Brockton's Celestial Forge (Worm/Jumpchain)

Am I the only one thinking this will go wrong for Apeiron? Like, Leviathan's attack will probably happen soon and considering that Crowler is going for Noelle... that decision to wait for them to come to BB is terrible, it would be better to attack them in the way to BB.

I love the idea of an out of the city S9 ambush that's an utter curb stomp, but the aftermath is unpleasant.

It's such a change to how he's approached everything up to this point it just feels like real progress.

Unfortunately, "Jack and the Slaughterhouse Nine are our highest priority targets. We're taking no chances here. Let them commit to their attack, and then we wipe them out, all at once." just seems like dropping the idiot ball. By far the best time to strike is while they are moving through low population areas. Hopefully Tybolt is going to insist on a proactive strike.

A wicked smile crossed his face. "And they will never see us coming."
"Yeah, the Slaughterhouse Nine is definitely coming to Brockton Bay." I said as I finished reviewing Survey's analysis.
Like the previous posters said, the S9 come strutting in to BB like they're hot shit but they don't realize they're walking right into Survey's web. It's quite easy to spot them too. Any large container that can haul Crawler's fat ass will be a dead giveaway.

"For something like this? Absolutely. I don't want to just defeat the Nine. I don't want this to be close enough to even be considered a fight. I want an offensive that leaves them no hope for escape, much less victory. I want them to lose without even understanding what they are up against and for their destruction to serve as a warning for any who would follow in their footsteps. I want to destroy the Nine as a concept. If that means the Protectorate looks at what I brought to bear and decides their only option is launching an S-Class response that involves opening the Birdcage, canceling kill orders, and making a deal with Nilbog, then so be it. We will deal with that, but no matter what, no matter the cost, Jack does not walk away from this. Not this time."
RIP Jack, you psycho bastard will not live. And to any other competitor that tries to think of themselves as Celestial Forge's equal.

Celestial Forge can already take over the world 40+ chapters back. With the Dyson sphere and new tech Apeiron just unlocked, he's already guaranteed to be successful in taking Earth Bet to a higher civilization.
 
Shoring up obvious areas while leaving gaps in his armor unaddressed."

"Like mental effects." Cherish agreed emphatically
Apeiron Clone: Laughs in Mental Fortress.
unless he's as unstable as Cherish believes him to be."

"He is." She restated firmly
Apeiron Clone: Cackles uncontrollably in Mental fortress
Original Apeiron: "You know, cackling like that won't help the rumors about our sanity"
Apeiron Clone: "I know, but look at them, they're so...adorable, y'know, like a chihuahua barking at a much larger dog whi-"
Aisha: "Shouldn't that be a... whatever is you furry form called again?" "Inostrancevia." "Yeah, that, thanks Survey"
Apeiron Clone: "...While the Therapsid look on bemused at the guts on the tiny pup" *looks at Aisha with a bemused look on his face
Apeiron: "I understand what you're saying...I'm rather concerned we're belittling the Slaughterhouse 9, but I understand what you mean."

Apocyan was memory something....what were the specifics?

Apocyan was as far removed from cosmogone as violant was from irrigo. Cosmogone was soft and sedate while apocyan was sharp and aggressive. The color looked greenish-blue in recordings, but in reality it burned with the promise of the future. Not the warm thoughts of comfortable days, but the beating drive to an ambitious and unknown future
 
Gadgeteer (Totally Spies/Martin Mystery) 600:
Not only do you have the knowledge and resources to produce all of WOOHP and the Center's gadgets quickly and efficiently, but you'll never run out of ideas for new gadgets, and you'll be able to incorporate any other technologies you know seamlessly
Huh... I didn't think WOOHP and Center tech would be so heavy. The Center's teleportation is thinking back pretty dam nice but the new ideas is the expulsive power interaction option.
 
So...Joe is ceding initiative and letting them plan and come to him. Setting aside the morality of that.

Tybalt doesn't see anything wrong with that on a tactical and strategic level? How about Shatterbird's singing and Bonesaw's plagues fucking up BB because Joe was content to wait, Joe keeps on mentioning "he'll deal with the fall out later" I guess a wrecked plague wridden city is just one of those.

But on the bright side, the bomb code is starting to make progress and the shard space ship is on its maiden voyage. That's pretty cool.

Sounds like Cherish is getting hit by the 'no action unless provoked' spoofing, and Joe doesn't want the Thinkers of the world to realise that's an actual effect he's set up - so is willing to take the amorality of waiting on the chin.

I'm going to guess he's going to work on the idea that he'll hit as soon as the Nine get into "range" of Survey, then hit hard and fast, with the whole "nobody wrecks the peace" from the summit as the excuse.
 
The way I see it is that Joe want to make a show of example to S9 that their usual terror tactics ain't gonna work and he already knew they are coming. Joe probably gonna put countermeasures against all of the known member capability and utter curb stomps them while showing off to the public.
Remember that Joe said this is an opportunity, a perfect one to show off his strength against a full strength and well prepared S9.
 
Jesus, another annihilator cape in Brockton. The stake's keep escalating! We've got the potential for the biggest clusterfuck this city has ever seen which will be resolved with Joe revealing his actual capabilities. The hype!

Tactically, it's the difference between a strike and an ambush - it's not inherently less effective to choose to ambush.

Practically, Joe only gets more able to handle them the longer he waits. But he said he's planning to fight before Bonesaw has a chance to scatter plagues, with the tools to contain them. Shatterbird? Unnatural Skill Music means he can simply countersong her power even if he doesn't have another preventative measure in place.
 
Joe no.....Just no. Use your goddamned drones or build a fucking sattelite, find them, then drop a black hole bomb on them while they are passing between towns

And if a certain unnoticed van is not in the range of the black hole bomb?

Or what if they, quite reasonably, are spread out as they move with individuals taking different routes in varying amounts? Routes that could involve say, traveling on a train or the like?

And as he has noted, he doesn't understand their powers fully. What if one of them, like a new one he didn't know about, had something to let them slip through his attack?

He's aware they're incoming, has a direction, now he's stepping up preparations for them while they got no idea what he's truly capable of. Laying groundwork for a strike to hit them all at once, with them noticed the moment they come into range.

Also, putting up highly advanced satellites next to a certain someone up there before you're ready to deal with all that is a concern that is reasonable.
