Brockton's Celestial Forge (Worm/Jumpchain)

Theoretically.
In one of Hawking's papers he postulated that a black hole formed at the beginning of the universe with a mass of something like 10¹²kg or smaller could have evaporated by the present day. For reference, Earth is slightly less than 6 × 10²⁴kg.
We haven't actually seen any of these black holes or their predicted explosive deaths, but there are astronomers watching for "black hole explosions" which will be pretty awesome if/when they find something.
There's a website that has a bunch of calculated parameters based on various formulas including the black body formulas here:

That makes it very unlikely then. At that mass, matter wouldn't just collapse into a singularity like regular black holes - they have to be somehow squeezed into a space much much smaller than a coin with the kind of Schwartzchild radius it would have.
Oh, I'm sure the aliens from Zeta Reticuli have made a few artificial black holes in their time.

Yeah, thats the reason why everyone - PRT, villains, independents, administration, scientists, etc - losing their shit in story. They all want to just get off of Mr. Apeiron's wild ride. Unfortunately for them, the ride is not only never ends, its barely even began.

Good luck. Mr. Apeiron's wild ride does not stop or cruise, it only accelerates.
You know what Joe should inhabit his land with? Danger Beasts. Danger Beasts or possible EVOs. Like he's got a power for turning empowered animals into empowered tools and he's got a bunch of land and he's got Danger Beast DNA and Nanites; probably a good idea to build up a stock of empowered animals. Maybe steal a few from Nilbog while he's at it. Them and add a few psychically active ones as well so that their psychic ability can be distilled down into a medicinal Teigu.
Also including some fibers or accessories of Deep Amber or Energon might allow Tetra to go for longer periods of time without having to eat which would probably be reassuring for her.
Also some marinated and cured meats and stuff would probably be nice to have; just a big old fully stocked meat cellar. Partially for the aesthetics.
Edit: you know what would be ridiculous? Fairy Lettered hand-crafted salt-crystals in a spice-grinder. Just have each individual grain be big enough for the Fairy Lettering to be clearly visible. Hand-mix the sodium and chlorine into sodium chloride.
Edit: if Joe made a psychic being out of its own pyrokinesis, making it keep itself alive and refine itself and its skills as a matter of course and a state of being, and then made it into a consumable Teigu or Shingu, so that Aisha could take it and get the psychic ability as a part of her psychic enhancement, how would she take it? Like you'd probably have a bit of trouble drinking fire; would she snort it? Inhale it like a bong-hit?
Edit: Joe absolutely must make sky puppies. Just make some weather animals out of clouds and stuff. Probably also some sea-life like turtles and whatnot. Probably some squids and manta-rays and stuff. It would be actually adorable.
Edit: some squids or starfish made out of aurora borealis lights would probably also be terrifyingly magnificent.

So, in just a few hours Brockton time or several months our time, Garment will be having her big auction alongside Parian. When Garment had her big meeting with the PRT at the Gym, Jozef ran into March in her civilian identity. (Well, actually, she ran into him, since he acquired a perk and threw her legendary timing off.)
Is there anybody that could infiltrate the Auction as a civilian who would be as impactful to the future story as March was in the past?

I haven't had the chance to reply to the thread for a while, so I just wanted to get my thanks for corrections and omakes taken care of. I'm hoping to get to other comments when things calm down for me, but I've been dealing with a lot recently so I'm not sure when that will happen. Additionally, my apologies if I've overlooked anyone's contribution. I haven't been staying on top of the thread as well as I would have liked.
Incidentally, I responded to a comment about this idea on Ao3. The question of Taylor trying to weaponize the tea set came up, with the most likely mechanism being abusing the effect that ensures there are enough placements for everyone your are serving, followed by declaring her entire swarm to be guests and burying her enemies under an avalanche of indestructible porcelain.
Thanks for the omake.

Thanks for the meme. I don't know how Wham lines for major perks became a thing in this fic, but I'm glad people enjoy them.
The latest of my Meme-ifications of Wham Lines. As always, I had about four before I found one I liked. At some point, I may do a reread and do up memes for others I haven't already. When I do, I'll toss up a collection post or two.

Thanks for the omake. Like other posters have states, I too was relieved to find out this had nothing to do with Fallen London. Candle lore in that setting is a very deep well.

Damn it. That sounds exactly like something she would do. She could one shot most non-brute capes with that trick, and severely hinder the brutes too. What would be even worse is if she constantly summoned and unsummoned the tea set like that, reburying people over and over.

