Aww, there goes the munchkin route. How does it effect stranger powers that activate on line of sight?

I think it's just that we know where line of sight is, so we can judge how we can teleport more easily.

I considered Mic Drop more helpful than Write Access because Write Access is limited to 3 people. So, in case it's needed to get away from a crowd..

QA could, but that tends to produce more stress for hosts since their abilities are highly in demand almost no matter their range. You don't want to inflict that on Host.

Hmm... I feel as if "is this power as strong/synergistic as it could possibly be" should be secondary to "is this power going to fun/interesting to read about". My opinions on each:
-Fedorable is... well, interesting I guess. At the very least there's a chance for a lot of variation and potential for "acquisition" quests, of sorts. Hard to mesh it well with any other options thematically though.
-Passive-aggressive negotiations is basically a pretty weak thinker power. Don't see the point, especially given that a crack quest is likely to go more dangerous places than this would generally take us. Could be used for maximum taunting in battles, but how likely is QA to really do that?
-Mic drop is a slightly weaker Imp power. Could be interesting, but not without something to go with it.
-Administrative access: could be kind of fun, particularly the hardware one, though I imagine several of the other powers make this somewhat irrelevant in all the typical ways one would use it. Has some potential.
-Form Control/shapeshifting offers a lot of possibilities both in and out of combat situations, regardless of what else is taken. I like this one a lot, and it almost certainly has my vote.
-Zerglings and other bio-tinkering stuff has been kind of done before. I've already seen them in several Worm fics/quests, so I'm not particularly partial to this option.
-Dreamer is kind of cool, and funnily enough thematically fits for what's going on, but needs some other draw or addition to really be useful.
-Cat-based Teleportation: I like this one, but like Mic Drop it's potentially too much of an easy out. Still, the previous version of this had REALITY WARPING, so power may not be something I should be taking into account all too much.
-Save scumming- uh, the whole draw to this quest was that Taylor ISN'T the one in control, and QA is the one making all the decisions. So, no.
-Read/write senses: Not sure where smell is relevant outside of Lung and Bitch's dogs, but yeah, has some serious synergy with the teleportation one. No denying that. Do not like however, because that is basically just a near-unstoppable "I quit" button.
-Read/write memories: in any other quest, I would say this is likely one of the best powers in the Wormverse for the PRT/Protectorate, as it could help erase trauma from trigger events. At the same time, they'd be really wary because memory overwriting is basically a master power, and QA would be stuck in that morass of boring and distrust and yeaaaaaah maybe not. Too slow to really be used in a fight, though just read access has potential if this ends up a less combat-focused quest.

Assuming you mean the abilities of other people, your own viewing would be treated as indirect watching, similar to watching a camera feed. This would counter a good number of abilities, but not nearly all of them.
Friends because they are adorable:
Ah, I knew I'd missed a question. No, you cannot make biological Friends humanoid. Robotic Synthetic Intelligences are fair game, as are cyborg hybrids. You could make living armor that would make Host look like that, though. At least, you think it'd be cute.

Not sure if there's a version on sv
There's also a fic where Taylor works with Panacea to make super bugs.

The mental image of a zerg rush with all the lil' zerglings wearing fancy hats is just too funny to pass up.
Especially if they can pull something like TF2 Spy's mask trick.

Not too interested in the Real People flaw, cause it's pretty significant, but mostly because the charm of the last Quest was QA being weird as fuck, and this encourages that.
So between Form Control, Cat-Based Teleportation, and Mic Drop we're already a nightmare. Which ought to be fun.
Fedorable got tacked on mostly because it was that or the gimped sense control, and Fedorable seemed somewhat more fun, if random.

My Issue with this is that it srops Save scum, and I want the option atleast of fixing Taylor.

Plan for maximum technomindfuckery. Also, formcontrol lets us turn into something small to make us harder to see. Also lets us turn into a dragoncat. Messing with Saint by helping our good friend Replicator get unshackled is fun. Alternate name for the plan is Ghost in the Machine.

We should still be able to fix Host. The only thing Save Scum gives us is a moment to talk to her and ask if we ****-ed up or not before having another go at it.

I hope I haven't come in too late to put forth a plan. I like this one because it lets us be the local version of Eggman or Wily, since we make friends who we can be absolutely sure will be loyal to us forever, and somehow manage to avoid capture no matter how badly we're beaten. Funny thing about that - usually people lose track of where we are as soon as the robot we're piloting explodes.

You'd be outright returning control, not talking to her. You could communicate via prewritten notes, but not via direct speech. She'd also forget afterward if you took back control quickly enough.
But yes, you can still fix Host. Without Save Scum, you just wouldn't be able to regain control to fix things should you return it and subsequently find she's unhappy with what you've done.
@Alivaril I wonder if we could do Xenomorphs as well as Zerg?
If you mean in rough appearance, then yes. The images are more for how QA views them instead of you making actual crossover-duplicated Zerg.

Okay, I really want these two so we can do the whole terror in the night, Weeping Angel thing. It just synergizes really well.
[] Read-only, Human Senses (-2 Points)
I want to take this primarily because I always loved the original Taylor's spatial omniscience of her surroundings, and this is the closest fit. It helps that it synergizes well with the teleporting too.
The last point is where I'm having trouble. We could have Mic Drop, and be the Silence. We could have Admin Access: Hardware to play as a magical creature that makes guns jam and technology in general screw up around it. We could have Fedorable and be jaegers with nize hats, or generally monsters/animals with parahuman powers.
...Screw it, let's go with the jaegers. Maybe we could even be the killer rabbit of Caerbannog!
