I'm wondering how long it's going to be before Alexandria decides that it's time for a black ops raid on Gravtec. After all, it's not like Cauldron really have any problems with breaking the law. She's got her Bogeyman, she's indestructible, and they have portals. Given her tunnel vision, I'm certain she's capable of talking herself into believing that she can get away with it if only she can go in and find the evidence of Parahuman involvement or, better yet, the actual Parahuman involved.

Her bogeyman doesn't work in Brockton Bay, and she's not 100% indestructible (hence the missing eye). Meanwhile, GravTech created the basis for the weapon that killed both Crawler and the Siberian (who was indestructible).

That's not even taking into account the stuff that she doesn't know about, such as the sensors that can detect both portals and parahumans, and constantly log all activity in the bay in a manner that allows Taylor to rewind and examine it at leisure.
 
Also, Cauldron, including David, has basically said "Not our problem" in regards to Gravtec. RCB is the only one really stuck on them, and it's starting to look like she is a non-entity at this point in the timeline.
 
Said "bogeyman" can't operate in BB anymore, I think. Didn't Contessa mention that most of Brockton Bay has become a blank spot for her? If that's the case, then she'd be less then useless due to being unable to Path anything involving that geographical area. That includes Paths for infiltrating, stealing information from, then exfiltrating Gravtech. And as was revealed, this is because QA has decided that Best Non-Host provides The Best Data Ever, and actively shuts down all attempts by precog shards to do anything that might mess with Best Non-Host. Which does nicely explain how the FBI was able to nab Coil so easily. QA also shut down the Endbringers, turning Ziz into a glorified wifi router.

And after contact was made with Best Non-Host, together they actually shut down the Endbringers. As well as that pesky Conflict Drive (via a software patch to Shard OS that Zion has probably not noticed).
 
I think that's in part why Carol and Costa-Brown are getting so worked up over things. For Costa-Brown all of a sudden the number of crisis at any given moment have plummeted, and she has no idea why. Even worse, her co-conspirators have suddenly started to relax. David is joking around rather then obsessing about proving himself and strengthening his waning powers, Contessa is actually taking time to be herself and have fun, Kurt Wyn has developed a sense of humor, and Legend has calmed down even further. And she has no idea why, but is sure that Gravtech must somehow be behind it. Hell, Contessa has admitted the entire city has become a blind spot, and nobody seems to care!

For Carol, the city that had been one minor mishap away from all out war for the last 15 years... has suddenly become peaceful. The ABB are keeping their heads down, the E88 are keeping an even lower profile (Breadroll doesn't want his head to be ventilated without a second warning), the Merchants have bizzarely become a non-issue, and even Coil's mercenaries have fallen off the radar. Oh, and that up and coming group (the Undersiders) has up and vanished. Her husband has started to recover. Amy has began to actually live her life sensibly rather then spending nearly 24/7 at hospitals healing everyone within range of being touched by her. And she has no idea why this has suddenly happened. But it's triggering all her control freak tendencies.

Which is a bit of a waste. If you have access to one of the most powerful precogs in this instance of Earth, you should probably also use her as a security system.

...I feel like I'm going to feel very silly in a moment, but Breadroll? Where the fuck did that come from as a nickname for Kaiser?

I presume that it comes from the fact that a Kaiser roll, also known as a Vienna roll, is a type of stereotypical Austrian bread roll.

It's an insult, cause he's clearly soft in the head.

EDIT:
I hadn't actually known the history of the kaiser roll. But they are delicious.

You know, I'm going to be highly amused if/when Queen Administrator turns Taylor immortal, as the STG are going to turn her into a long term 'Training Exercise', you do realize this, right?

They'll send MULTIPLE teams at odd intervals just to pick up tidbits that's she left (with amusement dancing in those eyes of hers) scattered in her personal research bases. Granted, those teams WILL be the most non-lethally armed ever seen (no killing means the Taylor stays amused at the need Salarians seem to have to snitch what might be given otherwise), and the STG high-ups don't have to worry about replacing as many agents (or end up triggering wars with a VERY highly advanced species that seems to believe re-writing SCIENCE every week is the NORM....

Especially since Taylor is the source of so much [DATA] that QA is on her desolate Earth drooling(with a mouth she made specifically so that she could drool), QA is probably spending half her time trying to find a way to make sure nothing could ever hurt the source of so much delicious [DATA].

Carol is clearly not even slightly rational when it comes to Amy. For instance, how she was complaining to Sarah that Amy wanted to (horror of horrors) take a day off from healing! Which complaint she prefaced about her spending all her time at the hospital (and since the FBI noted she was spending on average 62 hours a week there, when apparently New Wave had agreed on 20). Carol has so many issues with Amy that it's literally impossible for Amy to ever earn Carol's actual respect.

That's an SG-team.

Using a standing-wave version of the teleport, even pausing to admire the shimmer.


I'm guessing both Taylor and the General took some cues from her experience in the SGC on how to handle this sort of op. It's ambiguous of course, but it'd make sense.
