A Strange Panel
Sneaking through the bunker you come across a control panel in an empty alcove. Three large buttons invite you to press them, but the labels are incomprehensible. The smart thing to do would be to walk way... but spies don't save the world by playing it safe, do they?
| Press the Blue Button |
| Press the Green Button |
| Press the Orange Button |
| Ignore It |
Occurs at Super Villain's Lair.
Notes
- After every combat in the Lair before encountering this adventure, you receive a clue about what one button does, depending on the type of Villainous Minion in that Lair:
- As the fight ends, you hear his radio crackle to life, <clue>
- Every Lair uses one of the following sets of clues, which are always consistent with each other. Because of this, you can determine the correct button to press even after just one message. In every set, each button will always either remove 10 minions; remove 5 minions; or add 7 minions.

| Minions | |||

| Blue | "Can someone disable the indigo button, it's already too cold here." | "Whoa, who turns on the barracks air conditioning during snow season? We're out of here," you hear a group of ski patrollers complain as they storm out. | -5 |

| Orange | "Stop playing with the tangerine button, we don't need to recruit anyone else." | After a few moments, you hear a crackle and buzz and see a "Grand Opening" sign light up outside the lodge. You see seven excited ski patrollers rush in. | +7 |
| Blue | "Clear to hit the navy button once our squads are off the gondola!" | You hear a solid thud and some clanks. Looking outside, you see that the gondola has broken and count 10 members of the patrol stuck on it. | -10 |

| Green | "The mint button is on the fritz and we can't afford to lose more Jello. Be careful." | You hear a gurgling sound from the nearby break room and some cursing, "Well, if there's no more Jello, the five of us quit. Who puts snacks in an internet-controller dispenser, anyways!?" | -5 |
| Orange | "A reminder, only press the pumpkin-colored button if you know the team outside the door." | You hear a thunk and a nearby door swings open, "Phew, can't believe nobody brought an access card," mutters one of the soldiers that walks in. | +7 |
