How can that goo affect Alexandria anyway? Her body is timelocked. To the goo it should be like there is nothing there.

I don't think it is, imo, but it still ate her costume.

Last I heard Panacea had been brought into the Wards after her and GG were caught brutalizing criminals and trying to cover it up. Unless something major is different, I could imagine her being in Sydney healing. Or at least making sure people don't die.
 
The real problem here is how to get him to stop, preferably without attacking him or smashing his machine. Devices record everything right? Maybe try showing him footage of what his cannon did to heroes, and how Leviathan turned it against the defenders. Tell him that unless he has a way for his nanites to not be blown off by water his tech is worse then useless right now. If that doesn't work swap to nonlethal and knock him out.
 
Swap to nonlethal, ko him, swap back to lethal and get back into the fight.

We don't have time to argue with a desperate idiot who was only just over the bar of smart enough to not cause a grey-goo scenario. But not over the one of making sure to *exclude organic matter*.

If Leviathan fits to his normal pattern he should start retreating about now. This is more injured than the endbringers usually get before running.

I like this plan. Anyone want to formalize it?
 
Why avoid smashing the machine? Those nanites are useless against the endbringers. Remember all Endbringer behavior is an affection, not their actual feelings towards things. He wasn't reacting in horror because they were actually a threat to him, but because of how that would make the humans watching react. Endbringers are programmed to cause despair. What could cause more than motivating that fool to fire again? If we are going by canon they have a *galaxy* worth of mass to draw from, and obviously the nanites are far, far, far too limited to eat that, otherwise they would be a world-ending grey goo.

Not to mention both Leviathan and Behemoth can easily counter them.

X] Talk Sparky out of attacking again.
-[X]Tell sparky that leviatan has already figured out how to protect himself from the nanites
-[X]Explain that it's targeting the the teleportation beacons, also you can point out that he might be responsible for most of the casualties in this fight
 
[X] Break the cannon. No gun, no problem, and Legend can deal with him after.

He's breaking the rules with Endbringer fights, but his tech could be useful later, so destroy the cannon to stop him for now, that or see if you can replace the shitty targeting system. As for the idiot, lock him up with a ring bind or throw him in dimensional storage for later.
 
I want to officially report Sparky as the Trucebreaker who ruined the plan and killed Alexandria, knock him out, and get back to the fight. Maybe a non-terrible tinker can salvage something out of his cannon.

B) already failed one safety check when it started targeting Organics when it was supposed to target inorganics only.

He didn't fail the safety check. He designed them to go after ANY matter. This way they would avoid any pesky Manton limitations.

Was this Knight a precursor of Knight template?

That's Signum.

If accidental friendly fire was enough to count as Truce Breaking, Calamity Witch would be guilty of that when she took off some people's elbows with her magic in the last update. Of course, the difference is that CW then took pains to avoid it happening again.

Accidental Friendly fire isn't Truce breaking. Continuing to attack when you were just told you're hurting the other capes more than the Endbringer is.

so, we can't just lop him on a empty earth and deal with him later?

Sure you could. That'd be under attacking.

Conveniently, you have a non-terrible Tinker in your little group.
 
If we do break the cannon, we need to be careful doing it so we don't spray grey goo everywhere. Even with a 1 minute time limit that shit is terrifying.
 
Man, if we fired Rafnarok at least we would have let our allies know before fucking everyone over. The rage you're feeling at tinker boy? Could've been how other capes felt about us, even if we tried coordinating better than he did.

I'm of the opinion that tinker boy's precious feefees don't mean jack shit in an EB fight. If he's spent all his time on this dumb cannon, he shouldn't have too many personal defenses. Knock him out and send him away from the fight. The Triumvirate can deal with him later. I'm sure Alexandria will love having the opportunity to give him a talking to (assuming she survives).

We need to plan what we' re doing beyond tinker boy though—if Levi isn't retreating rn we need to keep hitting him. With the teleported down, we can't let the fight drag on any longer.

-[X]Tell sparky that leviathan has already figured out how to protect himself from the nanites.
-[X]Explain that it's targeting the the teleportation beacons, also you can point out that he might be responsible for most of the casualties in this fight as Leviathan is now just redirection and spreading his shots in crowds.
-[X]Offer resources and protection with Dragon(New tinker to exploit)Mention he is now a target for many groups and is unsafe alone even if he succeeds.

If this doesn't work
[X]Destroy the gun(Rust Shooter)
-[X]Put Sparky in a Ring Bind

Also

-[X]Use Rust Shooter on Alexandria ASAP. (Destroy the nanites with no harm to the victim)

[X] Talk Sparky out of attacking again.

Arguments:

1. He says that doing damage to an endbringer will make him untouchable by the Elite (who seem to be pursuing him). This is untrue, if anything it means that larger actors will go after him (notably the S9 and yangban).

2. There is a moderate chance the Endbringers themselves will target him personally now.

3. Survivial and fame probably best comes from the endorsement of people powerful enough to fight endbringers, and going rogue with that cannon will not endear themselves to him.

4. He is only really safe if Leviathan lives... consider this. Those nanites may very well only work on Leviathan, Beheamoth's dyna-kinesis might no-sell it. Thus Sparky is only valuable as long as he is the only one capable of producing a weapon that can kill Leviathan. Thus, of Levi dies Sparky only really becomes a potential asset or threat with no larger use.

I prefer to keep the cannon intact for Tim and Dragon.
I also prefer to not waste time trying to talk things out, so

[ ] Attack Sparky. He has already shown he doesn't care about collateral damage.
-[ ] Knock him off with non-lethal Flare Shooter and teleport him to Dragon.

On the other hand, who knows maybe his cannon has some safeguards that make it start shoot automatically or maybe somebody will steal grey goo samples if we leave the cannon unsupervised...

Same, the canon or the computer connected to it, could be usefull, store it, if nothing else, Perfect Storm could use it as part of it's repair & construction systems.

Get rid of the idioot, in such a way, they could hold him up as a good example of what not to do during a Endbringer attack.
Make it so even if he escapes prison, his live is over.
Might seem petty, but he could have atleast broadcasted a warning.

And since he did such a bad job of things, he m8ght have messed up the restriction code as well, making it so that Leviatha might actually come out of this fight, as the Hero, for once.
Could be funny if he would attack those under nanite attacks in order to remove & cross them.

Guy was a idioot, he litterally had the tech to dwarf Levi his goal by doing a bit of emergency reīnforcement of that location.
 
Are we even sure that breaking the cannon will stop the nanites? Given its tinkertech there is potential for the nanites to go berserk if the cannon is the control mechanism for them isn't there?
