New chicken avvie?

Just a note, mobile users can't generally see signatures, so if you really don't want them on your posts you'd be better off making it your personal title than your signature. Totally your choice, but that would make it visible to everyone vs. only desktop users.

The other reason I want to steer the story towards the Birdcage is for the PRT to have a moment of realization on how much they fucked up by sending Taylor to the birdcage, because it basically means that they played all their cards, and there's nothing else they can use as a bargaining chip to get her to hold back. That's one of the only ways I can see Taylor being comfortable starting to build a bio-titan.

I really like Dragon as a character, so the chance for her to "follow orders" to the letter by imprisoning Taylor, while not telling the PRT that it's not really going to help much is just too good to pass up. Plus, then I get to use Teacher to find Saint, to help Dragon. There aren't many ways to help Dragon that don't end up in tears otherwise (because Ascalon.)

Ah, I see. I largely have the same view (the Birdcage is an abomination of "Justice"). I don't think you'll have to worry about me portraying the Birdcage as a just or reasonable response. One of the reasons I want the plot to go there is to get some of the interesting interactions with Dragon that Canary got in cannon.

I don't want to clutter up the thread, but I am curious what aspect of the Birdcage bothers you. I'm willing to bet that the situation I'm planning won't be like (the vast majority of) other Birdcage fics. The PRT will destroy the bases they know about, but miss a couple, and Taylor will be just fine with parking one body in the Birdcage to continue to operate out in the bay with most of her resources.

What I don't get is why you continue to read Ring-Maker, given your unshakable opposition to its premise and plot arc.
