Sure would be nice if we had someone who could make gadgets for us, like Nora did.

Well, I was talking about giving someone a crafting focused powerset, not super dementia.

We don't necessarily have to get Algernons....... There are some gadgets or vehicles that might prove useful which we could commission from engineers or corporations that can be made with our current tech... Stuff like tasers Grappling hooks or Armored Vehicles....
Course that runs into who is trustworthy enough.

I mean, it doesn't cost cash. I'm all in favor of spending a few Global Actions raiding Nora's junk pile next turn.
Is it this bad? It doesnt seem to be for Dr. Ibis.
Or is that no matter what, Nora's spectre looms a little too large?
I do think unless we recruit Yara in Hero worship to slow down on new heroes and focus on research, gear, pr and spider web next turn.
Dr. Ibis is more carful than NOra since hes not forced to burn up through exceed. But unlike Vulcan who barely used his power he still uses it more actively.
So sooner or later Rebound is gonna hit. Generally he uses his power for big breakthrough like the First Ambrosia then relies on his own intelligence to replicate his results it looks like.

It's more we the players know there's possibility a way to lessen the worst effects we just gotta find it

Ibis's existant Prometheus Research would cost us money, unless Sarah also made things free, which I doubt she did. Cheaper, perhaps, but not free.
Right now, our free actions in terms of Global are:
-Raid Nora's junk pile/Google Drive
-Make Leizi a weapon
-Get Maddie a new animal
-Make some extra shield generators
I'm in favor of the first two, and the last one is a lower priority owing to both our current solid pile and Dr. Silver's powers.
Edit: This naturally excludes Spider's Web getting moved, whatever Sarah and Chihiro unlock, etc.

We still have 1k next turn and personal actions can get us some money.
Also Rounds and Pest Control have guaranteed income so if we take one of them we can get enough to pay for 1 research action.
At the very least i dont think we need to worry about failing a partrol with 2 P13s

Currently banging my head on writing something
I think I may support going after the serial killer next turn since sponsorship money also exist there. Also since we have +6 bonus now against Crusade's REP debuff (I think), we can counteract them to an extent.

Fair enough, I'm just saying I'm in favor of stuff that's free over stuff that's cheap, all other things being equal. I'd like to cut down on costs.

Don't we basically have train locked in next
getting fast pass out early is atleast a necessity if we want to have strong heroes either as T10 or boost to low tolerance heroes.
Also QM did note fast pass was cheaper than sugar.

Honestly, with Train locked in I'm in favor of the Hunting In QZ zone option just so that Bitterman can write less updates owing to the synergy of us being there.
Yeh Demon flames too since last turn for that mission.
But we have 8 Ap so
Train 2
DF 1
Making the Rounds 1
4 Free
Makes sense and it does give more money also might boost chance of meeting the named behemoth who if we kill is more moeny.
Since encounter with Mistletoe isnt a sure thing unlike with FVM.
Ageed with Reality Check since depending on Yara it might be locked
Also completing it should give us immediate rewards that includes the sponsorship so I actually prefer it to Fellowship.
Though I can see doing fellowship to hopefully get Homer early, the alliance with with Trinity and a blow to monarch.

A taser-like device that let's our MC propell a metal wire at a target would be handy.
No need for a battery means there's more room for stronger propusion device.

I already suggested a while back a metal bo staff that would leverage Leizi's martial arts training while also letting her use her powers would be cool.

