Weekly Actions: Research in chemistry makes reasonable strides. Research in physics fails at every turn. Still at least its progress!
The mission was a smashing success! The time you waited allowed for the feeble protectors to relax their guard. Little did they know that you are a patient hunter indeed. Your minions sedated much of the guard force, slowly inexorably working their way deeper and deeper into the facility. By the time your minions had reached what they presumed was the main lab and data hub there was no one left awake or alive to stop you.
Except for this rather greasy looking teenager wearing what seems to be steampunk costuming. Your minions do not take him seriously and this proves to nearly be their undoing. Showcasing some excellent martial aptitude and what seems to be a gauntlet that fires arcs of electricity the teenage crusader manages to nearly send your minions packing. The sidearms your minions carry are nearly useless against him as his suit appears to be well armored. Knuckles engaged the teen in fisticuffs long enough for your minions to grab some of the data and escape!
A lucky shot from the Goo Cannon during the escape disables your pursuer neatly. But alas your minions were unable to return to deliver a coup de grace upon this feeble whelp who DARES stand against you, because they forgot to disable the security system and there was a strong police presence on the way.
He will however think twice before fighting you openly again. And the shadows are your dominion, Gathord.
+Field, Robotics!
+3.8 Research, Robotics.
+16 Notority.
Enemy Observed: The Clockwork Sentinel.

Action World News: TONIGHT!
Good evening. I'm Drake Nightly.
Panic grips the world today as several high profile acts of evil have been reported on by a variety of news sources. Insisting on being directly in our faces, the forces of the evil organization codenamed VENOM have been busy the past few weeks. They have been responsible for the heist of a rare and valuable plant used in chemical and botanical experiments, and just recently attempted to steal valuable research data in the field of robotics. They were thwarted in their efforts by the aptly named Clockwork Sentinel. In this reporters humble opinion this shows great strength of character, and a return to the ideals put forth by the mighty and selfless heroes who last defended us from the rigorous terror of the past.
In a move certain police experts are claiming stems from their history as far reaching gang of ill repute, the Crimson Fists are endeavoring to set up a strong and unbreakable series of extortions to fund their acts of evil. Police Consultant June Berry is concerned that after they were nearly eradicated and imprisoned, the Crimson Fists appear to have come back even stronger. The police are urging the government to establish a well funded agency with which they will have the tools to defuse these building blocks of criminal power.
Experts state that once famed
Layabout Playboy Reginald Gathord (recently escaped from maximum security psychological monitoring at an undisclosed facility) is believed to be behind the forces of VENOM. While infamous gangland leader 'Cleaver' (real name unknown), leads the Crimson Fists. We urge our viewers to call this special hotline if either of these individuals or their minions are sighted, as they are considered a dangerous and serious threat to the safety and well being of the public. Thank you.
Up next, this detective wont talk but you will! Mime and Punishment..*Click*
