So Uber is going to try and fix March. Which since she's stuck in her shard involves getting into shard space and apparently FMA medical alchemy. That sure sounds like trying to return someone's soul to their body from where it's chilling in the after life. Not exactly a lower target lol.

Delphine Mertens hair is dirty blonde right? And Tetra civs identity follow the same?
A shame though, Tetra would have been the ultimate redhead.

I could see it is sort of a mixture of both on one hand they will need a constant connection for it to work to track it in the first place, so if the connections moving 10 times slower because of the time difference, it would still take roughly the same amount of real time for it to work, but I could see them being able to do more to actually track it down
Love the bit about Fleet's drone and the Slaughterhouse. He's literally a dungeon master for a larp and the players are actual murderhobo pc's. I'd be annoyed too if my npc's cool backstories were getting skipped.
A part of me hoped that Apeiron could have made a brief appearance to fix Gully so she could have had a literal Cinderella moment with Tecton. Totally unrealistic but the Celestial Forge is already so ridiculous it makes the impossible possible.
And it would have been funny if there was a meet and greet with Apeiron and Survey in the silent auction. That would have been enough to fund the repair of the whole city. PRT would never let it happen but it was a fun thought.

I agree 100%
I feel like giving the spiritron computer more time to simulate and work on the signal would allow them to build something that would work pretty much from the get go.

Too close to her cape identity (very red hair, very red eyes) to do that.
Should probably be "could barely be part of".
I believe "Leering at" would make more sense.
I think "back and forth to" got auto-corrected.
Looks like Butcher's trying to hide how much power the hero's voices have gained recently. I assume no one else in the Teeth know about that recent development?
He had an artificial heart during the meeting, which was probably noticeable to Butcher's cardiovascular sense.
EDIT: She was probably just referencing how he didn't have a natural heart, as a few lines later she mentions how the Celestial Forge aren't as human as they appear.

no she wondered if they were together until tetra was introduced as surveys sister at least that was my read
So with Tetra being part of Parian's show that means Joe's Fortune Power will buff it as well. And here I thought that she was going to go on spiral. Still could but this might help a lot. Also that time power in the workshop just keeps hammering it in that Apeiron has more time than anyone else. And three day tech is NOT three days. Heh.
Can't wait too see juryrigged clusters going off. SO MUCH DATA. The collective probably is trying to find shard "Celestial Forge" to shake its appendages on such a novel DATA gathering method. If only it didn't have everyone on snooze. It would be Really funny if Zion repairs Queen Administrator just to find this errant shard he does not remember.

The ending was wonderful. Tetra is growing up, doing her own things, and finding new opportunities. It was delightful to see. And, I agree with Joe: I did not see it coming.
Is this foreshadowing for an Endbringer showing up in a couple of days?

The S9 pursuit really is starting to drag a bit, I think. Surely with all the presentation enhancements and super-culture knowledge Joe has, he can manage a slightly-more-preemptive strike that doesn't completely freak everyone out? He's planning to take the Forge more public after the S9 are gone anyway, might as well start with a bang?

No, Tetra's civilian identity is 100% a red head.

*inhales of his addiction* Good stuff, worth the wait.
Hehe, petty revenge on Emma, did not see coming.
The Slaughterhouse 9 are being sadistic annoying jerks like always. Funny how Joe's getting in on being annoyed at how long it's taking them to get stomped on with all the people talking about it.
Uppercrust's speech was top notch, real good orator he is was well conveyed. Excellent writing, admire it. The whole event thing is coming across well done.
Showing off the fractures in the groups too was neat.
And it's interesting that the voices went quiet after Apeiron boosted them. Or the Butcher claimed they were. Wondering what's going on with them.

I think it's more that they're murder-hobos that waste a ton of time so they can roleplay being edgy, instead of just killing the NPC and taking the loot.
They were asking if his posing powers applied to the heart or if it was just the craftsmanship perks that inspired the Butcher's reaction. Not why she can see it.
Just irony, it contrasts with the very next sentence after the transition, where Joe talks about how Taylor's situation is distracting.
it -> they
(libations is plural, so the pronoun for it should be too)
barely part -> barely exist as part
(had to extrapolate a bit there)
I -> It
(the first 'I' is changed, not the second one)

Bruh...Taylor this Taylor that and then the potential Drama with Parian in the future, compounded with all the other current plot threads running parralel....There is only one solution, Leviathan come here and end it all please. Free us with humungous amounts of violence and epic battles to the death.

Disagree - libations is plural, but 'it' refers to the alcohol, not the libations, as part of a sizable clause describing the libations. "alcohol so perfect it could barely part of the physical universe" is a self-contained phrase.

Personally, I think mixing up Bakuda, March, U&L, the Teeth, *and* the S9 is damned smart - how else is Aperion actually going to be challenged?
....*ahem*
HA!
Are you saying that all the dry tinkering is being moved to the background and the camera's going to be mostly focused on events now?
*checks calendar* No, we're still three months early for Christmas.

I see the libations are taking effect for the butcher collective. Can't wait to see what happens there. Can't wait to see what happens to a lot of people actually (S9, Coil, Teeth, Uber & Leet who are apparently working with Bakuda and March now, the Protectorate being messed with AGAIN, etc), so great work with the tension and anticipation Lord!
I read this as 'furries' and had to choke back a laugh. I'm not sure which would be the worse fate honestly.

Nah, Fleet is very direct to the point by nature so if they "skipped" the backstory and jumped to the Killer DM's plans, he would only be happier. The one that actually wrote the NPC cards were Survey and Joe so the frustration is from there.
No, the current problem is the opposite. Where instead of skipping the fluff, your murderhobo players suddenly decided to have an improv for a pointlessly extended torture scene while you, the DM, are helplessly trying to move the plot along but. They. Don't. Get. The. Hints.
