    Something to probably change: BB has no ferry, that's why Danny fights for it to run again. Instead Heroes have a forcefield bridge which is so much cooler. And great from security standpoint too.

    Do you have a citation for that?

    I don't recall (and haven't been able to find) any reference in the original work to how anybody who couldn't fly got on or off the rig. It's actually something that's been bothering me about worm fanfiction for years.

    For example from Agitation 3.4:
    AFAICT that's about as long a PHQ description as you can find in Worm, and no mention of any sort of bridge, ferry, helicopter, hovercraft or colony of mutant capybaras.

    I've always assumed that some fanfiction authors had, through fanciful whimsy (or just poor reading comprehension), decided that oil rig was "floating" in the sense of "hovering" and then invented a forcefield bridge as a means of getting on and off of an inexplicably-hovering watercraft.

    I'm pretty sure it's WOG. I'll go check for it.

    EDIT: Ok, can't find it, but found a thread of common misconceptions and forcefield bridge was one of them so... ooops? Sorry guys.

    So we're still clear to have canon-compliant mutant capybara's in this story then? Excellent!

    OK, forcefield bridge it is I guess. Good to know, but still...

    O Rly? Let's get a rank E in maths then a rank C in piano and play him some pi. Which will surely be the quest that allows you to hit rank B in Piano.