@Bitterman Got inspired by the latest update and how they showed off the Ambrosia candidates, which made me want to write about my own despite me not being a writer. I'd like to thank @LucidProp and @Kermie for feedback they gave me in writing this.
Kasumi Sato Tsubame Kikuchi
Age:23 19
Stats: HIT 1, ESP 5, REP 3, OP 5
Tolerance: 4-5
Chaucer's Notes:
Ms. Sato was one of the few lucky survivors who managed to escape her former home of New Industrial District in the midst of Monarch's takeover. Along with her 2 younger siblings, they had since been moving around Horizon till they took refuge in the Apiary. I'm surprised they managed to get that far with a preteen, a 5 year old boy, and Ms. Sato herself being wheelchair-bound. Since then, she's been what she can to help the community with logistics and tech safety in order to make Apiary a safer place for her siblings.
Before the Movement, she was apparently a scholarship student in one of Horizon's prestigious elevator school. While a notable expert in programming, she has also tapped into many field related to tech. I imagine she might have a field day with Dr. Ibis or John Henry on that matter. Aside from that, she has requested to speak and shake hands with you, Lady Leizi. Seems to be a fan of yours.
Lady Leizi's Notes:
I'm familiar with this little troublemaker. Her real name is Tsubame Kikuchi, an underground hacker and info broker who goes by the handle "Kuro". She faked a lot of her papers including her real name and age, as well as her siblings'. Aside from those, everything else written in your notes are real, Chaucer. A paranoid one she is, though this might also just be her way of showing off to me, the brat. It also explains the increased number of bugs and listening devices aside from my own planted all over the Apiary over the past month, all of which I've removed. She has the makings of a spymaster, one I could assist in her development.
I should warn however that she has a more pragmatic disposition compared to other heroic candidates, or say, our Black Swan. Moreover, her mischief aside, we should especially keep an eye on her in missions related to Monarch. Her parents died in the midst of that chaos and she's been nursing a grudge ever since. While she's grounded for now by her two remaining family, we should still tread carefully on that topic.
EternalObserver's Notes:
Well, here's my first one, a ESP/OP spec character. I decided to make her into a morally gray and self-serving character compared to the few other candidates I've read so far, which could provide an interesting dynamic to the team. Also wheelchair-bound and a weak stature, which made me consider giving her HIT -1, but didn't since I already know that isn't a thing in the system. There were several things I've had to remove on her section. I started feeling like it was too long, and had to revise it several times. So there may be a few details unmentioned here and there. Chaucer's section might've given me the hardest time since I don't know how much to reveal. There's also a few things unmentioned in LL's section like her acquaintanceship with Moon River. I don't know how clear her character is written in both notes since I'm unsure of the arrangements so I'll try to put a few unmentions here: Her number one reason for joining is making Horizon a safer place for her siblings to live in, not just Apiary. As conniving and mischievous the notes make her out to be, her loyalty is already kinda secured by placing her siblings under Apiary's protection, so don't expect her to be the backstabbing sort. As strong as that protection is however, she also cynically believes with the current ongoings that it will not last forever, especially if she just sits there and do nothing. She's aware that something's going on in the politics of Horizon and while she could easily pitch and join in any other organization that could protect her, she's decided after a bit of contemplating to hedge her bets on Project Prometheus and put her trust in Justice Unlimited. Speaking of, while I'll leave the details up to Bitterman, Tsubame does have potential of gleaming stuff about PP pre-recruitment (i.e. Dr. Ibis game show, goldnine transportation, recruitment staff, etc), though she'd not be able to get to the most important one.
Grana De Iglesias (Fake name: Garnet Reverie)
Age: 29
Stats: HIT 3, ESP 1, REP 4, OP 3
Tolerance: 7
Chaucer's Notes:
A referral from Miss Naught and Arc. Moving into Horizon 9 years ago, Ms. Reverie is a nurse who has participated in several disaster relief operations in the aftermath of fights between metahuman heroes, villains, as well as behemoths. Moreover, she is a student practitioner of mixed martial arts, having participated in several different classes for self-defense. She is an admirer of Uiara and possesses a strong sense of justice, having a penchant of attempting to stop crimes happening in front of her, whether they are mundane or metahuman, and a tendency of putting others before herself. This has earned her a bit of a reputation in her area. All traits integral to becoming a hero, though I'd recommend keeping an eye on her for recklessness. Other than that, while it may not be my place to comment, I notice she has more than a few scars on her; I suspect they are not just from her reckless ventures.
Lady Leizi's Notes:
Took a bit of time tracing her history beyond her 9 years in Horizon. I noticed her official history beyond that are forged, handiwork of a certain little birdie I may be familiar with. It seems she has a tragic history she does not wish to speak about. She was the daughter of a doomsday cultist who heavily subjected her and the rest of her family in physical abuse every other day. That is until one day he attempted a suicide pact ritual using his whole family, starting with his pregnant wife. Garnet, or should I say Grana, her real name, came out as the only survivor of the incident. Since then, she has been suffering heavily from survivors guilt, which I suspect is part of why she's quite driven when it comes to helping others. She also lives in fear of her father's associates coming to get her, which explains her flight to Horizon. As someone with a history of a terrible father, I sympathize with her and hope we could assist her in finding peace.
EternalObserver's Notes:
A HIT/REP spec character this time. She was originally Tolerance 6, but when I saw Cain's, I got a bit kerfuffled and thought maybe it was okay to bump her up a tier. Compared to the last candidate, this one is a lot more straightforward, where the only thing I worry about while writing this is whether I worded something good or not. Also for the identity of the "little birdie", it's Tsubame. She was already web-surfing and hacking at 10 years of age, yes. I considered mentioning her directly, but considering the randomness of the selection, I think it's best to have her just be an oblique cheeky reference.
I have another one still cooking in the oven. I think I want to wait till I know more about Horizon's current situation and poltics as a whole, before presenting her. Another potential one that could help would either be Apiary or Interlocutor's Fill In Issue

I had this thought I've been chewing on and off about trying to compile a big post going through every power tag and trying to think "What stat or stats does this boost?" but I keep abandoning it under the thought of "it's probably never concrete, and varies depending on how it's manifested", aside from really obvious ones like Invisibility being ESP, Strength being HIT, etc.
