Finally managed to get around to reading this chapter. Stargate sounds interesting, I wonder if Eezo and Naqadah can be alloyed, given his multitude of resource standarisation and enhancement Perks
The good news is, RA is back! Check his FFN profile (FiendLurcher), he is currently editing C26 and will update when finished with the rest. MotM does hit upon similar themes with power interactions and a somewhat more realistic expansion on the more unrealistic parts by smoothing out the wrinkles in worldbuilding
Plecian Tome, journal of a senior techpriest, only reason I remembered was the CF fic over at QQ, where it was apparently the Emperor's. Real TTS vibes there.
Lethe being the weakest in unconventional terms without her Shard makes for an interesting comparison with the rest of Bet, with the addition of her new Shield-Planet, she will have an excellent way to make full use of her alchemy. The irony is apart from Apeiron, she is the most watched member of the CF. I imagine the panic bells ringing when her performance against the S9/Leviathan is shown, not only does she have the standard high-quality power armour with all the bells and whistles, but is a formidable Striker 12+ as well.
Also, I really want Victor's smug face kicked in or humiliated even more, the principle of the Dunning-Kreuger Effect in full force.

That's even assuming he manages to show his face at that point. The man is digging his own grave with human transmutation already and doesn't even know it.
The stuff that would be a problem is there. Be it strontium, various diseases, nanotech or anything else. It just magically through luck isn't a problem. Radioactive elements don't decay somehow, anything dangerous just doesn't get absorbed, ect. Luck. The answer is luck.

lord didn't do this for the fallen london lab, the colors that mess with your mind are still there, would other foods from fallen London that mess with your mind also be neutralized?
Alchemy works outside the lab and now is being studied by villains
ALMA WADE IS IN THE WARP!
clearly the forge hasn't been neutralizing stuff because it's dangerous, why start now?

and a drug that makes you see the future, and nanties that turn people into monsters, and The Force™, and Alma Wade, and the Warp
Those are dangerous though because of their purpose. The colors are supposed to be dangerous. The alchemy is supposed to be learnable. The food is not supposed to cause a nanotech and alien disease apocalypse.

the nanotechnology also wasn't supposed to explode and infect the world, and alchemy was not meant to be learned by having that knowledge taken from your head
you clearly have never seen the Fallen London cuisine if you believe that apocalyptic food isn't a thing, those fuckers eat Eldritch abominations so much they have imitation meat of them
You can consider the Fallen London colors being hilariously dangerous a future though. It's the point. Unless a specific food is supposed to be dangerous, it probably wouldn't be. For example casu marzu would probably have the ability to give you terrible diseases. It's the point if you actually decided to buy that. But if i decided I want blue milk from Star Wars, or Generator Rex food unless a feature of the food is the potential apocalypse it wouldn't be a problem. As for people learning Alchemy, that's because showing someone something is technically teaching.

it's also a feature of those universes, if you live in Star Wars you are subject to the whims of the force and if you are in generator Rex you are exposed to nanites, it is a fundamental part of those worlds
It's a physical reality of the universes that that is in the list, and that reality is there, if you went to Digimon you would have digital food, which wouldn't be physical food, even if it can exist in the real world, if you go to Skyrim the food may or may not be a dream of a god
you can't ignore the reality of a universe because it's not a "feature" when everything being contaminated by nanites is the central premise of the story, to the point the only character free from nanites has to specifically have his food treated to remove the nanites
Yes you can. Jumpchain is a wish fulfillment story device. Especially post jump. It specifically doesn't drag things across unless it says it does. Side effects of items or abilities almost always go away unless it has to do with that things inherent nature. Using the dark side of the force will still have mental effects for example. But if having psychic abilities prevents you from having magic or magic doesn't regenerate without something from that universe, the problem goes away. The question basically boils down to, is it convenient? Along with does it fit the theme of the item/ability/perk. So, is it convenient or does it fit the theme of the food perk to cause an apocalypse?

So basically the food delivery perks can work however LordR wants them to...sounds fine to me

all im saying is that making the food dangerous makes the stakes higher and the story more interesting, and its consistent how the forge has been described/ depicted in this story

Even if they were dangerous they certainly wouldn't even be a blip on Joe's danger scale. Even if there was an option in the menu that could somehow destroy the world in a single hour if unleashed, it wouldn't matter because it's literally just another option in the menu of world destroying threats that Joe has well in hand. That's like saying "What if it could explode" when there's a literal Dyson Sphere right beside it while Aisha's tinkering with nightmare colors on the side. Between all the safety protocols and procedures, quality controls, and sheer number of upgrades of Joe's workshop, it will not matter.
I get that you want the food menus to actually matter in the long run but at most they will just be a quirky digression as opposed to something that'll amount to anything.

