1) Did the results seem fairly random, or did the mission results correspond well with the amount of energy that each of the members spent? Magneto it sounds like performed admirably, but did he also spend the most energy to do so?

2) Those that had the worst performances, was it also energy driven? As was mentioned one of our prelates ordered an unprepared member to the team at a late date, and without any chance to put in orders otherwise, I assume the default expenditure of 1 energy point resulted in a poor performance on their part?

3) Since no one mentioned any public acts of sabatoge, are we to assume that this mission failure was simply that we were less organized, less prepared for this mission than those that opposed us?

4) Any idea if a bad guy who ends up on a mission can have a "good result" due to random rolls or point expenditure and buy trust similar to what has happened in other parallel universes previously? (ooc: ie: spawn games)

Based off of the fairly short descriptions of the mission report that have been provided thus far, it sounds more of a case of us defeating ourselves than anyone else stopping us. Hopefully we can learn and be ready for the next mission as it comes up.


I spent more than the minimum amount of energy too, becuase I wanted our first mission to be a success.

If nobody else cares to volunteer their effort for this, I will set my intellect to it.

Well after seeing the results of this first mission, I will forego my experiments and commit to a mission on the second day. I truly thought nothing could withstand the combined might of that first mission group, so clearly all of us will be needed at some point to participate in these missions.

Kang, my original intent was to limit our team to five members. Now I see that this may have been a grave mistake. Please understand that my decision is subject to change should the First Prelate disagree, but at this time I'd like to:

I do not know the specific value of research, Doctor Pym, but the fact that it can be done indicates to me that there may be some inherent value to it.

If you are looking to add further people to our team, I would possibly find having Henry Pym available to bounce some ideas off of fairly useful. It also would allow each of us to possibly alternate on missions, as his going on a mission tommorrow might free me up to do some much-needed research.

That left only the Brethren that had invited me, until S.H.I.E.L.D came along. Hrm.

Wanda, I am still catching up, but if there is time for you to reconsider our team, please do so.

Agreed, Mr. Fantastic.

Henry, it seems our time of need may already be upon us:

Regarding the events of our mission to detain the mutant psychic, my apologies if my description of the events involving the battle was not entirely clear. We were, as stated by Prelate Grey and confirmed by others, fighting through the automatons, towards the eye of the stom when it suddenly dissipated.

Regarding my personal energy contribution to the endeavour, I regret that I was unable to augment the default output of 1, as I was unaware that I had been ordered to accompany the mission until after it's unsuccessful completion.

It's obvious to me tht we need to have some bigger teams, so I was hoping to keep Brethern at about four of five, but now we may need to up that. As such, I am sending out a few official invites to those not deemed "powerful" enough to join group like Strike Squad or connected enough for Mags group.

Invite Jewel to join Brethern
Invite Spider Man to join Brethern
Invite Iron Fist to join Brethern (in case he checks in)
Invite Cable to join Brethern

This also includes the invite for Strange earlier

My reckoning is that myself, Vision, Mr. Fantastic and now Kang have specifically joined today's Galactus mission. I would remind and encourage other Strike Squad members that they must announce their intentions prior to the mission (post in thread).

I do not think that an unlimited number is a good idea. We know not what challenges we face here as well. I suggest no more than two more people join the mission today.

I've received additional information about the mission, which Emma should be able to verify: the mutant we faced received additional help and was not solely responsible for the attack. Specifically the help was from the opposition. Whether the opposition was from within our strike team or not is nebulous from my reading of the message. Perhaps she will be more clear on this point.

I received this info because of certain powers, one of the reasons why I wished to go on the mission.

There will be. People need to declare the attacks here, and the writeups provide clues.

We are disappointed in the lack of success in the last mission. We expect success in the next outing. Remember my subjects that we may determine not to have a death today with no ill effect, so be careful with whom you attack. I expect an attack from all however, as it does not do us good to recieve less energy back.

Regarding the mission the account Erik provided is accurate. However I could sense that the mutant we were sent to apprehend, the person creating the psionic storm, was definitely receiving assistance from another source, the rebellion. I regret to inform you that I have little doubt that the rebellion will benefit from defeating us in this mission. My impression is that without the aid of the traitors our team would have succeded. I am of the opinion that we did not bring enough energy to the mission while the traitors, combined with the mutant, was too powerful for us. While there was no evidence of anyone on the mission pulling their punches, I can't say that it is impossible.
