What's this game grid Leet is making is it something like the gamer from the gamer webcomic or god mode/creative mode from something like Minecraft or how admin powers are portrayed in Minecraft story mode?

It's a mystery. We know it has to do with dimensional tech, so the assumption is the name is a TRON reference and he intends to trap people in a world of his own creation. I'm personally assuming it's not actually a virtual world, but a pocket dimension Leet has complete power over.

Okay now that would make sense for him to make to try and beat Joe with.

Yeah, I don't think it's literally digitizing the world either. That's sorta involves putting everything in a Breaker state. Instead, it's a serious Shaker effect.

We know they got/were trying to get data and blood/tissue samples of Barrow and Labyrinth. Their powers are Shaker powers affecting the surrounding. It's also something that doesn't affects people themselves.

The unknown is the scale of the Game Grid and how precise Leet's control over it will be. I think Joe's dream vision might be about the Game Grid.

Edit: Reminded of the Digitization during the Undersiders rescue. So corrected, looks like it might actually be digitization.

Quick question: what does "Strong spark" do?
Click to expand...

Time Constellation
Strong Spark
Girl Genius
600 CP
Rather than having a weak Spark (Like a PEASANT who took the "Spark" Perk, which this is incompatible with) you have an extremely powerful one. You don't limit your scientific explorations to a single topic, but are a master of anything that meets your eye (well, at least once you're in the Madness Place). You go further and farther than almost anyone, and when you get working, you quickly stop caring about things like "fundamental laws" and "nature of the universe" and ... well, pretty much anything. Warping the fabric of reality is a pretty common thing. Unfortunately, it's also significantly harder to get OUT of the Madness Place, and you get sidetracked pretty easily as well. Last week you were trying to get a stain out of your carpet, and woke up with an army of death-ray-wielding mice obedient to your commands! MWAHAHAHA.

They also got some scans from Vista and Shadow Stalker.

Did not notice that. Wow. And, Shadow Stalker is a Breaker. They're probably even collecting more scans on other capes atm. Now it's getting even more worrying.

He had thought it didn't matter, that research didn't apply to him. That was before he saw Armsmaster's scans of Clockblocker, Dauntless, and Battery. Bakuda's assessments of Shadow Stalker and Vista. Capes were a gold mine of data just waiting to be exploited.

Clockblocker, Dauntless, and Battery too. Yikes.

Longer answer: A Spark is a power from the comic Girl Genius.

It does give people who have it the ability to do science centuries ahead. It also comes with a lack of common sense, such as any safety features and a lack of asking the question "Should I?" and more asking of "Can I?" in addition to some boosted charisma so people follow along.

Then the swarm was gone. Cracking her eyes open she revised that thought. The swarm had withdrawn from them, but the pulsing black mass was still clearly visible in the night. Slowly the insects thinned and pulled back further, causing the shape Lady Khepri to manifest from within the swarm. In the scattered light sources of the battle ground Gully could make out more detail, the workmanship of the costume, the flow of her hair, and the yellow gleam of her eyes.

The cape lifted a hand and the swarm fell silent. A series of slicing sounds echoed through the night from the direction of the house, then a sliver shape spun through the air into her upraised hand. The blade returned to her grip just as the drug house collapsed from a dozen cuts to vital positions. Khepri didn't flinch in the slightest as the building fell to pieces behind her.

"We're done here." Lady Khepri's voice was cold as she surveyed the battlefield. With a flick of her blade the swarm flowed over her, then dispersed, leaving no sign of her passing.

LordRoustabout said:
"So, that was Khepri?" Gully asked in the most level tone she could manage.

Manpower let out a breath before nodding. "Yeah, on her third engagement, if I've got that right." He shook his head in borderline disbelief.

"Uh…" Gully wavered before pushing on. "Was that a changer thing? Can Khepri do that?" The image of the nearly bisected form jumped to the front of her mind, along with the way the cape had seemed to meld into and out of her swarm.

