Villainous Ideals

Btw could we use our digger bot to make a big hole Under a building, make the building fall down and steal what we want Inside? We could also use it to mess with subway.
 
Changing my vote to Silver Sun's plan with Mastigo's additions.

[X] Secret base Warehouse to a medium base with all necessary facilties (10 brusiers, 30 dumbots, Brilliance will oversee the building of our new main base).
-- [X] After completion begin work on the Director AI.
-- [X] All brusierbots not set to to base building are to salvage the materials we need for the base building. Buy what we can't provide through salvage.
-- [X] Have the digbot on hand in case any digging is needed
[X] Manufacture Restraining Guns for our bruiserbots, get help from the dumbbots to make things go faster. Buy what we need but don't have.
[X] Set up a blog for ourselves. on it we shall provide humorous riffing of the police and Heroes responses to our plots, give political commentary, post videos of Dumbot antics (that don't comprise security), mock pubic figures and post monologs about our successful plots.
[X] Hire an artist to create a design to place on our forces and paint on walls of our bases using the Raven and Torch motif.
[X] To keep Minsuh from getting too bored have her plant smoke bombs in the city's storm drains and all set to go off at the same time. have our usual symbol of a raven and a touch marking the case of the smoke bombs.

This week's Evil Plan:

[X] Minsuh: Use your illusions to keep the mole rat problem going as long as possible, hindering the ability of animal control to deal with the situation.
-- [X] When possible, try herding the Rodents Of Unusual Size towards high profile locations like city hall, the county tax collector's office, police stations, the bank, grocery stores, malls, gas stations and utility buildings.
-- [X] Furthermore, have fun using your illusions to convince the protesters (and especially the news crews and cameras) that city animal control workers are employing excessive cruelty in their handling of these sweet docile animals.
-- [X] If confronted by a hero, you are Peace Birchwood, nature-empowered tree-hugging hippy hero.
[X] Brilliance: you and the birdbots will be providing Minsuh with overwatch to help her keep track of the situation. Your ECM will also help create confusion and chaos.

Lets stay away from doing anything with the moles directly. It's better to minimaze to conection between us and the moles. Also the illusions don't work on cameras.

I'm talking recordings and when have our bots been hit with illusions?
Back when Revan was being hunted by Minsuh, she tricked a bruiser into thinking she was Revan, confusing the fuck out it because it saw us two seconds later.

Edit:
The pet store is loud, and almost immediately as you enter, you hear a lot of barking and other related animal noises. The attendant looks strangely at you as you buy three dogs, but takes your money all the same. You leave the building, and almost immediately the dogs bark loudly. (-$3,000)

The brusierbot jerks slightly and seems to look around at the environment. You frown and it mimes confusion. You don't have speakers normally on bruiserbots. It's a structural weak-point, and these are made to be durable. (Brilliance can get away with it due to her being more focused on avoidance.)

When you get back Brilliance tilts her head as she speaks with the bot. "Apparently after you entered, you immediately exited according to the bot. He was going to leave and follow you to a different store, but then you really came out."
 
Still a bad plan for a few reasons
1. We have a reputation for being clever and using feints.
2. They know we have access to a "device" that can create illusions
3. We've done animal based stunts before which means that they are going to suspect us right off the bat.

Didn't the GM tell us not to do these giant lists anymore?
I think it was mainly when it comes to schemes not general actions like building and stuff, i.e dont do a bunch of random chaos actions that dont really have anything to do with one another, try and make them like something that could be a crime spree in a comic book so they are all linked in some way

Time required for base 24 hours.

Time required for powerplant. 13 days.

Time required for Director. 13 days. (A lot of it's programming that you can do at the junkyard)

-$400 for gunpowder. Bruiserbots upgraded with restraining rifles.

The first component was the supercomputer you stole. State of the art, weighing in about one hundred pounds, the components would have been enough to give the lab perhaps the fiftieth most advanced computer in the world. Well, mundane computer. It wasn't meant to break records, but it was meant to analyze and process.

