It's really worse than just dying we see them test the first ever vial and the guy bubbles up then explodes like a Slitheen or a movie monster. It also says so much about Cauldron that while kid Contessa was horrified and had to lean on the path to avoid throwing up the self proclaimed Dr Mother's reaction was to sigh and go well that failed and call for the next one while the room is still covered in gore.
PSA brought to you by the Roman Army.
I STILL don't get what was so important about Doctor Mother that she was an undisputed leader of the conspiracy to save the world and the one to call the shots about most of the Cauldron business. You would think that someone who was trusted with such responsibility for DECADES will be someone unprecedented, just for the fact that otherwise multiple thinkers that were working at Cauldron would try to usurp control from her, but no, it seems that the only credentials one needs to get the fate of the world in their hands is randomly stumbling onto the scene with some kid in the middle of Edencide. And everybody at Cauldron seemed to be fine with this, until Cases 53 took an exception to that. So weird.
FTFY.
All Joe is really doing is uninstalling the Powers, and reinstalling them properly.
Which, from the events of Ward, is a fairly significant ability.
It means he can undo, or potentially even prevent, Broken Triggers too.
Eidolon: "Apeiron, I need your help, my powers are getting weaker."
Apeiron: "Have you tried to turn it off and on again?"
Eidoloff: "What?"
Apeiron: "What?"
Could be very young. Could be an adult woman in the 3rd percentile of height. I know a suprisingly large number of women that short.
She was the founder of it being the woman who stumbled across kid Contessa when Eden immobilised her and so following her instructions was the one to stab Eden in it's vital point. Considering how powers could effect the mind and Eden had effected Contessa and her power they decided she should be in charge since she wasn't a parahuman and then recruited the others plus is the one who actually did the making and administering of vials.

DRG merely adopted Diggy Hole. We of Minecraft were born to it, molded by it. We didn't see another fan song until we were already adults.
Clarification: The song originally was made by Yogscast, a now basically-defunct group of youtubers that were popular during Minecraft Alpha and Beta. Specifically, the song came from their second series during the early betas.

Still crazy they never got another nonparahuman to replace her at some point because she had no qualifications nor was she very good at her job. Her qualifications were basically was being in the right place at the right time and wasn't so incompetent that PTV couldn't prop her up. In fact, I think her ability to trigger should have disqualified her because that means a shard is watching her and also decided she fits the qualities shards want in hosts. It even isn't like she successfully avoided negative mental influence on the parahumans considering how Jack effected the plans of Cauldron.
Yeah, I know how it started, what confuses me is why it continued the same. I mean, again, she just someone who stumbled on Eden and followed Fortuna's instructions. And then suddenly she is trusted to be in charge of interdimensional conspiracy and make the calls that decide the fate of the world? Why? Because she is not parahuman? So is a majority of humanity, and that benefit is questionable as she has Corona Pollentia so for all they know she is compromised too. Because she knows what she is doing? Yeah, no, all of her appearance in Worm say otherwise. So why was she trusted with such responsibility? Sure, at the start, little kid might have trusted her that. But as years went on and more people were recruited, why everyone trusted one nobody with being in charge of saving the world? What so important about Doctor Mother that she was UNDISPUTED? Why was she not just given, but allowed to keep such authority for decades?
I think what happened is that basically Fortuna latched onto the first adult who helped her after everyone died. Then they spend a while figuring out how to get powers and travel to other earths. By the time they really started getting new members she transitioned from the position of being in charge as the designated adult/basically Contessa's mom to staying in charge because she already was. Then just kept keeping the position via inertia and nobody in Cauldron being competent enough to question it.
What was 'important' was "she doesn't have Powers, so Shards can't be feeding her false information".
Except, she is confirmed as "has the potential for Powers", so she has a Corona Pollentia (but not a Gemma) — meaning a Shard already has a connection to her brain, she's just not getting any benefit from it. There's nothing to say that the Shard can't be influencing her through that — indeed, influencing people into situations that are likely to make them trigger seems like it would be advantageous to Shards!
They should really have replaced her with someone who lacked a Corona Pollentia fairly early on. But, that would have required someone involved whose brain didn't contain backdoor access for The Enemy to use.

Maybe because Caulrdon are humans. And we tend to make the same type of mistakes. No matter what powers we have, if we still have our humanity intact. They probably didn't know anything about the situation at the start, and when they gained more knowledge, it was too late to change things drastically. Like, who else should take the position? How much time even left? Not even talking about how their psyche evolved and developed over the course of such "activity". I don't think being part of such a conspiracy would be good for sanity.
This all could be just good old human ignorance and traumas stacked upon each other.

Reminder that Jack was one of the very first parahumans and thus Cauldron has been under Jack's influence for the majority of its existence.

