I find it odd to not investigate for moles and spies. They could sabotge all of our projects. Maybe sneak overrides into our camera system for their own use or to cover their tracks, or obtain secret access into our lab or panic room to steal our stuff, steal our research, etc.

I think vetting would be easier once we got surveillance system going. And other options are just more temping.

Turn 1 hero vote
So the vote is now closed and here are the results. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to complete these objectives well. Included with the results are the projected bonuses if heroes were assigned to the task.

[ ] Improve LexCorp forces equipment
DC 10 Training your forces to use the latest cutting edge weapons you have designed is rather easy but it will net you benefits in the long run
(if Luthor assigned +6 to roll, if Mercy assigned +18 to roll, if Mercy and Luthor assigned +29 to roll)

[ ] Fortify LexCorp tower
DC 5 Increasing security around your companies headquarters can only be a good thing. A man's life is only as secure as the house in which he sleeps after all.
(if Luthor assigned +6 to roll, if Mercy assigned +18 to roll, if Mercy and Luthor assigned +29 to roll)

[ ] Donate to the police
DC 10 You've got weapons and armor to spare and the police would be glad to have some. Sure there isn't much for them to do with those things but having the police in your pocket is never a bad thing
(if Luthor assigned +24 to roll, if Mercy assigned +4 to roll, if Mercy and Luthor assigned +35)

[ ] Build a dedicated lab space
DC 3 As the world's premier supergenius you should have your own lab for your various experiments. While LexCorp has plenty of facilities for testing having access to your own private lab allows you to come up with things off the books
(if Luthor assigned +27 to roll, if Mercy assigned +9 to roll, if Mercy and Luthor assigned +48 to roll)

[ ] Create a surveillance system in LexCorp
DC 13 This maybe rather paranoid of you but being able to spy on everyone in your company will ensure they cannot betray you. This hidden system also would allow you to pick up any chatter from your workers about events going on in the city.
(if Luthor assigned +21 to roll, if Mercy assigned +16 to roll, if Mercy and Luthor assigned +47 to roll)

[ ] Learn about cybernetics
DC 25 On the other hand if you want to improve humanity an easier solution would be to replace the hardware altogether. Cybernetics is the field of integrating machinery into living creatures. The avenues this opens up is incredible and you can't wait to see what lies down that road
(if Luthor assigned +25 to roll, if Mercy assigned +10 to roll, if Mercy and Luthor assigned +44 to roll)

[ ] Learn about engineering
DC 5 A general all purpose field of study that can yield results in a variety of different fields. It's always nice to go back to what you know
(if Luthor assigned +25 to roll, if Mercy assigned +10 to roll, if Mercy and Luthor assigned +44 to roll)

[ ] Internal education reform
DC 20 Begin teaching LexCorp employees how to think and give them a background in the sciences. This won't bring your employees up to your level but it will make them more useful and will help cement their loyalty.
(if Luthor assigned +25 to roll, if Mercy assigned +10 to roll, if Mercy and Luthor assigned +44 to roll)


Please vote for how to assign your heroes. All votes in this section must be in plan format and any votes that are not in plan format will be disregarded. You now have to pick between a lot of good options so it'll be interesting to see how this vote pans out.

-[X] Assign Luthor to "Learn about cybernetics"
-[X] Assign Mercy to "Create a surveillance system in LexCorp"

This ensures that the hardest roll will succeed (surpass minimum DC) with Luthor's boost, and an important roll will succeed with Mercy's boost.