If you were to guess, the lab was bringing it in to attempt to analyze your bot's AI. That's honestly a bit of a laugh. Typical tech from heroes and villains is centuries ahead of standard technology. Likely they would have spent years just trying to crack the language you wrote your AIs in.

The computer is thus far more useful in your hands. You tore off the chassis, added more components, and had it moved to your warehouse area. Now it hummed ominously when running, and had more than a few blinking lights. Each of them indicated a certain bit of information that likely only you could interpret. But using it, you could see the status of all your units in a glance.

Then you started the coding.

This was the bulk of the work. Director was going to be a management AI. His job is to be the 'parent' of your robots. Far different than Brilliance, he's sort of the super AI of the bunch. In time, you will be able to have him direct everything without lifting a finger.

He will contain backups of your AIs. Your blueprints, and your plans. A veritable library that self evolves. Where Brilliance is the peak of androids, this is the peak of AIs.

The supercomputer just barely manages to handle him, even with your modifications. He does a lot of processing even with the lack of a body.

He comes online with a quiet beep.

And the laptop you are using simply states one line.

"Good Morning Creator."

You smile, and type back. "Happy Birthday Director. Status?"

"All systems operational. Backups online for unit Brilliance, and Bot networks. Awaiting commands."

"System scan."

"Scanning..." There is a pause, and a video feed comes up. "One anomaly. Three bruiserbots at location. Orders?"

The city is almost holding it's breath now. The villain Revan hadn't been heard from for almost a month now. He's not been arrested, and there hasn't been any mad ranting lately. In fact, even the mutant mole issue has died down some. Well enough that it's a nuisance instead of an emergency.

None of that mattered to the two PIs really aside from a side note. They had a job to do. Finding where the moles had come from. Most of the experts agree that they had recently been driven out of another, nearby area. So they had been hired to find out where.

To be frank it was a shit assignment. Basically explore around an area, come back to report, and do it again. Joe honestly found it dull, but otherwise standard for his job. At least he wasn't in a car.

"Honey, got anything on your end?" He calls out as he flashes the flashlight around the caves.

"I told you, call me Val, Hun, or even hey you!" The woman's voice calls back as she tramps into the room and glares at the man. "I've got enough traumatizing memories about my name already."

"But Honey..." The man trails off and laughs as she swipes at him. "You could always get a name change you know?"

Honey sighs and shakes her head. "Not while my ditz of a mom still draws breath. And no, I couldn't find anything over here."

"Well, aside from the nest for the moles. I can't see anything that would cause them to run away." The man sighs and moves his flashlight around the area again. "Likely going to have to call in the scientists to have them deal with it now."

"There are worse ways of making a buck." The woman shrugs and starts to walk out of the cave system. then she frowns and shines the light down. "Hey Bill, how large are your shoes?"

"Size twelve." The man walks over to her. "Why?"

"Because there are a lot of really big footprints around here." Honey replies back and kneels down. "These look familiar too."

damn it, i had plans for that base.
[x] ambush the PIs with restraining guns
-[x] start striping the Cave base of everything useful. the digbot is to then eat everything we can't move for processing into ingots we can use.
--[x] let the PIs go after the base is striped clean
Nope, just ambush them, deal with them in a permanent manner, and dispose of the bodies.

Nobody'll ever know...
 
Well sounds like fox lady gets some new vic... friends then.

Well shit.

At least we don't have to haul their bodies far to, ahem, dispose of them.
cold-blooded murder isn't our thing. and people will likely come looking for them.
 
There's the risk of someone remembering their assignment understanding that they were compromised and if someone saw the way they were going or they had a specific order that someone else was privy to then some might decide to follow the leads. I believe the curse should work well here though since people will forget about them. We don't have to leave them an out since they aren't heroes or villains either.