I remember when this came out...
By your gods, I feel old, now, and it's only 9 AM...
I'm not sure why but for some crazy reason you seem to be expecting things like competence and intelligence from Cauldron I suggest you revise your expectations significantly downwards.
They didn't need to figure out how to travel to other earths. Eden's crash tore a ton of rifts connecting a ton of them which ptv can navigate which is how Fortuna approached Eden in the first place.

Aisha: Your tea may taste like hotdog water, but I like the hat. Where did you buy it?
Fortune: Vicenzio's Formale ed Elegante in Lucca, Tuscany. And it's the Number Man's fault we don't get more money allocated for beverages.
Aisha: Well, not everyone can have a private tea field.
Taylor is 16, Lisa is 17, Brian is 17, Alex is 15, Rachel is 17, Aisha is 13, Lily is 17 as well, and Parian is 20-21 I believe?
For that matter, GG is 17-18, Panacea is 17 though her dad said she is actually 16, Missy is.. 12 I think? Same as Dinah, Dennis is 16 or 17, Gallant is around the same age as GG (I think he was the next in line to be Ward leader?), and everyone else in the ward is around that age with Kid Win being the second youngest I believe.
The Travelers are all young adults I think? They were in highschool when they arrived to Bet, and they were a good while traveling before getting to BB.
The only ages I remember of the S9 is Jack's (mid to late 30s) and Riley (13-14, though she modded her body to look even younger).
Pretty sure it was sort of a doctrin that shovel were more often that not more reliable a weapon that guns were during trench wars 😅
A lot of these, in fact I think most of them, are off because work takes place over the course of years. Taylor is 15 for example because she starts the story as 15 and not enough time has passed. Bonesaw is currently 12 I believe and hasn't done the apparent age adjustment yet, that happened during the timeskip.
Can we get a pic of Gully?
They weren't self destructive enough to tell Coil to his face that they hated what he was doing.
That's not really true. See Lisa running a homeless shelter canonically or not wanting the city to burn down here. Hell she doesn't like Panacea but is entirely comfortable with her getting healing in of itself.
Yeah that always comes up whenever anyone's like "but the PRT are the good guys." They left a twelve year old girl stay kidnapped despite knowing exactly where she was.
That's because she has authority over that specific Ward team (something that is rather unusual nationally for good reason as this fic shows).

I see Ziz still tries to sow chaos everywhere she goes
Rule 6: Acceptable Content on SV: Please Do Not Call Minors "Lolis" or "Muscle Mommies"
Thanks for the chapter!
Loved seeing Gully finally get her deserved reward, with the extra bonus of being able to change between Loli and Muscle Mommy... how old is she though? As far as I get all Case-53 that join the PRT go through the Ward program, so it's not an indicative of her age, but couldn't get an idea from her human form description. Hopefully it isn't too much in either direction to make things weird with Tecton... and kinda wanted her to go to the aforementioned date before reporting her changes just to see his shock.
After that, if I'm not wrong in the timeline, Amy should be released about the same time the Forge to finally deals with the S9, right? As Apeiron repeatedly said he would break their legacy, which includes their image, wonder if he will make his... third? PHO post with a video link "Slaughtering the Slaghterhouse" or something similar.
... if/when he does deal with other S-Class threats, hope he puts Heartbreaker in a self-contained Grey Boy loop or something similar. So everyone of his victims can stab him in the dick without him dying.
The ecletic group of capes turned to see the air cracking as if it was a glass pannel, fractures floating in the empty room and growing ever larger.
Gully looked around as Apeiron seemed to check something in his visor, Proto Aima and Matrix just looked confused and Survey's hologram disappeared from view.
"I- Is that norm-" Her stuttered question was cut off by a fat, sweaty hand bursting from the cracks, ripping open a hole in the empty air into a dimension that hurt Gully's brain as she tried to look.
The recently changed Case-53 was paralized by the strange happenings as the Celestial Forge members around prepared to defend their workshop against the unknown intruder, before all were stopped by the hand gripping into the sides of the dimensional crack, and a greasy voice echoed around the lab just before an obese man started to pull himself from the hole into reality
And so the obese, sweaty and very strangely dressed form of Glen Chambers stood in the so far inviolable Workshop of the Celestial Forge, ignoring the world's current most wanted cape group to focus demented eyes on the humanized Case-53.
"Guuuuuully, we have to talk about costume changes and a series of interviews to show off the new look!"

Gully stood in the immaculate laboratory, still admiring her now human looking arms and getting use to her shapeshifting form, the member of the Celestial present giving her time to adapt to her changes, before everyone present turned as the sound of broken glass filled the laboratory.

Parian is 21+, Vista is going to hit either 12 or 13 in like 3 in story weeks and the Travelers are younger than you think since they got dumped in bet in December 2009 and canon is early 2011. Miss Militia and Dauntless are also both at least upper 30s based on when they triggered and how old they were at the time the wiki's timeline has the dates of birth of a lot of people under 30 too.
And it's Garment out of nowhere with a steel chair.