I can't see any reason why Edward Larkin's edible tribble variant wouldn't be an option offered by the perk, but the cereal was definitely just a non-canon joke...especially since Edward died under an avalanche of tribbles long before he could have branded his
I think he's hiding the detox to avoid getting hooked again, so he's passively trying to hide that he's lucid from the other capes. Can't remember if he was also the one who was trying to hook up with the one Lost Garden member.

No trying about it, she went up to him at a Merchant party, both Blasto and Skidmark mutually agreed to stay out of it, as long as it didn't cause any other problems, to avoid any 'Romeo and Juliet' BS
Technically, this is not the only time travel Joe can get, it is the only fiat backed time travel he can get. Multiple settings have time travel, Joe could have managed it from several 100 point perks, but they would come with all of the drawbacks of that time travel, making it a bad idea. The most dangerous one by itself is arguably from Tenchi Muyo's SSS because of its built in household limitation.
Remember, the general rule of thumb in Jumpchain is 'when in doubt, fanwank'
WOG from Ao3 is that the detox completely cleared Scrub's system, but there is nothing stopping him from getting high again and no addiictol like effect of breaking addiction. We haven't seen Scrub since Rachel's interlude, so we can't really say if he's hiding it or not.

Taylor weaponizing self healing:
"She triggered that bomb and went through f*cking black hole the bomb generated without missing a beat," Assault exclaimed during debriefing "reformed out of her bugs then fell apart to pass the cage Bakuda built around her magnum opus, reformed again and then cut that device by apparently using atomically sharp spider webs under a form of telekinesis. Guys, I don't know about you, but I'm considering transferring out of here."
"You forgot to mention that Everyone present sans Undersiders opened a brick factory when they saw her," Battery shuddered "and that unsettling pitch black carapace of hers enhanced the effect. She is Terrifying when she wants to be."
"Gives whole another meaning to a 'biblical plague'," agreed Triumph "because turns out a plague with intelligence behind it is another beast entirely." Then he addressed Armsmaster and Miss Militia "Are we certain she wasn't playing mind games with us and all that actually happened?"
"If she is playing mind games, then she fooled even my equipment." answered Armsmaster without looking away from his laptop "My sensors indicate that she was indeed there. And I can say that she did miss a beat while going through that blackhole."
"We need to think of containment measures just in case we come to blows." Sighted out Miss Militia "She can fall apart into her swarm and reform short distance away to pass obstacles like metal bars, normal physical restraintment won't work. We will need some way to sedate her. But if black hole didn't stick, normal chemicals likely won't either. At least not when directed at her.... But may be we can use pesticides to make her bugs lethargic? Normal foam wouldn't work either, may be we can get some modified foam, more gel-like with wider reach and stronger adhesive properties to have her 'glued'? Bugs can be very small, so any cell will need to be fully sealed at a minimum."
"I think you are missing the elephant in the room." noted at that Velocity "She is getting stronger and Fast! If she can do this much now, she likely will be able to 'teleport' by reforming elsewhere by the time we set such a cell. Assuming she won't just slice such a cell apart by magically manifesting supernaturally sharp spider webs. Those bars were bobby trapped, which might be why she didn't slice them."

Please, you know if Taylor can survive a black hole to her face she'll weaponize it by bringing her own black holes. Or at the very least, her own explosives.

I mean, is she wrong?
May end up lobotomized rather than defaced given The Truth's proclivity to giving symbolic punishment (taking Mustang's eyes, taking Izumi's womb and organs, etc).

Playing Fallout with invincibility cheats and a truckload of proximity mines is fun 😁
....OR she could strap one onto the soles of her boots and rocket jump! Or do that one Batman thing of putting explosive gel on her hand and explode punch someone! Or go to some Brute and tell them "THROW ME TO LEVIATHAN! I WANT TO DROP KICK HIS HEAD OFF!" while on a power trip and be a red strip of chunky meat before *splat*! Right on Levi's face! Like a bug against a windshield!

Personally I'm more concerned that she would figure out a way to 'share' her healing and will use that as an invitation to use a bunch of venoms a lot more liberally (assuming she didn't find a way to apply temporally conceptually reinforced bug venom).Please, you know if Taylor can survive a black hole to her face she'll weaponize it by bringing her own black holes. Or at the very least, her own explosives.
Black holes and explosives are a bit too AOE while Taylor is a lot more particular to precision. But she definitely would take that healing tech as an invitation to do 'self harm in name of heroics' and might apply something like that as a final line of defense.
