Summoning up the tools of a handyman with Omnilium, King Sombra made a mental note. At some future date he must remember to thank Carmelita because she had shown him how to manipulate the Omnilium. Without the ability to manipulate the Omnnilium he couldn't get anything done really. Concentrating he started to think of the various forms of house that he could have. A castle was too ostentatious and prideful. The last thing he wanted was to draw the attention of any "Crusader" type of heroes because those could be a royal pain. Especially Zealots, with Light Elemental Magic or magic cancelling charms on their person. A pyramid was likely too proud of a place and was going to take too much effort for him to create on his own at least. Sombra knew he couldn't afford to waste any time. What he needed to do was think of the smart type of base. A shack was simply too much like a peasant's place for him actually. Such a place meant that he would be laughed at by most villains. A mansion was actually the perfect choice. Of course drawing some inspiration from the headquarters Carmelita lived in, it would have some defenses.
His base was definitely going to have heavy gates like that of the Supra Pol Mech Department did in the Endless Dunes. Gates with large walls that possessed turrets. Turrets that were both built into the walls, but also atop them. Such turrets would be autoturrets, but that were technology. Sure he might have a bit of a steep learning curve, but he believed he could get it done. "I've clearly got my work cut out for me. Building a mansion will be no small feat in and of itself. There's also the matter of O-Harmony. Their president is going to have to experience my wrath. Locating him is going to be not so easy, unfortunately. I'll have to work hard to find him so that I can take him down. Building this place is essential to that long tem goal. I'll of course need some automated servants... maybe I could try to remember how to make golems."
