Before long, a few strips of cloth fall off the van's side (as prearranged by your minions) to let the pursuing vehicles catch a glimpse of your insignia. Let them know who was responsible for this. A few of your minions manage to cause traffic accidents in such a way as to delay any pursuit, and before long your minions have managed to unload the crate in your lair.

A Japanese Crested Ibis. (+2 Minion Loyalty)
Weekly Actions: So apparently your minions cannot bluff. Your minions tried to gain entrance simply by pretending they were wildlife experts. Between the fake beards and the real glasses, they managed to completely bungle that. Fortunately they recovered nicely and simply used the hallucinogenic compound to gain entrance. The Ibis seems to have nearly made a full recovery, and is enjoying some time in a free range habitat. No one ever told your minions that a Crested Ibis is a particularily vicious animal. Or maybe your minions provoked it. Eventually they manage to get it into a cage and escape just as the police are arriving. ews of your theft is everywhere. +10 Notoriety.

Your chemistry researcher -would- be seeing a breakthrough, if he hadn't gotten distracted by the incredible work shown by his colleague.
Your physics research (with assistance) manages to devise several breakthroughs in batteries.
Word is starting to reach the organizations of evil, regarding somewhat more talented individuals, like Dr Doom. Perhaps some room can be made for a few folks above minions, but below the mighty level of the Evil Genius themselves.
So, Roundabout now I'm introducing Henchmen. Henchmen become available at 30 Notoriety. And will always have some skills that assist them and their stack of units in missions. -Most- Henchmen prefer to deal in the dark, so if you find out about one, You will get a PM.
