Alchemical Solutions [Worm/Exalted] Thread 15: Occluded Orb Obsessively Observes Obscene Operations

Oh, and this is the charitable interpretation. Maybe he knowingly sold out for their help - if he was in the Protectorate for the resources but they weren't what he needed then the chance to work with Bonesaw and Mannequin is such a temptation - he plans to meet Mannequin's recruitment test anyway...
The test differs for each, always something that tempts them, that forces them to go beyond their comfort zones. If he was already working on self conversion that wouldn't be much of a test.
I'm guessing this time, they gave him the help to convert himself, and the test to complete the process was the base. Which is why he's doing this alone instead of having one of the Nine here.

Aisha is as suitable a candidate as Taylor was. canon Imp would qualify for either moonsliver or
ChandraMagic
I can't be bothered to expend the energy to care
As long as Brian, or Lisa, or Skein, is reached/find out about the...issue.
She's in the same team as Brian, I'm sure she'll help if he asks.

Well Dennis will be getting QUITE a shock if they get together.
Keep in mind that Aisha's Shard is a restricted version of what Zion used to set up the Trigger Event vision erasure. Nice Guy's power just made you think he was a harmless, cool dude (while he was shanking you, but details, details).

losing sleep to gain lost time.
if marrow knew more about her charms she can fix amputations. does anybody know if the spiders got singularitied ? who thaught up this singularity plan anyway it smells like a big red self destruct button on your evil overlord volcano base.
No, she can't. At least, not on others.

"Too Dumb To Live" achievement unlocked!
Congratulations, Belaeal! You just pissed offFuture Goddess Empress of Mankind Khepri Larva...
And knowing Tinkers, his "specialized" tech will be average at best - while compared to what it can be.

This is my new favorite description of Taylor.
Also, I'd have been extremely suspicious of Bezalel's specialty if he had actually given us two seconds of consideration. Unless HE was the one under suspicion? That seems unlikely though.

You and me both. Fingers crossed for a resolution that doesn't leave her dead or invalid. There are a few solutions that keep her functional. Wyld could do it, obviously, or we could convert her. Defiant-esque cybernetics might also be an option, though I guess we're currently getting a demonstration of the potential issues with that idea.
Man, I will fight you. But yeah, this isn't the time for that argument.
*reads update*
Yeah, I'm suddenly VERY pleased I insisted on prioritizing Weaver's acquiring dots of Medicine.
And Bezalel's specialty explains why we weren't allowed to give him IEU.
And the Tinkertech lab purge was an intentional attempt to take out Weaver?
Huh.
We need to be sure to return the favor.

Actually, that could be what tipped him over the edge to signing on with the S9.

You are one serious guy, Mr. Gromweld. Straight up crippling a character like that...
Probably.
But given that his specialty was classified, I can see why noone wanted to let a Ward near him.
Note that our spidersilk underlayer seems to have kept Who alive.

Good. Bad. I'm the man with the Wand.
Man I understand why Weaver would be pissed. She practically barred everything she knows about Autocthon to them, placing her full trust in that they'd do the same curtesy to her, and it turns out that they've been keeping this from her?!
Damn, that's not going to go over well.
Also, even if I don't like Aisha at all, having your hips crushed fucking sucks. Seen it often in car crashes, and it looks like they have styrofoam under the skin. Almost impossible to move them without sending them into agonizing pain.

what really mattered here was having her charms screwed-in properly allowing the 2 installations of Comprehensive Surgical Systems to save the day, though it's too bad we don't have a 3rd installation as then we'd have saved her legs as well.
If Panacea survives we can get it replaced; no big.
Or we can maybe covert her, assuming we think she qualifies.
I do suspect Aisha is going to be looking for alternatives if she survives this.
On the bright side, it suggests they CAN keep secrets, so hers should be safe.
Weaver can probably do something about the applicable nerves, assuming enough time.

True on all accounts, but now we have to wonder what else they felt they didn't need to tell us. We can't have repeats of whatever the hell this is.
Also, assuming they make it out, what do we tell the Wards? That they lied to us about Bezalel's specialty?
Unfortunately, we lacked Intelligence 5 at chargen, and the remaining Bonus points to raise it to 5 came much later.
