An Idiot's Guide to the Underworld [Worm/Hades]. Primarily a Thinker, definitely. Whether it was a vicious prank that went too far or a deliberate attempt at murder I have no idea so far. Thanks for listening. The woman began to walk towards the edge of the roof, while he watched, still stunned. Shading his eyes with his hand, he peered into the distance, curious for the moment rather than concerned. Something out there is learning everything it can, about everything. The (un)lucky person turns out to be one Taylor Hebert, having just been stuffed into a school locker by a trio of bullies. At first she dismissed it as imagination, but it got louder and louder, suddenly stopping somewhere above her and to the right. Just read Caught In Causality, and man Taylor never catches a break huh? Press J to jump to the feed. The Director looked extremely angry and also nearly as scared as Assault did. For example, if it's just a story where Taylor can control the Endbrings and fixes all the problems in the world in a couple of chapters, I won't be interested in that. I'm fine, just a little shaken up, and that's all there is to it. Releasing her sister she looked at the two hand-prints on the other woman's shirt, wincing a little. The cleanest image I have of it suggests the last letter might be another S, giving shes. Either way, here it is. Amy gasped as her savior banked around another building, heading upwards. You can call me Hive. Wracking her brain, Amy couldnt recall any cape of that name. Until she triggered with the biggest ego of all: that of Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes. Oh, Jesus, Piggot is going to go insane when she finds out about you, he groaned, holding his head in his hands. Were going to have to tell the Director, of course. Yes, I think so. She hesitated. Should have floored it, Barlett muttered, taking a sip of his coffee. Generally the powers escalate from weak to strongest in the world with a good scaling conflict. He watched, then did the same next to her. Bitterly regretting her decision to go for a coffee before calling her sister for a pickup from a payphone, she stopped and listened carefully for a second or two, then looked around frantically. Looking at it she was just in time to see a small black insect fly away. The same. Dispatch, this is Assault, I'm just going off route to check something. Do you require backup, Assault? the voice of the dispatch officer asked briskly. No one else was there. Inevitably, the walls lengthen, the bars thicken, the shackles tighten. Off. Adaptation was good up until Taylor got the monkey form, after that she became an unbearable asshole. The people she can help. Fours a Party I believe qualifies, at least eventually. S Hess. "I made it" She was too tall. I'm just curious at the moment, there's something on the roof of the Fosberg Gallery that I want to have a look at. Acknowledged. Im fine, but were not going to be if we dont get out of here right now, she yelped. I genuinely thought I'd gone mad. She sighed. But I have a lot of experience with AI design, and a lot of what Im seeing fits some of the patterns Ive experimented with for data mining by sentient machines. She stopped a couple of feet away and seemed to gaze at him as if judging his sincerity. All the internal organs were protected by a more flexible and thinner version of the exoskeleton. Hope Through Overwhelming Forepower (Gunbuster!Taylor) gives her that level of power, but it takes time to get there. The burn pattern essentially confirms this theory. The story begins with Taylor encountering a homeless man in the rain and offering her umbrella to keep him dry. I missed it. She didn't move or turn around, making him wonder for a moment how she knew he was there and who he was. Off. Diebuster cross. Squealer is going to have to live with having lice for the rest of her life, she said in a tone that made him step back. Based on my own research if anything she was underplaying it. What do you make of the word or whatever it was written on the back wall of the locker? Inspecting another photo for a moment she transferred her gaze to him. You did it? I did. It is a nice day, yes, he replied after a little while. This has been rumbling for a little on my snippet thread and finally reached the point where it really needed a home of its own. (Un)Fortunately, Taylor would rather live on the streets than go with them. Sort of just so competent and sure of herself. He was pretty sure she was both telling the truth and had a personal interest in this. What do you know about second triggers? They're incredibly rare, for a start, he replied. How did that help? Youre certain of parahuman involvement in the fire? Yes, that much I am sure of. So, its likely that the same source is responsible. That would be my guess, yes. She looked seriously at him. Whoever is behind it seems curious about everything. After quite a long time in which he tried to collect himself, he finally said weakly, So, you're in He waved a hand at the wasps. He shook his head again dismissively. A member of the ABB was involved in a grudge with some E88 thugs and it spread to the school late that night, more or less randomly. I haven't touched this story in