Actually, Google would be a good place to start. They ARE celebrities in a way, right? Whatever journalists couldn't find out for us should be what Cyclops sends agents to discover.

Yes! We shall google the defenders!
Then we shall do something with this new information and take over the world!
Then vodka time!

We should get started. We'll wait for the boss before firing any long-term plans, but there's stuff to do and science to discover.

Doc, get started on a mole man template; start with a single, well focused prototype and we'll give you advice on how to proceed with the research; we might not know the science, but if you give us options for gene mapping different sets of traits we'll recommend what paths to take. We expect our first option in mole-man traits by next week, and sooner if you are capable. After that (and the obligatory firing of your most incompetent interns), give us a list of your science team members and their fields of study. We should be able to micromanage them to synchronize their work with Cyclops Supreme's current plans and the organization's main and sub goals.

Otto, can you give us a list of military personnel, starting from rank Captain? We'll also want a list of grunts that the captains formally recommend (each captain recommends three lower-ranked personnel, not necessarily the best but the ones whose addition to the organization causes a high increase in military strength, possibly greater than their worth as an individual grunt). Our main goal is to form squads that can go on sub-missions while the boss works on the main plans for world domination. There's a lot of potential in specialist soldiers, potential that will be wasted if you throw all the good soldiers into suicide missions. Better we equip our top soldiers and have them pave the way for world domination.

So, can we wear our new pet geese on our heads?

>>620375
>And concerning pizza...How did we get it here? Wasn't this a top-secret base? I really hope it wasn't delivered and if it was, that we disposed of the delivery boy without giving him a tip.

The pizza guy worked for us, he had a CYCLOPS logo on him.

>>620454

Wait wait, so we've had a purrivate pizza delivery service this entire time!? Madness! Truly we're working for the right side here guys.

Sweet!
We could have a wicked pizza party later on.
But, with having this whole pizza and defenders thing brought up.
Can we send pizza to their base to their base like in prank calls so that they have to give us money?

>>620491
Only if we've got some cookie bakers over here, too, man. Pizza and Cookies.

Cookies and pizza are nice, but potaos are where it's at! Chips, french fries, mashed potaos, and so much more. Potaos are the ultimate food!

Did the meeting just degrade into talking about pizza and cookies? Hello, plans for world conquest going on over here, focus people!
Now how big are we going to make the moles and are they going to be cyborg mutants or regular mutants?

>>620548
Since we're talking about mole PEOPLE and mole MEN, I'm guessing they'll be roughly man-sized, probably on the manlet end of the scale to ensure we can easily dispose of them if they decide to turn on their creators.

And diss not the pizza for it is a worthy topic to discuss as one of few digressions thatkeep the mind relaxed and fresh for new brainstorms.

>>620551
Relax, I have nothing against pizza, I just wanted to know if the molemen will be cyborgs?
Also can we name one of them Saul?


Also the meat lovers pizza only had three types of meat when I thought it would have four.

Saul is a great name for a mole man/person.
And while we are at it. Why not make him a ninja that shoots lasers too.
Perhaps even hook up some missiles while you are at it.
And if we are going to kidnap the president it might give us a chance to test Saul the Anti Everything Moleman.

>>620574
Are you sure it was actually meat lover's, and mot meat triad? I sure didn't see any receipts, seeing as they were made by our personal chef and we didn't buy them!

>>620581
Purrhaps we could use Saul in a different way than the enemy would think. I suggest we use our test moleman as a distraction while a group of our soldiers use the chaos to take the purresident. The Ace Defenders will be so busy dealing with Saul that they'll leave the purresident more than vulnerable to an extraction team, nyah?

>>620606
Yes, and we'll call it operation secret tunnel! Something had been on my mind though, are we the only villain group? We can't be they only ones that want to rule the world. So I want to identify and destroy any competition.

