The only Entity The Eye is still "connected" to is Eden, who is dead, unless you follow Abaddon-Killed-Eden-on-purpose theory(which has no proof and is just bullshit fanon) there would be no reason The Eye would still be connected to Abaddon. It would likely be geared to conflict, Eden restricted it at the last second, but it's not like a moderator is picking the best path for the cycle.
wait no I'm thinking of a different fic. I swear I'm getting everything mixed up today, sorry about that.
Nah, it's fine. It's all good
Damn a lot of things have been excluded.
The shard network that surrounds the planet is probably set up to scan things to allow for simulation. I doubt PTV can work in deep space tbh. Also, entities don't backstab eachother or anything, the proto-entities warred, and the victor became the entities. They want data to solve the issue of entropy, why the fuck would Abaddon virus Eden(besides Abaddon being benevolent, but as I said, bullshit fanon)??? How does that make more sense than the data (likely sociological data) overwhelming her because of the way it made her realize the inefficiencies in the cycle and all the recalculations she started pulling?
I know, just sad Warframe wasn't included, that game was pretty dang fun. Though not sure how it would fit with the current kit, since everything is kinda biotech
Didn't Eden or Scion predict Aisha's trigger (and everything else they were planning to set up on earth before Eden went splat, but the focus here was Aisha) in an interlude wherein they were still ridiculously far away from earth? Whatever limits PTV has that prevent it from solving all the Entities problems, I don't think that's one of them.
Gourmet cells are ridiculously broken though!
I don't recall that honestly, but it's been ages since I last read worm... iirc those thoughts was right as she was crashing, but *shrug*.
Well, of course not the entire cycle. There wouldn't be a point to carrying out the cycle if they could accurately simulate the whole thing without running out of power or potentially missing an answer to solving entropy due to inaccuracy.
Ok it's a long story but in one AU where Eden survived, or rather a glimpse of a plan/simulation she is planning out, her & Zion are the leaders of the Wardens, and there's an alt group called the Shepards who fight. I don't remember all the details of this plan, but at some point Eden uses a shard to rewrite a capes memories as he starts to figure out they might be behind the endbringers(they were blaming the shepards).
The fanfic you're thinking of is Darth Vader: Hero of Naboo by AkumaKami.
Realistically there are plenty of reasons why she might want him dead or out of the way but in cannon I guess you are completely right. In character she probably won't kill him just going off all the bad decisions they have made regarding leaving other parahumans alive like jack slash. However if you look at it from her perspective realistically, even if she can't see how he will progress it is very likely that apeiron and Rebecca costa brown speak to each other. This would lead joe's passenger to out her as Alexandria to him. If he ever meets eidolon I would go as far as to say that it is very likely that he straight up murders him to stop the endbringers (there is a chapter where joe finds out that he shouldn't kill Endbringers without fulfilling a certain Condition) granted contessa probably would not see this but it is still worthy of consideration. Then you have to really consider that he might just outright attack, out them or wage war on cauldrons base as he seemed somewhat interested in case53's. Now you have to look at joe, he himself admitted when he revealed his original power that he might have been willing to do horrible things to his family instead of walking away without jumpchain and a shard egging him on. Also at the moment scion is being a hero simply because he was asked to, Eden is dead, the cycle is broken and the original plan is out the window. cauldron's entire problem with scion is that he is too powerful and too unstable. Now compare him to joe, if you were contessa would see eidolon dead, Alexandria outed, legend stepping down, cauldron's base(funds and resources too) destroyed and revealed to the world all in order to keep the guy who may very well be Scion2.0 around to fight. Also I messed up so I would like to change my wording, if contessa attempts to kill, kidnap or social fu him and he rolls M/E (Btw I know how unlikely it is that this happens however it would be pretty funny to see the timing so on point)
Logically, the fact that Cauldron doesn't just solve all their problems with mind control strongly implies that they can't. Or in other words, brainwashed capes do threaten Cauldron, get qualms, or break free at the worst possible moment.
If they were that hands on Capes like the Siberian, Lung, or a variety of other S-class threats wouldn't just be running around. Jack is pretty much the only one they have a solid model on being important in more then just (seemingly) his power. They let lots of dangerous and destructive Parahumans roam because they cause more triggers, and are ultimately ones that Cauldron thinks can be levered into usefulness when the time comes. For some of them, that means being secured into the Bird-cage or a Cauldron facility, but it definitely isn't all or most. Parahumans are at their most effective when they can do their own thing and be empowered by thier shard, and this goes doubly for growing Parahumans. Apeiron would have to really go out of his way for them to try kidnapping and brain-washing him.
im pretty sure they let jack run around to make new triggers they didn't find out he was inportant until dinah.
The only flaw with modeling is that it is not perfect as if he was pathable, assuming he becomes a blank. There can always be an aspect of a person you don't account for. Even if you can read someone like a book, just like in real life, you will never truly know everything about a person, and the flaws in Contessa's model that she doesn't account for could pile up to an undesired effect. This is especially so with some powers Joe may get or hide Joe's attitude (just like what he did against March in the latest chapter). Can't model someone perfectly if they hide their attributes or true feelings right? After all, Contessa couldn't account for the Travelers despite PTV or account for certain Eidolon's actions. Without PTV being able to Path someone, she'd just be a discount Accord.
I believe Lord has ruled it so that Joe can only unlock capstone boosters after unlocking all the regular perks within the relevant constellation.
I could be wrong, but I thought they would become available after any constellation got completed with the capstone perks taking the old constellations' place.
