Really, Autochtonian Soulsteel is sort of a byproduct of devoured Grey souls mixed with what is basically Autochton's poop under high pressure.

No go. Even if we did want to, and they do have forgable souls, we don't have the know-how needed to do so. (Iris might, because when Autocthon turned the Greys into Soulsteel, he likely went "what in Creation is this stuff?", and experimented with it.)

Maybe they've been turned into bonesaw plague bombs?
Or the PRT swapped them with Miss Milita and Armsmaster because there's an S-Class event happening. Both aren't excactly in the right headspace for that at the moment.
While Armsmaster as a Tinker is valuable to counter the S9 Tinkers. Miss Millita is an effective combatant, if squishy.
The last thing we saw about A&B was their powers fading in their bed in their interlude it doesn't make sense to end an interlude like that and then have the answer to where they've gone just be " Oh they woke up fine and then the PRT transferred them."
Oh, right that got canonized. Forgot about that.
This is in conflict with the implications at the end of the Assault Interlude.
Thank you for settling that.
So when this is over? Long talk.
But not before.

[PARANOIA INTENSIFIES]
How?
Last check Hatchet Face was within range of their house.
Nor would Susan or Ethan have left Philadelphia without so much as a "See you soon" to the BB Wards, or the lady who hosted them to dinner the night before.
Are we sure those are not zombied imposters?
Bonesaw did the imposter thing to Parian's people in canon, altering their looks to resemble S9 members and turning them loose.
This requires a call to Piggot to check who she has in camp with her.
Or if we had a teleporter available, a quick trip to run a scan.
Fair enough.
I'd have thought she'd have felt the physical impact through Taylor's armor, but not a big deal.

Just gives the Philly Tourism Board more stuff to pimp.
Especially if we manage a clean sweep of the Nine here.
Ah.
Someone's gonna make mad bank from reconstruction; Philly's too big to fail.
The only way it would be abandoned would be an Endbringer attack.
I guess we now have some idea how Fortress Construction is going to come back into our lives.
Toybox too; Big Rig has stuff that should be good at this.
I do rather doubt that Camden is going to be written off; as a 50k city and capital of a 500k county, that is unlikely in the main, barring total destruction.
What is more likely is that various interest groups*cough*FBI/PRT/Dragon*cough*will seize the opportunity to make permanent changes to the sociopolitical situation that made it such a hellhole.
Oh, and it's PRT office is probably becoming a Philly PRT sub-department.
Come to think about it, I can see the feds deciding to solve two problems with one move:
Fund reconstruction of Camden/Philly, and incentivise the remaining BB refugees to move to Camden.
So that's where Marrow's Dodge training came from!
Yup.
10 miles or so is walking distance, and pre-positioning of relief supplies means the US Army/National Guard/FEMA/PRT should be able to deal.
People with chronic disabilities are kinda fucked though.
Huh.
Now I'm curious.
*sigh*
Fucking teenagers.
It's like they're too stupid to smell a trap when they see one; one would think that even Earth Bet would be aware of horror movie tropes by now.
Never split the party.
I guess either Gallant or Clockblocker is acting second in command at the moment.
Uh.
This really is one of those cases where you do not want to trust the judgement of the field operative, or so it would seem to me.
Oh, that one's easy.
If it IS connected to the local shard LAN network, it has taken a good hard look at QA and possibly Marrow!Shard as well as the data from Chevalier!Shard, and decided it wants none of that sort of makeover.
Hence it's attempts to make damn sure it's human is not inclined to change.
I suspect that's also a factor with Chevalier's reaction to seeing Auto-kun's image, and Autobot's reaction to him looking; Autobot is looking at the shard, not the human, hence the disdain.
Besides, I do suspect they're programmed to hide their presence, and view people close to determining the secret...poorly.
Eye spy with my little eye~
It would be just like him to try and fuck us at the optimally annoying moment.
Fair points.
Immune to mundane diseases as attack vectors, but not poisons.
Check.
*looks at Exalted poison rules*
Hmm. Yozi Venom is 10A/min, Toxicity 5.
Our Stamina+Resistance is 9, which should mean avg 5 successes.
Might need more Resistance to be safe, especially with tinkertech flying around.