If we are going to use Saul the Yet to Exist Moleman as a distraction we might as well cover him in bright lights with a ton of snakes backing him up.
Snakes can be very distracting when a ton of them are all after you at the same time.
So there will a be a distraction for our distraction!
That is if we can even get Saul The Destroyer of Fluffy Kittens and Orphans

>>620617
Or instead of snakes we can yous spiders! Or both. OR WE COULD MUTATE THE TWO TOGETHER!! Doctor madman do you think you could do that?

>>620581
Wouldn't Anti Everything also mean Anti-Cyclops? I vote against shooting ourselves in the foot.

>>620617
>>620623
Let's go one step at a time. A functional mole man prototype first, upgraded mole soldiers with snakes and spiders later. No need to make the initial task more complex than it needs to be.

You go take a nap for just a while, and this is what happens? Talking about the fucking pizzas? Come on guys, we're hired to be a shadowy board of idea men for a reason. Now, I think we all agree this stealing Santa malarkey is idiotic, but that "Steal the president" idea from earlier was pretty good, I say. We have the mole men cooking already, and we can re-purpose those mosquito bots. Maybe we could... we could use the molemen to dig up the foundations of the White House, and then dig a tunnel into it! So we send in an operative to steal the president and replace him with an actor. Then, we use the mosquito bots to pick up the White House, which we can probably do since we can order the mole men to basically just dig it up, and then transport it somewhere, and the Ass Defenders come to try and save the president, and then

well
I dunno, we blow it up? Some shit like that. And meanwhile we can just chill with the president I guess.

I was mainly joking around with the titles.
You raise a valid point though, but I still think a wave of biting satan spawn is pretty distracting.
Here is a simple plan though.
We take the president all stealth like.
then we replace him with an actor like Curt said. Start setting up a puppet government!
That is boring though. This moleman plan has a ton more explosions.
I liked the Santa Idea a bit! I think the boss would like it better if we went with his plan.
After all if this president plan fails horribly I don't want to be in that vat of acid.
Also if we do the Santa plan and it fails. Worse case. We are looking at Santa not being real.
Best case. Santa is real and we get a ton of working room for new plans and free cookies.

I just had a weird thought. Santa has some pretty powerful surveillance right? He's supposed to at the very least know when you're sleeping and when you've been bad so couldn't Cyclops Supreme be under attack from Santa's little helpers right now?

>>620629
Don't be silly, you know that Santa can only act at Christmas day, right? And the worst thing they can do is send you a piece of coal if you're a bad guy. I should know, I've been utilizing that free coal to power my own contraptions.

Although it does make me wonder, that the rumored workshop of the Santa isn't actually at the North Pole at all. It might be something more akin to a pocket dimension that only connects during Christmas day - I suspect the portal might be located at the North Pole.
Question is, how do we activate it outside of Christmas?

We could create a plan to infiltrate the postal system, they have to do something with children's letters to Santa and it would be pointless to deliver them on Christmas day after Santa has already begun his deliveries.

Or we could replace Santa with a double and use him to install mind control chips in all the toys. No wait...didn't someone already try that?
Regardless I'm split between the Santa idea because I'm thrilled at the chance to punch and elf and the molemen idea because there's a chance for cyborgs, and no fucks are given about the president idea because he has lost so much political sway of late and polatics is boring. Oh and can the spidersnakes also be part bee?

If we are fusing animals, how about the fusion of a honey badger, a bear, and a falcon. That creature would super deadly!

>>620681
Wait! The postal system, that's it! We mail Santa an envelope full of cyanide and tracking devices! It's cheap, simple, fuck, we could do it right now! And then, absolute WORST case, we lost, what, fifty dollars and five minutes?

>>620689
Skip the cyanide. Killing the fat man (if that would even work, he probably has elves to handle menial stuff and serve as an ablative defense against the simpler assassination tecnhiques) gets us nothing; the plan is to capture his base. So, we write up letters to Santa on paper with integrated GPS chips, drop them in the mail from different parts of the world, and watch where they go while the molemen are in development. That way, even if a pocket dimension or something IS involved, we at least find out where the entrances are and get some clues about his logistics.

"INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT!"

"The alarm is coming from Cyclops Supreme's quarters!"

We need to check on the Supurreme one! There could be a Krampus in there or something!

