[Maxinum McDreich]

(I am a moron. No way else to say it. I really am. So sorry for the wait.)

Enigma organised the men. It seemed a risky mission had come up. If it was risky, then PH34R would send more to ensure that they can beat any trap by the enemy. By seeming to be impossible to stop, it can create greater fear!
But it was a major gamble.

Orders:
1 more laser rifle is made (convert funds as necessary)
All thugs and guards go on the plotted mission with laser rifles. Jerald goes aswell with his laser rifle.

Research:
4 Scientists: Offensive Psycology.
3 Scientists: Offensive Physics.
2 Scientists: Offensive Chemistry.

Sorry, sorry.  What are the rules on moving bases?




A nice haul.  The attention was bad, but that should at least slow them down in the short term...


Orders:
Leader + 4 Thugs Extort.
3 Thugs attempt to capture a Bruiser and steal his knowledge.
2 Regs attempt to capture a Reporter and steal his knowledge.... again.

Changing Bases
Changing bases, is an important thing when your location is known, and you want to avoid sabotage or retribution. You can also move your Base to gain small bonuses that might be applicable based on where you're moving to.
This could get a bit murky, but what the hell. The base movement time is 15 M/W of labor, and any Minion type can add their labor value (Base 1, modified by the Enhance Base job)here. This is to move directly to another Base with no bonuses. Better bonuses to the base, more time.

So you could message me, describe what you're looking for, bonus wise. I'll tell you what you need.

Turn will be up ..Proly before the weekend, I'm kinda busy but not overly so. I'll make time to throw it up.

The minions with you this week, were targeted by the forces of justice, in reprisal for your actions of terror. The firefight that ensued was nearly won by your forces, but in the end there were just too many of them. You escaped unharmed, and you are fairly certain they did not manage to track you back to your base. Some of your thugs however, did not make it. -2 Thugs.

Your minions were able to capture a reporter! The new holding cell managed to contain them, and your minions are hard at work divining their secrets. (1 Reg 50% to Reporter)
Alas, the Bruiser targeted by your minions sent your thugs back with bruises.

Nothing to report from your Guards.

Physics research staggers forward. You're not even remotely able to explain the slowdown. One of your minions is found dead in the lab, apparently mere moments from a breakthrough. The rest of your scientists assure you that next week they will have whatever it was worked out. -1 Sci

Pride fills your minions as they regale you with the tale of their successful mission. It was a trap, most certainly. Your minions approached as they normally would, severing alarms and using every access point they could. The forces of Justice were hidden, and the ambush was flawless. However your minions struck terror into their hearts and before long they fled, leaving their dead behind. All told your minions managed to kill a fair few enemy agents in the opening few rounds of combat. They then loaded up the Centrifuge,and some nearby data which was conveniently located near an unmarked white van...

The escape however, was trickier. In the bracing night air, your opposition found their courage and they turned the street into a killing field. They seemed to be armed with laser rifles of their own. You lost a few minions, but The Cutter managed to rally your minions, and escape with the goods.
All told, you lost 1 Thug, and 2 Guards. But gained a free Centrifuge, and some physics data. +20 Not. -1 Thug, -2 Guards, + Centrifuge.

The physics data obtained is more than enough for a breakthrough, when your minions puzzle it out. They are proud to unveil the Energy Shielding Device. -3 R, +1 ESD
Psychology pushes forward to a breakthrough of its own.

Minions trundle in day and night over the course of the week, bringing in deposits of cash. The news reports are full of stories about their larceny. All tallied it comes to $3,400 this week. +8 Not

Physics research delivers you a powerful weapon this week, in the form of the Phase Shift Control Console. Your minions have sauntered into a parallel dimension, and can saunter out ..usually when they want to. The design is by no means perfect, but it is a powerful weapon nonetheless.

Guards report nothing amiss.

Your biology department reports that they are tantalizingly close to a breakthrough.

You took a large risk here, and thankfully it paid off. The odds were stacked against you from the very beginning. Thankfully your choice of gear managed to do wonders for you. The approach was quite simple; Your minions managed to subdue most of the local police by using their HC, then rounded them up and started gathering up what supplies and cash they could. Threatening the people as they went, they managed to fill a modestly sized truck full of cash and resources.

Thats when things went badly. Your minions were engaged by the forces of S.P.H.I.N.X. Things went badly to begin with, but your RIGs managed to keep every one of your minions alive. S.P.H.I.N.X was as poorly armed as you, in terms of actual weaponry. So the exchange was fairly even. During a lull in the battle, your minions ingested their Perpetual Innocence Pheromones and made their escape. S.P.H.I.N.X fell victim to your cunning ploy and was unable to determine who they had been fighting a minute ago. Puzzled by the sudden lack of combatants, S.P.H.I.N.X exited the area, after helping the townsfolk you had bullied/intimidated.

