Well, I don't think that people understand: Taylor's thing is Subspace Commutications. Gravity tech? Superconductors? Reverse-engineering Tinkertech?
Just shinies she picked on the sides of Her Great Walk to Unknown.
I can't wait for heart attacks when it is learned that everything world-shattering breakthrough she produced are merely important, but inconsequential to her side effects of her actual research.

How about "Silver Iron Schnauzer"? Literally the first thing out of the generator for me...
Because her time is wasted leading us idiots when she can be inventing things.
I am for when Taylor makes her "Aliens exist and I have been learning from them" announcement.
Yup. She has no time to lead people when she has SCIENCE! to do.

Don't feel that badly, Amy, as properly applied snarkiness can be a godlike power itself.

I keep picturing a crossover, where "Sauriel" shows Genius!Taylor "Family Math".
"So you see, you can do some really interesting things with this type of math!"
"I see! But, you know...you really aren't putting it to its full potential. There's a lot of cool aspects of this math you haven't even touched on. And look at this! This part is just wrong. You need to..."
**Three days latter Sauriel is standing on the Moon looking at an Earth that is knotted into a gigantic multidimensional pretzel.**
"Perhaps you should have taken the matter of introducing 'Family Math' a bit more slowly, Brain."
"OK, maybe...still, she was right. This is pretty cool."

Whole "Learning from aliens" phase is already over.

This would, of course, require Contessa to be capable of running a path leading to this point. Which as I recall, she can't do because Brockton Bay in it's entirity has become a blind spot..

When Broktonbay is in danger Taylor and Amy combine their powers and turn into the Snarky Giant.
Shatterbird announces the arrival of the Nine.Amy jumps on Taylors shoulder."By our powers combined. We are the Snarky giant.To the snarkmobil there are evildoers to snark"
A hour later.Vicky a.k.a. Snarkmobil: "I can not believe that you snarked Jack Slash into surrender and that Crawler was that much intimidated by your size that he fled and i was there."

Well its always nice to wake up to updates!
But yeah I like this chapter since it both builds that Taylor is poking at the portal and subspace to find out more as well as poking at tinker tech figuring it out and doing it better than the jury rig engineers. To add to this DARPA is throwing open the old family trunks including from when they were ARPA and being like kids on Christmas when they find something they can now build.
Heck as has been pointed out I think most of the big NATO nations like Germany, France, UK, Canada ectra do have projects that were selved when the tech becomes more general they will be busting open their own old cardboard boxes to see what is now practical as will various private companies when the trickle down happens.
Also like how the various reasons of why the PRT can't legally get involved are put up as well as explaining so other fundamentals which tend to slip through the cracks in worm fanfics from time to time. I also liked how it laid out various trends and included examples of possible court actions against the PRT.
We also ended with pasta and friends which is always good.

Anyone up for spitballing those shelved tinker devices DARPA might have laying around from back when they still hoped they could reverse engineer them? Force fields are likely, and possibly teleporters... fusion reactors or some other method of obscenely efficient method of power generation? Anyone else have an idea?

TBH I know this seems like an odd one but I'd like to see if tinker tech could develop a more efficient gas turbines. Mainly because they are fuel hogs but they can generate a stupid amount of power I was wondering if it could be improved make it need less fuel but still get the same amount of power.
As for other sources Fusion would be ideal though I'd like to see her skip straight to cold fusion if possible. Heck some efficient and practical energy cells and batteries would be a god send in so many places and sectors for power and heating.
Failing that practical power armour and exoskeletons for use in heavy industry, construction and salvage work as well as the obvious military applications.

Well... this was a triumph, and more's on the way. And let me make a note here: the government's decision to put their money behind Taylor will ultimately be a HUGE success; it'll be hard to overstate their satisfaction (not to mention ours, here, outside the wall) when those investments pay off. Hell, it already IS paying off, and Taylor doing SCIENCE 3 (trademark and patent pending) doing what she must, because she can understand the underlying principles behind tinkertech, will only prove to be to to humanity's benefit. Well, probably except those that would've put humanity at peril, immediate or otherwise.

Tony only wishes he could be half as good as Taylor, and that's a QA Fact.

Just out of interest, was that intentional?
Whatever, lets just hope that Taylor can stay alive through the backlash.

Given the amount and layers of protection they have around her I'd be more worried about the people trying to get to her.

*rereads post*
... Quoting Batmetal Forever (again): "Well, shit."
No, it wasn't intentional... let's just chalk that up to Simmy being Simmy.

Taylor's reached the point where she's Distance Learning by osmosis. That's fine. After all, she's got lots of hands-on things to play with at the moment to really pay attention to the lectures. But, I expect things to start getting weird(er) if she starts using Salarian technobabble in casual conversation.

Wait does this mean she will end up performing Gilbert and Sullivan?

Gilbert and Sullivan (Gill, Bӕrt and Salaman) is far superior in my opinion when performed in the original Salarian, just like Hamlet is better in Klingon.
