Distance Learning for fun and profit...

Lol, getting told how to parent by a government agency, and it might actually turn out better... oh the irony Carol
 
It must be cool to be able to just sick the FBI on your friends mom cause she's being a bitch.

Absolutely deserved and Taylor's shown the maturity to have the ability (I think), but in isolation, the sentence above is absolutely hysterical.
 
That poor doctor: "Here's the holy grail of quantum computing, yes, you can have as many as you like, they are over on that shelf there." Brandon has learned the art of the troll from Taylor and Argus.

The MRI is going to be interesting when its approved to work, and I can't wait to learn more about Taylor's custom-built artificial interface.

It must be cool to be able to just sick the FBI on your friends mom cause she's being a bitch.

Let's be honest, if Taylor wanted her own private city where she could rule as god-king, the US government would be handing it over quick as you please. Getting somebody to talk to the unstable woman who is stressing out one of the worlds best healers, especially one who is in close contact with the prime asset (and thus a priceless resource to keep Taylor alive if something should go wrong) is small potatoes.

A most excellent posting, indeed, although I was expecting Learning!Taylor to reach out across dimensions and get some help from Angry!Taylor, and rain a little DOOM on Carol. The FBI works, though.

And I had someone come and check to make sure I was OK when I started laughing at SpiceBottles and InsufficientVeracity... :)
 
This is the part where I'm supposed to be unhappy at someone for abuse of power, but Taylor's got actual good intentions. Look out for your friends Taylor. Amy needs more than one person in her corner.
 
Carlos looked back at him. "SpiceBottles?"
What you did there, find it funny I do.
"That rumor site. Insufficient Veracity. They're full of that sort of thing.
An equal opportunity picker-on-er!
Carol stared at the pair, then eventually sighed and stepped to the side. Both entered and she closed the door behind them, wondering what the hell was going on and not pleased about the interruption.
Dunn dunn dunnnnnnn! Ten words to shake things up good.
About to ask a question, Amy stopped when Taylor held up a finger. "Hi. It's me. Code Xray Tango Alpha Four. Yes. Thanks."

Carol will soon be somewhere between 'Oh shit' and WTF?'. Can hardly wait. Meanwhile Amy and Vicky are more going to be 'Just who the hell are you Taylor Hebert?

I disagree. If we're going to properly make a cinnamon bomb, we're going to need to use genuine cinnamon. The yield is worth the increase of cost.

Also, in regards to Condiment Quest: would you happen to have any Grey Poupon?

(I don't mean to shit post, I'm just having fun with the SpiceBottles and Insufficient Veracity barbs. In other news, it looks like Taylor has gone to Jupiter and Beyond, and Carrol is going to have... I won't say a bad or unfun day. I'm going to say she's going to have one of those days where adulting is hard but required.)

I am mostly surprised that the neural link thingy didn't end up baking Taylor's mind into mush from the sheer amount of information and such that a shard can transmit in real time.

She's not incautious. The device has a hell of a lot of signal processing capacity and the like to make sure it's safe.

Although it would be a bit of a shock for the vast majority of people even so :)

I'd imagine she built it to the safe limits that a human brain can handle.

Nowhere near full Shard throughput, but enough to be a vast improvement over screens and typing.

"Sounds like a good idea. I love the taste of a good test article." Taylor smiled. "When we're sure it's safe, we can try the rabbit. And if we don't kill the bunny, someone can volunteer to have the first run on a human."

"I like the bunny. Please don't kill the bunny. And we're not eating it after the test," Kyle commented without looking away from where he was delving into the source code of the imaging system. Several people laughed then they got back to work.
...please tell me that Taylor is going to adopt said bunny...

and pet it like a a bad James Bond villain.
Feeling her latest phone vibrate, Taylor slipped it out of her pocket and looked at the screen. Amy, sitting next to her, glanced over at the motion and watched as she quickly tapped a few icons, then used her finger to scribble a number of complex symbols on the program that popped up. Looking at the results she smiled before closing the app and putting the phone away again.

"What the hell are you doing with that thing now?" Amy whispered, while the chemistry teacher was discussing the results of their current practical lesson with a couple of students who seemed to be having difficulty with valency calculations. "And how are you getting a signal in here?"

"Just answering a question from a friend," Taylor replied equally quietly. "The phone blocking isn't perfect if you sit in the right place."

"You and your phone collection," her friend sighed, although she was smiling a little.
Why do I have the feeling that QA was gossiping with Taylor about Shaper?
After several seconds of silence, Taylor said in a faint, awed voice, "Oh, my god, it's full of data..."
Oh God...Taylor now has a direct connection to QA; and I don't know who's loving it more, Taylor or QA.
About to ask a question, Amy stopped when Taylor held up a finger. "Hi. It's me. Code Xray Tango Alpha Four. Yes. Thanks."

She lowered the phone and tapped the screen before putting it away.

Amy and Vicky stared at her, then each other. "Um… what was that?" the latter asked in befuddlement.

Taylor smiled slyly at them. "Stage one," she replied mysteriously. Then she stood up. "More lemonade?"
You know, I'm really curious what "Stage one" is going to involve, how many stages are there, and who's idea were they? Taylor's? Or People from the various organizations watching her? Or a combination of both?
 
Another wonderful verbage of wordz. My only complaint is now that I've read them, I must wait for more. I look forward to next time, when we hopefully get to see Amy and Vicky shown a little bit of what Taylor has been up to.
