Weekly Actions:
Orders:
It was a trap, the approach went poorly as hell, but your minions bludgeoned their way inside through force of tech, not tactics. Managed to fight off the guards and police forces long enough to seize the necklace. At the end of the day you're pretty sure the Red Storm followed your men home. (+6 notor and Crystal Necklace)
Plotting was a dismal failure, if you could unlearn how to steal something worth a damn, your scientist just might have. You suspect he was playing cards with the guard due to his epic amounts of boredom.
Minor gains in physics for the week, nothing special seems to come to mind for yourself or your assistant.
Chemistry research went nowhere. You start to wonder what your minions do when you're not around.
