   Actually,. I dismissed it. It's too easy to tell when someone isn't   
   themself. There's also too great a risk that they will revert back somehow   
   and spill the beans about a phase of your plan. Similar circumstances for   
   evil doubles. Too often, they behave incorrectly, or go rogue, as the   
   Psychos did.   
      
   In the event the team has a mechanical genius AS a Ranger, do not give the   
   team the chance to utilize that talent. Rapidfire assaults to prevent   
   equipment repairs will suffice until you are prepared to take them down once   
   and for all.   
      
   And I HAVE had a master schemer going around the Cyber Rangers yahoo group.   
   At several points, he's had the Megazord trashed, an inside agent, evil   
   Rangers, the main Megazord/headquarters down, evil Zords, mind control, and   
   the threat of an aneurysm for the new Green Ranger. He ALWAYS has a   
   contingency plan in place, and it's almost dumb luck the Rangers have   
   survived. At one point, he had them captured, morpherless, chained to a   
   dungeon wall, and their sixth reduced mentally to a child... And they still   
   managed to come back once the sixth remembered who she was.   
      
   So keep in mind... even this plan isn't foolproof. No plan is.
