Also, Tecton seeing Clockblocker as this supremely competent, intimidatingly confident, emotionally-mature hero is amazing. The best part is, he's not even wrong; Clockblocker just adapted really well to Brockton Bay going from a smoldering dumpster to a flaming dumpster.
More that he just stopped pretending worm hints a lot at it and ward outright confirms it but Clockblocker is actually really observant which means he's noticed a lot of messed up stuff about the city and the way they do things he just likes to use humour to make light of it and get away with pointing it out.
Tecton, whose head is level with Gully's chest: "Yes, I can see why you picked that, it's very... fitting."
Gully's 8'6 so has over 2 and a half feet on him when he's out of his armour so his head is going to be lower than that.
You know, that book... the promise of such [DATA], that is probably enough on its own for some Shards to spontaneously find religion.
The mental images that come to mind amuse me, very much.
Such a shame shards are incapable of properly doing the rituals to get such data.
If Apeiron has 1 million haters, Vista is one of them, if Apeiron has 1 hater Vista stands alone, if Apeiron has 0 haters Vista is dead.
You forgot Brandish even if everyone else has smelled the crazy she's putting out and have made her stop driving herself into the ground and rest she won't have changed her mind so soon.
So Aisha will finally come clean to Brian?
Also, am I the only one uncomfortable with Gully's new looks and the reactions? How old is she exactly? Also, how old is Tecton? And Garment and Flechette for that matter?
Aisha set it up this way so she doesn't have to come clean her plan is basically get her dad, Brian and Joe together in the gym at the same time and hope the truth comes out.
Gully is unknown exactly but from context she seems to have gotten a vial over frustrations over being tiny. That means considering how long the process is and the means it requires to get them she'd be at least 14 and probably be at least 15 by the time Cauldron released her on bet. Additionally, since then she's spent 4 or 5 years as a ward making it reasonable to say she's at least 19.
Tecton is iffy cause he's a ward but is ward leader so the oldest on his team except that since he was still on it during the s300 arc then he'd be 15 and a half at the oldest. Lily/Fletchette similarly was retconned into being 17 turning 18 this year in an ineffective attempt to make her canon relationship with the at least 21 Parian/Sabah less sketchy.
"Jesus! What do they even feed them in Brockton Bay?" - something like that, I think.
Probably more like what did the boat graveyard do to the water around there?
This puts in perspective how much has happened in such a short time, but canon also had a pretty compressed timeline didn't it?
Yep as in bcf canon starts around the 8th of April and the 15th of May is Levi atking the bay (and Vista's birthday). That's either arc 7 or 8 of worm and is after the bank robbery, all the ABB stuff, the undersiders atking the Gallery, meeting Coil and Coil unmasking the Empire capes. There's then a few weeks were basically nothing happens due to Taylor's mental state before it jumps right into the warlord arc including the nine and Echidna which is in the upper teens of arcs.
That then wraps up and there's a timeskip of about a month before the wards stuff starts including the Behemoth fight in arc 24 before it does a few more chapters with large gaps before it's the s300 arc and gm which for context the last 3 or so arcs of the 31 are with the QAylor stuff happening.
Note that Aisha didn't say that she couldn't do it, but rather that doing it would involve things better off not turned to first thing, like "going technicolor". Given how she interacts directly with her shard using Prismatic Colors, this implies that her shard can do it... only that it's something too complex for her to tell it to do without using another painting as a medium.
It was also that they could tell Gully was on the verge of being overwhelmed so called it a day.
It would be hysterical if Joe goes out of his way to reverse engineer entire Mechanicus cult just so he could ascend to highest rank. And the very next thing he rolls that perk.
I think something along these lines happened after integrating spiritron computer into Workshop systems?
I think it was with Cybertronium since Joe went to a lot of effort to come up with a big ritual to make it with alchemy that he and the duplicates rushed through and barely finished only for the forge to go congratulations have some from a perk as your reward.
