If Isley does robotics she could make plant based parts maybe if we crit.

But I also think if we could assign her to the Star Labs purchase she could increase her stewardship.
 
So, I can see three plans

Plan Reduce Risks
[] Ivo - The A.M.A.Z.O. project
[] Luthor - Investigate Miranda Tate
[] Mercy - Fortify Metropolis
[] Pamela - Purchase controlling stock from S.T.A.R. labs

Plan Use Opportunities
[] Ivo - The A.M.A.Z.O. project
[] Luthor - Investigate Miranda Tate
[] Mercy - Purchase controlling stock from S.T.A.R. labs
[] Pamela -Attend a welcome home party for Bruce Wayne

Plan Focusing
[] Ivo - The A.M.A.Z.O. project
[] Luthor+Mercy - Investigate Miranda Tate

[] Pamela - Learn about robotics

First one has far fewer chances of something going badly in Metropolis. Second gives us get more out of the party and almost guarantees success in procuring S.T.A.R. Pamela shouldn't mind a pseudo-vacation at home city much.
Third one risks a lot both in Metropolis and in the procurement but offers a chance for great advancements in robotics and the investigation. Pamela may not be happy being busy in an indirect cooperation with Ivo

I am fine with either of three. Still prefer the first

You must send someone in the subvote. As far as I can tell Ukranian Rangers post ignores that and focuses solely on the actual vote. All three voting schemes are valid (if lacking in a response to the subvote which should be addressed in the actual plans).
 
Speaking about the party. Who do we send? Luthor alone? Luthor + Mercy as a bodyguard? Luthor + Pamela? Luthor + Pamela + Mercy?

Or we can just send Ivo and ruin Wayne's party....

No.

A hero can give their points to one of the actions and attend the party, they simply won't be focused on the party.

I think Lex and Isley should go. Perhaps the Shadows will be there. Or they will attack LexCorp. I would rather Mercy stay to defend the company.

Time to move Pamela beyond being a simple scientist and trust her doing important things

Hm... I like this plan.

I find it interesting that upon hiring Pamela, we first ruined the life of the jackass that manipulated her, then we used her to produce better armor, showing off her skills, and now we're trusting her to handle a major business transaction as well as having her as our +1 to Wayne's party. I can hardly imagine a better boss.

I still wish we could profit and use our expertise more efficiently by setting up our construction company first, but it's not the end of the world, plus we will likely need to update the city defences again eventually even if this action crits. Hopefully, we can still use the lessons from fortifying Lex Tower. Perhaps we can use our Tower and city as an advertisement of our speciality in

Don't have many expectations when it comes to this party except for meeting the players in Gotham, just hope that the League hasn't assigned Bruce a hanger-on who will take the opportunity to perform an assassination attempt or worse will try to turn him against us. At least I suspect that Bruce would be wary if his mentor warned him about Luthor.

S.T.A.R. Labs needs to go right because trying to purchase them again will likely be an uphill battle from here on out and Ivo, of course, is best suited to plugging away at our Manhatten Project plus hopefully helping us develop new robotics and computing products along the way.

Btw, sorry to bother you about this again, @King crimson, but I mentioned before that I would like to spend all 100 exp to increase intrigue, I may have missed that response but I just wanted to make sure you knew that. Thanks!

Also, anyone else who has the 900 additional exp (or a portion of it) now needed to reach 22, since we are likely to have Lex do intrigue this turn now is a good time to help ensure the numbers are a little more in our favour, also since this skill will be important for us to have personally (if in a crisis we are for example put on the spot) but is lagging behind some of our best skills. In my opinion anyway.
