Only one of these I'm even hesitant on is the Kryptonite one, also I like both of those DOMA deals.

Yeah, we should probably work on that.
Oh Presence my sides.
Poor Lucy.
HmmMMMM. Potentially interesting and gives us... a lot of discreet options to influence young metahumans, obviously. On the other hand, it increases public scrutiny and DOMA scrutiny of us, and of anyone we send to the school ourselves, because we'll be working with children.
Oh, definitely, hands down. Straightforward Learning/Martial action, right up our alley. We just take an "Improve weapons" action or two.
Hmmmm. I think we should spread our points wide rather than deep.
I definitely want to take "robot doubles" because it brings us closer to full-conversion cyborg tech, which gives us:
1) Metallo-like cyborgs, potentially,
2) A very good option for reaching out to the Brain
3) May synergize with some of the A.M.A.Z.O. research
4) Would be an interesting way to turn Marie into a highly loyal and versatile hero capable of posing a serious threat to metahumans, as a fascinating change of pace for her.
Information on the activities of the Red Shadows would sell very well to the US government and might give us clues about all kinds of useful things.
I'm actually NOT so interested in finding the Red Tornado himself, simply because if he doesn't want to be found he can make his objections very violently known. I don't want to find the Red Tornado, I want to build more like him.
Let's see... some combinations.
[ ] [Data] Rudimentary Robot Doubles (3 points)
[ ] [Data] Location of old Red Shadows records (4 points)
[ ] [Data] A lead as to T. O. Morrow's possible location (1 point)
[ ] [Data] Tornado flight systems (7 points)
OR
[ ] [Data] Rudimentary Robot Doubles (3 points)
[ ] [Data] Confirmation of the existence of Vampires (1 point)

[ ] [Data] Red Torpedo tracker (2 points)
[ ] [Data] Red Inferno tracker (4 points)
I am happy to take options (1) through (3), but strongly opposed to (4).
Dr. Rice is not a good choice for Jinx's tutor because of their widely disparate interests and Rice's lack of aptitude at teaching specifically children. Anyone Rice recommends is likely to share similar weaknesses, given her background. We should have hired a high or middle school teacher, not a college professor.
I favor options (2) and (3). We just had a gigantic explosion that killed five of our workers, so this is not a great time to institute "Take Your Child To Work" day in general for the company as a whole.
Plus, well, we do have a massive number of highly secured and in some cases horrifying things in the building, so it's not a good place to take children. Certainly the federal government would be rather upset about us letting children into parts of the building where we work on tech for the military that they no doubt have classified.
(Yes the military and corporations regularly work together on classified projects; it's why people with security clearances are in such high demand).

We get a lot from Red Tornado data, I propose we do the same with other models, especially Red Volcano.
Also, even possible lead should be enough for our super computer.

I would think most things will be pretty easy to agree on but the tornado data vote may be more complicated. Here are my thoughts on what to get from this:
[ ] [Data] Rudimentary Robot Doubles (3 points)
[ ] [Data] Were-Bear protocols (1 point)
[ ] [Data] Confirmation of the existence of Vampires (1 point)
[ ] [Data] Location of old Red Shadows records (4 points)
[ ] [Data] Red Torpedo tracker (2 points)
[ ] [Data] Red Inferno tracker (4 points)
It would give us some useful information now as well as the opportunity to locate torpedo and inferno and get lots of useful information from them in the future (likely by taking them apart and studying them).
[ ] [Data] Rudimentary Robot Doubles (3 points)
[ ] [Data] Were-Bear protocols (1 point)
[ ] [Data] Confirmation of the existence of Vampires (1 point)

[ ] [Data] Red Inferno tracker (4 points)
It would give us some useful information now as well as the opportunity to locate torpedo and inferno and get lots of useful information from them in the future (likely by taking them apart and studying them).
Red Volcano and T.O. Morrow are both very volatile and hard to control. Not to say they're impossible to make use of, but they're a headache.
In contrast, it's likely if we locate Red Inferno and Red Torpedo they'll be in little condition to object to us studying them. Both are more malleable.
I don't actually see the location of the Red Shadows records as being that helpful to us in the short term since they are likely to be in the Soviet Union and thus difficult for us to obtain. It'll provide some interesting history, but we can get that from other sources more easily.
I'd go with:
[ ] [Data] Were-Bear protocols (1 point)
[ ] [Data] Confirmation of the existence of Vampires (1 point)
[ ] [Data] Red Torpedo tracker (2 points)
[ ] [Data] Red Inferno tracker (4 points)
[ ] [Data] Tornado flight systems (7 points)
I think we definitely want Tornado flight systems, it's the most concrete and useful piece of technology we can get from this without having to negotiate with people or jump through hoops- and it makes the Red Tornado tracker a lot less useful.

How do we deal with occasional worker who is no longer able to pass through our wards?
I imagine those wards will make it difficult for us to implement bring your child to work days.
I am against Dr. Morrow and Red Volcano. It will be Ivo situation again.
Inferno and Torpedo are interesting cases. According to the timeline, all are in their disguises and think they are humans right now. And will not "wake up" till mortal danger or till someone activates them. That would be a long-term investment.

Hm. Maybe. On the other hand, actually getting tech from the Red Tornado data might be more important than finding the others. Finding the others is going to be a lot of work and there's no guarantee we'll be able to either subdue them and study them, or get them to consent to come back with us and let us study them.
At some point we need to make sure we're making actionable technological progress directly, not just taking actions that enable us to take actions that enable us to take actions. We can only juggle so many balls at the same time, especially with Superman coming up soon. Superman's activities are likely to cause a lot of impact on the quest, and I don't want to commit us to too many more difficult projects in the near future just so that we can get benefits out of things we've already done.
Given what we know about T. O. Morrow, I don't want to know his location so that I can recruit him. I want to know his location so that I can find out what he's up to. if he's still active, he's probably spent most of the past 35 years conspiring to start a robot apocalypse or something, which means his plans may pressingly need to be canceled.

How do the Tornado flight systems compare to our existing tech? We have 'flight units,' antigravity systems, and whatever Ivo may have developed that we can duplicate; to what extent would these flight systems represent a substantiative upgrade?
I think Jinx would actually do fine with a general-education teacher. I've seen no evidence that she has any learning disorders as such; she has psychiatric issues but they don't directly seem to interfere with instruction. Socialization and classroom management, yes, but we've addressed those by moving her from a classroom environment to home-schooling with a paid professional, which we've already done.
What we DO need is a teacher who can work with traumatized or resistant students, because Jinx is both of those- but that's different from special education, though maybe compatible with what you mean by 'special needs.'
I'd rather stick to (2) and (3), which fold (1) in by default.
Or what if one of our labs explodes, or if we have someone take their child into a secured area where we keep things we don't want just anyone finding out about and a teenage child gets heroic ideas and blabs to the press?

Decided to switch a few things out in my Red Tornado plan.
Note that "Rudimentary Robot Doubles" may ultimately lead to us being able to build Lex-Bots if we want that extra bit of Doom-yness.

Sorry, the tagging didn't take.
I think we need to know:

We didn't need to subdue anyone, I voted for hunting down records and schematics. In other words - data. Also dealing with superman going to take a lot of time, so even if aren't going to commit to this actions right away, having them as options could be useful.

It depends on what you think of as an upgrade. The Tornado flight systems are incapable of going very high but are way more offensively geared and destructive. They are more maneuverable in tight situations at the cost of being slower overall. I'd consider it a side grade with some more benefits down the line as it eases you into some weather manipulation.