Your minions were easily able to escape with their ill-gotten gains. +$7,000, +20 Resources. +20 Not.

Chemistry shows a fine breakthrough, your minions are proud of what they've accomplished.

Robotics nearly blows up the lab, Physics plods forwards.

The mission is a complete success. Barring of course the few losses. Your minions deployed during broad daylight during a parade so attention was focused elsewhere. They easily subdue the various security forces in place around the exhibition. Before realizing that they must have hit the wrong exhibition. This is no Botany exhibition, that was apparently a few days ago. This is an Aerospace Engineering exhibition. Well, almost as good.

A few scientists get uppity when your minions try to make off with their notes, and models. Your minions respond with your collection of drugs. This really makes the whole heist easier.
Unfortunately calamity strikes when your minions attempt to leave. They get into a pitched battle with law enforcement, and concerned citizens. Of course, you have laser rifles and they not.
A few minions are lost securing the escape, but they were only regulars.

Enigma smiled, one so contorted that his minions gave a small shudder as they reported their success. The mission was resoundingly positive, and certainly gave off the vibe that PH34R could bat aside even ambushes. Still, lack of reports on the news about... ANYONE'S actions was frustrating. If PH34R wasn't on the news, he wanted someone else to be, so he could atleast pinpoint his closest rival. Such as it was, even the Forces of Justice weren't showing up. Is this world really to be served on a platter?

The bruiser once more manages to give your minions the slip.
Plotting turns up only missions that are beneath your notice. You have a reputation to uphold after all.

Your guards report a minor skirmish with the Clockwork Sentinel. No casualties, and he left before they could bring him down. He was making another attempt for the Lab.

Research moves forward speedily. Another new tool for use in your diabolical manueverings. This cannon causes localized disturbances in gravity, resulting in intense damage to structures and people it is a heavy weapon on par with the giant laser. Fortunately your minions also decided to build some shielding into it so the user is not annihilated by it.

People FLEE at the very sight of your minions this week. The panic ray was inadvertently set to a wider field than is recommended. Your stalwart minions are easily able to collect a fine haul this week. Of course, causing widespread panic certainly gets your name in the news. +$3,000, +13 Not.

Your guards chase off a gang of teenagers, and their brightly painted van. They were apparently drawn to the creepy aura of the place. Well. At least they didnt bring a television crew to film their 'investigations'.

Weekly Actions: The raw numbers you have tasked to the search have located a solution to your problem. A military laboratory in Canada would be the ideal re-location for your lair. It would require ousting the current occupants, which could lead to reprisal. Alternatively you could make your home on a small island. Fewer occupants, very defensible. But it might not have the same bonus to research that you are after. It does have an active volcano though, And really, Aren't you the kind of Evil Genius who -deserves- a volcano lair?
(Choice, mission to dislodge/move, Or straight move of 20 M/W)

A few minor scuffles with the local law confirms that yes, your location is well known. +1 Not.

Physics research benefits greatly from the raw numbers you continue to assign. Your minions unveil several low scale devices that make chairs, desks, computer systems, what-have-you, completely disappear from sight. They call it 'Chameleon' Active Camoflauge Skin, and with some minor adjustments, and the power to run it they could make your base absolutely invisible from the outside.

Success has been acquired by your men, under the leadership of Gears. A Bruiser is now languishing in your cells, until such time as one of your Regulars has claimed his secrets. (1 Regular, 50% to Bruiser, +2 Not)

Your minions plot and scheme, they have failed to discover you any access to a new field of science. However they do deliver plans to raid a laboratory which is ahead of you in the fields of Chemistry, or Biology.

Research plows forwards. Soon your base is filled with a barely detectable gas. Your minions seem more alert and capable.

Cleaver was concerned.  This Clockwork Sentinel was becoming trouble, and something would have to be done about him.  There were short-term measures to be taken, but something more significant would have to be done soon.  Here, at least, there were options...



Orders:
Leader + 4 Thugs Steal Resources.  Arc rifles for everyone!
3 Thugs attempt to capture a Bruiser and steal his knowledge... again.
1 Reporter trains 1 Regular
2 Guards Guard (with Giant Laser and Arc Rifles)
1 Tech mayhems with Giant Laser.

Research:
Dr. Cal + 6 Sci research Physics Offensive

Other:
Build Gravity Cannon  (Buy resources if needed)
Install two Lockdown Devices in series in front of Lab entrance.  Install Knockout Gas trap in between.  (Cash for all three.)  Any intruders that attempt to access lab will be caught between the two, gassed, and captured.  Should the gas fail, apply electric death.