over a year, and while I was rearranging some of the vast number of files that are related to the current work, came across it again and thought it might be worth putting here for the general edification of people. It more than makes up for the greater simplicity. He stayed silent, staring wide-eyed in horror at the implications. Residual traces of certain forms of radiation lead me to believe that it was a tinker-tech incendiary of some sort rather than a pyrokinetic. Im not a threat to you, Amelia, the voice added, making her jerk in shock. But they werent fast enough to contain everything that slipped through. It's all over one sleeve of my costume as well. She looked over at the offending item of clothing which was draped over the back of a chair where she'd dropped it. Let her rest in peace. He'd initially thought 'Case 53' when he'd realized it wasn't a powered suit of bizarre appearance, but her words tended to suggest that she could remember her past perfectly well. "oops I was practicing and accidentally managed to only destroy a little box and not everyone on the island with my laser beam. The wasp was joined by another one, both of them taking off and flying interlocked rings. No doubt readers could pick out points of similarity if they cared to. Reaching an altitude of a few hundred feet Hive headed directly towards the Dallon house, making Amy wonder how she knew where it was. as well as What the hell is that? he muttered to himself. No, Im not. Well, like I said, I panicked and hid. Vicky was still looking befuddled, and muttering about giant bugs. What else? The director suddenly seemed in a slightly happier mood, making everyone look at her for a couple of seconds. Deciding that she was no worse off than if the mystery cape hadnt turned up, she slowly worked her way out into the loading area, edging around the frozen form of the erstwhile mugger, before looking around. Exactly. Surely she couldn't mean Less neurons, and simpler ones with a lot less synaptic connections, per insect, but a lot of insects. Groaning in terror she looked around again, seeing nothing else that could help her. While the overall body shape, except for the extra arms, was more or less humanoid in pattern, the head wasn't. Woman? I think Id like that. Ive got your number. When Archaon the Everchosen rejects the gifts of the Great Horned Rat, the spurned deity decides to find someone else out of pettiness and tosses a shard of warpstone into the abyss. How such a human sounding voice came from a face like that he had no idea. Yes, I suppose you could say that, Amy replied reluctantly. It would be a massive coincidence if there was something else out there at the same time doing it. OK, weve got Thinker 9? Amy smiled a little. I doubt it very much indeed, he told her. Invisible. It was very impressive. Youd probably know her under a different name, though, Sophia. They stood there for another minute or so. ShayneT exclusively writes extremely powerful characters (mostly Taylor), all fics except his current one are complete (5 total) and around 200-300k words. Did anyone else notice the Home Alone reference in Crystals section? She shouldnt really be in the position shes in because of that. The woman sounded sure of her conclusions. But, the three vicious bitches weren't the only ones who had an ax to grind that day. Medical, financial, chemistry, biology, and physics data repositories, astrophysics, mathematics, you name it. You have me at a disadvantage? Trailing off enquiringly, he waited for a name. Trap? I triggered, the power was a Master one essentially. Lifting a hand she waved it dismissively. Taylor is the best friend of a literal goddess in Constellations. She was lost in admiration of the optical cells covering the exoskeleton when the person she was investigating made an amused sound. That said, without specifically looking for it hed probably never notice. I think shes an ex-Ward.. ", i second this. That's five point four times ten to the twentieth power for human neurons. This isnt going to go away quietly. Bearing in mind the damage and the loss of life, no, Director, I dont think it will. Moving to a chair the armored Tinker sat down carefully, mindful of the slight creaks produced by the weight of his power suit. The old man notes that this is the first time anyone offered him the use of their umbrella, or kindness on such a level as her. Cape stake-outs were not his favourite brand, quite frankly they sucked ass. The sounds of footsteps came closer and closer. Muggers!? All I can do is move on. Assault shivered for a moment. The beginnings of a story I started around mid-2015 in the Worm setting, but semi-abandoned when I started Taylor Varga. She reappeared, fading into view more slowly as the effect was gradually turned off. My phone is dead, Amy said after shaking her head a little to clear her thoughts. I think. Walking slowly closer, Amy inspected the creature who was watching her. Or at least, nearly prevent it from happening. Indeed we do, if only because Im incredibly curious, she smiled. She found herself wanting to talk to the other cape again, soon. The insect-woman laughed. Unless Marcus becomes a super important character, I feel like