probably it is an espionage roll and if hivers there he might be able to take care of it too.

He could survive, sure. But could he lift a building off of the deep ocean floor? I'm not so sure of that. Maybe he can carry it close-ish to shore just by walking on the ocean floor? But again, Black Swan's flight would make it so much easier.

I know one way we could get a comm for Rei in your quest for free: Have her be an active hero using Exceed Beyond, and have Bitterman pay it for us.I'd commission you or buy something since you're such a great artist, but, uh…
I guess it would depend on whether our Team has explosives, or if
Means that he can punch through and/or surround the building and then get enough liftgas to lift it back up?
Edit:
This would also work, depending on the amount of thrust he can generate through ejection of matter.

I do not want to deal with whatever political clusterfuck that is the response of other hero agencies and the general public to this merge. Those bonus surely come with a drawback that is going to bite us in the ass later.

Also, can we agree to make Woolong swear secrecy about prometheus so he cannot tell anything about it to the rest of his team? All it takes is one run in with a mind reader and we are fuuuucked.
bro merging is an option for later we can just not do that if we dont want it. Them being subordinate to us isnt something needed to be told to public only that JU and ND are back in alliance.
Also the benefits are too good ignore considering how many fires we need to put out before our failure to help stockpile bites us in the ass. 3rd Global action alone means we can buff John to 6T while still being able to do actions thats probably for finding and training candidates for exceed beyond. Then thers just the fact wulong helping us with synergies means we can ensure our Heroes gets power suited for their stats or actually really powerful.
Black Swan is only in T5 metahumans due to the synergy we luck out on. As well as Handyman reaching Espionage 9 and us being able to pull of body double plays and more due to his shapeshifting.
Its one thing if the option isnt open or the price we have too pay is too much. But having ND as subordinate is way too good for stabilizing the city.
Also only one other Hero agency is worht a damn. Thats powers who were already in confict with due SM fucking around. And considering the trap 4 seasons set probably kneeled to powers already. So alliance and maybe future merge are necessary if we want to confidently keep that fucker away.

I mean, I wasn't gonna say anything, but yes, I am very aware that there's probably big drawbacks. Heck, I've actually mentioned in my past analysis that "New Dawn has so much benefits it makes me think it's too good, and there are probably unmentioned drawbacks to this". Now after this update, I no longer think those drawbacks are gonna come from Wolong himself. They probably come from some of the teammates, along with the stuff we have to do in order to earn their trust (i.e. mediating them and Medicant, spending AP to help them, lending them BS). Yet even with those drawbacks I still think those benefits are worth it.

yup hell QM never expected as to get the highest level since we literelly critted like hell here. Like If Wolong wasnt wiling to tell us about arc or how much novalight fucked them over.
Options like healing arc through medicant and how Wulong needs hope which Project Prometheus gives wouldnt be in the cards.

I also wanna mention, you say you do not want those drawbacks that comes with those benefits; those drawbacks are already written in the update. It's these:
We get to choose which drawback we want from them. Heck I daresay your plan just picked the biggest one: informing Wolong of Project Prometheus. You'll note that it lacks description despite it being 15 points, the biggest of the bunch. Even bigger than the Medicant option, which prevents us from purchasing healing items for two turns, and Apiary option, which removes the Global stat benefits given to us by Apiary. This is easily the biggest drawback you seem to be claiming on, and the very thing you're picking.

Another great issue and woohoo! Still love those rolls! Also maaaannn MW whent for the jugular, ok kind approach plus MW trauma equals one hell of whiplash. Adittionally if im reading this right the 31 points option gives HOW MANY DNA SAMPLES!? Im pretty sure our combo potential was high with the basic dna we started with, it grew exponantially with only 3 more samples plus Exceed Beyond and Apiary, but 10 more? Dear god we need more Ambrosia and candidates Yesterday. The amount of potential unique combimations is probably in ths hundreads now and i cant tell if Bitterman expected this or not, probs to them if they can somehow think of that many samples, I could never think that far ahead.
My god the possibilities....

Thank god for that.
Don't worry, Maddie!
The ambush is next mission.
Just you wait.
Oh hey! That's Nora's roommate! She's pretty damn smart.
being able to maybe call in EO is not a good look for you, man.
Nice. You love to see it.
Wealth, fame, and power.
If we find a secret part of Horizon all to ourselves, we could probably make a One Piece equivalent to inspire the sequel quest.
But that's for later.
He had me in the first half, ngl.
Hat to hat communication.
Oh man. That's gotta hurt to look at in the afternoon.
And now a possible base for us. Maybe.
Yeah, now we need to do Break Glass for closure on that.
Two times? Is this because of Wolong?
Brain blast!
Basically, Wolong's on that hustle. Respect.
…I don't know what "hechang robes" or what a "guanjin hat" is. Send ref pics pls.
I would have liked green tea, personally.
nice characterization and interaction on both sides.
He's probably assuming that the team in front of him is the designated Behemoth kill squad. Which, not totally wrong…
MADDIE.
WHAT.
Maddie used Guilt Trip!
It's super effective on Wolong!
It's a critical hit!
It's a one-hit KO!
Yikes.
We have a crit coming up. That's why…
Yep. He's gonna spill.
Oh, ouch.
Also, it's "doubt", not "double".
Yeah, not the most nice thing to say here…
We decided that, almost forever ago, with Maddie.
It will likely be our guiding star for a while.
So that's how the three smaller missions connect to here…
WOLONG!!! WE NEED YOUR SHIT!!!
He's trying so hard rn. My god.
BRAND NEW SETENCE COUNTER: 5.5I don't participate in quests to not become the micro-managing gaslighting middle manager I despise IRL. Allow me to live vicariously through fictional characters, please.
(YOU'RE SO REAL FOR THAT, BTW)
As for Omakes…
Counterstrike is so cool. I've been waiting two weeks for him, and he did not dissapoint.
OH GOD WHY BUGS AHHH— (I have a fear of bugs that just got rekindled ouch.)

