Ah, Lisa.
You can be so right sometimes.
But sometimes you are very, very wrong.

Honestly, I would be happy if that were to happen, but considering that this looks like it was engineered by Piggot and Armsmaster I dont see this happening.
Piggot because of her hate of capes, especially those that could become S class threats like Joe can.
Armsmaster because he is doubling down on his assessment because his pride cant take that there is a new cape out there that is already doing stuff that completely outclasses them.
The reason why I am looking forward to the confrontation is that I know that the PRT won't back down unless they get Joe on a leash. Which frankly would just be a hindrance to what he can really do.
After all do you think that they would let him build half or the stuff that he is working on right now? Hell if they found out about Fleet and Survey they would demand that he get rid of them because they are AI.

I just read it to the last point yesterday. And here is a new portion of technoporno, stretched over 21k words. Amazing.
No offense, I unexpectedly liked the text, but the amount of technical details and completely unnecessary details per square centimeter just physically kill any possible reading pleasure. I don't think I opened America with this statement - dozens of people have already said the same thing before me. I'll just be another of these dudes, okay?
Also, the amount of words that were literally spent on the Duet of Idiots and Bakuda, to be honest, upset me. Or rather, not so much the waste itself (but this too), but also the fact that at the very end - After All This - they made the Classic Escape of the Villain !! Heck. If during the next one they are met by the protoganist does not shoot them with an annihilator cannon or, at least, shoots them in the kneecaps with an explosive large-caliber projectile, I will be seriously upset.
In the meantime - power technoporno. Hooray?
Seriously, I would be very grateful for more human chapters where human people are human and discuss current things and show their reactions. For example, a PHO head half the size would be a blessing.

You make a good point, a shame though, I find being able to create/do things to help people to be far more satisfying. I just wonder how we can get everyone to cooperate other than using coercion. I feel like Armsmaster will have to concede though, there's no way he can deny that Apeiron is a tinker anymore. The thing I'm curious about is just how many losses the PRT will take before they decide to accept help from Apeiron.
As for Piggot, I'm not sure, she seems irrational until you have to realize that: Villains outnumber heroes by a large margin, the most potent capes (other than Cauldron capes), are either evil or insane, the dude called her insane and has put her career in jeopardy because (from her eyes) he says it passingly without evidence other than having a thinker power.
Although she is making it worse for herself in our eyes, masters are very dangerous and honestly really put everything into question, no-one likes the idea of someone you trust stabbing you in the back because they were Simurghed or told to by some psycho cape that felt like abusing their power
But overall yeah, Joe gotta kick some ass and takes some names if he wants to be the savior of the Earths.

Hey OP?
Just a heads up for you.
So long as Taylor is 15-17 years old in story, make sure the perceived romance between her and the MC doesn't really happen.
Let it remain as a shipping joke for the media.
The instant you even imply MC and Taylor might ACTUALLY try dating or something, the mods on Sufficient Velocity and Spacebattles will shut you down.
I am 99% sure you are aware of this due to comments made in story, just figured I could assure myself you are aware by warning you myself.
I love this story, it is the most well written Worm fic currently being consistently updated, so I don't want it shut down from stupid accusations of pedo writing or something.
So be careful with that, and I am eagerly awaiting the next chapter.

That's easy enough to do. Weld doesn't have any trouble with Ceramics or non metals. Given his alchemy he can just cover his armor in a powder of graphite dust and then transmute it into a thin layer of diamond.

I mean if Joe gets certain perks he can transfer her soul to a real body, that or he can have a glove fetish... either way it's a win.

I think this refers to the time he spent tinkering on his bike while zooming around, on his way to mimic the kool aid man
Ah yes, Apieron the obviously secret lovechild of Alexandria and Hero
Kheprion is a funny as shit gag for me and still gets a laugh for me
Good for Taylor's self-esteem though
I do agree, Joe really needs a PR person because he sure as hell not going to do it himself.
I think it's the one where Joe was racing through the city to get to the Undersiders

Needs to humble him a bit before that friendship to happen as by WoG Armsmaster is a Dick and if he known that Dragon is an AI by the current timeline he would exploit Dragons Shackles and enslave her and his jealous and has inferiority complex to more skilled Tinkers as if Armsmaster still has his canon personality in this fic the MC would be his Worst/Natural Enemy and if by chance that the Mc joins PRT his relationship with Armsmaster would be similar to Taylor and Armsmaster from "A Ghost of a Chance"
Question, why work with other heros? They're usually corrupt and attempting to create them gear will have our MC go through much BS for the good ones. And as for working with armsmaster there is literally nothing to gain there. Our MC is better at literally everything compared to that useless dude. His minimization and efficiency matters not in front of NANITES and all of the efficiency perks MC has. To be honest working with his AI solely to make a battle force and the Undersiders is the best idea, Accord could be a good one too. Might be a bit dangerous to cooperate with him though.
Ex: You made weapons for our heros? Must be a mastering item that will kill us all! Throw it into confinement where it will never be taken out of (except for coil grabbing it) and start slamming him as a master and chuck him in the bird cage!!!
Essentially that is what could be expected.

Eternity with family is also, coincidentally, close enough for Joes definition of hell.
to be fair, he was in very ashamed of what he had been doing. walking around in barbarian chick.
don't forget Coil working to make it even worse by being coil
Yeah, Joe is one of those rare tinkers that would prefer to work whit kid win over armsmaster

You know, I have to wonder if he still might be able to build good will with at least the Boston PRT by rescuing Weld. It could be oddly funny if the BB PRT is always trying to get at his throat while he is perfectly cordial and willing to sell stuff like health potions to the other branches.

I don't think Joe's recognized anything so far. Leet and Uber have, but I don't remember Joe making the connection.
Still, Occam's razor suggests that if anything in the Forge is in universe, everything is.

Unless there is some extremely meta stuff going on, there is one series that is in the Forge, that is not in universe, unless you count the universe itself.
There is the Miniaturization/Efficiency perk from worm itself that basically makes you into Armsmaster.
Still, it is hard for Joe to make that connection until he gets something extremely clear to be from a fiction he knows. I believe LordRoustabout has indicated that if Joe had gotten Engineering from Startrek he would have realized it because he would have plans for a phaser, which is iconic enough that he would connect the dots, rather than just think generic robot rather than transformers and things of that nature.
Unless you have some hints that call it out for you, someone is not going to assume a lot of that stuff would be from fictional series, because there is a reason why fictional series have this gear and it works out to be a very similar reason to why he would want to make it himself.
A motorcycle that transforms into power armor that can then fight on it own? What sort of self-respecting tinker wouldn't want that?