Quickly, to the Supreme One's Bedroom!

To his quarters...........which way are they?

>>620807
(We have the best collection of advisors, ever. Nobody can beat Lord Cyclops' advisor set!)
>>620809
This is ridiculous. Tell me the Ace Defenders don't have a short guy dressed in green and white with red and white stockings, that fights with cast steel canes painted like candy-canes. They do, don't they?

>>620825
"Not since we killed Sgt. Jimmy Noel two years ago."

>>620810

Lets not delay! Send in the troops to secure the area while we go check on Cyclops Supreme.

Ooh! Ooh! Dibs on Kool-aid man-ning the door in!

>>620859
I can support your breach with sniper fire. You okay with that?

Shit, please tell me this is our ninja doing ninja-y things or something and not an actual attack on that idi---on our glorious leader.

>>620809
OH FUCK OH FUCK we need to help him! *pulls out a German Mauser pistol* If he get's captured we're out of a job! *runs off, before shortly running back* Which way is the glorious leader's room? (P.S. If you need a visualization of my person, just imagine a Wehrmacht officer's uniform /w overcoat,with a sort of skeleton motif or some shit i dunno.)

I'll delegate three of my dog cyborg mercenaries to sweep the area after Mr. Riotmode there takes the breach. Meanwhile, I'll sweep the alarm system to check if this was just a ruse... I have a feeling our base is compromised, if not physically, cybernetically.

Please tell me we aren't all expected to fight, I at least was hired specifically as a shadowy adviser, I literally have only ever held a real gun only twice and have never fired one at a live target.

"Don't take your magic staff to the meeting, honey. It would be rude to look more villainous than your boss." That's the last time I listened to my wife about workplace etiquette. At least I still have my sacrificial daggers on me. I could summon some eldritch abominations to aid our liege if there are volunteers. Anyone? Dik-Dik, Miasma, I'm looking at you two.

>>620890

I'll have to pass, I plan to live out all nine of my lives without disemmeowlment if you don't mind. Besides, we should be focusing on killing our enemies, not each other.

Quickly! To his quarters! I'll be right behind you!
Specifically, behind that Riotmode guy. He looks like he can take a bullet or ten.

What is security doing?!? Doesn't our amazing leader have any bodyguards? There are flashing red lights and loud noises everywhere, we must do something.

>>620891
Why do all assume there will be killing whenever I mention sacrifices? There are many types of sacrifice that do not require ending a life, you know. Like food or blood sacrifice.

But it's nice to know who here wouldn't lay his life for Cyclops Supreme.

blood in exchange for power? Hell yes.

I'll stay here, the last time I went into sombodys bedroom because it was an "emergency" I had night terrors for three weeks.

>>620915

Look we can discuss this later right now we have a purrtential crisis, we won't be able to do anything for our leader if he's been slain.

Wait, didn't he say he was in constant contact with us through a radio in his helmet?
Uh, let's see if this works.
Hey, what's going on over there?

>>621000
It's a good idea to check if it's a two-way link (odd that we never checked before), but if Cyclops Supreme was in constant contact with us as we are with him, shouldn't we all be able to hear him right now?

>>621007
"Get in here, you fools! It's getting away!"

*gunshots*

>>621070
Hang on, sir! Otto, lead us to his quarters!

Did he just say "IT"? Is there a rodent in there!?

Let us get to murdering things damn it!

>>621075
Rodent catching would be your area of expertise wouldn't it, cat? Get a move on.

Alright maggots! It's game time!
Let us march in and kick this Micky Mouse wanabe right in the rumble spheres and go back to preparing for sweet victory! Move out!

>>621080
Alright, cat, get in there. I'm not bothering with intruders, cardboard is good for hiding, not fighting.

Sounds like what ever "it" is, it is fleeing. It must be wounded or scared we have the advantage so let's go hunting!

>>621070
you got it, boss-man!
>Riot: Recreate the Shining

*smashes glass bottle*

Lets do this.

Alright, seems I'll deploy my mercs right away.
*bzzt* Get in there, you dogs of war! Them kibble bits ain't cheap!

