Brockton's Celestial Forge (Worm/Jumpchain)

What is the situation with Chen? He is independent but has a connection with Aperion.

As in, did he go to Garment's gathering at the fashion show as a customer?
No strings attached, and Joe would like to keep it that way. The one condition is keep himself and his family safe, so before any action, he would try evasion first.
He is testing the physical limits of the boost given by the life fiber clothing his costume gave him with his wife outside of BB.
Yes, he's been experimenting and the one-star suit's(with emulated life fibres) effects apply to normal humans as well.

Through, shall we say, vigorous experimentation with his wife.

I didn't understand the scene at first and I though he was just doing exercise for some reason. It clicked when I read that each one was wearing one half of the suit.

Honestly I pity their daughter. Given the effectiveness of life fibers, even simulated ones, I can easily imagine their vigorous experimention lasting for long enough for scientific rigor. The sample size would be huge by the time they're done.
 
So is anyone else worried about the butcher getting killed by Noelle? She's planning on attacking coil with incomplete information after all, and I doubt any info gathering would get them what they need to know about her, or even that she exists besides the fact she's a deterrent.

It's hard to believe they could turn Chariot into access to Coil's base quickly enough to make something like that happen, but story arrangement at least does suggest they might actually get to attack Coil?
 
Something I just thought of, what are the chances that due to Joe's meddling a Butcher clone comes out completely under the control of one of the now empowered heroes?

If they don't get caught by aperion it might. March and Uber are using remote access points to communicate so it probably wouldn't track back to them.
 
Was it petty of me to consider going forward with this primarily as a way to make things worse for Emma Barnes? Maybe, but I could still remember everything she said about Professor Hebert. The fact that she said that to Taylor, and the smug look on her face as she did.
Petty is being kind right now. There are far worst things he could do if he wanted real retribution.

I had held off from actual divine vengeance. There were no curses directed at Emma Barnes. Her family wasn't blighted and she hadn't been transformed into a monster or one of the less popular animals. I hadn't summoned the Furies to torment her. Well, I hadn't built my own version of the Furies so that I could then summon them and send them to torment her. Basically, I had held back on every over the top act of horrific vengeance that was available to me.
Yeah like that. Ruining Emma's life is one thing, her entire family is another.
 
So Lord confirmed that Uber is setting himself up to appointment with certain truth:
March is dead enough that even though Uber has more to work with than in a typical Human Transmutation attempt, it's still going to be enough of a violation of Equivalent Exchange to warrant a visit with Truth. He's probably not going to get hit as badly as Victor, but it's still going to be significant. I'd say something like this would be closer to Ed binding Al's soul to his armor, compared to bringing someone back completely. That's not a direct equivalence to what Uber is attempting, but it's probably on the same scale.

Uber has based a large portion of his cape career on being able to effectively use coping techniques and a certain amount of self-deception. That's the kind of thing that Truth is exceptionally good at tearing through, even without brain modification. Basically, Uber being faced with the 'truth' of what he's done is going to be a very bad day, even without getting into whatever body part ends up being taken.

Just like the appearance, Truth's attitude somewhat mirrors the one it talks to (kinder with Al, abrasive with Ed, straight up vicious with Father), so I'm very curious of how it will mock Victor and Uber while judging them.

As will their family.😝
All proper scientific studies take years, and the best ones are generational, after all. 😇
Seriously though, anyone have any idea what a Goku Uniform might have on a developing foetus?

Awww, kind of shame. I really, really wanted Uber's lowest point (after Trigger) to come from Leet leaving him behind because he was nothing more than March's puppet at this point. That would've been both really poetic and if Uber succeeded before Victor, would've given Victor confidence boost to make his fall even more painful.

Leet chowing Uber out can still happen and be the worst thing Uber can think of. But why stop there? Why not hit him worse right after? Let Truth kick him while he is down!

Also, don't think Victor need any confidence boosters. It is like pouring a bottle in the ocean, doesn't really make a difference. And I don't want March succeeding in any capacity. Except for plunging herself in new levels of suffering, there she can succeed as much as possible.
 
Heh. I just had a funny thought; between illusion powers, shapeshifting, and droid clones, Joe could easily pack out the ENE protectorate roster with ringers if he wanted.
"What's your deal then?"
"I go by Miss Manifest; I can manifest temporary ghost copies of any melee weapon I can imagine and also manifest myself elsewhere"
"I get the name, but why are you wearing a Puerto Rican flag themed costume?"
…later…
"lotta new faces around here"
"Im Lockdown - I can hold things and people in place with my mind, and also generate a field that partially blocks some master and stranger effects. That's why they went with the cost covered in animated padlocks, I think."
"And I'm Valkyrie - I can glow and fly and shoot giant laser blasts from my Lance!"
"Wait, did Chambers put you up to that? Bit on the nose for around here, don't you think?"

Valkyrie was Kaiser's first wife, if I recall correctly. She had a similar growing power as her neices Fenja and Menja, in fact those two are second-gen off of her.

I think that's Glastig Uaine's rebrand in Ward.
Civilian identity Heith Anders, and she's their cousin, but the powers are similar, yes.
Cape name unrevealed both in canon and in BCF.
 
She shook her head. "Nothing in reserve, at least in the core group. Oni Lee took a hit that's going to see him in critical care for a long time. March…" Lisa looked pensive as she continued. "Still hard to read her, even on video, but injuries like that meant she would have been in for a very unpleasant death."

Brian didn't like the uncertainty in her tone. "Would have?" He asked with a concerned note to his voice.
[...]
Brian shifted uneasily as he took in the picture. "That was the bike, right?" He asked, unable to keep his voice steady as he spoke. "The 'not exactly hell' bike?"

Lisa nodded solemnly. "No word on what exactly happened. No sign of March's body. Some witness accounts, but most indistinct. Reports of something tearing up the area, and not much more than that. The Protectorate knows something, but the incident is being hushed up on a serious level. Not one I can get to with my usual channels. Whatever it is, they're prioritizing it on a level as bad or worse than anything else Joe showed."
From Brian's interlude has Lisa known or suspected that something is afoul with March's 'death.'

So this is just another thing that Lisa is hiding from Joe. From where Joe would discover March's continued presence in the city could be from either a Lisa mistake or Survey finding someone that talks about March in present sense. Perhaps Survey catches someone talking about March's plans or getting the timing right, something that would be not possible without March support.
