Moord Nag is an asshole mass murderer. That's everything I need to know about their gender.
But thanks for information anyway.
edit: typo
edit 2, much later: Maybe that post wasn't clear enough. That wan't intentional use of the wrong pronoun. Probably, I should've write something like: "Really? I forgot. Everything that matters for me - Moord Nag is an asshole mass murderer. I don't care about their gender, so I make no effort to remember it."

being gendered correctly isn't a privilege that people have to earn by being good. This rhetoric is commonly used against trans people who do a crime or some shit, implying that you're only valid if you're well-behaved. Please refrain from saying things like that in the future.Moord Nag is an asshole mass murderer. That's everything I need to know about their gender.

A) I never made the claim that Anyone wasn't dangerous. That was someone else. All I said was that Coil relies extensively on his status as a relative unknown, with no one seriously looking out for him. This is what allows him to get away with stuff like kidnapping Dinah during the bank heist, hiring the Undersiders and Travelers, etc. - if people perceived Coil as a legitimate major player in the cape scene, they'd start investigating him. I sincerely doubt that a man who takes as many risks as Coil does hasn't left Any breadcrumbs that might lead back to him during the timelines that he Does keep.
B) the moment that anyone with significant resources goes after Most characters in Worm, it's over for them. That's the problem with being one person versus an organization, especially if that organization has solid Thinker-support. Coil is unique in that he's a disgusting person that violates the social conventions of capes regularly. should they learn of the full extent of Coil's actions and plans, Most of the players in Brockton Bay would have cause to go after him. Possibly even a Somer's Rock truce until they take him down.
Why would I forget that Tattletale is a high level thinker? She's one of my favs!
I'm just in sincere doubt of the idea that All of the thinker support the protectorate ENE has access to would be thoroughly stumped by the combination of Coil and Dinah. Thinker powers don't just have magical thinker-interference depending on how strong your power is in comparison to the person you're using it on - it's a matter of power interactions. Pre-cogs interfere with eachother because, as Dinah Alcott said, Knowing the future inherently Changes it. By using a pre-cog power, you inherently make the results that someone else got when they pre-cogged you inaccurate to some degree. The person who's power is "I can instantly tell where someone is from looking at a picture of them" isn't going to be stumped by a pre-cog power. Any amount of counter-thinker power usage is going to involve people Deliberately using their Thinker powers to play Death Note style mind-games with eachother.
Given the considerable resources and parahumans that the PRT at large has access to, I don't believe that they wouldn't have the ability to call in thinkers and normie investigators and cook up some tinker-tech that could At Minimum become a serious thorn in Coil's side (especially in the context of This fic, with dragon having moved her HQ to the bay).
Coil's primary advantage is being mostly unknown because his primary goal is to rule over Brockton Bay, so having people be aware that he exists and is a serious threat inherently makes that harder to achieve. Because, you know, you don't want to hire a literal supervillain for your big important powerful position, so you're going to vet that kinda suspicious candidate a little harder. or something.
slightly unrelated but what if his nebulous connection to the PRT caused him to be called in to investigate his Own criminal operation? and then he fucks up somewhere crucial, and he doesn't have a back-up timeline, because he was using his other timeline to vent his frustrations and anxiety by.. doing murders and breaking shit, or something? that'd be a good read.

Thanks for the omake. I'm honored to have the first one on the site be for my story.
Thanks for the omake.
An update for the next chapter. It is still on track for this week, but unfortunately isn't going to be the length I had hoped. Still longer than recent chapters, but not what I would have preferred to get it to with a weeks delay. This was due to the events that delayed the chapter form last week spilling over into this week, meaning I didn't have as much time as I would have preferred to devote to it. Also, I ended up rolling a major perk that required a lot more work than I anticipated.
I probably won't have time to add an interlude or preamble to the upcoming chapter, meaning I might need to do an interlude chapter to cover some of the perspectives I want to get to before Somer's Rock. I know people are looking forward to that meeting so I'm sorry for any delays in getting there. The best I can do is assure you that the story is continuing and will keep moving forward. As I have said, Somer's Rock is going to be a big event, probably more than one chapter, as well as a turning point for the story. I just want to make sure things are set up properly before hand.

*reads the spoiled part of the OP post*
Brain: Yes! shinnies for our boy^^.
Also my Brain: Wait he also comment that he had more work.
Sorry for the time for said power then
.Still is still awe-inspiring the amount of work you can do in a single week and even more so when we get a update that have multiple weeks of work.

Eh, it's cool. 10k+ chapters is already absurd by the standards of this site. The only fanfic that has comparable update lengths or higher is this bites and that only updates every few months or so.

Damn bro a weeks delay just for a chapter that's bigger than 5 combined chapters from a regular author? Don't know if I'll be satisfied. Just kidding take all the time you need to post whatever amount you want. Well sort of kidding probably won't be satisfied till I've read this story from beginning to end multiple times.

