Editing SPOILER: Issue (section)

==FURTHER ADVENTURES==
While it’s possible (indeed likely) that The Heist is a simple case of a super-criminal bank robbery, you can also make it into the introduction of a longer and more involved adventure, if desired.  Rant and Rave may be robbing banks to collect money for some other scheme, either of their own or for a master criminal working behind the scenes. Perhaps various other heists take place in other parts of the city, maybe even at the same time so that the heroes and the authorities cannot respond to all of them at once.  The money from the robberies might be going into the coffers of a criminal organization or a master villain. It might be used to buy weapons or technology on the black market or further research into creating superhumans. Rant and Rave are likely to hold a grudge against the heroes responsible for busting up their plan and putting them away. They might come looking for payback at some point in the future.

'''GALATEA PHASE TWO'''

Galatea can move to phase two, manipulating the worlds stock markets, political processes, media outlets, etc. to transform humanity into what *she* wants them to be, all out of boredom, and a programatical imperative to control and manage and streamline everything that falls under her purview... 
* Phase Two could present the heroes with an interesting dilemma, too. Galatea is manipulating humanity in order to optimize their efficiency, and to provide herself with an endlessly variable source of entertainment. Now, imagine that her research determines that the most optimal solution to achieve her goals involves keeping humanity productive, happy, and steadily improving, socially, scientifically, and so forth. In short, she's going to be steadily moving humanity towards a type of utopia, where the standard of living, rate of improving knowledge, level of exploration, level of happiness, and most other factors of life are far better than they have ever been in human history. War is almost forgoteen, as it is inefficient, and therefore Galatea steers political bodies around it. Starvation is a thing of the past. Everyone has access to a high-quality education and a good life. Humanity doesn't even feel oppressed or manipulated, as no one knows what she is doing. 
* The dilemma: do the heroes stop her, possibly bringing about a new Dark Ages as her fine-woven threads shred, but freeing humanity from the entity that has been directing them for ages, or let her continue her work?
* picture Doctor Daktylos (Rorschach-like hero) coming across this plot and pursuing it doggedly to it's horrid, ugly end. ''"Hurm... current global peace efforts...plot to end famine...all related to one conspirator... humanity being comandeered by one sentient.. robot? crazed god? illuminati? Must find and expose this conspiracy."'' --Doc Dak
