Joe hasn't gotten Unnatural Skill: Weaving yet right? Because I just had an idea for it. The two Pantheons that Joe has the strongest connection to are the Greek Pantheon and the Norse Pantheon, both of which associate Weaving with fate. So it should probably give him a boost to his scrying skills.

I interpreted this chapter very differently - Aisha comes across as being completely aware of how far she's progressed beyond Brian's expectations, and is using limited examples of showing off as a way of moderating how much it comes across while still allowing some of it through because the entire point of the conversation is for her to impress upon him that she's changed and she has it under control. Less that she isn't aware, moreso that she has to demonstrate at least Some of what she's talking about in order to get her point across. It also served as a way of reeling Brian back in from the scale of the things she was telling him. "This is Endbringer-level Serious stuff, but why don't we focus on me doing magic science on your magic-science-watch?" It also gave him a conversation point to return to so they can continue the conversation and say what they need to say, like a videogame dialogue tree when you've exhausted one branch.
She's certainly picked up a bit of Joe's exceptionally high standards, but she comes across as more aware of the fact that these standards are relative to the CF than Joe is from moment to moment. Like.. Aisha still goes outside for reasons other than getting into grandiose cape fights or taking an hour break from pushing the limits of magic and science beyond the wildest dreams of everyone else on earth.
I think Joe has really benefited from being forced out of his workshop BTW.
She has gaudy jewellery already. It contains the three-form escape vehicle Joe made from the unicorn body from the post Robot Unicorn Attack rewards, I think hers was the kids jewellery, motorbike and magical robot unicorn as the three forms.
Joe's three-form vehicle is a coin for its disguise, a robot jaguar and a luxury car, if I recall correctly.
Cheers, forgot the specifics.
So no-one will notice if she picks up an emergency backup anti-tank laser then. Y'know, just in case.

Remember, even setting aside her equipment, her power, her skills, her psionics, and her Aura, she still has the nanites. The fullblown "it has everything Joe can throw into it" nanites that she could use to also make new weaponry on the fly. Just the nanites alone is enough to make her a bigger threat than Miss Militia could ever dream to be in terms of "Weapons? Yes."

Could Aisha make a lightsaber?
Pretty sure she already did. Or at least figured out how.
In fact, her very first EVO weapon construction might have been a rune-enhanced
Edit: no, nvm, just a sword. She modified it to add a deflector shield, not turn it into a lightsaber.
And it's her entire Nanite array that has water elemental infusion.

Joe's private solar system sheild should be able to face tank pretty much anything Shown in the wormverse Coming from a parahuman. MAYBE a juiced up string theory and Aisha standing still for a shot, with prep time may destabilize Something, but Aisha is breaking the news to Brian that SHE is the shield now.
its pretty Funny that Brian though Lethe had a limit on duration too. I wonder how freaked they would be if Lethe went on a world Tour and got selfies at all major (remaining) Earth Bet) historical sites.
I'm looking forward to Brian's updated talk with Joe, and in general I wonder when the undersides will realize the true scale of what Joe is, and that they are basically being babysat, rather than being even close to an equitable party.
Tattletale ain't going to enjoy her come to Jesus moment on that. I've been looking forward to the ripping of their delutions for some time. When Joe does his clean sweep and removes Tatlor's reason for existing, (her mission to get Coil) I feel like the true youth of worm's cast will show through, and Joe may need to break out some buisness cards for his therapist...
Is Dinner with Crystal on the next in story evening then? I bet Crystal will want more magic Joe grade acupuncture and eastern medicine, she seemed besotted! No more motion sickness for her! Given how nutso Joe's powerlevel is, I figure Crystal's life would get better simply by having the favor of a God, bleeding that favor into reality.
A scene within Joe meeting her family would be hilarious and awkward, especially if Apeiron is still a "contested" topic in the Dallon house.

Not only that, they also assume that it's not particularly easy for her to share her power with another person. When Aisha can pretty much share it with the entire team with only some effort. Forget having to worry about only one or two members being erased from everyone's memory - Aisha can make everyone forget that the Celestial Forge even existed.
A fucken Angel Arm is what she can pull out if she feels like it, and even a Point Defense System would probably be overkill for a mere tank.
Does Aisha even have access to the Starwars technology that Joe got, or does she "merely" have access to the Star Trek technology he could provide her with.

The only reason Aisha has all her Star Trek knowledge and beyond is because Joe sat down and taught her it.
He could sit down and teach her Star Wars tech too. She's probably smart enough now she could figure it out herself too.
Yes, I know, that was what I was asking whether he did yet.
Now there's a thought; I wonder whether Aisha could sit down, maybe with some of the rest of the Forge, and reverse-engineer a few technologies.
Wouldn't you thank a physician for saving your life? A bus driver for getting you to your destination on time? A waiter for getting you your food? The fact that they are "only doing their jobs" is still worthy of thanks if they're doing their jobs reasonably well isn't it?
They're involved in protecting Ward identities. That means they need to be involved if something with Ward IDs is happening. Beyond that I'm sure Wards have committed crimes before.
Lisa isn't stupid. She knows what Joe thinks of her. She's also increasingly aware that she's being irrational she's just in the middle of a personal crisis.

I.E. Can a Call Bead call upon Apeiron?

But isn't the crux of the issue that the Youth Guard isn't doing the job reasonably well, that they are in fact doing the job quite badly

This is true (Especially in Vista's case).
They weren't. Now they are beginning to look at the situation much more closely and picking up the slack.
The reason for the difference in activity between then and now, that is the question. I suspect some combination of corruption (the Hess case), malfeasance (Coil!), and indolence (lower levels YG coasting by on status quo reports for an easy payday).
Basically the BB situation got so bad it could no longer be contained in the lower levels and someone both competent and senior enough to make actual decisions had to be called in. Quite possibly heads will roll within the YG if the full facts are allowed to come to light.
It was the Aegislash and/or getting a copy of the subsequent Panacea Debrief that prompted them to send someone competent.
This kind of sounds like the lead-up to a second trigger
Nah, not enough stress for him. He's more than likely actually feeling BETTER because he now knows that Aisha can not only defend & fight for herself, but she's got a team of incredibly powerful people backing her up.
All he has to worry about now is that Coil was the Undersiders backer, and he's going to be out of business in the near future.
I think it would be fun for Brian to do the "I know more than you" smug thing to Lisa next time they meet.
"Brian, you're back. Good, I need to… wait, what happened to you? Is Aisha o…"
"When were you going to tell us we were working for coil?"
"What? How… why do you say that?"
"Wouldn't you like to know😏"
