Project FOUNDER Sellbot ToonTasks

*Main article: Project FOUNDER*
 The following are a list of Project FOUNDER ToonTasks for the first series of Tasks: The Sellbot Situation.

In the first series of ToonTasks, players must recover MINGLERMAIL account information from various types of Sellbots, and complete a series of puzzles to unlock critical information on the Sellbots' involvement in Project FOUNDER. The player is introduced to the identity of The Founder as a precursor to a new Cog Nation.

This ToonTask line has a higher difficulty than regular ToonTasks of the same progression (i.e. Daisy Gardens / Minnie's Melodyland), and ramps up in difficulty fairly quickly. It also features certain unusual Cog variants that cannot be found elsewhere, e.g. Cold Callers whose attacks can freeze Toons in place.

## Requirements

Players must have completed the Daisy Gardens ToonTasks and possess a fully-completed Sellbot Cog Disguise. They can then speak to Coach Zucchini at the Squash and Stretch Gym in the Daisy Gardens Playground to begin their first Task.

Glad Hander,

Yet again, Name Dropper's recruitment efforts have been in vain. It appears a contradictory message to "Ignore last messages involving Project F.O.U.N.D.E.R." has been broadcast at exactly 12:03:18, earlier today.

The Micromanager has been reassigned to front desk duty in a recent Cogs Inc expansion. As of this moment, I will be assuming all responsibilities in the developments of Project F.O.U.N.D.E.R.. The department size, consequently, has been reduced significantly to save on operating expenses.

Which brings me to the main point. The Project is well-sought, but its priorities are inadequate. The requisite Form 686578 requires approval from the Cashbot: Special Acquisitions Department. Their Bean Counters have alerted me that the form can only be submitted by hand for security reasons. You have been entrusted to obtain Robber Baron's signature and submit the appropriate form.

Attached to this email is the first invoice for processing, with all relevant expenses. The remaining information has been redacted for confidentiality purposes, and the remainder shall soon follow. I shall not have to spell out the consequences for failure, as you are already acquainted with the fate of the rest of your department.

$666,972 - Item 6D

$6,861 - Item 6E

$64,736,861 - Item 6B, Sub-Component 65

* Use the Lone Terminal at the end of Oak Street with the following credentials:

* Return to Woody Nickel
* Deliver Forged Invoices to Coach Zucchini
	+ Reward: 800 Merits

### Part 5: Mover & Shaker

Note: Players will need Sellbot Aerodrome access to begin this ToonTask.

* Visit Coach Zucchini
* Recover a Memo from Mover & Shakers (Anywhere, Very Low)
* Return to Coach Zucchini to decipher the following memo:

From: Downsizer

Buon pomeriggio, colleague.

I hope you understand the C.E.O.'s frustrations with regard to Project F.O.U.N.D.E.R.. We are unable to acquire the necessary raw materials for the Techbots to begin the specialized manufacturing process. This is in no small part due to your subordinate's inability to obtain the printed invoices with the necessary signature required from Robber Baron. In fact, Robber Baron informed me that no such signature was duly obtained, leading me to the only conclusion that the invoices were forged.

Glad Hander has since been handed over to the Lawbots so that immediate disciplinary measures may be taken, and the Bossbots have, after several meetings deliberating the matter, reassigned the matter to the Bean Counters to obtain the necessary approvals. The Audit Team will also be present to supervise the exchange. I understand the need for company finances to be diminished greatly to support the Project, but the C.F.O. is unlikely to approve anything short of a lawful transfer of funds.

I trust that you may take over the mobilization efforts, especially since your recent sales efforts have earned you the distinction of obtaining your own Field Office. We need to drum up sales so that there are adequate funds for the Project. After your Headquarters were stormed, we have yet to recover from the financial deficit caused in its wake.

Your next assignment will be to assist the Director of Logistics at the Sellbot Aerodrome. An efficient factory is of no use to the company when its deliveries are constantly being sabotaged. Again, I trust that you know how best to assist.

On a separate note, our security via MINGLERMAIL has been compromised as of late. It is unclear how the Toons have had access to your subordinates' accounts, though I am certain you will encounter no such issue. The access codes to your latest assignment are being delivered by the Lawbots directly to the Sellbot Aerodrome.

* Recover access codes from Lawbots in the Sellbot Aerodrome (Low).
	+ In the Sellbot Aerodrome's Courtyard, each time a player beginning this Project FOUNDER task enters the Courtyard, a random Lawbot ranging from Levels 6 to 9 will spawn. If defeated, a new one will spawn in a minute or less.
	+ The access codes will spell "do", "mo", "po" and "ro"
* Use the Lone Terminal at the end of Oak Street with the following credentials:
	+ Username: mover&shaker
	+ Password: pomodoro
* Return to Coach Zucchini
* Recover an Aerodrome Master Access Key from Movers & Shakers in Sellbot Headquarters (Very Low)
* Clear a Sellbot Aerodrome run (either Standard or Express Aerodrome) with the Aerodrome Master Access Key
	+ When clearing a run, there will be slightly more Goon Balloons and Goons patrolling each Loading Bay.
	+ Each Control Room will also contain one or more Black Briefcase Cog Modifiers.
* Deliver a Blimp Inventory to Coach Zucchini
* Visit Julius Fuselick at Legato Labs in Minnie's Melodyland Playground
* Visit Shorty Fuse at the Kaboomery on Loopy Lane in Toontown Central
	+ Recover 5 Volatile Canisters from Level 7+ Techbots (Anywhere, Low)
	+ Recover 5 Crossed Wires from Level 7+ Lawbots (Anywhere, Low)
* Return to Shorty Fuse
* Deliver Firecracker Payloads to Julius Fuselick
* Clear a Sellbot Aerodrome run while placing Firecracker Payloads at marked locations in the Loading Bays.
	+ Marked locations will be generated at random.
	+ If a player misses one marked location, they may retry this task with all Firecracker Payloads refreshed.
* Return to Julius Fuselick
* Deliver Damage Report to Coach Zucchini
	+ Reward: 1,000 Merits
