Weekly Actions: Lord Silver, your minions descended upon the research facility where the Sentinel Project was being perfected. They blasted a hole in the wall with their giant laser and descended during the confusion a random explosion causes. The battle was fierce and pitched with the internal security forces. Both sides remained in fine shape until the arrival of the N.C.V, opening a second front with a completely separate giant laser blast, causing the internal security forces to be picked off easily. Our two factions eyed each other warily for a few moments before conflict rose anew. Even though their numbers were inferior, a fortunate shot by the N.C.V knocked out our giant laser! With laser superiority, the N.C.V managed to keep us pinned down while they made a move for the prize, Project Sentinel!
Another explosion rocked the facility, followed by a weird electronic hum. Maniacal laughter was heard within, and a voice crying out "YES! ITS MINE!". And the next thing we knew, a man in an exo-suit was there, forcing the N.C.V to retreat.
"Yes! Return to your feeble masters, and tell them that Doctor Doom possesses the Sentinel Project now!"
After this, your forces managed to pull out with no casualties, and the N.C.V, hounded by Dr Doom, retreated into the night.
Dr Doom apparently spent the remainder of the evening tormenting the police with his new exo-suit.
Also, it seems that both you and the NCV were noted as being involved in this heist. +4 Notoriety
Fortunately, the laser itself was mostly undamaged, fixing it didnt take any time.
Your research is a modest success this week, pushing you well past the point of breakthrough. Your laser gun research is necessarily sidetracked by the need for an improved power supply.

Hot off the presses, your minion has discovered an entire case of what is quite possibly the worlds most sought after fine liquor. The case was discovered during the renovation of a subway system, and could fetch hundreds of thousands at auction. But not if you get your hands on it first.

The fire wipes clean the area, and forces hundreds of thousands in property damage!
+11 Notoriety, After your well worded communique to the powers that be, claiming responsibility.

Lair: A warehouse on the outskirts of London.
Weekly Actions: Hiring a scientist goes quite well, another disgruntled recruit straight from university.
Your research goes modestly , and you think your research department has ironed out all the gaps in your Robotics research.
Well, your minions manage to assemble a dossier on one Dr Doom. Hes well known in the villainous world, but has never really had the subtlety required to rise to the ranks of Evil Genius. Hes often been associated with other more prominent villains. Hes quite talented in Robotics, and only has a small cadre of dedicated technicians who are responsible for maintaining his robotic contraptions of death and mayhem. He also loves phoning up the media and grandstanding before them while he commits mayhem and chaos.
Theres every possibility that his lair is somewhere in Northern France. That's what your research suggests.
A payment of $500 is received from one Reginald Gathord, Great Mastermind.

Your research goes particularily well this week, pushing you well past a breakthrough in Physics! You successfully demonstrate an energy shield by strapping it onto a minion, firing it up, then shooting at him with a semi-automatic gun. Pity the shield got shorted out, but at least you were done firing.
3 of your regulars hit the streets, to do petty crimes and raise your cash resources. Its a reasonable success, pulling in $240 in cash. The cops must have been dozing while all this happened, +2 notoriety.

Fortunately your minions all evade capture, But it seems Natalia Shields is expanding her repertoire and area of influence, and is directly responsible for nearly putting your men behind bars.

Well, Either there are no local botanists, or your minions simply cant find them. They suspect none have ever put down roots here.
Your scientist deigns not to descend to simple 'plotting' instead, working on biology with you.
And yknow what, The research was going just fine, until one of your minions thought they heard a noise, and stormed into your laboratory in the dead of night, upsetting everything! It takes you the rest of the week simply to clean up the mess.

Weekly Actions: Your minion assigned to mayhem does poorly. His explosives never go off, he cant menace anyone effectively and hes just incapable of coming up with catchy slogans that strike fear into the hearts of the populace. He refuses to leave his room for the rest of the week.
Between you and your minion, you manage to get a few ideas down on paper, but the week is pretty much a wash in terms of progress.
As your minions planned, the Minions of Lord Silver descend upon the research facility where the Sentinel Project is being perfected. They blast a hole in the wall with their giant laser and descend during the confusion a random explosion causes. The battle is fierce and pitched with internal security forces. Both sides remain in fine shape until the arrival of your minions, opening a second front with a completely separate giant laser blast. This causes the internal security forces to be picked off easily. Both factions of evil eye each other warily for a few moments before conflict rises anew. Even though their numbers are inferior, a fortunate shot by your troops knocks out the E.V.I.L giant laser! With laser superiority, your forces manage to keep E.V.I.L pinned down while they make a move for the prize, Project Sentinel!
Another explosion rocks the facility, followed by a weird electronic hum. Maniacal laughter can be heard within, and a voice crying out "YES! ITS MINE!". Your forces reach the heart of the research facility to find it swarming with crude robotic automatons, and Doctor Doom, strapped into an exo-suit. He picks up a convenient desk and hurls it at your minions, forcing their retreat.
"Yes! Return to your feeble masters, and tell them that Doctor Doom possesses the Sentinel Project now!"
After this, the forces of E.V.I.L managed to pull out with no casualties, and your own troops, hounded by Dr Doom, retreat into the night.
Dr Doom apparently spends the remainder of the evening tormenting the police with his new exo-suit.
Also, it seems that both you and E.V.I.L were noted as being involved in this heist. +4 Notoriety
Newcomers to the path of Villainy, I bid you welcome. I have run across several of your operations during the course of my actions, and I like what I see. I make the following decree to you all, The first of you to reach a suitably diabolical threshold shall have the chance to make a permanent alliance with me, Dr Doom! Together we shall force the world to its KNEES!
Yet again, Feel free to point out errors.
