I wonder if there is a possibility of staunching the bleeding in some of these orgs without fully committing to their alliance missions? This would help a bit to free up AP constraints until the team can be expanded.
Like for The Dragon of the New Dawn (AP 2), if New Dawn is endangered by Wonderland escapees, then could taking Seid ihr das Essen? Nein, wir sind der Jäger (AP 1) to contain those threats forestall the collapse? Though that contradicts the theme of unavoidable major consequences, and we may end up with a broken window anyway, just with a few less pieces to pick up afterwards.
Thats actually a good point and worth asking
Seid ihr das Essen? Nein, wir sind der Jäger (AP 1, HIT 5, ESPIONAGE 4): Wonderland was home to some of the worst, most dangerous metahumans in Horizon. And some less-monstrous metahumans who were more politically expedient to make disappear. Its extralegal nature always offended Justice Unlimited, but, now that it's fallen, some monsters are on the streets. Find them and stop them.
Lady Leizi: See my notes concerning New Dawn. The situation in the Uni District is . . . deeply concerning.

The Dragon of the New Dawn (AP 2, ESPIONAGE 4, REPUTATION 5, OPERATIONS 3): New Dawn was the original, and largest, hero team in Horizon, and the bitter rivals of Justice Unlimited. Like you, they suffered heavy losses stopping the Leviathan from awakening. Now, they're under new management, by Wolong, a.k.a Gabriel Qwan, a metahuman who is a potent force multiplier but individually weak. He now proposes an alliance to keep the city from burning. You could at least hear him out.
Lady Leizi: Wolong has done very, very well hiding how desperate the situation is for New Dawn. No doubt he's worked himself to the bone. Initial estimates put their manpower at between 10-15 metahumans. This is a clever bit of misdirection—he's been mixing up team compositions and listing the names of dead metahumans on reports. New Dawn has five active metahumans including himself. Baba Yaga is fully retired, and Arc hasn't been seen in public since the Movement. On top of that, it seems like nearly every prisoner from Wonderland has converged on their territory—I've gotten reports of Shroud, Third Person, and Abarimon in the Uni District alone. New Dawn is about to collapse, and, given his tone, I think Wolong believes we are in a similar situation and is hoping to recruit us. We may have unexpected leverage.

Both of this unlocks the same type of mission. So I think a possibility is that Seid could help New Dawn out and maybe extend the timer for New Dawn?
Id be a gamble though.
At the very least if we do one of the missions next turn we might stop dawn from falling and the Universty getting ran by villains.