Crystal could have been thinking about the ex-Ward thing internally. But I can call later if youre busy. Its OK, he muttered, gently urging a minute component into the correct orientation before fixing it in place with the other tool. It looks like the word she, with part of another letter at the end. It was written in blood based on the chemical analysis, Armsmaster replied. Worms, things like that. How much more? he asked slowly. Right through a window, nowhere near the E88 guys, who notice him, chase him, and in the end, kill him. Unfortunately the firebomb was a pretty effective one, it torched the school more or less immediately. She fell silent for a moment. She noticed Assault looking at her and transferred her worried gaze to him. At least as much more in the private stuff that shouldnt be able to be accessed, yet as far as I can tell somehow was. Who, how, and why, I suppose are the main questions, he finally stated. I learned to live with it in the end but it wasn't easy. Neither do I. She opened the folder again and flipped through the report and the stack of photos for a moment. But possibly a good thing, I suppose? The healer gasped in amazement. The armor of the suit had an oddly iridescent effect about it, a predominantly dark gray color sparkling through a rainbow of shades depending on the angle the light hit it and where it was on the body. Youre certain it was her? she asked quietly. The Taken Queen Taylor gets the power of The Taken King from Destiny. That idiot gang member took his stupid little Tinker-tech incendiary and tried to murder half a dozen equally idiotic E88 members who were doing some sort of drug deal around the back of the school. Really efficiently, no fight or anything. What did she do? Vicky now looked fascinated. Eventually she moved, shaking her head slowly while still looking at her sister. Now you see me She was visible again. So you're not human, then? he asked. Oh god I am so excited this is getting it's own thread. While we've done our best to make the core functionality of this site accessible without javascript, it will work better with it enabled. Only the droning of her wings was audible, if barely, and even that faded into the background shortly thereafter. No. She shook her head. Sorry. . Ill do what I can to help with Endbringers, not that at the moment thats very much except dogpiling them with a hell of a lot of attack drones, which may or may not do anything useful, and I may intervene if I see a crime that needs dealing with. Really, really badly. I didn't even notice until I left the hospital. She shook her head a little at her own foolishness. Why was she in a school locker at two am on a Saturday in the first place? Armsmaster paused, then shrugged with another small sigh. Colin, I think its an AI. To every arthropod and worm on the planet. Which would be bad, he suggested, based on her tone. On one hand I'd quite like to as I think it has some promise, on the other hand it could easily end up being another story that exploded into far more words than I was originally expecting. JavaScript is disabled. "I can see where people might find it a little unusual. 'Nearly a week since my life ended.' Looked at objectively it really did look very pretty. The sole survivor of the Hebert family sat in his chair for another ten minutes, before he quietly got up, retrieved the pistol, carefully unloaded it and locked it in his desk, then went downstairs and out the door of the Dockworkers Association building, locking it behind him. Nothing like that has happened. Too muscled. Where have you been and why didn't you call me for a pick up? Amy jumped a little, spinning around from her position at the sink in the bathroom where she'd been washing her hands to remove the dumpster-gunk, to find her sister peering in the open door watching her with mixed curiosity and worry on her face. 10 even? Piggot asked, looking worried. About | Wiki Rules | Reply !Delete to remove | [Brackets] hide titles. Too often it is for worse, and hope is crushed beneath annihilation. Energy generation ex nihilo sounds a lot like the [SOLUTION] though. Once again she wished desperately that her phone battery had any charge left in it, but shed forgotten to plug it in the night before because shed been tired and it had run out half-way through the afternoon. What do you think?, Lisa smiled, as the light from the crystals reached dazzling heights. God, Vicky, Amy said with exasperation, going back to her task with a shake of her head. You tell me. Puzzled, Amy give her a look for a moment, then walked over and put her finger on the cheek of her machete-waving recent acquaintance. Just basic stuff: a couple shields, anti-scrying, and a few bad-guy deterrents.. Put it all together and She faded out of view. Hearing a slap she looked over her shoulder to see Alec rubbing his neck with an annoyed expression. None of these conclusions, except for the second one, made her feel in any way better. Im not a Tinker, at all, but I can fake it with the best of them. She tapped the side of her head, her claws making a faint click. Muse is horrible so here is a dumping ground for whatever snippets it throws at me when i'm trying to write my ongoing fics.
