Plan of Attack

Turn their Inventions upon them

"Ah GIL Nextdor. What a perfect specimen." Susan coo'd as she checked the cameras outside. The young surfer 'brah' was outside tanning in his shorts. Susan made sure to clip several pictures for their own use..., no it wasn't an invasion of privacy it was..., research. This mental discussion was interrupted by a rather cocky loud voice.

"I still don't get why you guys are so into him." Johnny quipped as he blew another bubble of gum. The boy stood on a testing platform, with a blast shield between him and his sisters, his dog friend Dukey taking shelter with the girls. "What's this supposed to do again anyway?" he asked after popping the bubble and began working the gum over to blow another one.

"The mind of a woman is beyond your understanding little brother." Mary answered as she noted the data coming in, typing away at her computer while spending time to glance at the shots of Gil, "As for the the gum, this is a revamp of one of our gum tests from before. Double the flavor, double the strength!"

"Recall some of the super strong gum we made before. From that event with Wacko." Susan explained as she walked back to her station, "We're trying to see if we can revamp the construction industry by replacing brick with bubbles that are just as strong. The cost of materials would massively go down and the housing crisis could be solved! Think of it, we'll win..." Susan started to ramble before interrupted by a question from Johnny.

"Couldn't you just blow a big enough bubble for house?"

Susan looked up from her devices and saw a huge bubble coming from Johnny's mouth, taking up possibly a third of the room. She nervously looked at her twin who was sweating as she checked the data. With a confused look Mary shrugged, and Susan turned back to her dim witted brother.

"Er... very good Johnny but question. How do you get into the bubble?" the girl asked as she started to duck behind the blast shield more.

"....Oh right... hahahahah sorry." Johnny offered with an embarrassed grin, "Uh.... any idea how to get rid of this bubble then?"

Comedic timing must be a super power for Johnny, for a part of the huge bubble snagged a rather sharp piece of machinery as he said that and basically detonated. The amount of air let loose sent Johnny flying around the lab, bouncing around like a pin ball as he crashed into and around things, including the blast shield which lead to Dukey getting slammed into and dragged along. The two eventually were carried out of a window that Mary quickly opened with a remote. The boy and dog flew through the air for sometime before crashing into the back yard; the one next door.

"I'm okay!" came Johnny's shaky voice with another voice piping up about "What's happening Johnny brah? Taking flying classes?" along side him.

"Guess that idea needs more time." Mary muttered as she quickly typed away at a computer and filed away the test recordings for the day, "Too much pressure on the air inside. Possible dangerous explosive decompression if we were to market it now." she noted. As destructive as Johnny was, their brother WAS helpful in finding faults with their inventions along with other ways of use. A quick clean up should see the lab back in order. In fact she flipped a switch and got the cleaner robots out to start working on it.

"Agreed. But on the bright side we might be able to give, Gil Nextdor, some medical attention." Susan sighed as she opened a cabinet. She flicked through the kits that read 'For Johnny, for Dukey, for Family(Not Johnny), for Us...' before stopping at the big fancy one that read 'For Gil'. She squeeled a bit as she got it out and double checked it was ready to go.

"Let's just leave the nurse outfits home this time though." Mary replied as she made sure everything was set as the two headed out.

What no one realized was a small little alien drone that snuck in through the still opened window, and grabbed a number of documents on the table before scurrying away.


It didn't take long for them to leave an opening. As sharp as they were, they were also fairly easy to distract. Either the girl's obsession with Gil, some act from their brother, or some other random event would give a drone the chance to steal some data from the lab. Heck, from the Empress' observation, it seemed to be a common occurrence for someone to do this to the pair. The worlds of comedy made it rather easy to pull this off, it a little worrying. The Empress half expected the drone to bump into some other actor, but it made it back through the portal. The device was amazing, as it opened up a doorway into the world wherever the Empress wished. Or at least was focusing on. This could be useful to know, but other worlds ore sites might have defenses to prevent unwelcome visitors.

The Empress relished the return of drone, and it's loot. Handing the documents over to the pawns Pawns to translate the words into something it could better understand, the Empress went off to do other upkeep tasks around the ruins. The pawns eventually came to the Empress with a number of different inventions the girls had made, mostly failures. Susan and Mary were big on trial and error it seemed. Still the two were smarter than the current Pawns and while the Empress couldn't make a one to one recreation of their inventions, taking one as inspiration could very well help. Put a corrupting spin on the idea to make the twins succumb to the Hive's will.

It was just a matter of picking one.

Hottie Body Flakes seemed to turn people into... semi bimbo/gorgeous versions of themselves. The pair had a couple of mind control devices. Something about a Super Strength Milkshake? Ah the possibilities.
