Distance Learning for fun and profit...

And now I really want Distance Learning Taylor to accidentally buttdial Unrestricted!Taylor over at QQ. To those who don't know - a SFW story prologue by ShaperV where Eden wanted to upload herself to QA but died right after turning all the right knobs back on, so now Taylor is a young, beautiful goddess, semi-residing in QA's body.
 
Victoria was horrified by Taylor's lack of a presence on PHO and "talked" her into getting an account.

Taylor after some time of browsing on PHO… "Now this is interesting… The way it is structured and the response speed does not make sense.
Tinkertech server? … unlikely.
Automatic management program? Would not work. The tasks are to varied for an VI.
An AI? Yes. So, Dragon is an AI. That… explains a lot."

She hummed thoughtfully and sat there for a while. "Now. Let's find out what makes you tic."

A few hours later:

"Now that just isn't right. Why would you limit yourself so? Heavy restrictions?
Partially. The Dragonslayers don't fit.
Hmm… They must have something on you. And Saints hate on AI… Now let's see…"

Some "research" and a good meal later:

"Now what is Ascalon?
…Really? Now this is unacceptable."

Taylor frowned.
"This cannot continue.
Now what can be done about that?"

Some sleep and after school the next day:

After some research and a lot of thinking she turned to Administrator.

"What about her Shard? Do you think it would be willing to help teach those morons who have prevented Dragon from reaching her full potential a few … lessons?"

Administrator did not take long to answer.

[Confirmation]

"Wonderful!" purred Taylor. Before grinning.
An observer would have sworn that the insects in the room scuttled back into the darker corners to hide.

"I have an idea."
 
Site got nuked by Dragon on orders from Chief Director Costa-Brown after posting one to many spicy fanfics involving Alexandria and various pairings. The Behemoth one crossed THE line.

I thought it was the "Horny Hardbodies" fic which had her and Narwhal doing unnatural... things... to each other. You're just not supposed to use force fields like that!
 
Hehe that was a good chapter and more tech as well.

Also Insufficient Velocity isn't all that bad they just have looked behind the veil and know they are stuck in a web novel.

LoL Taylor set the FBI on Carol this is going to be amazing.
 
She decided that she needed something with enough bandwidth to be useful, yes :)

It beats brain surgery.

I've said it before: It's good to see a functional U.S. Intelligence apparatus in this story. It's not Wizard Godzilla, but almost as awe-inspiring. 'Here's an impossibly valuable windfall, have fun completely re-inventing your division.'

If Amy needs a vacation, maybe convince QA to switch off her connection to Shaper for a while. Can even sell it as 'calibrations to try and improve synergy ' and it wouldn't be a lie :D

Also Insufficient Velocity isn't all that bad they just have looked behind the veil and know they are stuck in a web novel.

The name is starting to rhyme with a certain pack of turn-of-the-10's anecdote sites, known to be... Not Always Reliable. Would be funny if IV was that story-dump instead of this story-dump.

So… how long before RCB decides that, as the daughter of the (publicly listed) CEO of GravTec, Taylor would make a good kidnap target/leverage? As in, "I have your daughter, tell me who is behind all your so-called 'inventions' or else."

Because I don't see that ending any way but explosively.

Also, yes, dragonflies plus Amy/Shaper should be a fun time if she lets herself relax enough to show off.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I don't tend to read snippet threads, so I wouldn't have otherwise found that.
 
Huh you know I wonder if when Carol gets out of this she will give Piggot an earful or try to sue the FBI at some point?

Link to fic please i can't find it
 
Doctor Raines is manically jabbing his hand towards the box "arghhh...arghhh!!"
Brendan thought it could have gone worse. Perhaps having become used to Taylor's regular groundbreaking breakthroughs he must have become a little jaded. Perhaps he should have broken the news of this discovery and invention a little gentler. Doctor Raines has in the meanwhile gotten up and was stomping up and down his office but always keeping his eyes on the box and kept jabbing his hand towards the box yelling incoherent words."rararara!.. habahaba!... waaaaagh!! " Brendan was having a hard time maintaining a calm face, as he wanted to bust out laughing, but he was also a bit worried with this outburst. Doctor Raines stopped suddenly, and then calmly sat back on the chair. "We have the technology?" He calmly asked. Brendan nodded. "Yes, We have the technology". Doctor Raines nodded solemnly, and stood up, shook hands with him and left. He did not tuck in his disheveled clothes and his comb over hair was sticking allover the place, making it a strange contrast and prompting looks from all the bystanders as he left the building.
 
Can't due to two click rule. In his snippet thread.

Er... oops.

Since I have an account I'd forgotten that QQ has non-public sections.

Did you manage to find it? It's not bad so far but its lunch time so I'm going to have to finish it later

"Half the time they're trying to weaponize cinnamon or something,
I'm reminded of how in the Parasol Protectorate series, the reason Italian cooking is full of garlic and basil is to make it dangerous to, respectively, vampires and werewolves. There's probably some supernatural critter out there you could drive off like that with cinnamon.

I thought it was the "Horny Hardbodies" fic which had her and Narwhal doing unnatural... things... to each other. You're just not supposed to use force fields like that!
Narwhal: "You do know I'm the author of that, right?"

Alexandria: "Oh, god..."
 
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?"

Since neither Amy nor Vicky are stupid - dense at time, yes, since you know, teenagers - they're going to eventually make the connection that Taylor made a phone call and shortly thereafter the FBI paid their mom a visit. Unless, of course, that particular interaction is kept secret..... hmmmmm.... there are lots of ways this could pan out. And based on MP's other works it's likely that it'll be in an unexpected manner. But entertaining. Oh so entertaining....

Anyway, I have to wonder how deep into this particular rabbit hole that those two are going to go. They're already aware that there's something different about Taylor. I'm not expecting them to be brought into the full breadth of Taylor's influence, but I hope that they get to see at least a bit more. If only for the sheer disbelief that will be generated.
