Leaves us with 2 flexible AP depending on the situation showing up, which is going to be a pain. Ideally we'll get some direction to start for clearing the name as I expect an audit would expose things we do not want exposed about the project.

Yeh we crit on Info atleast and for ND missions, we know Handyman is ace for dealing with Shroud. I dount the Crusade have anyone better than literal shapeshifter at P9. Especially with Wulong Auto criting our operaitons checks.

Though the rest of our team might need to stall crusade.
 
I think it's in the name.

It's a pun on 'social butterfly', and 'socialite', a word for a rich person.

Assuming for a second that she isn't Key, because neither of them recognized her- What if she doesn't want power or domination, just to maintain a rich, party-filled lifestyle, damn whoever gets in her way? Like an old-world courtesan who moves from sugar daddy to sugar daddy. Like Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Like Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast At Tiffany's.

That's why she's going for Yara: One clone of her, and she gets to live in the lap of luxury courtesy of the biggest megacorp on the planet. All she do is find her, touch her, and then kill and replace her.
 
Anyway unless our Info crit means thre are better missions for our 2 ap

I think this plan works:
Cenotaph 1 Ap
Meet the Rookies 1AP
Puella Magi 1AP
Hero Worship 2AP
Longs shadows of the Night 2AP

Dont bitch out on dealing with Crusade both on PR and taking down Monarch forces.

I thinks it best to go for P13 for our psychic, anyone weaker would just get played by The Hand and his cronies.

Also frankly, we need time to figure out a good psychic build. The shift in how quick its mattering is making me consider going from John battlefield commander into just giving him a Deadman or Umibozu with Soldier X build for a decent mid cost who won't go down easy unless reusing Chatroom is on the cards, as that's probably a big P13 psychic component.

My one concern is Mahou is hit 5 and and Hero Worship is hit 10 already, while this will have increased hit requirements. At this point its a question of how high the hit reqs got scaled to and how much can our hero pool handle.

I already floated a 13-cost a bit back:

Mr. Hunch (1) + Chatroom (4) + Wild Speaker (3) + Eastwood (2) + Miss Conception (3) -3 = 10.

Most of the Keywords appear twice, and given how Bitterman has said focusing on the specifics of how powers work and what focuses they ave is important, it has a solid spread for a psychic: Hunch provides the investigation, Chatroom and Wild Speaker provides the communication support, Eastwood provides the attack vector, and Miss Conception provides deception.
 
Id prefer to just use WUlongs power for a Great Psychic synergy and get more DNA for the build.

I know we want psychic, but we kinda need other things too. Like Teleporation is still massively useful for us which is my stance on giving it to john hasnt changed.

Just on wether we have Wulong figure out the Strenght + Clairvoyance synergy to give it to him along with Teleportation.

Being hasty on getting our psychic out isnt actually a good idea considering how vital it is we want them to be strong and have Psychic powers that can fight against the Philosophers.

Ah yeah, glad to see some REAL HEROES back in town! Not the creepy one and her cronies! You ever noticed the first two were both little girls? Probably brainwashed since birth in some lair, just look how the one talked when she crashed in tonight... cant wait for CRUSADE to roll out! IT'S CRUSADIN TIME!

Okay, so, I checked our things.

Our three first-need set of time-limited missions, (Demon Flamez, Yara, Noelle) are going to be at 2 this turn.

Our New Dawn locked missions are going to be at 3 this turn. Abarimon can wait, Shroud and Third Person are our selected ones.

With the boost, Shroud and Third Person are both 2 AP. Yara is also 2.

Noelle and Demon Flamez are 1, but we're going to intentionally wait on Demon Flamez to power Henry up first.

Which means, if we want to do that, we have to do Break Glass this turn, hero him up, then do it next.
 
ngl I'm strongly considering delaying Hero Worship so that Lady Leizi can use her Personal Action to investigate Social Butterfly in the same turn, thereby potentially giving us bonus for whatever mission that may come from there

Could this be telekinesis? If so then maybe something like mental manipulation would complete the combo. Actually what was the voter query he was responding to in the first place? I hope he didn't just run with the vague "a good power for John".

As you move toward your assigned block of seats, you find a tall, blonde woman in a red dress and opera gloves sitting in your row.
[...]
The woman says it's alright but goes for the handshake again anyway. Yara acts more frightened and you see Belle Sabreuse's hand drifting to her waist again. You intervene—the whole situation is now deeply concerning—but the woman scowls and disappears.

I swear to god if this was Socialite Butterfly brazenly running in to acquire more clones...

I'm sorry, Zixuan.

You're better off without me.

Damnit Moon River. First Opale and now her. What is with Justice Unlimited and these "don't go looking for me" types?

We'll want to make sure that we can get 1 Ambrosia dose from Puella Magi alone and not have to wait on the full quest chain. Otherwise if we aren't doing Break Glass next turn then we'll have a ton of candidates and absolutely no Ambrosia to make more heroes.

With the conclusion of this first arc, there's quite an explosion of intrigue going on. If it were an anime, this is what I would imagine for the season finale credits:

Hmm, does Elysium want to recruit Mona?

@Bitterman what was the plan if Wolong just blatantly lied and said it was a fake? He could just make something up that they couldn't verify in time, and that would have blunted their momentum severely. Might have been a bit too political for Wolong though.

the thing is, not only is Yara a bucket of potential, and her bodyguard a nice addition as well, probably a solid melee fighter specialist so Rhys can work fully on spywork, we also get Osayin resources-which could be a vector into some investigation on Crusade, Powers, Osayin, and AGL and how they all mix.

Even if she's only 18, living in such a rich place, she probably has a decent head for finances. A way to see how the money's flowing could give us a few answers here and there.
 
Yeh I forgot oyt about the cache.

Hmm do shroud and investigate socialite for a buff when saving yara?

Saving Yara early does mean quicker P13 which would help in making sure we have an advatage agaisnt crusade.

Going for Socialite Butterfly at this moment seems premature, but we'll see what information the turn proper gives us.

Also if we are working on Marvel Psychic rules, we should just give John the best psychic powerset we can come up with and worry about Potency 13 stuff later. It's not like we expend the DNA when we make a Serum, after all.
 
Lantern is more spy by the looks of it so if plugged to philosophers probably Hand.

We know he can give some sort of blessing atleast.

Also Strenght +Clairvoyance + ?

Being telekinesis sorta makes sense so its either mental manipulation or energy manipulation.
I think energy is more likely since Mental would mean the need a mind to manipulate.
 
I throw out tons of theories in the hopes that some of them hit, I'm not super attached to that one.

We could, in theory, boost Henry to 6 this turn. We have multiple global actions. A Spoonful, Break Glass, then John's dosage of Ambrosia.
 
I'll wait till the actual turn 3 post comes up before I start asserting my takes on missions, but I'll just say that Break Glass and Meet the Rookies are now a shoe-in for me. Hero Worship may or may not get delayed in order to 1) make space for other missions and 2) prepare it for a Lady Leizi personal action

Cenotaph too we need candidates and that should hopefully help steam the rep hit.
