[Detoxicated]

As you aproach your team of dedicated scientists, Dr. Strangelove by your side, you come to think that you should start this project as quick as possible. Therefore you decide to send create two squads. One squad, assisted by you and Dr. Strangelove is to embezzle funds by doing the old telephone scam method. The other team of five is to gather test subjects in the central park area of the City of New Cork (for some reason as you speak your team you said New York), as you deem the countless homeless as a great source.

You begin scamming countless people in countless countries, and your scientists, under the guiding hand of you and Dr. Strangelove, manage to gather 40000$. As you and Dr. Strangelove were helping with this case, each of you added another 40000$ to the sum of money. Its hilarious how many people fall for the old Alaskan Count trick, but sometimes you use the old World War III scenario as well. Your scientists are greatly inspired by the magical tonguework of Dr. Strangelove as he wittily tricks eskimos to buy broken fridges over the telephone.

During break time you begin calculating the estimated cost of running this operation at the current level, and you come to the conclusion that you have to deduce a total of 10000$ per month to run everything smoothly. This is annoying you greatly as you are yet unable to produce a steady income. If only there was ways to create an autonomous system, so we would not need resources from the open world.

Your scientists who were in New Cork come back with a triumphant grin upon their faces. With the clever use of nets and trickery they managed to capture a total of 45 homeless people. You wonder how they managed to catch so many, but one of them insists that it was mainly Dr. Trip, who mixed household objects to create powerful sleeping powders.

All in all you are very happy with your decisions, and you now can carry out important scientific tests into one direction of the Biologic sciences.
A: Special Steroids  (Specify)
B: Genetical Modification (Specify)

You and your scientist devote yourself to the task to create stimulants for the improvement of the human eye, afterall it would be great if you could observe phenomena of all sorts more easily with your bare eyes. You and Dr. Strangelove indulge into the studies of different proteins found in carrots as well as some biological organisms which you could introduce into the drug as well. Studies go well and only after a period of three weeks intensive work, you manage to create five batches of Substance-1 which you test on two test subjects. One of them seemed to not react to it, the other one showed great improvement in his eyesight as well as ability to see at night. Sadly he has not produced the ability to have an x-ray vision, which was your goal in secret.

Dr. Strangelove aproaches you in a quiet hour between tests. He speaks in an unusual high tone pitch, as if he was enjoying something. "I was so free, to work on a device to recreate steroids in the future with simple means, all we need is 40000$, also I think we should consider hiring new staff to keep this operation running and safe. If you were to give me an allowance, I could work on solitary projects and increase our insights. Furthermore I have sent some research drones into the depth of the ocean and I have found some deposits of valuable elemnts that we could use for running this operation, if we research the generator. The Element I have found is known as Metrimium-1, researching a generator for it should not pose a problem to us, but building it would require great assets. What I am trying to say is, we need more cash, and to have more cash we will need to undertake business opportunities or great heists. If you have a plan you can come up with it now, or you could leave it up to me to deduce plans.

"Impressive Doctor but We don't exactly have all of the money we need in front of us. Any idea how we can get 40k without signing everything we have to some bankers?"

Work on creating a new steroid with the doctor to help a team of 21 hobos become basketball stars. When there fast/good enough we'll get them a coach to show them the game a bit and then enter them in basketball tournaments for money. It should help promote our new brand of enlightment.

+1 separate the hobos out for experimenting and for professional basket ball players. When they get good enough sell them too teams for millions.

"I like your plan, very well, but still we woud need an estimate of 30000$ to build a basketball court, also we need to develop these drugs first, and if we want to have steady batches of it we still need that replicator. You see, while you were speaking in mid term goals, I was speaking in short term goals."

"Lets talk about even shorter goals then. How do we get money for this?"

[Detoxicated]

"We can try different strategies here, each involving their own risks and benefits. First of all we could go down a criminal way, were we use our findings to improve heists which in return bring us money. A bank robbery or scams like the ones we used before can be great for our coffers but it will also cause infamy and eventually persecution. Also if things go wrong we can lose many men or other assets in a mission.
Secondly we could try to go to a normal market and sell our researched goodies to the common market. This would be very difficult to aproach from a underwater dome, and it obviously is aŽlso risky as we are also judged by the invisible hand of the market.
Our third option could be that we would work for organizations as well as governments for money, as freelancers. This could boost our own research as well as boost our research as we might get access to better equipment or scientists, but it also increases the chance of discovery to a great chance, and could also boost our infamy in many different ways. You don't want eco-terrorists or fundamentalists knocking at your door.
As before if you come up with a plan I will help you with the details, alternatively I can come up with a plan according on which plan you chose."

[Yourmaster]

Why don't we make a false identity, but some money in the bank account, and take out a ludicrous loan.

[3man75]

I wouldn't mind creating anthrax for some Eco-Terrorist as long as our hands are filled with money and the tracks can't come back to us.

We'd need to have one of us making the deal without giving away our faces or identity. Oh and make sure there are no fingerprints that could tip anyone off.

Just saying, mass terrorism could pay. In fact, what if we did it in Somalia where there is practically no Government and we can sell some lower-tech goodies to some Warlord for cash.

EDIT: We never killed anyone. The world is simply killing itself and we trade gadgets for money.

Scrap my idea, this is better.

"Say, how about teaming up with some petty warlord of a country in africa, for Instance Somalia. We could get easy money, even selling our eye prototype, and maybe even get access to some of their soldiers. Could you set something up like that?" you ask. "Splendid, certainly I have a fellow in mind who could set us up to such people, as he is in the weapon business. He does not ask questions, only asks for a share of the money we make."
You nod, and Dr. Strangelove runs off to get in contact with his acquaintance.

This gives you the time to ponder your situation. You have managed to acquire an underwater dome of high quality, and are head of a research foundation trying to better the human race. What is not to love, it is even a bit romantic. But there is still a lot of work to be done. Tests have to be made, new strategies developed and I guess you need to hire more people. In the end the humans are still so childish that they are afraid of the grand work we do, as they are in a coccoon of comfort.

Dr. Strangelove returns to your office as you were about to sip on your coffee, which you slightly spill over your fresh shirt. A petty annoyance, so you look up at Dr. Strangelove and ask in a harsh tone,
 "So what have you got?"
"Okay, my acquaintance has three different options for us, again each holding their own problems and benefits.
Option A: "Colombia. A para-military band has recently been usurped by a fella named Rodrigo Velazquez. Unlike his predecessors he is not so interested in making money with criminal activities, no in good old South American tradition he wants to usurp the government, which he claims to be opressing to install his own views. He seems to be financed or maybe he has inheritted amounts of cash, anyhow he is filthy rich for someone in his position. He is interested in combat steroids strengthening his soldiers temporarily. Anything which brings forth the revolution is of interest to him, so maybe we got a long term costumer here. Helping his cause might invoke big Infamy for us however, since Colombia has been and still remains an ally of the US."
Option B: "Somalia, Suleyman Abdi is a rather powerful clanlord, and he seeks to gain more control over Somalia. His finances look bleak compared to the other options, but he is not very choosy and likes to acquire anything which might give him an edge in the battle. Also since the area is in such an anarchic state, the world will not look as much as elsewhere, if a new warlord arises."
Option C: "Rupert MacDonagan, a filthy rich billionaire. His intentions are unclear, but he wants serums and steroids to increase his physical as well as mental abilities."