Point of order:
This is the second time we have been directly responsible for saving the lives of Sabah, Amy and Lisa.
First time was when we went dumpster-diving in Noelle's guts to pull them all out.
Any more and we have to start passing out frequent flyer cards.
And in case I forgot to mention it earlier:
I really did enjoy the brief Aisha/Alex byplay.
Autobot deathstar'd a race that were trying to kill/enslave him for no better reason than to get better stuff.
A race he sponsored, and was very fond of.
And when he caught them, the text says they didn't even attempt to beg.
Darwin Award nominees right there.
And as far as I can tell, there was no intent to create soulsteel; the things came about due to an accidental combination with his waste.
If he could create more souls casually to forge into soulsteel while asleep, Autochtonia would not be running short on souls.
That's his job, so to speak.
People criticise the PRT all they wish, and the organization does have it's fair amount of politics, but no one can say that one of their Directors has abandoned his duty post due to an on-going S-class event.
Not in canon.
Wrong.
See: Apostate.
Exalts have free will, so what happens is that you get an Exalt who is actively hostile to you.
And that's assuming Autobot agrees to convert her in the first place.

In regards to the end of Assault and Battery's interlude, there is the possibility that it was a red herring. Hatchet Face may have simply passed by their house without realizing it.

Gunnerkrigg Court is quite fun. My brother and I have planted a small forest of epileptic trees between ourselves about some of the open plot lines. The laser cows were just one of the more amusing quirks of the Court.

Good. Bad. I'm the man with the Wand.
People suggested assassinating him? Weird.
As for A&B:
-Cauldron bailed them out ahead of time since Battery still owes them a favor
- Bonesaw created look-a-likes with some sort of bomb emplacement from Bakuda
- Red herring.

I can't be bothered to expend the energy to care
Mhm, because he wasn't letting EOA do all the things. He dared treat EOA as a Ward and not, you know, as his personal confidant, or let EOA do everything she wanted because she is on a mission from
I'm pretty sure that was just one guy, with maybe 2 more who want to use bureaucratic leverage on him, out of our 10-20 regular posters and 60 odd voters.

*shrugs* Possibly. Can't remember. it has been, admittedly, a bit.
It was basically the whole: he's an obstructionist and he needs to be removed because he's not giving us free rein to do whatever we want! We're important and our work is important. He should know this and give us what we want because we're a pretty pretty
You should know how people on a Mission from the local equivalent of God are like.
Musical. And great drivers.You should know how people on a Mission from the local equivalent of God are like.
The leaders and the people who actually worked on the project, maybe. But it was an entire race, I find it hilariously unlikely that every last one of them, from the beggars to the newborn infants, to the working class schmucks were all in on it.
I don't.
Not in Creation and it's environs, which has a history of being....odd.
I find it particularly suggestive that not a single member of their species lived outside one of their cities.
And that no one apparently begged for their lives even when caught at it.
Besides, point of order:
How do you know there were beggars or newborn infants?
Look at the Mountain Folk, for example.
Agreed, but we're short on XP, and the Omake well isn't refilling that fast, so others are going to need to step up to help get enough XP to buy it, and the Dodge purchase we'll probably be getting next update.
We 'do' have enought o get her as a one dot Ally, which should give her basic protection until we get enough.
I'd also suggest getting Resistance.
Well, I'll be getting started on the roll check early tomorrow, so hopefully that will be 1 XP towards the "Stuff We MUST Buy Now" List.

it's the same thing as if they were all wiped out because their leaders launched a preemptive nuclear strike and were taken out by a retaliatory second strike.
