I had good luck on magic last time. Lets see if that holds. Also I want to do something related to big booms.

Well... not much luck on magic, but I think we got our Breach Buster.

so, it looks like everything went ok, or does that 1 on the hammerspace research d10 mean they ardently the city?
 
Well I missed the vote, but I'd have voted for what happens, so that means everyone wins!

Except the Kaiju. But who cares about their feelings!
 
Actually now that I think about it, trying to establish a research branch before we actually figure out what we're trying to research may have upped the difficulty of that role further.

Feels like a bit of a Catch-22 given that we're trying to establish the branch in order to help us figure out what we're trying to research.

Well all the other science branches we've had were built to focus on a pre-existing branch of science. Idk if trying to make one to discover a new branch of science would be effective.
 
Well, Dr. Sturm (the scientist in charge of magic research) did leave a note asking for more time and a better lab last downtime. I'd say a Wizard's Academy would be just the thing he asked for, but I don't think he expected to get quite as many robes and wizard hats as he found there. And far too few actually scientific instruments, if that roll is anything to go by.

This was basically what I was thinking of going into the downtime actions this week, specifically the mention of getting better labs for more results. It's why I not only put in an action to research a 'Wizard's Academy' (which would be dedicated 'better lab space', plus potentially allow us to keep up what is effectively a group pet project without drawing from our other actions each week), but also also part of the reason that I shot for upgrading our research by two levels; though way I see it, the kind of next-next gen bleeding-edge theoretical science we're devling into at this point probably means we were due for another round of Science(!) upgrades anyway.