How far have I fell down into this deep deep sea
It probably also works as an unstoppable homing boomerang and dragon decapitation device, and a mode of transport.
The thought of Skitter rail-grinding down a set of stairs and then preforming a midair Aegislash amuses me more than it should.
Something to note is that shards might be able to be broken down into smaller pieces such as Vicky's shard counting as multiple "people" for the teacup because iirc Vicky's shard is like an amalgam.
However given the modular/recursive nature of shards this might be applicable to a large degree for every shard.
That way Taylor might not even need to count her swarm as guests and instead count the shard of the parahuman as a guest.
Even if that doesn't work I feel like if a shard was declared a guest, given the size of shards and the magical nature of the tea set, that it would spawn 1 GIANT tea cup in order to be properly scaled for the shard, which could be useful.

Given the nature of [Queen] it would probably be able to optimize a partition for self-partitioning for the purpose of counting as as many targets as possible.
Edit: probably a unavoidably potential function of a lot of Shards actually.
Edit: ones like Queen would obviously be better then average at it but a more specialized one like Crusaders would probably be better then even that.

Here's a thing
In the dead of night, when the world's asleep,
There's a place where heroes rise to keep,
Their city safe from villains' schemes,
In the darkness, their light beams.
Chorus:
At the ungodly hour,
They fight with all their power,
Defenders of the weak,
In the shadows they seek.
Tetra, the Life Fibre entity,
A power that few could foresee,
With her threads, she weaves and binds,
The fate of those she designs.
Verse 2:
The forge is lit, the hammers sound,
As they craft weapons to astound,
Their enemies with steel and fire,
Their strength and courage never tire.
Chorus:
At the ungodly hour,
They fight with all their power,
Defenders of the weak,
In the shadows they seek.
Survey, the program that never sleeps,
With sensors and cameras that always peep,
She monitors the data with sharp precision,
Tracking the world with utmost decision.
Verse 3:
The villains strike, but they don't fear,
They face their foes with honor clear,
Their powers clash, to battle they ride,
The heroes fight to turn the tide..
Chorus:
At the ungodly hour,
They fight with all their power,
Defenders of the weak,
In the shadows they seek.
Fleet, the pilot with a daring plan,
A reckless move, a final stand,
With FTL engines set to crash,
He strikes the enemy in a flash.
Verse 4:
The night is long, but they stand tall,
Their will to protect, never falls,
The dawn will come, the dawn will rise,
Their mission done, they'll take a prize.
Chorus:
At the ungodly hour,
They fight with all their power,
Defenders of the weak,
In the shadows they seek.
Lethe, the hero of the aftermath,
With strength and courage that stays the path,
She finds Apeiron, wounded and lost,
Determined to save him at any cost.
Damn just missed The Boss

Jozef's "passenger" represents Worm fandom, and I'm not sure they know alot about Ward exclusive characters, esp. not to recognize them on sight in their civvies...

I don't think the Passenger knows people on sight; only by name, so far.
Doesn't victor stealing Alchemy knowledge from Aisha constitute a lost for the entire celestial forge (since obviously it'll cause problems in the future)thus meaning that Katsu jenkin didnt work?

In the timeframe/conditions Victor had, it was more like copying some of the basic knowledge, the more sight, proximity, and active use of the skill he's stealing, the more and faster he can drain. Any knowledge Victor takes will naturally return, it's just that when he takes past a certain point it's faster to relearn than wait for the skills to regenerate.
As long as Aisha didn't do any higher level alchemy for like a day after the meeting, she probably wouldn't even notice.
If Victor had been able to skill-drain while he was watching Aisha preform some lengthy Alchemy, however, the difference would have been picked up on.
wog was Victor in his brief opportunity homed in on how to trigger circles and just barely got it. What that means is Aisha very quickly recovered without any long term consequences and Victor has to work a ton out himself which is why he fed the info to the others because he needs to work out the rules and limits himself and wants to use them for it. He is also extremely arrogant that his power makes him the number one undisputed master because of all the knowledge he's leeched from others and is rushing into trying to resurrect the dead which will get him smacked by Truth.
@famfrit @rollobeast
Im talking about the fact that he got anything at all from aisha in the second it took for fleet to blits him and Kaiser to talk To Joe which Activating Katsu jenkin. So either 1 of 2 things is true Katsu jenkin Doesn't work On skill theft (which seeing as losing your skills before the fight even begins puts you at a disadvantage) he honed on to Aisha before Joe even spoke. Idk iirc on we might have a plot whole.
