    I think Taylor's big problem is going to be that she is a tinker. There is one step removed between Taylor triggering and lashing out. She had to run off and build something, it implies more intent than just mind controlling a block of people by instinct after triggering.

    Depending on the final tally... you just might get an interlude...

    It's more like: "Oh Noes, she looks like the Simurgh, is an easy scapegoat to 'make and example' of rogues to don't want to be Protectorate affiliates, and is too independent to easily strong-arm.
    Again, it's more like: "Oh, hey, this kid is one, a tinker; two, just as she can make master/stranger tech, she can probably cobble together some anti-master tech; three, we can strong arm her easily as she's a stupid kid; four, this is Brockton-shithole-Bay and we're desperate for 'volunteer' Wards."

    If that's an offer for a reroll, I think I'll bow out and let someone else do it...dice are not kind to me outside my own threads.

    I kinda want to see what happens to someone who admits to killing probably ten to a hundred people with a master ability even if it's from a tinker device (accidentally, right? Too bad nobody has a lie detector...).

    Please note that this was set off in a club with modern music... and whose effect extends for 1 block radius.

    This is not just a few people affected.

    That is literally the worst possible result, given that a one would have given us a reroll...

    There weren't many survivors, were there? Well, that or Taylor gets kidnapped by Coil or something.

    "It's my fault. All of it my fault."

    The girl's voice was tortured and full of self loathing. Her emotions was positively almost a physical aura that filled the room as she looked down at the glass of water and not at the tape recorder, nor the PRT agent behind the transparent aluminum partition.

    "It's alright, Miss Dallon... why don't you explain how it's all your fault," The PRT agent spoke loudly and clearly, so that the tape recorder as he struggled to look at the blonde and not retreat out of the room.

    The blonde cape continued to speak, to explain how her aura power had to have clearly gone out of control and caused the riot in the club.

    Meanwhile in an office, a few levels higher than the interview rooms...

    "And she's what... the sixth parahuman claiming responsibility?" Director Piggot sighed as she rubbed at her forehead as she looked at the recording taken of the interviews.

    "Exactly." Armsmaster's voice was clipped and professional and conveyed his feelings on the matter. "It's clear that whoever was responsible for this included a memetic program in the effect to make those who can justify it to claim some measure of guilt."

    "I assume that we'll note that we're investigating the cause of the... riot and that it's an unknown villain at present?" Miss Militia's comment carried a hint of her opinion on covering this up.

    Piggot's look at Miss Militia indicated her unhappiness. "Hannah, unless you wish to throw Canary, Glory Girl, and a number of parahumans who were in their civilian identities to the wolves who are demanding answers and someone guilty."

    "I'm not, it just doesn't feel right to not do anything."

    - - - ​

    A week later, you're finally released after numerous Master and Stranger tests were done on you and the others who were at the club and had admitted to being guilty of causing everything.

    You had to admit that you were surprised that Glory Girl, Canary and a few other capes had been present. Even if a few of them were detained for other misdeeds... like being a villain.

    Still, you're glad to see your dad waiting for you outside of the PRT building. Standing beside him is an all too familiar redhead.

    I don't know what is happening. But we did get the worst possible roll, so I'm saying 4th endbringer.

    *Looks speculatively at the old Hypnos Story threads*

    ...Nah.

    ...but, yeah, I have no idea what just happened. I mean, theoretically, it *was* us...at least I think so. Maybe...some kind of knock-on effect? Amplification of Glory Girl's Aura, Canary's voice, and a half-dozen other Master effects?

    ...or a legitimate third party psycho who just coincidentally happened to think whipping a crowd into a murderous frenzy was a good idea was wandering by?

    Maybe the tinker specialty isn't mind-control but rather a Trump based on that connects powers to preform tasks? It would fit the theme of QA.

    If we're going out on wild theories, I propose that Taylor is now Tinker Eidolon. She gets random Tinker powers to solve her problems.

    If she is a Trump Tinker or something of the sort, then she better hope that the subliminal backdoor she put in the trio holds, because it's not something she can easily replicate...

    It's interesting that the winning vote was "During the interview, confess to being responsible." , but the effect was that EVERY OTHER MASTER IN TOWN confessed to being responsible during their interviews, while YOU DIDN'T.

    We should maybe keep that in mind when we do our write-ins.

    Did EVERYONE in the club confess, then? Because if the only people who "confessed" were parahumans with Master ratings (who could somehow justify it) and ONE civilian (who may or may not have claimed to be a newly-triggered Tinker) then Taylor's secret identity is already out.
