DESTROY CABLES IF THEY GET IN THE WAY

[6] You read the form several times. It's an application for The Macropolis Patrol. Among other things, it asks for a codename, any criminal background, powers, and important notes about your "origin story." Weirdos. On the downside, as you read it through a few times, memorizing it, you get a paper cut.
[5] Despite your burns, you hoble back to the castle, collapsing on the entryway floor. Your employees who weren't injured in the explosion help you up and bring you to your laboratory, in case you want to work for some reason; try to treat your horrible burns; and explain what's happened. For starters, there's a crater in the yard instead of the heat ray/barbeque area. Also, the explosion damaged the walls. On the bright side, the diggerbots were instructed to remove dirt from the dirt-filled rooms to fix the crater and shore up the walls, so nothing should collapse. [4] The bunker didn't sustain more than a few cracks in the ceiling.

What will you do now?

[TopHat]

Ask for a full overview of the extent of damage, and injured staff.
Get bots to repair damage.
Build another heat ray.

[Nega]

Get working on a Genetic Splicing and Cloning Machine.
Also, try and make another robotic arm and leg, we'll add those later.

[GreatWyrmGold]

[6] You get a long, itemised list. Gist of it is what was given in the last post. More specifics: Fred, Jim, Ashley, Elpis, and Caroline are in the hospital, still recovering (burns are worse on those who are still 100% meat and sane); Christiana and Britney sustained minor burns; and Gertrude was inside at the time. Your single hen was scared but unharmed. Damage costs wil probably be in the thousands, if the contractors don't fix anything except the explosion's damage.
The bots have begun repair, but as they consist of two miners, a logger, a carpenter, a crude android missing a leg, three very crude and small robots that mostly follow random people around and occasionally demand some of Jim's time in repairing them, and a general-purpose android missing a head, progress has been...slow.
Seriously? You're building ANOTHER big heat ray? Fine. HR-8 [5] is made fairly quickly. This pretty much tires you out.

DAY 10 OF VILLAINY COMPLETE

You wake up. Your burns are sore, but other than that you're fine. Christiana and Britney have returned, and are horrified that you built another big heat ray. Breakfast is good, but a bit dry. Britney's under stress.

NINJEDIT:

Get working on a Genetic Splicing and Cloning Machine.
Also, try and make another robotic arm and leg, we'll add those later.

[3] You build the machine after reading up on the literature of genetic engineering, and install it in one of the basement rooms near the laboratory. You decide to commandeer one of the other nearby empty rooms for storage of experiments, test subjects, H₂SO₄, etc. [6] The new arm and leg are so great, you can't wait to put them on! Starting with the arm...huh, self-surgery is even harder one-armed.

What will you do now, O Mad One?

[TopHat]

Shoot down the next military plane that flies near with heat ray. Salvage wreckage before anyone else turns up.
Fill in Superhero Application form.
Clone chicken in machine as a test.

[GreatWyrmGold]

[5] A small scout plane flies over. [1] The heat-ray beam reflects off of a shiny part of the plane and hits the castle. That was your favorite tower, too...
You fill out the application. You decide on a codename.
[3] You catch the chicken but dent your leg. [6] You now have four chickens.

What's your heroic codename, and what will you do?

[Nega]

Ray. Fantasize on having an army of Cyborg Cutebolds, then start to think of the feasibility of such a project.

[GreatWyrmGold]

[5] You fantasize about cybolds. [3] You have a plan, but it requires at least one cutebold.

[TopHat]

Hire people to make repairs.
Think of way to make cutebolds.

[GreatWyrmGold]

[3] You find a contractor willing to fix the tower, and possibly make it better than ever! Depending on what you want, it could cost as little as $10,000 or as much as $500,000. He'd need to look it over and hear your plans first, though. Consider getting a loan if you want anything fancy.
[6] You come up with three ideas: Dimensional travel, reverse-genetic-engineering, or two cutebolds of opposite gender.

[TopHat]

Rob some other random store.
Try the second cutebold option (reverse-genetic-engineering)
Clone some more chickens.

[GreatWyrmGold]

[1] You attempt to rob the local police station... it kinda stops your other actions...

[TopHat]

EDIT:
Ignor the previous stuff:
Produce Macropolis Patrol entry form and explain that I was 'testing' the police security.

[GreatWyrmGold]

[1] Oh, dear. They called in the Patrol, and now you need to explain to them why you were trying to rob the police station...
The dice hate you. So does random.org.
