Problem is, if people in the heroes thread receive a request for research on their bodies, they're going to assume it was a villain that put it forth, unless helmacon makes it clear that NPCs can also make such requests in the game. As far as I understand it there is no NPC element so far. (GM: Clarification on that?)

If there is indeed no NPCs that can do these kinds of things, I instead propose some quiet research into superhumans. Basically first finding out preliminary information about superheroes (from news articles and things), and then calling in some favors with government officials that we know in order to access some of their records on superheroes, to iron out the details.

(I'm intending to assign Dark Hand to the beginning part of this, but the calling-in-favors part Brian Matter will do himself.)

Discretion is more important in this stage, imo.

We need to avoid the heros finding us now

Nah. It’s not like they can hurt Brian without serious backlash.

[Rockeater]

But they can still be in his city and destroy any plans we have

I actually like the idea of going loud and proud on this one. We need benevolent research into meta-humans, so that we may quietly manipulate what we might actually learning behind the scenes.

And to buck the trend.

Supercomputer Research: Using the theory behind the cerebral booster as a base for this project, an ingress is made into making the computer itself a self aware entity, bypassing the the need for a human intelligence to be attached to the device.

No, but they can outright refuse our request.

If it pays off, it will be worth it and will open the doors to drones and maybe even androids. Though researching Metahumans is useful too...

I have a problom with making the computer self aware

Same. If anything, just research autonomous spy and strike drones, that don't require human input (other than setting their target), but don't make decisions on their own either.

[TamerVirus]

I don't think making Ultron right now would be the best decision.

Honestly, I love the whole reverse X-Men idea a bit too much for super-computing right now. Down the line though, we should really consider starting a charity called You Matter; a 'charitable' organization that tracks down young meta humans and gives them a 'better' life through education and training, helping them find a place in this cruel, unforgiving world that does not like nor love meta-humans.

[Taricus]

Hence why the supercomputing is something we need; we're gonna need to figure out how best to ensure those metas are safely able to use their powers.
