Joe: I probably have less than 24 hours before I have to confront Jack. How are we supposed to master the impossible colors by then?

Probably not. A standard G.E.C.K. is apparently pretty accurately described as a matter generating fabricator and that's exactly what they've been sold.
G.E.C.K.
The G.E.C.K. (Garden of Eden Creation Kit) is a terraforming device created by Future-Tec, a division of Vault-Tec Corporation, to ease the process of harnessing the post-nuclear wasteland for Vault dwellers. Developed by Stanislaus Braun, the kit contains the basic amenities needed to establish...

The one that can break down the environment and create life is apparently special. So Armstrong is right on the money that they're getting a simplified version of something that would make the PRT shit themselves in its full form.
Had to google what geck was. Wtf is the matrix smoking to give them a device that completely reversed every damage behemoth has done to lands he visited, dont you think simurg would take interest in this situation?
Just realized: keeping unwanted houseguests distracted and not making a bother of themselves certainly seems like something that falls under the domain of Simple Scientific Solutions.

Time of reluctance.
LOL fixing up Behemoth zones. If this had been tested at Chernobyl...
...
Really?...
REALLY?...
lol, you know 35% of the USA is desert?
To say nothing of the potential use in former Behemoth battlefields.

A GECK would be useful for reversing agricultural topsoil erosion and depletion, but most deserts are actually healthy ecosystems.
Deserts are already full of life, just, life adapted to live in areas with low rainfall and humidity. Turning a desert into a forest without also permanently rebuilding the local geology and meteorology would be like building a castle on a foundation of sand, and I don't think the Forge will hand out the technology to rearrange mountains any time soon.

On the other hand, there are a bunch of deserts that aren't healthy ecosystems and could thus use fixing, but I think people might object if we started tearing up parking lots and regrowing the native foliage that used to grow there.
What are you talking about? He literally just got the bombs out of everyone that consented to the procedure. There are more people to go through but they didn't consent to parahuman healing.

To be more accurate, they didn't consent to remote healing. At least some of those would likely prefer to have Apeiron present, either because they worship him or because they are scared of what appears to be an automated process.

The pacing of this fic, both inside and out, is like climbing up a mountain range only to fall of a cliff 😄
It took how many years for the victims to be healed? And then it happend in a few lines, less than a minute in fic time

Another novella's worth of words flew by without any warning; @LordRoustabout your flow is on point as always.
When did Joe get so good with portals? And remote holographic projection?
Anyway what are the odds that the majority of the ones that refused immediate treatment all want the "personal touch" of Apeiron? With much of the rest wanting to see the device removed and destroyed?

Hokay, definitely gonna need a half chapter exposition to understand how does this affect the equation with all the other perks.
He's already a master. What now? Rather than 100% he can do 120%?

They might just have to learn to deal, considering they also object to chronic traffic jams and to addressing the systemic issues that cause elevated car traffic,
It's not like car traffic can be solved by building more roads after all, and trying sometimes makes it worse.
PS: On the other hand, a large chunk of Brockton Bay needs to be rebuilt now anyway, and it might be the perfect time to add in tramways, denser mixed-use buildings, make permeable or revegetalize some of the urban negative space, etc. 😇
There are contermeasures against pre- and post-cognition, but the gig will be up the moment the CF deploys terraforming tech (or something similarly impactful) outside the workshop. I would assume the "domestic model" can generate whatever the facility needs in the short term, but can't directly be used for general terraforming.

No misinterpretation ? This would go against the spirit of Drama.
That day is today for 80% of the victims.
To be honest, getting 2/3rd of a chapter in a month and a half... doesn't help the pacing issue. 😅

Portals are a fiction classic. XCOM have portals (Psi gates) at the very least. Toss Joe's various tech booster, and voila.
Ziz might not see Joe himself (or his team), but she knows there is an Anomaly in Brockton's bay throwing wrench in her precog. She's going to explode as many Ziz-bombs as possible, hoping to catch the Anomaly in the blast (Lord called it "Ziz carpet bombing").

One of these updates I want the Smurg to just take a rocket to the face and get launched into the sun because everyone took their eyes off the Kerbals for too long and they decided their launch window was open.
