Not sure if that was sarcasm but honestly this likely literally is what's happened. Something made more ridiculous when you realize the two copies are hitting static locations and are less likely to be misidentified while Joe solos the chaos of the waves.

Yes, there are 3 robots active.
But only 1 was fighting the ABB offensive in the city. The other 2 were going after ABB hardpoints. Joe was just moving around so fast from group to group that people think there are 5-6 times more of him than there actually are. And I love it.
I'm being completely serious. Just in awe of Joe's utter bullshit once again.
How about we don't.
how about we don't.
The fact Sufficient Velocity is a place when someone can feel comfortable enough to share their trans-headcanon is something we're proud of, and we want to keep it that way. It should go without saying, given that we're on a creative writing forum, that people are allowed to have divergent fantasies, regardless of how grounded in reality they might or might not be, and I'd argue the world would be a much more boring place if they weren't!
To that end, the way in which these users responded to @McPuffin Muffin is not something we're willing to tolerate - dismissive, hostile, and bordering on transphobic, whether intentional or not.
Additionally:
Advocating for a group of people, fictional or otherwise, to be strung out by their entrails has no place on Sufficient Velocity. Posting about wishing torture upon others on the internet does not make you look cool or clever, and if the future you find yourself doing so again, I'd recommend you just... don't.
@randomcringyjoke has been issued 50 points and a week-long threadban for a combined violation of Rule 2: Advocation of Violence and Rule 3: Be Civil, whilst @Albert has been issued 25 points and a week's threadban under Rule 3.
That'll be all, folks.

Did you even read the Piggot interlude?
Lord has done a very good job of avoiding that overdone bit of fanon, and during that conversation with Miss Militia, Piggot shows she is fully aware that Apeiron being behind everything is highly unlikely. Piggot just finds the resulting implications worse.
She followed protocols with regards to Any, and then they took on a life of their own because of everything else that happened.
Which wouldn't have been as bad if it had occurred anywhere else, Amy's been in M/S confinement for less than a week.
But Brockton Bay saw a chance to light itself on fire and took it.
Also, lest we forget, a big part of why Amy is still in confinement is due to the researcher who got caught dosing off, and blamed it on the flower Apeiron gave Panacea. Coil then disappeared him...
so I guess it's all Coil's fault.

Oh. My god. This update... holly hell. What a rush. This is my favorite part of every fight; the fallout. And what a fallout.
As always, the POV was simply delightful. So in character, showcasing the ways Apherion impacts everyone around him. Gods.
Edit: Also, people are saying nothing happened?? In this chapter??? Are we reading the same fic, because I believe the apparition of a Vicky that seems well into her character arc, the showing of the consequences on Mew wave and how they are doing, and the gradual change of the public opinion concerning Apherion is a little more than nothing.
Can't wait for the reaction to Dinopherion, and the subsequent case 53 theories. And oh, god. The soundtrack. I sweat, this story is so epic.
I can picture it already; Apherion fallen, his entrails tastefully arranged on the floor. Sorrowful music playing in the background, an execution about to be emitted (my god, the execution video. That reaction is going to be... wow.) People not noticing the music playing is anything unusual until second viewing. (Sir, we need to add another stranger power. 'What's it now? A 'pow' signal every time he hits someone?' No sir. It's apparently... thematically appropriate music. '... you know what? That may as well happen.')
YES! Thank GOD someone's jumped down from the 'blame Apherion' bandwagon!
That's it! Humanize him! (Maybe that way you won't Immediately Try to Kill him next time you see him) (I may still be a little salty)
God, for one Apherion's style powers aren't biting him in the ass. I'm also waiting for SOME people to acknowledge that Maybe, just maybe, if the incredibly powerful tinker who does twelve impossible things before breakfast says he has information on a threat, he just may be right.
Also, how people will interpret Match taking about shardspace... well I'm certainly looking forward to that.
Ouch. I mean, any tinker's ego would be bruised after hearing that... (looking at you, Armmaster) but certain Kid who got chewed out by Apherion and just can't seem to get a Win recently... (I'm horrible and I'm so proud)
Well, sufficient to say, I doubt Kid Win's gonna be having a good time after that.
(Also, picture Armaster being all salty after seeing the video, and a bunch of troopers being all consoling. "Of course the fact that Dragon was in a Kaijuu battle with Apherion doesn't mean anything! No matter how incredibly awesome the fight was, you're just as incredible as him! We're sure Dragon sees it too!") (will I ever let go of my Drapherion-Armsdragon ship war headcannon? Who knows?)
Yep. I can feel Kid Win's self esteem's swift and painful death from here.
Oooh, boy. Well, I'm certainly curious about what people will come up with after THE Kaijuu battle!

Well not really. In his interlude he comes across as incredibly amused because all of this happened withou him doing much of anything.

I should have put in an emoji, I was going for a little humor at the end, but yeah, most of what happened was handed to him on a platter, but he did mention having the researcher sent to Rochester, so to speak, and that sudden disappearance was a big part of why there were so many (sometimes conflicting) protocols against any interaction with Apeiron.

Do you think Apeiron will ever create a fast deploying door system so he doesn't have to look for doors whereever he goes?
Something like, he presses a little cube to the wall or tosses it on the ground and it makes a door for him.

