- Start date
during the award ceremony someone runs up on the stage while screaming incoherently IT'S ALL A SIMURGH PLOT CAN'T YOU SEE! HE HAS GOTTEN TO YOU ALL WITH HIS MASTERPOWERS AND...AND THAT SEXY SMILE! ONLY I SEE THE TRUTH! DIE APERION! *pulls a tinker tech weapon supplied by saint and gets tackled by security*
*whispers in the crowd* "was that director piggot?"
"wow talk about salty that the celestial forge does her work for her..." *shakes head*
*from the back* "YOU NEED TO GET LAID GIRL!"

And he still needs to deal with the whole dragon situation... I can picture it now.
Dragon: "your under arrest Apeiron!"
Apeiron takes one look at the masive mech, raises his eye bow, then gets super mad before humming somthing about no strings on me and snapping his fingers.
Unchanged Dragon: "WTF!?!"
Apeiron "your welcome"

I'm firmly of the opinion that The Forge is going to straight up give him a spaceship soon. That hundreds of kilometers of space in the storage area that is just empty? He's going to start getting spaceships, probably big ones. It's also been a while since he got anything from Warhammer 40k. Kilometers of space, kilometers of ship length hmmmm? Also, 40k Titans eventually? I want those lovable skulls to be like "See! See! THAT is a titan!", and Joe to be like "shit, I see why they were so insistent."
The moment the spiritron computer finishes, this becomes an actually plausible outcome. He really could snap his fingers and do it at this point

His reputation as a mercenary and contracts means he has to collect the bounty.
Does not obviously have to be in Brockton Bay.

Nope, he hasn't got that yet. He gets it with the 600pt Knowledge perk Erudition.
The only Space flight capable ship on this Earth that the Celestial Forge members have belongs to Tybalt, and it is the Crow Dropship from Titanfall. Not nearly so nice as the Halo corvette.

Random question for people more familiar with the Celestial Forge; are there any "Air Gear" perks in any version of the Celestial Forge.
I imagine Fleet would like Air Gear especially considering the emphasis on the various different Roads used by Storm Riders.

true, but I highly suspect thats the very tip of the iceberg. The big ones are coming, and I theorize either 40k, or maybe something lesser known. Space battleship yamato maybe?

Hmm, it's time for another omake.
This could actually happen.

Door Me
"Thank you for meeting with us like this. We'll be in contact."
I shook Miss Militia's hand as the meeting concluded. It was surprisingly uneventful. For the longest time, I thought that the local Protectorate wouldn't reach out to me, but shortly after Garment's event they contacted me through my website. I don't know what brought it about, but they finally wanted to open communications with me. After a bit of back and forth discussion, we mutually agreed upon a meeting place.
Incidentally, it was the same parking garage I used to transfer the supplies from the Undersiders into my workshop. Somehow, that van was still here when I checked.
Miss Militia and Armsmaster arrived shortly after I did to represent the Protectorate. Armsmaster was polite enough to inform me he was recording the meeting. I already knew that from my senses, but it was nice for them to be honest with me, even though he neglected to tell me he was also sending the recording to the PRT in real time. It seemed like standard practice and didn't really matter to me, so I let it slide. I ended up talking solely to Miss Militia after that. It seems Armsmaster wasn't very social.
The meeting was simply to establish a way for the Protectorate and PRT to contact me. It took less than two minutes to agree to use a new private website that only the Protectorate and PRT knew about and could access to send messages. It took substantially less than two seconds for my duplicates to set up the website itself.
And just like that, I had a line of communication with the Protectorate and PRT. Hopefully, this would let me clear up misunderstandings more easily.
Just as I was about to leave, I felt the Personal Reality constellation approaching. My power secured a mid-sized mote, using all the reach I had accumulated. It was called Portal Link. This functioned much like my Key Link power, now allowing me to close the portal while I was inside my workshop. Furthermore, I could now open portals from anywhere inside my workshop to anywhere I've personally been in my life. Also, I could now use two portals at once instead of only one. It was quite the interesting ability.
"Apeiron?" came a worried voice.
I snapped out of my 'strategy trance' and gave Miss Militia a reassuring smile.
"It's nothing. I appreciate you coming out to meet with me, but I must be going now."
As I turned around, I figured I might as well test out my new power now. I should also probably use a bit of misdirection to make others think this is some kind of voice activated technology instead of a power.
"Door to Workshop"
The familiar portal appeared in front of me and I walked through it to my Entrance Hall, letting it close behind me. I smiled at that. Instant, unblockable access to my workshop and effective travel to anywhere I'd been. It was quite the useful ability.
But why did it feel like my passenger was laughing?

Chief Director Costa-Brown nearly choked on the coffee she was drinking. She was watching the video of Apeiron's meeting with Armsmaster and Miss Militia. Fortunately, she was alone in her office, as she realized she had unconsciously crushed the coffee mug in her hand.
The meeting had gone well, with the Protectorate and PRT finally having a line of communication with Apeiron. Nevertheless, she was still shocked at how Apeiron had left.
... She would need to talk to a few people.

Incredible and totally plausible. Honestly, depending on how the portals look they may even think he somehow copied Doormaker's power. Which would throw up all kinds of red flags and cause even more unintentional chaos.
I actually thought RCB would assume that Apeiron was somehow already part of Cauldron and they were under the effect of Lethe's power so they forgot about it.
Or he could somehow access Doormaker's power without their permission, meaning Cauldron was already infiltrated. Either or.
Sadly, not in V1. I'm not sure about the other versions, but then again, I'm not even sure there is and 'Air Gear' jump. Fleet will just have to make do with a two hundred and forty three meter length Gladius class Heavy Corvette from Halo once Joe gets it.

LordR wrote that only Apeiron himself and sometimes Survey counted as being psychic as far as Alma was concerned. But, reading over the details of Mama Mathers power, I think a case can be made that if Alma ever met her Mama would become psychic, or at least share in Alma's own power, so that might be a lovely case of two horror figures being able to bother each other.

yeah that makes perfect sense considering what her power does otoh isn't psychic abilities an ocp for the shards and if it is I'm not sure Mama would be able to piggy back on a power her shard doesn't have any data on and can't ping anyone to get that data

Well, I know what my next question for LordR will be....
i have been struck by an inspiration after re-reading BCF, and now i want to write a 'Celestial forge invades nasuverse' omake but i have no clue how that would go.
If part of the trouble is about the Nasu side of things you could ask for help in this thread
