[X] Make yourself available to help Operation Pentagram.
[X] Go on patrol. You can bring other characters with you if you want.
-[X] Patrol Winter Hill territory with Laura Kayleigh have Cat Sith, Sam, and (Standstill?) ready as backup in case something goes pear shaped

[X] Hang out with Epoch & Mac. Check in on how they're doing, and see if we can help them with anything and feel out how interested they might be in being brought closer into Arcana's orbit.
-[X] Bring along Sarah to show off her new abilities and catch up with her friends.
[X] Explore somewhere on Earth Bet.
-[X] Florida was a bust, but maybe the beaches of California will be more peaceful. Take your team for a weekend trip to relax on a sunny beach for a while and just take in the chill vibes after all the recent stresses.
[X] Go on patrol with Laura and Cassiel. It's been ages since you engaged in more "street level" heroing, and while some might say such banal use of your power is beneath you after recent events, it's good to remember your roots. Also, getting Cassiel out of Dragon's workshop for a while will be a good experience for her, and getting her out of Dragon's hair for a while would be good for both of them.

I'd love to vote. Sadly, my mind won't let me formulate* anything that complex today, nor yesterday. I hope you lot pick something good.

*I was tempted to leave the typo of forumlate as being oddly apropos
 
[X] Hang out with another character(s). This is by definition a non-combat activity.

Why?
You can train it in simulation and if you discover something try it for real in parallel universe or other world.

Because Rangnarok has no Ranks to "train". When we train a spell, at least before switching to the XP system, we specifically trained ranks in that spell, and I bet that hasn't changed other than we now just accrue XP towards the next rank of that spell that we can use instead of our normally generated XP. What's more, we've already trained Ragnarok in simulation once, right before the Leviathan fight, just to give in-character reasons to know just what it does, and other than Taylor being traumatized by the horrors of the original Calamity Witch's life and gaining an appreciation of just how potentially destructive her Biggest Boom is both to her target and to herself, we didn't gain anything else from it.

Silently said three activities, not four.
 
[X] Taylor and Tim meet up with Dragon and scan her workforce for Linker Cores to create more magi-engineers for DragonTech.
-[X] Ask how her "date" with Armsmaster at the tech conference went. Was it a successful "Unison?:lol:"
-[X] Have Tim do a Tech demo/display of what he's built and what he's working on. Specifically mention the Linker Core mutation and stress the risks of it. See if any of the non-mages are interested.
[X] Go to Earth He for some proper exploration of the desolate planet. Bring Samantha along for a travel buddy who won't be cooked by the environment.

Is it intentional, that all characters in this quest have the typical wisdom stat of not particulary well adjusted teenagers? I mean it's okay that 15 y/o mc is like this. But her father isn't much better. His subordinates are not much better. PRT troopers are not much better. Dragon is not much better. The only character that actually acts like somewhat responsible adult in 90 first chapters I read is Miss Militia.

It was still kind of fun to read while it lasted, but at this point I'm growing too annoyed to continue. Between all that and the MC who due to how votes are made is often acting like a not particulary intelligent schiziphrenic... serously, I hope it got better in later chapters, but I don't want to suffer to find out.

Yes, actually. Worm cannon, Parahuman Shards push their hosts to be more aggressive, more reckless, more conflict-driven. Just how much influence they have isn't exactly known, but... Parahuman abilities make you act in really stupid ways sometimes. Magic, on the other hand, doesn't, and is explicitly commented on by characters in this quest that it's nice having a superhero actually willing to work with the police instead of being conflict-driven into attempting to resolve everything themselves.
 
Voting seems to have come to a stop. I guess I'll write all this sometime in the next couple of weeks.
