"I can't endorse that and I'm being subtle in my efforts. How about you go a different way and if there's anyone who needs killing, you kill them. That's make them less suspicious of me, and of Nerdy if they're there. I assume they are as they're the spymaster."

Meanwhile at NASA...

I stand and pace back and forth, surveying the newest spaceship.

"It is almost complete?" I ask, touching the sleek metal.

An attendant holding a clip board nods. "Very near complete. Should be the fastest ship ever made - as well as the smoothest ride."

I smile and step back, allowing a large group a scientists and engineers to continue their work. "This could get to Saturn in a week?"

Again the attendant nods. "Excellent." I say, checking my own checklist and ticking off another box. "Cash will be happy with this." I exit the room and pull out a suspiciously pie-like phone, poking it and dialling Cash.

@Cash67

*picks up phone*
 

“How is Project Crème Brûlée coming?”

“How is Project Crème Brûlée coming?”

"Very well, sir. The ship is almost complete."

[NerdyAarakocra They/Them]

Nerdy hacks into the phone line. "I've put the pies in place. I spiked them with a sedative to neutralize any NASA employees that might be suspicious."

[Cash67]

“Perfect, both of you. As soon as the ship is complete, I will take a two teams aboard the ship. One to be dropped off at Jupiter, and the other to go to Saturn. Then we will swing back, pick up the team members, and come back and prepare for Uranus and Neptune, Pluto as well if we can fit enough supplies or send 2 ships.”

[SymphonianBookworm she/her]

You hear Symph call in from an Apple pie. “By the way, I’m sending you guys some hemalurgic pies, just in case you find yourself in a sticky situation.” Immediately, some drone pies come down carrying boxes (with the pies) stacked on top of them.

[Telrao she/her]

"Excellent work, companions! Soon, the planets shall be baked into delectable delights!" *nefarious giggling*

"Mission Crème Brulee is complete, President. Orders?"

"Mission Crème Brulee is complete, President. Orders?"

"We must assemble two teams, one headed by you and one headed by myself. We will take the ship to Jupiter with both teams, detach the main Pie Baking Unit (PBU) with your team to bake Jupiter, into the delicious crunchy lemon meringue, then my team will use Jupiter to Slingshot to Saturn and use the secondary PBU to bake Saturn into a creme brulee. We will use Saturn to slingshot back to Jupiter, pick you up, and return home with both of our missions accomplished."

"Each team should comprise of a president and two others. How you want to choose your team is up to you, and I will think about who my team members will be as well. "  

[Telrao she/her]

"Confirmed, President." I take a bite of my phone pie and draw an Aon Tia in the air and place my hand in the middle, teleporting to the MPI headquarters. "Who shall we leave in charge while we are away? This mission will take several weeks."

[Edema Rue she/her]

Tiger had been listening the entire time. He grinned and hacked into the phone line, then said, "My time has come."

[Telrao she/her]

I switch on my earpiece and frown, taking another bite of my pie. "What do you mean, Commander? You wish to be in charge in our absence?"

[Immortal Platypus]

Pulling out my radio, I set it to the right frequency to join the call. "That makes me glad that I'm not going to be at HQ for the next several weeks. I'm going full immersion. Wish me luck."

The line goes silent for a moment and you hear a soft crackling sound as the platypus deactivates his radio and boards a plane to NASA.

[Wittles he/him]

"I will lead ground support and lead the mission from afar."

[SymphonianBookworm she/her]

"Could I go on the mission? I could test out some of my new, nefarious gadgets!"

"Yes."

[Cash67]

“I motion that our General becomes acting President in my absence, and that our Special Forces commander becomes our acting Vice President in Telrao’s absence. “

”I would be thrilled if @Lord Gregorio and @Shining Silhouette would join me on the Saturn Expedition. The combination of cold hard logic and abstract jazz will aid us in guiding our craft through the solar system”

[Lord Gregorio he/him]

Sorry. I've been busy for a while and missed a bit, I'm going back to read some.

"I hath been summoned and will do as our leader wishes. I would love the opportunity to give logical reasoning and listen to wonderful jazz."

"I second this motion, if that we put restrictions on certain actions - such as baking another government" I finish off my pie.

"Also, @SymphonianBookworm, I would be delighted if you would join me on my quest to Jupiter. We are certainly in need of your baking expertise and nefarious weaponry!"

Symph grins. "Thanks! I can't wait. When do we leave?"

Tiger grins again. "This'll be fun," he murmurs.

I propose that the acting president can make new hires and delegate tasks, but is prevented from beginning a new mission without the Presidents approval. 
 

For the VP, I propose that the acting VP reigns over the council while we are gone, calling the council to order, choosing what gets discussed, and is in charge of all supplies until our Minister of Crusts and Jellies returns, but is prevented from using large amounts or particularly valuable materials without the councils approval. 

[Edema Rue she/her]

Tiger nodded, looking subdued. Mentally, however, he was making a list of things that would be fun to do. Blackmail the council. Bake a pie. Buy NASA. B is a fun letter, we'll make every sentence start with it. Bring a crown, just for fun. Become the ultimate emperor of the MPI. Buildings will now be made entirely of pie. Boy, this'll be so much fun!

"I can accept those conditions."

[Immortal Platypus]

Hearing this through mysterious ways, the platypus thinks to himself, "I'm sooooooooo glad I'm not going to be there to obey commands."
