    You do realize that the likely end result of result of relying Emma's father is going to be him using Taylor's Tinker spec of Mind Influencing items as justification that everything that has happened is because we have been mind controlling his poor innocent daughter since the very beginning. There's no evidence against it and no way to know Taylor only just triggered.

    Why did Taylor have Emma act against her? Who knows, she always was a little strange. Maybe she liked it?

    He's a divorce lawyer he know enough strange things to use as justification that it is all Taylor's fault and with him acting against her I wouldn't like the chances of the PRT dropping Taylor to snag Sophia since as it stands she's a nightmare power for them, like Canary on meth.

    Best chance here is to let it come out that she was virtually a slave and she only just triggered in an attempt to escape her situation.

    Why? He vouched for Sophia after she was caught nearly killing a guy and she was a vilgilante who had done so before.

    Unless my memory of canon is fuzzy or it's different in this quest, Alan still thinks we're best friends with
    Emma like they were for years. Unless Alan is told specifically to throw us under the bus. He probably won't. Especially since we can make Emma listen to us and thus tell her dad to actually help us.

    Also Armsmaster has a lie detector. If it turned into "he said, she said" he would know we're telling the truth.

    Alan vouched for Sophia because he had interaction with her in a positive light and even if she had lost her case then there would have been little to no backlash against Emma.

    In this case Emma would be found guilty of Enslavement, Assault, and a host of other charges....unless it was all Taylor's fault for using faulty mind controlling gear on her. It wouldn't take much investigation to discover Emma's actions, she's not up to Moriarty or Coil's level of scheming so throwing Taylor under the bus would be just fine with him if it gets Emma off.

    He's going to be called in anyway since Emma is involved, this vote is about Taylor's actions and if she chooses to listen to him them it's fairly likely that he will coach her into sacrificing herself to save Emma.

    Armsmaster's Lie detector was new at the start of canon, easily several months from now.

    I'm not liking this quest all that much not just because of how it started but also due to how spineless this Taylor is at this point. I'm hoping to turn it around here but there is still a decent chance that Taylor will just be shipped off, Emma gets put into intensive therapy and this becomes Sophia Quest since she'll be railroaded into the Wards and thus the only one free and doing something interesting.

    Hmm point.

    Well I don't mind either way and I'm curious to see how confessing goes.

    The problem is that this is pre-skitter Taylor. She has no spine anymore it was removed a painfully bit by bit. She needs to grow a new one first and she hasn't gotten a chance to do so yet.

    You have to really mess up to get caged from the get go as a confessing tinker. I think. I mean Canary had a scary history of being voice master singer.

    We're probably just going to disappear into therapy or a cauldron. Lab where in our stuff is used to wrangle s classes. While we play with our pet doms.

    She did use her Master ability. On her boyfriend. Which is how everybody found out she had a master ability.

    "oh noes. She used her ability on one person. We should totally send her to the Bird Cage for it."

    "oh hey, this person used master abilities on a hundred men/women. We should totally let her off on it."

    Taylor isn't as pretty as the Simurgh.

    That was the real reason Paige got it so hard.

    That said, Cauldron will likely pick her up before letting her in the cage.

    Exactly too many similarities with Ziz and the fact she was a famous singer with powers that were voice based.

    Taylor being a new trigger, not a national celebrity, no multiple similarities to a fucking endbringer, this being an accident and Taylor possibly being recruited into the wards means things will probably go better for her. Especially if it's never publicly revealed she did this.

    I mean a tinker who specializes in mind control. That shit is too good especially in a place like Brockton Bay where the heroes are so outgunned.

    Hell Coil will be salivating in both timelines once he learns of this. He gets his hands on Taylor and his plan to control BB becomes a lot easier.

    Assuming Caludron doesn't take her for themselves so she can do things like mind control that army of Case 53s who hates their guts.
