pittance that you could easily have afforded to pay ten times the price she asked for and not have noticed it. She did mention that she would like to have it be on record that she tutored Cassandra Luthor to in turn further her own career when Cassandra inevitably revolutionized some industry. You now merely have to do a bit of negotiating but you are sure you can ensure the deal will be heavily in your favor.
Results: Rice renegotiation subvote
[ ] [Jobs] Add an additional title or position to a unit (Make Carl Draper head of the DIR)
Carl Draper has taken to his new position with enthusiasm. The increased pay is something he appreciates and the ability to essentially be "a psychological prison warden" intrigues and inspires him. He has grown to become far more disliked by the rank and file of LexCorp and many people look on him with fear and suspicion but Carl doesn't care. In fact he is so happy with the new position that he is excited to try and bring his daughter to work so she can see him in his new job.
Results: Carl coop scores changed, Carl gains better pay, the DIR running at peak efficiency at the cost of inducing terror in people in the company, Draper's Daughter subvote.

So we let ivo die right please? We already have anti matter and that should be enough.

Do you realize that AMAZO give us a good chance of winning even against the goddammed Darksaid, no?

I...see this as an absolute win.
Though get Ivo back. He gives us new tech every time.

We do not need ivo to complete amazo we already have a ton of data pertaining to it and can lower it's dc by taking learning actions like robotics while ivo makes the dc of amazo lower by a lot his personality leaves much to be desired and remember that ivo's goal is to upload himself into amazo making him a god.

- USA
I mean we still have 10 more steps to do AMAZO so even bringing Ivo back the chance he lives through all those steps is very small, more so since the DC increases with each step.
edit- Cassandra is now the third best at learning behind only Ivo and Lex
22 learning, with the -1 from her trait when working with lex we have +38 (lex learning) +42 (cassandra coop bonus) +7 per roll from lex leading, so a +80 with a +7 per roll and only needing a 20 to hit a reroll.... Father-Daughter power house... now if we could only get those two a second personal action so they can do a cassandra action each turn.