Remeber to knock first! Who knows what is going on in the Leader's room!

>>621070
As you command, my liege!

Ancient spirits of evil, grant us unholy speed in exchange for offering of my blood!
*craaaaawliiing in my skiiiin intensifies*

Nyah! Pounce upon the vermin with great gusto!

Ah, not to put a damper on this train of kick ass, but does anyone know where Cyclops Supreme's personal quarters are or are you just going to run randomly through the base in a disorganized mob?

Disorganised, like usual.

>>621125
>>621126
We're following Otto. Problem solved. Can we go already? I'm getting a bit lightheaded.

>>621130
Drink some water. It helps when you've lost blood.

Lets move already maggots!
Every moment not punching something is a moment something is not getting punched!

Let's fuck 'em up! *unnecessarily cocks mauser several times*

"There, in the vent!"

MOMO FOLLOW ME WE'RE GONNA RIP THAT ELF TO SHREDS.

>>621178
I want a layout of the vents! If the intruder's trying to escape, we need to know the shortest route out! Cut off it's escape!

My lord, can you order a lockdown on the base's ventilation system along with the exits? It would most likely aid our diminutive allies' pursuit after the vermin.

Okay, the rest of us will scan the base for whatever the hell was in Cyclops Supreme's room! You two bring a video camera, we can cross-reference the tracks in the air duct passages to the general layout of the base and narrow down where that sucker went!

And seriously, boss? Basic air ducts? Can't you at least install some air purifiers that kill anything which passes without inputting a password?

>>621185
"Excellent idea! You're in charge of the project. I expect a progress report on my desk first thing tomorrow."

It left a note! First, we read it, obviously. Then, we pull prints off of it! I assume we can do that. Meanwhile, the base should go into full lockdown mode, nobody in or out! We need to find that elf!
Holy shit are we really chasing an elf. Is this for real. We're chasing one of Santa's elves.

Do we have anything in the vents we could track the thing with, cameras or anything? And what's that note say?

Miasma, if you can hear me, be careful. Elves of any allegiance are fae in origin and very vicious when not in their master's vicinity. Be prepared that you'll have a fight with a cornered rat on your han...paws.

Scanning for non-fine particulates in the vent system... damn, it seems there's more than one intruder, or we have a rat infestation. Three signals detected, one in the bathroom vent, one above the trooper cantina, and another near dr. Madman's laboratory.

Someone should sweep for bugs and another group should help secure our little friend in the vents.

Hey, Cyclops, is this the first time Santa's apparently tried to kill you?

End of Chapter I
Unfortunately, this is where we're gonna have to pause for now. But Cyclops Supreme and his nefarious henchmen will be back with more evil schemes!

Oh my god. That fat fucking communist!
How dare he meddle in our grand plans for world domination in the name of America and Cyclops!
We got a midget to hunt down men. I suggest we let the freedom cat go into the vents while we split up to all of the vent exits. Once the tiny fucker pops out we clobber him!

This might be an Ace Defenders mind-screw. This guy might have disguised himself to look like a jolly elf. Remember, our plans have NOT been encrypted, and the Ace Defenders had a Christmas psycho (Sgt. Jimmy Noel).

We can't afford a trip to the north pole because of one spy. But if these attacks continue and we prepare the correct team/gear, we might be able to perform an arctic mission to shut this guy up.

As for the purifiers, I think we can make due with antigravity-contained microwave sand, which induces low-risk radiation in a small contained zone of mostly-sand, churning around to prevent dust and dirt. We'll also need small storage containers, which take air from the vents and separate different gasses into different tanks, which can be released in an emergency.

As for the death part, the sand can be superheated and accelerated in seconds, making a small sandstorm of death. To deactivate the vent temporarily, the user must bypass a coded security lock or hack the controls. Failed attempts to hack will release all the stored gasses at once, in the direction of the sand, while the antigravity is turned off.

Doctor Madman, you up for the challenge? Test a prototype, get it to work, and then come up with a protective coating/armor that allows the machine to do its job while under environmental stress.
