I was clearly joking about Taylor getting power from mantra, everyone knows that Taylor gets her real power from pure escalation. More powerful then any fiat power imaginable.

Technically survey should already have a copy of the documents the moment she scanned them. She just sitting on the knowledge until Taylor asked because that what Joe asked for, no private life info without their consent

Principle and Principal mixup a couple of times in this chapter.
Overall what should be a "boring" chapter, but definitely exploring a number of interesting lines like the general perception (and the Greg perception) of Parahumans in general and Celestial Forge/Lady Khepri specifically. Nice to see Taylor acknowledging that heroes are human too, something she definitely struggled with in canon.
Like her power?
March?
See above
Then that would mean Taylor will fly like Doflamingo. Using threads as a sense of flight and escalating conflict through dog fights in the air. Oh dear, I hope Taylor doesn't start growing like 7 feet tall and wears pink fluffy shirts. You just know if Garment suddenly get a cache of One Piece style wardrobe, the undersiders are getting new clothes like no ones business

It's the second time today I've read stuff about Taylor and nanowire(the other is Skitterdoc 2077 where she didn't beheaded herself in the simulation in a while and intends to install it soon).

Sound like "fail-deadly" to me. But yeah, you can count on Taylor to bug-exploit all her gear.
To be fair to Taylor, she doesn't know Survey is a lawyer in her civilian identity.
So par for the course for Winslow.

Thank you very much.
A wingsuit might be viable too. Or even wings. As she can make them incredible thin while they remain indestructible, she just needs some stiff materials for the wing skeleton and fill the rest with fine unbreakable silk. Even if she descends too rapidly, as long as she doesn't get stuck in the ground the durability upgrade will have her be okay.
The number of minor Parahumans would probably mean that they changed that as soon as they could.
Ah of course. She's going to get her hands on the Chi-fueled Beam Katana and have each and every one of her insects suddenly have lightsabers.
Alternatively she might be able to pull some Spirit Bomb shenanigans using a connection to all of the insects across all of the Earths.
Yeah it's not like she can't survive terminal velocity.
Razor Floss is indeed fun~
Oh hey if her Reinforcement extends to her swarm though her power then I wonder if that will continue when the Parahumans of the Earths become a part of her Swarm.
Actually I wonder if Crawler might adapt to fall under her control if that sort of benefit comes with it.
Ah yes Taylor the Escalating Queen; she who will weaponize anything and everything up to and including prayers in her name. Praise be!

Imagine if Lisa's worst nightmares ever came to be: Joe is about to mobilize on Noelle and Coil. But before Joe can even do anything, he only arrives on site to find Taylor already have Oops, All Aegislash'ed her way through the Travelers.
I think that Taylor would legitimately be able to outpace Noelles regeneration with her ability to sever things. She might be able to restrain Alexandria as well come to think of it.
It would be a fun experience reading the chapters with Taylor using her cutting edge technique to rain havoc on her enemies. Oh, the reactions of those poor unfortunately souls.
Especially how Joe and the rest of the undersiders would react.
Joe:...I swear I didnt know she would use them like that...

Taylor remains absolutely amazing. There is nothing she won't turn into a lethal weapon and it is EXACTLY the reason she is Best Host.
QA must be LOVING all this [DATA] and doing the Shard version of a happy dance.
And oh yeah, time for Blackwell to get fucking destroyed.
And hey, Survey now has all that information and is probably going to put it into an update packet for Joe.
Does Joe even know about the Locker yet? Does he even realize what Mrs. Hebert's Daughter has been going through?
BECAUSE HE IS ABOUT TO FIND OUT! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!

Survey knows, but Joe won't. He explicitly told her to keep the private life of capes to herself.

And thus did she become sawgirl. We truly once more became reminded why she's called Queen of Escalation.
Surprised she didn't use her watch to try to understand what that contract means.

Lol, my take-away from this chapter is that Taylor hasn't really changed from canon.
She completely bluescreens at the revelation that the internet has decided that she must be a model or actress then decides to immediately ignore the conflict with her own internal self-image.
She gets supernatural durability and immediately determines that, obviously, Joe wanted her to figure out how to utilize it to take down buildings and create nanowire storms that would make Jack Slash shudder and complain about some people taking things too far.
Our little warlord comforted a crying girl.
Local administrators tried to screw over and/or blackmail Taylor.
And, inititally at least, Taylor didn't even consider contacting anyone for help.
So, basically, Taylor was still acting like Taylor.
The end of the chapter was actually the most interesting for me. Numerous fanfics and fanon have distorted my perception of Taylor and the Undersiders but it seems like, in particular, the relationship between Lisa and Taylor might have been slightly altered from canon.
Lisa's situation with Coil has significantly changed ("No nukes, Joe! I don't care if you are using dimensional alteration or reality shifting to prevent fallout!") which I think has altered her relationship with Taylor.
Meanwhile, Taylor seems to have not "gone native" to the same degree in her undercover infiltration of the Undersiders.
She has reconnected to and/or trusts her dad enough to take the copies of Blackwells papers to him (rather than Survey or Lisa) which seems to indicate that she is less likely to just abandon and ignore him.
‐-----
Regarding help from Joe, one of Taylor's remaining limitations as a cape is movement. How long until she asks for assistance with transportation? She might be envisioning a motorbike, jetpack, teleportation or even a swarm-form but hesitate to ask for anything after seeing Aisha prance by on her unicorn. (Also, jealousy?)
Speaking of transportation, Joe has started to use teleportation a lot in recent chapters. I predict that he'll casually include an emergency Beam Me Home function into the Undersiders' watches soon.
Grue will panic at the realization that, as long as he is wearing the watch, he can't escape the debt owed to Apeiron.
Lisa will realize that Joe is continuing to progress toward omniscience, omnipresent, and omnipotent at a terrifying rate.
And Taylor will somehow figure out how to weaponize it. Teleport away a section of an opponent? Redirect the arrival point into an isolated area then attach spiderwebs to surrounding buildings for massive AoE attacks? All hail the queen of escalation! (Yeah, I can definitely imagine Taylor redirecting the target location to the boat graveyard, attaching spiderlines throughout Coil's underground base during a battle with the Travelers, then transporting huge sections of the base out into the bay.)
Also, if Taylor can extend her durability via webbing attachments can she effectively mimic the Siberian in providing invulnerability to allies and vehicles?

Fantastic analyze! You explained it very good. I can see what you mean; how she completely blocks out everything Greg mentions about her cape ID and its lethal (for her) implications, how Taylor's relationships is different than in canon, how she's still with her family and how she completely misses why Joe has a lock behind any weapons inside of her watch.
At this rate I'll just give up my hope that Lady Kephri won't go full doomguy in combo magitech armor and weaponry. It seems to be a lost case.

Taytay: "So I did my mission, right ?"
Joe: "...no, this was a minor sidequest"
Taylor still see herself as an undercover hero with a super important mission (e.g. her at the start of canon) for two reasons :
- It's only been 17 days since the start of the story. People don't really change in 17 days. Unless they get a bunch of perks I guess.
- If her mission is bollocks (spoiler: it is, Apeiron already knows who Coil is), then she pushed a super-tinker to the dark side for no reason. It's not a fail, it's an epic fail.
