Calamity! Doom gets intercepted by The Red Storm! They fight in an open street with the media and police looking on, powerless to intervene as the first police on the scene were destroyed by Doom's use of giant laser. Doom gains the upper hand briefly, but the Red Storm annihilates a pair of Dooms thugs while the others limp back home. At the end, both Storm and Doom tumble into the sewers and neither resurface this week! (BOTH Doom and Storm are MIA till week 18)(-2 Thugs)
Your Regulars manage to steal a couple cars, but forgot to find a chop shop to sell them to. On the bright side, at least you have a few disposable getaway vehicles now.
Your Tech decided to paint your Organization name on a football field, in gasoline and fertilizer, burning your name into the grass for the next several weeks. (+7 Notoriety)

Your minions unsure exactly what you're looking for, sneak away in the middle of the day to do some petty crime, stealing you a few more resources. +11 Resources +3 Notoriety.

Orders:
Well, your minions speak of their fine approach and keep going back over it in their accounts of the mission. However there are differing reports of how horribly things went bad. Too much security they say, the police arrived too quickly says another. The lunatics distracted them. Every minion has another story to deflect guilt or blame. The police are talking about your attempt, but nothing came of it this time. (+4 Notoriety)
Your continuing extortions attract the attention of C.A.R.E. once more. They manage to break one of your cash extortions, but little else. +4 Notoriety
Teeth fails his extortion attempt, your Thug never returns. News reports tell of 'Another robbery gone wrong' in the same area Teeth reported your Thug was headed. (-1 Thug)

Weekly Actions:
Your technician easily pieces together the gear you request. Minus the giant lasers as he does not seem to have any plans for them (..At least not according to my sheet, or any of the turn reports back to 10 where I checked. Did we miss a trade? Should you have them?)
Two of your thugs report success, One does not return. Your minions spend some time swapping rumors of this new force striking out at the evil forces of the world. (+$1,000/W) -1 Thug
A few priceless baubles catch the eye of your seasoned henchman. He reports a nicely lucrative opportunity to acquire some precious crown jewels of some ancient dynasty or another.
Your guards report nothing unusual this week. Maybe a few more idle glances from the townsfolk where you're making port.
Your chemistry research moves slowly along. Nothing to report here.
On the other hand your physics team does much better, making a breakthrough and easily confirming some of your traded plans.

Mayhem goes marvelously. Your minions are the terror of several small towns surrounding London. Even a rail station or two are bombed and the credit goes to you, Dr Black. +14 Notoriety total
The plotting goes alright you think. Your minions have at least a passable plan to steal a priceless item. The worlds first spacesuit. Do you dare to be up to the challenge?
Slow going on that research, your minions are nowhere near even the beginning of that project. However they make good strides in Robotics as a result. Well, except the two invited to a 'game of cards'.
Your minions unveil a cunning device that they use to keep an eye on each other, and the base. Though they suspect it would be of far greater use out in the field.

Weekly Actions:
Nothing to report guard-wise this week. Though Breaker goes out a few times and comes back whistling jauntily.
Your Thugs nearly had the information from the underworld they were looking for. Apparently the contact ditched at the last minute though. Your minions DID manage to determine the threat isn't from the underworld, but some Agency acting from the shadows.
The Lair Hunt went ok, your men know his general location is somewhere in Spain. Further investigation should reveal his exact location.
Research:
Physics research went well. Your minions have a solid idea of the direction they think they should go for the next step.
Biology research goes..poorly. Your minions are far too busy testing recreational pharmaceuticals of no strategic merit.

Shielded Guards make for good defenders, But alas the world seems to be passing you by in terms of interest.
Your minions expand on the plan for the vase, but are effectively waiting for your go-ahead. (+2 to all rolls within that plotted mission).
Poor research all around. You suspect it might have been due to several brownouts in the local area that disrupted your power long enough to infuriate your scientists as it chipped away at their work. Some progress was still made. (Wow that was a collection of horrific rolls! Ye didnt get ONE over 40 mate.)

Well your minions have a few ideas on where to start, focusing heavily on the United States to track down the Boys or maybe the Disciples. But no real solid leads yet.
The scientists do some great work, easily pushing forward to a breakthrough and nearly a second.
Your continuing extortions draw a little more notoriety your way. +2 Not.
Nothing to report Guard-wise. Though rumor has it C.A.R.E is plotting something in your area.

All your research made some decent gains except your Physics. Even with your personal guidance little got done. A breakthrough was still made but alas it wasn't anything new or shiny. A pair of your scientists had a bad reaction to the drugs though and are laid up in bed for the next week.
Guard duty went lazily, nothing to report.
