Let's patent the Cooperation Edurarium and look for buys for a few of them, along with looking for buyers for the art.
Hold off.  For all intents and purposes, we don't know the effect Waffles will have is store for us.  What other forces are at work, is still a bit of a mystery.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

Experiment with attacking the shock baton to our remote control drone. Test on hobos/dogs for amusement science

November 7th, 2016

You awake this morning with a brilliant idea: The Shockdrone!
It's, uh, not that complicated. You take some tape and attach the baton to the drone. Some simple use of spare wiring laying around the garage lab allows for the connecting of the Shock Baton MK2 to the power supply of the Aerial Remote-Controlled Drone so you can use one power source for the whole contraption.
It's not exactly notable enough to enter in your records as an invention - there's nothing particularly "new" about it. If you taped a pistol to a buggy, would you call it an invention?
Well, maybe. But that's not the point! At the moment, the Stunbot is just the two objects stuck together and can be taken apart at any time.

Some... testing, shows it to be only vaguely effective. It's delicate and imprecise, but it is still very possible for it to make contact with the shock baton. If the "victim" is somehow unaware of the rather loud drone and are standing still, then you're golden. But swatting it out of the sky or running away are both very effective options to not being shocked. Though you do theorize that it still has the potential to shock the occasional swatter if they accidentally make contact with the baton. Testing the drone took 0.1% of charge from the Energ-E MK4 cell. Good thing the drone's so fuel-efficient.

Nothing else really happens today. You think about doing some patenting and finding buyers for the art, but you again decide against that.


You harvested 2 ml of venom, turned it into lasting venom, then sold it for $60.

You should really look to the wilderness for your stealth ideas, it has been doing it much longer than you have after all. Take squids for example, that ink trick works pretty well, and in water too! So you just sneak into the dam upsteam, dump several megatons of distressed squid into it, then break the dam. Boom, you suddenly have enough water-proof stealth for a whole city!

+1. I also say we should still patent the Cooperation Edurarium and sell some online since someone is going to want them and it'll help start us on the track to running what is definite a ethical and non-criminal corporation.

Agreed. However, we should sell the  care manuals  separately, so that we can get royalties when we sell them. Also, at some point we should get the university guy involved. We could always use an accomplice/human shield.

Hmm, still some kinks to work out on the drone then.

Detach the baton, work on making it a Stun-gun instead.
If successful, attack that to the drone. Once again, get some practice

Well, we should probably ensure the stun portion actually incapacitates people first.
