Amelia, Worm AU [Complete]

I haz made a thread: http://forum.questionablequesting.com/threads/panacea-engineering-worm.1191/

 

That's not the problem. Problem is I have two chapters that cross through each other as far as timelines go. Perspective/Etc. And I need to get a good look at both of them before I decide how they work together.

 

Curses! I don't know how we're going to cope with the delay while you write the next chapter.

But, yeah. The fact that you do twice daily updates on the fic really makes a slight delay basically immaterial. You do you, boo.

 

Jinxed yourself, didn't you.

I'm going to assume that if the Protectorate tried to claim any soil as its own, the US government would have something to say about that as well

 

Obligatory:

 

Erm... plumbing and sewers.... Didn't Yggdrasil already do that for BB as well as a few other cities?

I suddenly am seriously wishing for a Fate/Stay Night / Worm crossover. Not a "Taylor triggers with UBW" fic, but a straight-up post-UBW route Emiya Shiro transported to Earth-Aleph fic. And then he meets up with and joins Cauldron. Cauldron knows he's not a parahuman, but everyone else thinks he is.

Either Zelretch-did-it, or Cauldron grabs Shiro while collecting specimens for their formula testing. Personally, I like the idea of Cauldron grabbing Shiro when he's injured after one of his battles, then before they give him the formula, he heals enough (thanks to Avalon) to fight back, even helping some of the other grabbed people escape, before being subdued...Which is when Cauldron has a talk with Shiro, and Shiro finds out about Scion, and the danger he represents. (Type-Entity? heh)

Then after Shiro agrees to work with Cauldron, he starts his new work...in Brockton Bay... and oh look, some young bug controlling cape's about to get killed by an enflamed Dragon!

Cauldron's already proven it can keep it's darkest side hidden from even the people higher-up in their organization (read: Legend)...though Shiro WOULD find out eventually. His stance on saving people, and his Understanding of just what that means would really come into play here.

As a side-note, Taylor triggers with UBW could easily work as a Miss Militia bud. Tracing for initial trigger, then fully manifesting UBW after a second trigger.

So... Any takers for an author? Heh.

Firstly, Congratulations... You've finally posted a song that actually fits the chapter.

Secondly, You've slipped up past day or two on spoiler-tagging the vids. Please resume doing so. Thanks.

 

Nope.

It patched the damage to a single city's sewer mains. It didn't handle the smaller pipes. And it sure as hell didn't do the water supply plumbing at all. Except in the tree house. Which supplied water extracted from the sewers. Which was why Lisa wouldn't use the water there.

Also: part of the whole "We're Empresses now!" means not exercising their powers on American soil any more than absolutely needed (re: Class S Threats). The embassy itself being something of an exception because, well, laws are weird when it comes to those. The part where Taylor was no longer monitoring Brockton Bay was kind of a hint in that regard.

 

You can't keep everybody happy,but thanks anyway if you have any thoughts of what songs really should have been used I'm happy to hear it.

 

PHO has a list of Victoria Facts, stickied in the Pantheon forum. The list is maintained and updated entirely by Victoria. Dragon thinks it is hilarious, and refuses to take it down.

 

She should think herself lucky they don't act the way I thought they'd act. But yeah, that kind of sucks for her. Maybe Riley could help?

 

Poor girl probably triggered when her GM "rocks fall"-ed her character.

 

Having read nothing but omake all day, it is really hard to grok this chapter as canon. I'm still taking it as a sign that it is big progress at least until I can sleep on it.

Just gonna note that I brought this up ages ago.

Woo, contract fulfilled! Getting Mom to file lawsuits has been getting tedious.

Sad thing is that if it weren't forced on her, I bet she'd find the flowery language to be a fun shtick.

 

Oh man, that must have been some Gallant flashbacks for Victoria...

 

Not for the chapter, but I got your theme song:

Spoiler: Snake/Eater's theme

Spoiler: alternate theme

Too bad in modern times a hospice is where you go to die...

 

We don't know that they don't know that.

She's going to start the new S9!

... which, considering who she's working with, might be both the worst idea and shortest career in many years.

 

Not as big of an impediment as you might think, Beth.

I wonder if one of the more perceptive team members will key to her embarrassment and suggest a trip down brain machine lane to edit her subconscious. You know, just to make them look like real animals instead of cartoons.

 

Next endbringer fight.

