Weekly Actions:
Alas, this week your minions were attacked by a bright eyed young man, in steampunk-ish clothing.
He seems to understand the secrets of the Arc Rifle, as he wields a contraption on his fist that shoots bolts of electricity. Both of your guards were slain defending your base, and it seems your laboratory was ransacked. He only killed those who stood against him, so your science team is fine. -2 Guards.
Your minions come just shy of a breakthrough in physics. Plans however are coming together and you like what you see from your minions.
You yourself succeed at adding another extortion to your criminal empire. But forces of SHADOW have performed a terrible act. They have butchered every employee of one of the businesses you extorted. Then they stole everything and burnt the building down. This unfortunately removes one of your extortions.. But according to the news, SHADOW is being hunted by the forces of Justice now.
Attempts to capture a reporter are met with failure. But your minions assure you they came very close to succeeding.
Plotting seems to have delivered some interesting intel this week. It would appear that very close to you, the Forces of Justice are setting up..something. There is a great deal of material and manpower being moved into the location your minions discovered. Perhaps this should be dealt with?

Your guards report nothing this week.
The Oracle has a few leads, but will need time to acquire you the mission you request. (-$2,000)

Your minions skulk into the area, a modest suburb. The security forces that patrol the area are easily avoided. When they reach the house, they manage to trigger not one, not two, but three separate alarm systems. Acting quickly before they are swarmed by police and private security your minions manage to secure only a few easily fenced goods.
In the shootout during the escape, one regular valiantly sacrifices himself to buy your other minions time to escape. The rest of the escape is easy thanks to the Perpetual Innocence Pheromones. The news is full of speculation about your activities, and the police are out in force looking for your minions.-1 Reg, +$5,000, +17 Not.

If I missed anything do let me know, im sure i did.
My apologies for this, I was rather busy and away from computers for most of the time I planned to work on this. I will say this: Being on set is ridiculous amounts of fun, and im on TV now. So theres that.
(Disclaimer: Terenos is only background, usually not very visible, and probably wont tell you what show hes on.)
