Brockton's Celestial Forge (Worm/Jumpchain)

If the bottle regenerates it's fluid, it would not be a bad idea to drop a few drops into the water-main imo.

The sudden forced immortality of any great population of people is just asking for an apocalypse. Babies continuing to be born eventually causing overpopulation. Authority figures never dying off to make room for new leaders with new ideas. Issues like that go on and on.

Joe better be prepared to completely redesign life on earth if he ever makes a move like that.

I doubt a single drop dissolved among an entire water-main will give the whole city immortality. Will likely just make people generally healthier by like 1% at best, more like .1%

Fate Servant Supplement is on the list and gives Item Construction A++++

I'm not gonna lie, a big part of why I love this story so much is finding out what perks Joe gets next and how they link up. It's always so exciting and the randomness makes it better. This story could've potentially gone in a completely different direction if alternate perks were rolled earlier couldn't it have?

Ya that's also part of what I like about this story. And ya it could have gone differently. If he didn't roll "I am iron man there is a good chance he would have had his civilian identity compromised.

Also if I am not mistaken the author said that he had plans in place in case the rolls early on lead Joe to end up in the birdcage.

Fair. Still probably wouldn't be the most popular move if people found out Joe was lacing the water with drugs without the public's consent. Unless someone is in a state in which their judgement is incapacitated, you can't just go around medicating people "for there own good" without their consent. Even considering Joe could whip up some flawless miracle cure, he of all people ought to understand the importance of choice in these matters.

If he gets to the point of doing that, I doubt he'll be limiting things to life on Earth. Time to head for the stars, baby. Can't wait till he finishes the Star Trek perks, though the 600 pt Star Wars one would do it as well. For that matter, he could probably cobble space flight together with what he already has if he had time for a bit of research.

I mean, we put fluoride and shit in our water, is it THAT weird to include trace amounts of Panacea?

Oh my, is that a bottle of Hesperidean Cider, the immortality syrup? The text on the label is tiny. WHOSO THIRSTETH AND DRINKETH OF THIS, SO SHALL HE NEVER DIE. Heals wounds, promotes growth, cures ailments. Dreams of paradise may come Guaranteed to halt unwanted excursions to the Grey Lands. As per agreement, for post-chain only. That's a bit disappointing.

Like... I don't know this setting, is this literal immortality? Could Joe analyze this and recreate it? Was this discussed before and I missed it???

It does make you immortal and "Heals wounds, promotes growth, cures ailments." problem arises in that that second thing only happens when you drink it, it's not a continuous effect. Though Joe has other means of healing. And that "Deams of paradise" line is an actual side-effect.
Also the Prismatic Lab should contain all that is needed to eventually have Aisha's power in a can.

Same with erudition or however you call the Halo one that gives a jump drive.

That's not the point. People know that fluoride is in their water, or if they don't they can easily discover that it's there when they look it up or if someone else tells them. It's not some secret. The people whom society has put in charge of the water supply have publicly known reasons for adding that fluoride that are not generally disputed by anyone with credibility. At least to my knowledge.

Joe has not been placed in any position of authority by society. Were he to add what he wanted to the water supply it would be at his own whims, without the knowledge or consent of anyone else. If it were to be publicly and legally decided that Joe should be adding something to the water supply, I wouldn't have an issue.

Unless he were putting something bad in there, and his government collaborators only allowed it based on their own sinister agenda. But Joe isn't that kind of person, thankfully.

I was mostly meming, yeah dumping random healing potions in the watermain is not a good idea, esp since the last thing he needs is the PRT coming hard on him for "poisoning the water-main"

The primary healing benefit of the Prismatic Lab perk is 10 minutes of total fiat backed immortality in the candle. The Cider is just a divine tier health potion, but the candle makes death unable to stick so long as you have a method of healing in ten minutes of an otherwise fatal injury.

The Cider at least from how I understand it, gives that Neathly Vitality to you permanently if you drink enough of it in addition to those healing benefits. If I remember my Fallen London lore correctly it would allow one to have it outside of the Neath and survive on the surface if one had spent too long down under.

The Candle also prevents you from getting more injuries during those 10 minutes, so you are both immortal and invulnerable. The only "drawback" is that you have to wait ten years for the candle to regenerate.

... that candle is so much bullshit, it's glorious.

If he modifies the base would he be able to replicate the effect?

Well, maybe if people knew before hand and tested the effects and approved it. It wasn't like some guy found out that fluoride helps teeth and began dumping it in water in secret you know. It would not be a good look to be a tinker dumping chemicals into people's drinking water. Not to mention who knows what happens when you don't drink it and use it for other purposes, such as watering plants, cooking, cleaning , whatever, the trace amounts mixed with random chemicals may cause weird reactions.

Yo, I already agree with you, I was meming.
 
There have been lots of folks excited about Tetra getting woven into a new shape.

I have a question. Wasn't Joe going to let Aisha and/or Taylor use Tetra for some quick results exercising? Joe pretty much said that he got his muscles through lots of exercise in a short amount of time. If I recall correctly, both girls sounded interested.

I hate to admit it, but I'm more interested in Taylor and Aisha training with Tetra as is rather than Joe weaving Tetra. Tetra may be really excited to be worn by either girl.

Let's be honest it would take one really good exercise session to get most of the results either girl would really want.

Tetra is rather young. Joe has been rather careful with all the kids. Transforming Tetra into a piece of clothing would be a major change for her. I doubt Joe would want to take advantage of her and at this stage, she'd jump at being more useful for him.

I'm just not sure if Joe would do it if he actually thought about it. O.k. he can change Tetra into awesome clothing... So what? He doesn't need the boost at the moment. It's more interesting to see how Tetra might evolve by having contact with the other girls than Joe and Survey. She is basically less than 2 weeks old.