Beth
Soooo... retooled my subconscious after the last endbringer. I don't do unicorns and knights anymore. They just aren't that effective.

Amalia
Ok, what do you make now?

Beth
Giant robots. Giant robots with planet busting antimater lasers. Let's see how effective they are NOW!

 

Wouldn't work. They'd have to rewrite her Passenger. And if they could do that... there wouldn't be a lot of problems left to solve...

 

FTFY

Riley: "Ok Lily, we're going to need you to grab this and use your power on it and aim really carefully..."
Beth: I don't care if it kills me, totally worth it.

Hmm, Amelia might be capable of jostling the passenger's connection to the host so that it 'updates', though any potential downsides are pretty hard to overcome.

Edit: TanaNari, don't read my posts until I've finished typing them properly! Use your psychic powers to figure out when I'm finished.

 

With the clone tech, they could make a clone with a slightly altered memory of the trigger event, which would alter how the power is expressed.
But it wouldn't be Beth, but 99% real/ 1% fake memories Beth. And the original would still be walking around as well.
So possible: Yes. Moral: Probably not.
So Pantheon wouldn't do it, but Cauldron totally would.
Does Cauldron have a copy of the cloning tech, and if they do, are they making copies of powerful capes with altered memories then using Slug to wipe their memories?

 

what your describing sounds like a computer patch,this would just proves my earlier post that Pantheon are now Cylons,if they can do that then they're a....bunch of Fraking toasters.

If they do.....then they can do every horribly evil idea i ever mentioned,like creating a clone cyborg army of Khepri!Butchers,living lobotomized powered clone armor,human/endbringer hybrids......oh oh god.to quote the 9th Doctor "RUN"

edit.

 

No, what I'm describing sounds like canon.

No it doesn't, and that sounds like a remarkably incorrect post.

I don't believe Pantheon has given it out to anyone at all, other then as an offer of service to those who can benefit from it.

 

Dragon has the blueprints, at least.

And Cauldron has Saint. Also Contessa.

 

It could really be argued either way. There was a week long period where they were outside of Taylia's anti-precog shadow, so Contessa totally could have gotten her well manicured paws on it.

edit: I really need to stop being imped by the author. YOU SAID SHE WAS DEAD, TANANARI! Leave Aisha's corpse alone.

 

I imagine that Riley would suggest a mind transfer into a non-matched clone and see if they could induce a re-trigger for both Science and Happiness, then not understanding the looks of horror the others are giving her.

 

then their were those times when Amelia or Taylor were dead,they could have blood samples of most of pantheon they can even have copies of the memories,Contessa could have done a path to Butcher and took a sample they missed.if you can think it Cauldron can do it all and bake some cookies while they're at it.

 

Does Cauldron have a Clone!Bonesaw making Clone!EndSlayers to be ready for when Zion!The Warrior, finally snaps.

Why would Cauldron have a clone of Riley?
When given access to the C!Vials, Riley was about to create a powerful tinker-trump(Emma)
Riley has the knowledge to make hybrid capes like Murder Rat.
PtV can create a list perfect list

So if the Final Battle happens and there are suddenly 100 copies of the more powerful capes suddenly being ported over by Doormaker portals, then the only that that pushes my SOD, is why didn't they use them sooner for the Endbringers.

How would Riley react to the Clone!Bonesaw, since the clone would be closer in morality to Bonesaw than Riley's current mindset, from working with Cauldron.

Are my ideas insane?

What are in the C!Vials that contain a "foreign agent" that Doctor Mother had, that never got used or was ever mentioned again?

What is Grue up to? If Rune was able to enter Avalon, would Shadow Stalker as well?

What is going on the post-Khonsu Birdcage?

I think both Amelia and Taylor would prefer white dresses instead of a dress and a tux or two tuxes for the wedding.

 

Firstly: You missed an excellent opportunity to call her Clonesaw.

Secondly: If TanaNari goes down the Cauldron Clone route, I could easily see them not bringing out the army of cloned capes during the Endbringer fights because a) that blows the lid off the cauldron, and b) you can't have a secret weapon when you go and use it willy nilly.

I have no idea what foreign agent you're talking about. Refresher, plx?

 

100 would be too low,they would be in the ballpark of say... a 100 thousand per copy if they have the copy of the blueprints of resurrectionTech.their are 14 members of pantheon that would make at least 1.4 million when they have a small industrial system for it,if they are using a unused world then........the numbers of clones would be higher.
