And only mini because fleet's teasing has made her work on keeping her file size down.
So... the appropriate response would be [SCREAMING INTERNALLY], since, as demonstrated, external screaming is a privilege Survey-chan can remove at a whim.
At least she's not a nudist... I mean she probably could already cause traffic jams just by smiling, but still...

She could stand to be nude. Just add a few wings too.
At least she took inspirations on human/cape behaviour on aggregate and not just taking a single example to emulate, say Narwhal from the Guild

Did Survey just Sirenhead the E88?
Maybe some image coaching is necessary? (Wallawallaman)
I was struck by another Omake idea! This follows the same theme as "She's perfectly nice!"
Maybe some image coaching is necessary?
Taylor was excited. Thrilled even. Things were happening! They had made it through Somner's rock, and while the group was still cold with one another, they had bigger things on their minds. She did anyway. The Undersiders boss! They were finally getting to meet Lisa's boss, the mysterious backer that had organized all this from the shadows! She knew was going to have to play this close. She knew from Joe's questions that Coil was that overarching threat that weighed on him, and from the way Lisa acted after she dealt with him, she was sure Lisa knew too. Coil had to go, and she knew it was her problem. That critical thing Joe's thinker power backed her up on.
Joe did offer to help, but she didn't want to ask him for anything more. She would have felt like Joe's demonstration device already if it wasn't for the fact that it was clear that she wasn't. Joe was living art just by himself.
Glancing at Lisa as they walked out of the door to the waiting van, she noticed heavier bags than usual under her eyes. Lisa glanced at her, gave her a weak smile, than flinched, which was odd. They were all silent strapping in, but Taylor was continually alarmed by how nervous Lisa seemed. Lisa was glancing between Taylor, her watch, and the window, then resting her eyes in her cupped palms, then proceeded to stay that way for the remainder of the journey.
After about 15 minutes of rumbling around, Taylor noticed the van pull into a visible underground garage. She noted it using the local biology as a topological map.
Exiting the van, she surpresses a rush of thrill that went to her. She was going to see this through. She will not fail Joe, and its not because she is afraid of needing his help.
They all made it to a boardroom.
A tall, skinny man in a rather disappointing body-sock sat at the other end of the room. She landed a local fruitfly on tattletales hand, and did her basic to relay simple morse code via touch. Tattletale responded by moving her hands slightly. The difference in light was enough of a response signal for her to work with.
It was go time.
___
Lisa hated everything at the moment. Not quite everything, but almost everything.
Her head fucking hurt. She could barely think. She did not want to be underground with Coil, in the same city as that fucking pet monster he kept, and she actively scared of taylor poking the beast so to speak. That thing was insane.
Luckily, she was following her leads. Or was, until that fucking idiot coil pulled out that damn hostage girl /tinker_opiates_effects.memetic/, and Taylor sent everyone a message.
Taylor: watch reports girl is drugged and a parahuman /remote brain scan?/, Joe's not going to be ok with it.
How? Hands on the table? Holographic keyboard sized for tiny bugs, of course.
Heart pounding, she frantically relays out a reply. she has to contain this until she can come up with an exit plan.
Lisa: In control of the situation, working on it with Joe. Girl is fine for now, but situation is bad complicated.
It was a stretch to say that they were working together, but she was being 100% honest when she stated it was complicated, she just needed to figure out that monster-
Alec: Bullshit, Taylor, call Joe. Hes going to be pissed when he finds out, and he was pissed after the bank job remember?"
Brian was still conversing with Coil, thank god for that going well.
But Taylor had just activated the call feature, and somehow Coil still hadn't noticed, new stranger effects from watches? Wait, even she hadn't noticed!
And then Taylor looked at her with a vaguely guilty face.
Her watched beeped.
"Lisa, I know you had a plan going into this, but this is entirely preventable. I told Joe I needed someone to look over our shoulder with Coil, and he said Survey would love to help. Expect her shortly."
Oh god no. She just fed a high caliber thinker hostage to a supervillain with an endbringer in his basement, from the highest value team on earth.
And then all the lights went out. Joy.
---
Brian was rightly disturbed by the contents of Taylors message, as well as adding together the rather easy 2 plus 2 based on the what {younger looking than Aisha} 12? year old girl. The bags, general frailty, and dead eyed looks alone made him supremely uncomfortable, the memories of the last gym visit stuck in his mind. This really wasn't what he signed up for at all.
When the lights went off, it was almost a relief. Usually in that situation, it was his darkness blocking it, but in this case it was a decent way of dropping the situation entirely.
