I think...mostly in agreement. And we know she qualifies from previous analysis. The only objections are legal, but given the extent of the damage here, Legal will give us a pass.

If Marrow crafts her armor into a giant blade, does that mean Bladedancer could use it to fly with her powers?
Not a chance. She offed Hatchet Face I'm betting. There was a throwaway line mentioning multiple Tinkers.
I don't think Jack talked with Iris at all (considering inability to communicate has been a massive problem of Iris's for centuries or even millennia)
It doesn't matter how good your communication shard is if it's trying to decipher a black box system that doesn't have any form of external output.
No, I think that all of his data came from PRT computer systems after trying to figure out what the hell the giant indestructible bowling ball that got dropped on them was.
And now to possibly negate that (but unlikely given the "Eye of Autochton"'s track record), I just realized that Iris might be able to stunt which direction he rolls and bounces if chucked at a wall of a flat floored room.

Or he just has copies of the PRT's information about us. Hard to say.
I really wouldn't want to rely on Autocthon to fix, or even recognize, mental damage. Better to up our Medicine and consult with Amy.
EDIT:
She already is.
Shards adapt. That was the whole thing about Thinker interaction with essence. Once they figure out the general rules of how it works, they can interact with it. Jack, given a willingness to suffer continuous pain, could certainly adapt rapidly by Iris exposure, and well...this is small potatoes compared to what he did with Scion from inside a Grey Boy Loop.
I'm not against exalting her, but I want to point out that this is definitely not the criteria to use to determine who gets exalted. It is in no way mandatory that we exalt her, we're exalting people to save Auto-kun and possibly the earth too. Everything else is secondary considerations. We want the best candidates we can acquire. We're not doing this to save random little dying girls. This is not the Make a Wish foundation.

Yeah but Missy was already on our wishlist, just held off because of politics because she's too young. Because her power DOES help Autocthon. A lot. It tells him a shitton about how Nowhere-Physics works. Especially the underlying spacial fabric. Which should help with figuring out how to transport him.
The Twins (who Bonesaw is probably going to bodily merge together anyway) are even more useful because they get right down into the nitty gritty of pocket universe formation and teleportation.

Coil didn't "adapt to essence" he second-triggered and realized how his shard had always worked in the first place. If he had truly adapted, he wouldn't have needed to assassinate us to prevent us from messing with his precog.
Actually, I just had a pleasing thought. Jack Slash's attempts to discredit Auto-kun could actually be used as endorsement, since anything Jack Slash wants to discredit is probably good.
I agree, I'm just saying we shouldn't use Dragonbard's (implied) criteria to determine exaltation candidates.
He would. Essence would ALWAYS render his precog less efficient than it used to be. It became "this will probably happen" instead of "this WILL happen" when an essence wielder is involved.
Couldn't agree more.
So, should probably start figuring out a charm set-up for her.
Well, that and figure out as many Omakes as we possible can to get everything we need for this battle.
When we're done, we want to put the fear of God, Iris, Autochthon, and US into all the S9.
Hopefully bringing in heavy backup to rolfstomp Jack Slash with? I'd very much enjoy a anti-climatic ending to this where Jack is completely and utterly crushed in one update.

Good Job Glom!
I have never wanted to kill a fictional person more then in this moment.

Regardless of the possible utility of our death, he didn't "adapt".
Shaking with impotent rage. Both Missy and Aisha... God DAMN Jack Slash. All the Exalted bullshit in the world and we can't even protect the kids we took under our wing, so what was even the point!? Maker, I hope Bladedancer is the one to kill him. She, at least, would have the right attitude and make it slow.

no but he was adapting, it just hadn't finished before BEHEMOTH INTERRUPT! screwed up his plans.

We never saw anything but him realizing that his power was precog, not timeline-splitting.
