I don't think Mona's flashbacks are time-travel-adjacent in a "affecting the past, altering the future", sort of way. She's not going to Marty McFly fade out of existence by saying something that alters Nora's decisions that results in her survival which means Mona never gets injected with Goldnine.
It's a closed loop. Nora beat the Catch-22 with Mona's help which let Nora live long enough to finish enough of Project Prometheus for Dr. Ibis to be able to give her powers.

The Catch-22 fucking around with time during the fight didn't (or did) help.
 
"Wait," Nora says, "I recognize you. You're Mona, right? You're one of our interns in the Worker's Mitt? You make a really good chili?"

"The best chili!" you say proudly, "And yeah, that's me! I guess I'm dreaming or something? Crazy."

Nora shakes her head. "You're not dreaming. This is really happening. I think . . . you must have an extreme sensitivity to psychic fields. You subconsciously picked up on the burst from the EXCEED armor activating and got dragged her."

She considers you with a frown.

"Are you a metahuman?"

"Um, as of a month ago?" you say, trying to think.

"Huh. Remind me of this if you can when you wake up. We should train you. It's time for Justice Unlimited to expand anyway."

"Uhhh, yeah!" you say, freaking out a little, "You have noooo idea . . ."

Well, that's proof that the psychic, lets say realm? realm is as good a term as any, is atemporal. Good if not necessarily useful just now to know
 
Thinking on the non-time-limited parts of the plan, I do think that with the Mitt secure, Old Industrial District is our next stop to secure the Valiant Kabuto base for more AP and actions, secure better income, boost up Henry's tolerance...
 
huh I just realized was this the fight before Justice Unlimited voted to bench Nora?

Also has anyone ever tried to throw scarlet maturity into Outer Space or the sun?

What powers define being 'psychic'? We've seen various -kinesis types who probably weren't. But it also doesn't seem to be just telepathy or empathy, either.
 
Something I think most people glossed over: As far as I could tell, Nora's armor was still in EXCEED mode when it exploded. So the pieces that Global Justice has are likely still the same. If Global Justice can figure out a way to understand or reverse engineer some of its capabilities, they could have POWER NULLIFICATION as a weapon/tool in their arsenal. I'm assuming this might be the Consequences of not helping them, as they will probably not be as willing to work with us after ignoring them.

Prbably after forcing stockpile to overuse his power that like Dr ibis he would heat rebound in 2 years.

Anyway everyones pretty willing to go for ND and GJ now theres just some hesitation since hiver is probably gonna die if we dont foil the seasons trap and recruit him.
 
I have a feeling revenge is as much behind his desire to join as duty.
John has been here from the beginning and would provide excellent continuity for us. However, he is a middle-aged man, and is who he is. He'll be easy to work with, but he'll do things his way.
Looking at future candidates, are we truly interested in giving this guy Ambrosia in the future?

yes his still loyal JU he just has a revenge quest he wants to do and we can help in. Its not like were planning to ignore the Demon Flaimes considering theyre based on OID in fact.


Smoke on the Water (AP 1, ESPIONAGE 4, OPERATIONS 4): The Demon Flamez were a gang of metahumans notable for their lack of concern for collateral damage and their fire-based powers. They were inmates of Wonderland until recently, and word is they've made moves to secure their former territory in the Old Industrial District. Which makes it all the odder that you've received a private communication from one of their members asking for a clandestine meeting. (Unlocks mission Fire in the Sky, Intel of current state of Horizon, Chance of new metahuman DNA, +1 to control of OID)

Im pretty sure taking this mission unlocks the mission to take down the Demon Flamez which would accelerate retaking OID like how maddys mission let us immediately take back control of the workers mitt.

So really give John a Hit/Operations power then Crush the demon flames and take back OID so we can use Dr. Ibis base, should have a lot of benefits for improving ambrosia.

I doubt they decided to get knowledge for the sake of having it alone (especially given the known costs), so do we know what they did with their peerless understanding? Ibis and Valiant used it for Prometheus during their free time, but what about the others (if we know about it)?