Coil himself looked rather disconcerted based on body language, and turned to Tattletale for clarification.
Tattletale looked supremely uncomfortable, and surprisingly said nothing. Brian wished he knew what the fuck was going on, and the only thing holding him back from screaming to Lisa about it is he would be afraid the extra stress would kill her. But yet another fucking thing that happens where she doesn't fucking say anything.
Tattletale and Coil looked at each other frozen for a brief moment.
Coil was clearly unhappy about something but him and tattletale pulled over to a nearby video monitor array, which evidently had various security zones highlighted, along with black and white surveillance footage of the various internal checkpoints.
He still had no idea what was happening though. Whatever communication had occurred later between Lisa and Taylor had been private. Still, nothing ventured nothing gained.
"Tattletale? Status?"
Tattletale grimaced at him.
"Incoming parahuman from the Celestial Forge, bad power interaction is possible with other local occupants, secondary acknowledged"
Brian felt both better and worse. Worse because a brand new member of Joe's team was showing up at the worst possible time, and better, because it looked like the last part of her answer pissed off Coil. With how annoyed he was at himself and Tattletale for getting into this, irritation aimed at her was briefly cathartic.
Then the screens they were watching went blank. Coil jerked back like he was stung. Thinker feedback?
He had no idea how much he hated that orange emergency lighting until right now.
Echoing booms filled the distance, than quiet.
Coil reached over and pressed a button. No response.
Before anyone could move further. the locked door they were in was unlocked and swung open.
Oh, it was Apieron's thinker/stranger? Whatever it was, she made him redefine what it meant to be attracted to women. However, it was just incredibly odd. It had barely been 20 seconds after Taylor's message, and Joe's teammate had already caught up to them. A rather impressive amount of competence, but he figured she was Joe's teammate after all.
However, her response to Coil getting up was to examine him like a bug under a microscope.
Staring him like he was the most interesting thing in the universe.
She continued looking over a clearly very nervous looking Coil. A coil, who he noticed, was being telekenetically restrained.
Glancing over at a highly distressed Coil, he suddenly understood what was happening, and was suddenly very impressed with Tattletale.
Very, very pissed too, but very impressed all the same. Time to stop with the bullshit, and commit Tattletale for once, before she two-faces them into accidentally betraying Apieron, or something equally ridiculous. First he angled himself so Survey's face was out of his direct sight. It was distracting. She was too perfect. Strolling too casually. It was like she existed on a different level than everything else. Supreme confidence.
He grabbed the restraint bands Joe provided with the extras pack for their costumes, and zip-tied an oddly non-resisting Coil.
"Congrats Tattletale, you got your coup"
Right after, he turned to Taylor.
"Kephri, can you confirm the status of Coils men? Tattletale obviously decided to go for a show of force, but try and just record numbers and current status"
Preparing himself to talk with Survey with Rachel and Alec as backup, he was interrupted by Taylor. She was sheepishly leaning back and form in her blacked out armor.
"Uh Grue? Everyone in the facility is asleep, including the monster in the vault that Tattletale and I were worried out about"
Tattletale choked on air at that, as she had finished flailing and looked at Survey, than to Kephri, her hand flying over the keys. She recovered and spoke up.
"Either way, we need Coil to cooperate, otherwise some of these contingencies will happen regardless, but let me-"
Tattletale stopped as Survey abruptly stood up, crossing around the dense in an eye capturing display of perfect grace, and turned to them with a shining smile.
"I may be able to help with that"
Her voice was like sex rolled in molten honey. Stranger or Master? Alec was looking pretty jumpy.
Survey levitated Coil to her eye level, and from the muffled hysterical pleading, Coil was highly unhappy. Brian could admit he knew when powers got scary, and any interrogation power that needed eye contact like this was scary. He wasn't going to risk himself for a child kidnapper though. Joe's teammate can have their fun.
Survey's face took on a look of artistic contemplation, and started weaving her molten silver air into an array around a 3 feet out from coil's head. There was a low purple light that was emitted. That didn't look like much. Coil jerked and thrashed a bit, but then went still.
Survey then hummed a note of satisfaction with her voice, turning to a frozen tattletale.
"He will be able to freely answer questions to your satisfaction"
Brian started to become very nervous at the fact that coil did not respond to Survey carefully cutting away his body-sock over his face and head.
Seeing a grown man stare at Survey drooling, with childish wonder and a dopey smile on his face, was the most disconcerting thing Brian had seen in his life by far.