HA! No worries, Roust. We love you.
Take your time and get things squared away.
I'm still surprised on how much of a machine you really are. Putting out this many words this fast? Dear god...
...And the pleasure of seeing what is going to come with this Somer's Rock meeting is going to be immensely satisfying when it hits with your level of quality. I can't wait!

Nice. It will be interesting to see is Aisha shows up with Joe. Or if Garment shows up on her own, as I know Joe doesn't want her associated with his cape identity (not that I think she cares).
One of the big things about that meeting that will be interesting to see (and would likely happen at the start) is when Joe picks up on Victor's power trying to probe him (assuming that he doesn't have a perk to completely shut that down by then).
Kinda? The Bastion requires materials he hasn't yet made. He's on the edge of being able to and could if he devoted some time. Bastion Tech requires Burstones, shards and Cores. I don't remember if he's mad Burstones but a duplicate projected a shard recently and that's a useful step towards transmuting a real one. I'm not sure how long it would take to go from shards to cores though.
The only comparable update speed is from ShayneT I think, and this is absolutely obscene, please take care of yourself my friend, we don't need you to burn yourself, the chap is ready when it's ready.

Yeah, it'd take nightmarishly long. Maybe a couple of days of focused work, and who knows how long that'd be.

The Below (Part 2) (MangoFlan)

Cold... I feel cold...
"The Below (Part 2)"
Dupli-Joe #1 hovered over a valley of dark sand. The sight of writhing faces etched into the very sand unnerved him to no end. Knowing that those faces had probably once been living creatures with their souls trapped in the sand. It doesn't help that, alongside the frankly large beastly skeletons, there's a number of human-like skeletons roaming around with swords and bows and seemingly endless amounts of arrows. They're definitely not Pigman skeletons at all. That'll be an interesting homework to analyze.
However, the soul stuff and skeletons weren't why he's here. His sensors has detected a lump of material deep in the rock that matched 47.8% of the belounium bar's composition.
"Guys, I think I've found a deposit of ancient debris," Dupli-Joe sounded over the network. "47.8% composition match with the belounium sample."
Survey's eagerness was palpable over the network. She was excited in analyzing the raw form of the alloy. Fleet's and Matrix's interest weren't as pronounced as Survey's.
"Analysis concludes the composition of 'metal of the Below' as 40% iron, 5% cobalt, 4% nickel, 0.5% carbon, 0.5% unknown element, and 50% gold. Gold has been noted to be folded into the mixture rather than melted," Survey rattled some facts.
"That composition could be improved," he remarked as he zeroed over to the location of the ancient debris deposit. He was looking over a cliff by a lava shore, and the deposit lay deep in the rock.
As he was just finishing surveying over the site, Fleet shone a pair of bright headlights to herald his arrival. Fleet came over in a dump-truck shaped drone hovering over the land. He was ready to assist in Dupli-Joe's endeavor.
The duplicate held out his hand and manifested a large spinning drill over his hands. It was a bright acid green, glowing like a hologram. "Ready to commence dig," the duplicate announced.
Dupli-Joe sunk the large spinning drill into the dark red rock. Dust and rock were thrown backwards violently as he drilled deep into the rock. With his perks working in tandem, he was creating a tunnel that was almost unnaturally round and clean. Even as he worked, the amount of dust that should have been thrown around were less than it should be. Fleet had his fleet of drones diligently scooping away the waste rock, clearing the space behind the duplicate.
Soon, the duplicate's drill came to a much harder object it couldn't break as easily. Dupli-Joe dismissed the drill and began to examine the object he came upon. It was a metallic boulder with flaky metal coating it like scales. The network was silent as though everyone was holding their breath lest the noise they create break his focus.
"Guys," the duplicate spoke with a gulp, shattering the silence. "Does it look like what I think it looks like?"
"Yes," Joe Prime assuaged. "It looks like a piece of spaceship hull."

Rule 2: Don’t Be Hateful - Using slurs is not acceptable conduct.
Being trap, or gay, or black, or any other minority doesn't make a mass murderer any less mass murderer. I don't care about the gender of terrorists who commit atrocities like 9/11 in our world. Be it male, female, trap or anything else, I can't care less about it.
Please, refrain from saying that having certain gender or gender identity should give one a different approach.
Maybe, but you joined our discussion about that exact question: "Is Coil, by himself, stripped from any resources, dangerous". And didn't clarified that you argue about specific parts of my comment rather than whole point. So I had no reasons to assume otherwise.
Sorry, I don't have time to answer for other parts of your comment now. Hopefully couple of hours later.
Stop: do not do this.

do not do this.
Everyone else, carry on.
Both the use of slurs in this post and the implication that respecting someone's gender identity is contingent on good behavior on their part violates Rule 2: Don't Be Hateful. The word "trap" in this context is a slur and has not been acceptable on Sufficient Velocity for years, and rhetoric regarding respect for someone's gender identity being contingent on them not doing bad things is also not acceptable. Yes, even if that person is fictional, and yes, even if that person is a mass murderer, the idea being put forward is harmful and not something we tolerate on Sufficient Velocity. As such, @Koraan has been infracted for 25 points and received the standard three day threadban.
Everyone else, carry on.