Ọsanyìn cured countless diseases, rebuilt the Brazilian economy from scratch, and created the world's largest mega corporation. Steelheart and Anansi you'll have to find out.

Lethal Anodyne makes designer drugs.
 
Ọsanyìn had medicine, Steelhart has robotics, Mammoth Ibis has genetics, Anansi has computers, and Leathal Anodye has being a fucking asshole.

Seems like Osanyin was really, really capable even beyond the power boosting then, shame they are probably not around anymore to help solve our problems?
(Designer Drugs... no way they come cheap or they wouldn't be called an asshole, but can we at least trust that they don't have the technobabble equivalent of backdoors?
That is, if we choose to purchase them down the road can we trust their effects and side-effect profile to be completely and truthfully listed?)

... 07, Valiant Silver. 07.

Holy shit, that was cool, and went a long way to explaining why an Algernon-Type was JU's heavy hitter. That is a heavy supply of utter bullshit going on right there. It... also explains why she couldn't use EXCEED very often, if she had to have her power turned on constantly to use it. I imagine if she was our Playable Character, her condition would be at the point where using EXCEED would kill her, given she describes it as shaving years off her life during the Catch-22 battle. Probably how @Bitterman would balance her supreme badassery because having a top four on call would be too useful, smh.
 
EXCEED-BEYOND can't be used by a metahuman. Does that mean we should keep someone normal around who can use it? Like, intentionally not give a recruit powers for that purpose?
 
Which of the three personal missions (Rakeem's stash, Uiara's sister, Nora's M-Train) do you think we should do first?

I think Rakeem's is probably an easy first stop, replenishes our G9 stock, gets Leizi personal closure on her on-again-off-again boyfriend (situationship?), and some stuff Ibis can no doubt use. Nora we need to retake the Apiary first.
 
If Uiara's sister's mission, Hero Worship, is on time limit like i suspect it does, then I'd like it if we picked it first depending on how much we have left. Otherwise, I'm fine with picking Break In Case of Emergency
 
Rovos’ Candidate
you know might as well throw in a suggestion in the ring

Candidate B
Name: Khaela Ghudura
Age: 32
Stats: 3 Hit, 2 Espionage, 1 Reputation, 1 Operations
Tolerence: 7
Chauser's notes: Not the oldest of our candidates but definately on the older side of the spectrum. Miss Ghudura works a dayjob as a Bouncer for one of the many clubs around the city by the name of the Djinn and Tonic. She has no outstanding police records. She however also lacks any Academic achievements, by her own admission she dropped out of high school at age 16. The reason for this was rather simple, her older brother and at the time recently married wife died in a villain attack while out in the city, this left Khaela to care for her Recently born niece Mensha. All in all she is a woman in great physical fitness due to the demands of her job even and a high tolerence to Ambrosia.
Lady Leizie Notes: I am aware of her for a simple reason, the Djinn and Tonic is one of the major mob fronts of the city, Perfectly legal itself of course. It isn't surprising that a 16 year old in need of a job to support an infant would fall into this type of place. Khaela herself is not a major member of the underworld for all that she has spend much of her time on it's surface. Her official job is that of a bouncer, it's also how she spends most of her time, but on occasion she fills the role of bodyguard during particulairly... Delicate buisiness meetings. She is someone we would need to keep an eye on for some time after joining, to be sure if nothing else. I should also look into who was behind the attack that killed her brother, just in case.

don't know if i made the tone of the notes right but i think it works. Khaela was my most recent cities of mist character and i am currently also using her in another thing. but i think her backstory broadly works in this scenario

(also just to note, her Mythos in cities of mist was Scylla, so dog headed tentacles from her waist, wonder if that's anything we could do, maybe by using maddie's sample somehow)

We should also consider if we can do Hero Worship and Train Kept Rolling rn. Bitterman did say that he'd be upping the stat requirements, and Hero Worship seems like a very Operatjons focused mission. We might have to do Break In Case of Emergency first just by virtue of not being able to do those missions.