Our first canon omake! Have a +1! Keith will return.
They were all there, but only Automne was in the thick of the fighting. Ete's empowers others and Primtemps is long-range. Hiver was on "keep Behemoths from escaping" duty.
Of the original members, Valiant Red was dead, Ali Baba was dead, Dragonsteeth retired, Steadfast joined Global Justice, and Valkyrie was in Wonderland. Cisma yielded control of the organization to Novalight, and after that no one was ever able to topple her. She wasn't a very good leader outside of inspiring/terrifying others. She would have made a better field commander than head honcho.
. . . that's a good one. I'll add it to the list.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Have a +1! I think I have a purpose for this guy in mind in a villainous role. DM me if you're interested.
Nah, they wouldn't have the relationship you do with them. New Dawn would have been too tapped to try to prop up GJ and vice versa. It's probably a good thing you didn't do both because overall it probably would have committed your actions for the next few turns.
Wolong was going to do a LOT more to obscure Arc's fate and you would have had to drag information about Monarch out of him---he would have just told you they existed. There also would have been an option to let Black Swan spare with Palisade to show off---he would have immediately pegged her powers were like Novalight's.
Yep! That's how it will work.
-_-
I have the characters in mind but . . . uh, the next update may not be until Saturday if I have to write them all out hahah.

I sense a nice 1 AP mission in our future. Very cool!
But, um, I had another thing I wanted to say/clear up.
Listen, I'm gonna be completely honest. While there are a lot of people who read both this quest and mine, not everybody does. So I'm going to talk to my readers with this one: It's a bit unfair to prop up Rei as the de facto candidate for EXCEED-BEYOND.
Yes, of course I want Rei to have a cool power. But I also want Shelley and Akemi to have cool emotional manipulation powers, for Fran to be able to set something on fire, and for Himari to get a fucking laser blade from Red Huntress. We do not need to focus on Rei and me getting a free commission. Whoever gets rolled, gets rolled.
If Yara has 9 tolerance, and Rei has 7… Well, Rei can do just fine with Memoria+Hunch+RH after one tolerance boost, and Yara can take the suit.
And besides, if it's anything like with Handyman, we'll likely not even see the candidate's face— just the outer armor. It's incredibly likely that putting different candidates in EXCEED-BEYOND will simply get the same art. Yara would look the same as Ellie who would look the same as Rei.
Or, if you want to hear about it from past me:
(This was before I started actually looking into how much it would cost for commission sheets like BKNK's. In the best case scenario, I'd want a character sheet similar to Lady Leizhi's or Valiant Silver's for all three main characters: Akemi, Rei, and Himari.)
(I don't have $1050. And you know what? I'm fine with that. We don't need to butt in on this quest's votes to get something done in ours. We'll live with my descriptions.)

Wow, first omake ever on the site and I hit it out of the park first try.

Some more information while I wait for my food:
Gentleman James - the ability to fix two objects in space he can see with unbreakable chains he can freely extend or contract. Works on people too.
Miss Naught - can "call out a target". All projections launched at that target move with some degree of homing capability.
Palisade - dark purple forcefield all over her body she can freely move off herself and anywhere she wishes in a 30 foot radius. Can change the shape of the forcefield.
Dreamcatcher - can take one object from the dream he had last night and manifest it reality. He cannot control what he dreams about.
Had you not done New Dawn's mission, Monarch would have launched an attack by linking goldnine-contaminated space in the QZ with the Zenith. A river of goldnine would have poured into the Uni District and part of the R-Train would have followed. The Uni District would have turned into a mini-QZ patrolled by mechs and drones from the R-Train, no one in or out. The people there would have been trapped and the Wonderland villains would be able to do as they pleased.
Two of the five remaining New Dawn members would have died, but Arc would awaken and use the last of her power before dying to repulse the goldmine from the Zenith. The longer you took to see if anyone from New Dawn was still alive, the more of them would have died and the more DNA samples would have been lost.
Of course, you would need the R-Train's permission to get in.

At a glance, Red Huntress + Gentleman James sounds like it would be a fairly potent synergy, while its still very early obviously.