"I don't know. Based on last week I'd say there was no way she'd had that kind of power, but…" He trailed off, and Gully finished the thought for him.

"Apeiron."

The man let out a huff, then looked up at the aftereffects plastered in the sky. "Right. Apeiron. If there's anyone who can manage something like that, it's him. Any other situation I'd say it was a trick, or mind game. You get those a lot." Gully nodded. "But with a tinker like that backing her up, who can say."

I just love how badass Taylor reputation is right now. Sure it's affiliated with Apeiron right now, but that's a status that is hot commodity at the moment.

There might be more, but Joe either doesn't have them, or they're so obscure within there setting that I'm not aware of their existence (or I forgot).

An easy-ish one is the Chitauri tech that the Vulture used in Spiderman Homecoming, though that was more portal-esque on account of it making a 'hole' in a truck that he could move through.

Other, more human-tech wise... there's Ghost whose powers are based on pym tech.

A couple of Inhumans, Jason Wilkes who make use of 'zero matter' which is apparently the Darkforce that is also used by Tyrone Johnson. Also magic, but that's not as relevant in this case.

Hey, you mentioned before that because the 600 point Gurren Lagaan perk is considered Post-Jump, that Joe can grant any one individual access to Spiral Power in any given world he visits. Does that mean he can go to Earth Aleph to grant another person Spiral Power or does that still count as the same world since they are both a part of Worm & Ward? Can he eventually visit other worlds like the ones his perks come from? Also, what would Tetra with Spiral Power look like?

Lord has stated that he can give one person spiral power and only one person. He has not decided who.
 
I would say Garment Gloves, she's got real limitations which spiral power would let her overcome. The AI's and Tetra are capable of becoming more than they are right now. Nobody else has Fiat backing which seems like a huge thing when you can only give it to one person.
 
So, for someone who hasn't read Ward, what exactly is the deal with March that she's apparently worse than the endbringers, and what did she do with the shards when she broke the call bead?

In ward March started a event that caused a broken triggers, this means that the person who triggered essentially become similar to Noelle only with the shards in immediate control.

For The call gem incident, March used a power that is basically a omi dimension explosion of a stable portal to Shard space, and that opened up a unstable large portal to Shard space.

Which was her goal. But the mockeys paw comes into affect, as when a portal to Shard space opens a injured cape will get healed by thier shard, unfortunately for March her shard is preaty much a military engineer with only duct tape asked to heal a dying puppy, so she is incorrectly healed.

So she now has the body of a zombie.

Then her mind is replaced with her copy that shards make copies of thier hosts, and her body is being run by the malware version of her.

So she now has the mind of a zombie.
And also can't Handel social interactions very well, so no more ABB like situations from her now.

Aaah. Delightful. Unrelated followup question- did anything actually happen in the latest chapter or is it just more navel gazing?

Gully saw Cape Taylor

Ashia went around healing people and contemplated how if Joe does the duty of saving the world is expected to fall to her.

Edit Ashia was also sent to meet Chen, only spoke a few words though

And Joe got a 600 point perk and is now being moved to the volcano to be healed.

Also I should mention that it has only been about a few hours at most since Joe went unconscious.

A few hours, in 100,000 words. Wonderful. Thanks for the summary, though.

I get why some people would be annoyed by the word count thing but I enjoy it, lots of details and he always says what he wants to get threw in the story.

Also it means that the story will continue on for a long time and that means there be more and I like having more.

Though a large amount of people have criticism about it, but Lord enjoys writing like and does not really want to change.

Though I thing Lord may need to add a Slow burn tag.

I mean, there are fanfics that are over 1 mill, heck I'm trying to read this quest fic that cross DnD x ASOIAF(basically the game of thrones books) and it over 4 mill, and it's a extremely good quest to read.

Edit: what I'm saying is, tho the fic is long it still quite good.
