"They couldn't come up with a nonferrous needle?"
Did you write this before or after the comments from yesterday?
I thought it was in reference to her father and brother dying, but your interpretation works decently as well.
Grayven is such a dick, I've never seen a bigger dick.
It's all in proportion.
And your team mates faith in the judgement of their superiors.
Team mates'

It seemed to be something he noticed while scanning her. And the way the nurses responded to "Does she know?" without even asking for clarification from the guy who they knew had just been working on her also implied it was something physical & medical about her.

EDIT: Something medical that he didn't try to fix, nor did they seem to expect him to. That sounds like a pregnancy to me.

.....I just thought of something Grayven could look into. Instead of a collar that NULLIFIES powers, one that AMPLIFIES the powers instead. They'd all probably be custom but considering he goes for the best stuff for "his people", it makes sense to have at least a partial eye on it for him.

Grayven uses Awakening for that task. Why depend on machinery to fake what can be done to one's very definition?
 
I grin. "Someday, and that day may never come… I'll call upon you to do a service for me."
Well.
I don't know why, but this sounds like a quote from something.
And if it isn't it's going to be...
Well...
So... I can't help but feel compelled to point out that the Godfather quote ends with the Godfather saying the petitioner will owe him a favor later.
I feel vindicated.

Could Wallace simply appropriate one of those power nullifier collars? Or would her magnetic abilities break it?
Even if it wouldn't it might not occur to him to try that for quite some time, since they are probably firmly categorized under "something for criminals" in his head.

There's no reason to assume they can be reversed that way. And even if they could it's probably beyond his abilities or somebody would have long since done it themselves and there'd be plenty of supervillains toting them around. One of his major limitations is that he isn't actually super-smart or anything, he can only reverse engineer things really well with the ring; he doesn't actually understand the theory behind most schizotech.

Fair enough. Let's move that under "Long-Term Goals".

Edit: Have to remind myself "Not A Quest!"
 
I frown. "They couldn't come up with a nonferrous needle?"

"Not quickly. And with all the blood she's lost an intravenous system might not work properly if they did."
Nonferrous needles have been standard issue in hospitals for a good while...

Without them they couldn't put someone on an IV drip in an MRI.

Heck they even have things like IV infusion pumps that can take up to 10000 Gauss for use in those types of environments.
 
... and thank you, Jamie Roberts, for not suffocating me with my own kidneys...yet.

Is it my imagination, or do new-readers-catching-up-with-the-story-who'd-read-previous-discussions comment on Me off the bat more frequently than they do other posters they would have seen?

I burned my bridges and now I can sleep in them.

According to Google, this string of words has never before been typed on the internet.

I grin. "Someday, and that day may never come… I'll call upon you to do a service for me."

Is it just me, or is Grayven increasingly more relatable than Paul?
 
How? DC doesn't have a convenient, single-source system of metahuman powers. (well, maybe a single-Source, but....)
Yeah, I find that one of the more frustrating parts of the game's worldbuilding. It's relatively easy to engage in a pseudo scientific manner with magic, telepathy, alchemy granted powers, alien racial powers, etc., but metahuman powers are a case by case basis comparatively lacking in explanation.

It's especially frustrating for practical reasons if you want to build some cool gear tailored to one of your metahuman companions, because it can't be easily applied to anyone else.

*Looks back a few chapters, when Grayven had his young impressionable daughter, a teenager with clear mental issues, and a magical former quadripedal alien deal with an unofficial international war sans training to help them handle it, on a pragmatic or emotional level*

Yep.

Well, there are only so many of us that had a part in starting that "is murdering another user a ban-worthy offense?" discussion that wound up getting a thread. Of those involved, I'd argue that you're the most overt.