I think Lord stated later on that Coil wasn't having a good time anymore, due to all of the Thinker interference. Which is really par for the course as far as Fanon goes, Coil consistently flips out or at least sets up elaborate revenge schemes whenever anything messes with his power, since if anything messes with it, given how it works in a "all or nothing" type way, outside of collecting information... if something messes it up, it gets REALLY messed up.
The problem that I can see here is, you've got a BUNCH of outside factors coming into Brockton Bay, compounded by March's anti-thinker-ness, combined with Apeiron making people scramble to find a silver bullet to take him out or get leverage over him with, combined with all the existing factions making their own moves which completely veer off the rails from what Coil had expected them to do.
All of that taken together, and does Coil really even have a target to paint on anyone's back that will "fix things"? He might actually enter into a bit of decision paralysis and continue taking things slow (he did wait a long time leading up to canon before starting to make his moves because he wanted enough information first, but with all the new stuff going on...)
On that note, if it gets out that Apeiron can just up and fix C53s, which is liable to happen when he manages to fix someone with as many physiological issues as Gully has, I'm pretty sure that the Travelers won't even bother with Coil, unless for whatever reason Coil convinces Krouse the only way to get Apeiron to help is to be as antagonistic as possible.

Woah. Wait a second. It just occurred to me. If Apherion participates on an Endbringer fight...
He's gonna actually interact with other people. In his parahuman persona.
Holly hell. That's gonna be both SO epic... and and such a train wreck.
WoG is that it has to be an actual door, linked to and actual structure, or it won't work.
Which means he'd need a shed. Or something of the sort. Maybe something more inconspicuous... like a blue telephone box.

You mean, like his FMA Alchemy?

This is one stuff that I always thought that would happen in S rank emergency. He will drop the knives or use his circles made with nanobots and etc. or slap his hands (in the future). And make the mother of all doors/gates to allow a even bigger mecha out with all it gear and support 'personal'.You mean, like his FMA Alchemy?
The kind of stuff that would allow that chest with 99 slots of 99 items.
Another funny thing that probably will happen is that someone will ask where he put most of his time. And for days it kind of have being the lab or the big mecha. If this continues for weeks the public reaction will be interesting.
'oh how much work the little mecha had in total'
'two days and 4 hours'.
'and the biggest one'
'4 weeks 5 days and 4 hours'.
edit: grammar and wording.
So, who else is looking forward to Joe explaining that each and every piece of gear he has can have three different modifiers on when he gets to the sea snails from Splatoon? I wonder if he will get a squid form?
Also a cool thing he can do for garment is to give her that bloody roar machine so she can make Case 53s clothes that they can actually live in.

Doors are usually about 2.5 feet wide, so a 1m by 2m wall, with an outward-facing door, and an interior area just big enough to step in, should work. Shouldn't be hard to set up in just a few seconds with Alchemy either.

The soundtrack perks are locked behind the Signature Genre free perk that comes from the Pagan Science (Symphogear) perk.
So far the only perk that plays music/sounds is:
Rockin' Music (Swat Kats) Free:
When you're going around or doing something awesome, you can choose to have a sick electric guitar riff or a few notes of heavy metal goodness playing as you work in all your glory! ...or villainy. Either way it's sure to sound amazing.
It seems something Joe has to actually choose to do which isn't likely to happen when he's in agony.
It's a bummer there won't be music during the scene but I feel like that's for the best cause it'd make the perseverence and rise all the more raw and awesome.

So! Aperion can make 'Anything' better?
Could he work on Musical Instruments?
I saw 'somewhere' he has Woodworking, would that include a wooden flute, guitar or a violin?
I just imagined him finding & rebuilding a Stradivarius or other instrument.
Can he make Tattoos?
Can he Tattoo Runes on a body? They last a long time, as in can he Enchant it to make a body heal and be youthful?
I mean, can he also do Dragon Pulse Feng Shui?
"The vibe of this area is all wrong! You need a flower pot jussst here!" *Bloop!*

Even so, if it was going off at any point during the fight it wouldn't be playing music. Just disconnected guitar riffs.

He'd need something to keep people from noticing it though, possibly a Scientific Solution to keep people from commenting on the appearance of his 'home'.

I like how I came to see what the staff notice was about and absolutely no one cares. Just immediately, yep okay moving on.
Anyway, I was wondering if say making a plan is susceptible to Joes powers. At this point his could be a discount accord if writing up a plan of action counted as creation

So a midsized car, with Fleet driving around would work for Joe and would be a rather effective way to ensure that no one finds where his warehouse is open to. Fleet is just driving the door in around the city well Joe is inside. I am sure that Joe could easily set up a fake driver in the car that would draw no one's attention to it.
At this point Joe only really using his apartment's closest because he doesn't want to abandon his civilian identity completely. Had Dragon found him, he likely would be doing just that. Have Fleet drive around a car constantly so the entrance is never in one place and just hide in the Workshop until he needed somewhere.
There's no point. The Mods have spoken. There is no dissent.
Anyway, the thing about Joe's powers is that they are limited to what joe believes he can do or can perceive. He's a little spoiled for choice. Remember it took him a while and prodding to figure out that his combat boots had a secondary function that could trigger effects.

I mean, he could walk around with a collapsible sliding door in his pocket as long as the thing automatically anchored itself onto whatever surface it was deployed onto as part of its deployment, too. The actual midsized car is overkill comparatively speaking; you could fit something like that in a coat pocket as long as you didn't care how flimsy the door itself was. Just two telescoping rods with a plastic sheet of a doorway and self-screwing bolts would do the job by that description.
