LanCorp Superweapon

The **LanCorp Superweapon** is an artificial superweapon created by LanCorp.

## Events in The Doodle Book II

### Formation

The superweapon was created in 1990 by the company LanCorp, as the late Japanese Empress, Ota Hideko, gave LanCorp CEO Alfie Lancaster a few billion dollars in order to make a weapon powerful enough to destroy the entire U.S. and get revenge for her family members who all died in the Hiroshima bombing which she hasn't gotten over yet. Due to the amount of money he was offered, Alfie immediately agreed and him and LanCorp employees Judah Cooley and Briella Kim got to work. After the superweapon was nearly complete, Hideko came to New York City with her unsuspecting husband who played no part in the formation of the superweapon, the late Hamamoto Hideko.

### First Mentioned

The superweapon was first mentioned after the late LanCorp employee and undercover CIA agent Mackenzie Nicholson mentioned it to try and gain our trust. Her true intentions along with where the weapon was being formed was revealed by CIA agent Case Dorsey after he killed Mackenzie.

### After the Transaction

After LanCorp COO Giovanni Booth was murdered by Alfie, he told the team that the transaction already happened as he already gave the superweapon to Ota and she was going to leave New York City with it tonight. However, when we got to the penthouse she was staying at, we found out that someone had fired a cannon from a neighboring building into her room, crushing her to death. When we entered the building and found Ota's body, we realized that someone, probably Hideko's killer, ran into the building after she was dead, grabbed the superweapon, and ran off with it.

After investigating the murder, Hideko's killer turned out to be Case Dorsey, who said that he wanted the superweapon's power all to himself and that he tried but failed to grill Mackenzie for it, which is why he ultimately killed her. He then said that he killed Hideko from afar since he didn't want to get caught and then snuck into her room before the cops could arrive, grabbed the weapon, and ran off, before hiding it. When we asked him where the weapon was, he said that we would never find it before Alfie shot him in the head, killing him. Alfie, Judah, and Briella were later arrested for their involvement with LanCorp and the creation of the superweapon, but it seemed that it was gone for good.

### The Thief Group

In 2025, the superweapon was mentioned again after it was revealed that the Dystopia organization was looking for it. The weapon was first mentioned after a university thief group robbed the museum and grabbed a scripture that presumably led to the superweapon's location. It was never found, however, as the leader, Nero Wershim, later bailed on it after killing professor and Dystopia member Demarcus Nixon.

### Continued Searching

Even though the thief group was later dismantled, the Dystopia organization still had all of the clues Nero and Demarcus provided them with. It was later revealed that the Dystopia leader, August Sprii, wanted the weapon to assure that everyone in the world feared him when he finally took over as world dominator. This plan didn't succeed, however, as they weren't able to find the superweapon, which cult member Tomas Church claims to have found. After investigating Tomas' apartment, however, we suspected that he was lying about it and used it as an excuse to escape police custody, which he did.