Platinum Primate: I thought about it really hard.
Tattletale/Shard:AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Just a thought, could Apeiron take control of Endbringers by somehow freezing them/keeping them in place while he used Feel It Out and did his level best to "upgrade" and augment (Upgrades would have probably have to be at the core or wherever the Endbringers think otherwise this definitely wouldn't work), them as fast as possible until he's able to control their bodies slightly and prevent them from attacking, then take them back to base to actually work on them? Like I know he almost definitely wouldn't but could he?
Also does anyone know if the weird holy rites Adeptus Mechanicus and all those other tech people in Warhammer do actually effect anything thanks to the Warp and belief stuff, or is it all just pointless outside of religious reasons?

Endbringers can do all kinds of fucky stuff with artificial systems and their own body.
Putting them away in a Tesseract prison would be a good starting point. If it's good enough for C'tan shards, it's approaching paranoid enough for the Simurgh. As a starting point.

I think it's be more likely to work if he somehow figured out how to connect them to the Laboratorium since the Endbringers are really just shard-based automatons and they might read the Endbringers as abominable intelligences and tear them apart the way they did to Dragon except without sparing the backups, then either sent one of his own AI or slapped a new one together to take the husks over.
The only way I'd be comfortable with the Endbringers is to use FMA on them and turn them into Philosopher's Stones.
Remember, while the Laboratorium 40k tech is good, it is apparently not good enough to deal with Bakuda's detonation trigger, and Endbringers are not necessarily less powerful/advanced - in their current, less limited form than usual - than that. Being all gung-ho about 40k is fine, but do remember that Roust has set the bar rather high in his interpretation of Entity tech.
I would expect Washu Tech to win against Entity tech, maybe Strong Spark depending on the area and DAOT/40k on the physics side (barring dimensional shenanigans) . One of the main issues of Joe is that 40k/DAOT level tech presupposes a civilization backing it up, and while Joe can emulate an astounding amount of that, there are some parts that is currently outside his wheelhouse. Specifically for DAOT, I would argue that humanity's psychic field - including an active God Emperor - had a lot to do with why humanity stomped faces during its time, and without that big a psychic field/theotech power to work with, coupled with the issue that Joe is not (yet) on the God Emperor's level, I would go with Joe not just hacking the shards/Endbringers outright.
Of course, I'd also argue that because it would not, to me, be a very good end to the story, but YMMV!

Would that work? The Laboratorium and it's Machine Spirits might be intended for the safe containment, analysis and probably some purging of dangerous tech and xenotech, but wouldn't they be designed to deal with the tech from the Warhammer civilisations the tech comes from and not just any tech? Meanwhile Endbringers and Shard "code" would be something they've never encountered, and extremely complex due to probably well over 1000 years of advancements in addition to this. I suppose you could argue that Dragon being made by a tinker could have some shard code but this is probably false, she's more likely to have either human code (which would be easy for Laboratorium to combat), or some Previous Cycle civilisations code, in which case it probably wouldn't be that complex (By 40k standards) allowing the Machine Spirit to combat her easily. (In canon is it ever stated if the code used to create her is human or tinker tech?)
Maybe if they didn't have that weird density space folding thing or whatever it is, but Joe doesn't have that, he can probably penetrate it but copying it is a different story, his mecha also would be a lot easier to disable/destroy than an Endbringer (Not to say his are easy to destroy) due to his mecha having components and stuff, while AFAIK Endbringers are just their material and their core.

The question is do they have soul's for that to be even remotely possible
Shards have backups of their previous hosts including previous cycles (hence the Butcher and the 'shard afterlife' thing), unsure about the Conflict Engines - remember that the Endbringers are only activated by Eidolon's subconcious, not made by his shard.

Iirc Dragon was at least partially Tinkertech made by Andrew Richter, which I believe actually hooks into the shard that made it to sort of fudge the numbers and make it work. I don't think the Endbringers' "minds" being shard based would be a problem, since while it is strictly speaking more advanced than Dragon a pure shard probably doesn't have the anti-tampering protections an ordinary AI would have (because they're used to the only thing that can effect them being other shards) that would allow them to fight back against the machine spirits (with the potential exception of Ziz since she's got a Tinker database).

DAOT was pre-Big-E being proactive, closer to Star Trek than the 40k we think of. So while he's kicking around I don't think he's essential.
The age of strife is when he really gets going.

How so? (I don't know WH40K well)
I didn't mean that advancement would be the reason they couldn't, I was just saying it could effect whether they could/how hard it would be.
The main factor I was taking about was that shards, any code they might have, how it works and how they think are completely foreign/unknown to the Machine Spirits (If I recall correctly the main currently alive races of Warhammer 40k are Humans, Daemons, Eldar, Tau, Tyranids, Necrons, C'tan, Orks, Genestealers. Genestealers/Tyranids probably don't have tech and aren't similar to shards, and the rest aren't similar to shards either, meaning that no race that they could have analysed/learned any of the code of would be similar enough for them to not have to analyse the shard code from scratch), so unless scrap code can work against shards due to the warp -this is assuming that shards even use code and not some sort of thing unique to shards/any similar beings to shards that might but probably don't exist- then the machine spirit shouldn't be able to do anything without a long period of time to analyse shard-code.
Also just because Dragon is tinker tech doesn't mean she's got shard-code, since I'm pretty sure all tinker blueprints/knowledge is from previous civilisations in the cycle, not the shards.
