OK, running with it being a government smear campaign then.
(Counter DH) Or he would, if he were still of a juvenille mind. Gallows doesn't actually care and isn't idiotic enough to kill of one of his biggest assets!!
Gallow's mixes together a new serum that makes him an adult, aswell as tripling his old intelligence!
Word gets out about the orbital strike, and the public is so outraged that the country breaks out into full scale revolution.
-----------
Marmot orders Scarlet killed as revenge for the humiliation. It fails and Scarlet and her shinobi abandon him.
Marmot decides to make a public announcement decrying his opponents. Unfortunately his arrogance and and hate for the common man is obvious in his vitriol filled speech, where he refers to the general public as 'sheeple' and 'lesser beings'. The public, fickle as they are, turn their backs on him as they realize why the government was attacking his base.
(Counter Bread) Except the records clearly show that marmot fired the weapon, he must have been killing his own men so he didnt have to pay them, THE FIEND!
(Theo, M=3: 6) Blinded by childish arrogance, lil' Dr. Gallows uploads a video to YouTube decrying the US Government and calling every American a mindless sheep. The rant quickly degenerates into him just hating on every living being and the video gets an unprecedented 1,000,000,000 or so dislikes. (DH, M=3: 2. Tal, N/A) Predictably, still being a kid, he goes and sulks in his room for a few days, feeling very bullied for whatever reason. Not even the single 'like' SS gave him can cheer him up.
(Noah, M=3: 2) Gallows is too depressed over his miscalculation that he doesn't feel like messing with chemicals, possibly ever again. Maybe he would do better researching machinery or weaponry. (Bread, H=3: 3. wolfchild, H=4: 3) A news reporter - let's call him Terry Blake - does some digging around after seeing the flashes of light over the desert and discovers that the government has control of an orbital laser! Being a sleeper for the LCS (because they're a useful plot device
) he sends all the relevant date to the
Liberal Guardian. Public outrage is at a new all-time high.

1st 1/2, July
Marmot Gallows is somehow a child again, roughly five years old. His assets include unusual intelligence for a child (putting him on par with a straight-A high school student), a pair of robot minions, an army of rebels at 50% strength, and a base hidden in Death Valley so it's very hard to find and get to. His army is equipped with plasma weapons and high-tech armor. Magnetic ray attachments are being produced for his soldiers. His partner, Scarlet Shadow, is a combat expert and has her own army of shinobi (at 50% strength). The upper levels of the base are in dire need of repair. The public opinion is firmly both anti-government and anti-Gallows, but perhaps a bit more hate is directed at the government. Gallows is deflecting enough attention that there hasn't been any riots yet, though.
