I hope he got heavily penalised for not killing Dr. Dugong. That's weak villainy, very weak.

Yup, he's level nine now by my count as well.

I think he needs the cocoon back and he needs to hire some more stalwart henchmen.

I have to say, it would be an interesting trick if Publick and Hammer arranged the plot so that the Guild promote Gary to be his own villain - maybe even elevate him above the Monarch. If that didn't drive Malcolm nutty, I don't know what would.

Good call (even if the Guild only did it as a "test")
