The Felyne appeared, I have been waiting forever, woohoo! Ahem, now to read the chapter.

Edit: Alright, having read the chapter I can say things seem pretty exciting. Both the elemental control and the short range teleport are big deals.

Much more interestingly is the Felyne, I'm not going to waste time going over everything Tybalt can do since that's noted in the chapter above but it's at least worth noting there is a new reality warper on Earth Bet (or at least a being capable of using Spiral without personal hangups). An interesting thing that I think will be overlooked is the demigod blessing. If I'm understanding this correctly the berserker mode grants the blessing of Ares, as it was shown in book 5 of the PJO series. This is incredibly powerful, basically guaranteeing victory through a combination of increased strength, speed, agility, coordination, and tactical planning (in addition to anything else that could contribute to a fight or war) as well as providing twofold invincibility by both making someone literally impervious to harm and enacting probability manipulation so that they can't be harmed to begin with.

As a final note, while it likely won't come up since this story isn't dealing with the last worlds in Joe's passenger's jump, the circumstances behind Tybalt's birth in the PJO jump are interesting. Ares, like all Greek gods is banned by Zeus from interesting with the other pantheons. The Egyptians meanwhile have the good sense to not get involved in the drama that follows the Greek pantheon everywhere and tries to avoid dealing with their strange magics. There's some extrapolation that can be done about what time period would have been necessary in order for this to happen, and what that would mean for the PJO timeline but it's ultimately irrelevant for this story. Still interesting to think about.

Joe has figured out the memories are from versions of him.
Anti-Alien Device

"Huh." Of all the things Joe expected to get from the forge memories from a female was not one of them, especially not from a female he knew, and there was no denying who she was, not with the exo-suit Fleet was piloting and the memories that backed them up.

"What's with look?" Aisha asked curiously. "We know your power pulls from fiction is an exo-suit that suprising? Though it is cool it's like one of my favorite movies!" She said excited to see a piece of movie history come to life.

Joe hesitated, still coming to terms with seeing a movie from a first person perspective a female one at that, "T-the uh, the exo-suit came with memories from someone who piloted it, more specifically the most famous person to pilot it." Aisha looked confused but Joe could see the dawning realization in her eyes. "Oh."

"Well at least we know what you would look like if you were a female."

I don't get this. Can someone explain?
 
Personally not a fan of that mote. It's just way too much to process at once. Like, I can see how on paper it would look like a neat idea, but it destablized the momentum built during the last few chapters. Hopefully Joe doesn't dwell on every free mote next chapter because that's going to lead to the compound interest of more motes. I don't even care about the new powers at this point, I'm just too hyped for the future interaction of all the big players in a shitty dive bar.

Holy shit, this is fucking amazing. You got one of the most adorable cat companions out there in the multiverse and you've made it so that he's effectively Ares incarnate, along with a whole heaping helping of supporting powers that each stack on his innate divine nature. Plus his origins in Monster Hunter, the 'verse where mortals skin gods and wear them.
 
Wow. Beyond the Palico(ALL HAIL FEYLYNE OVERLORDS!) all the powers he just got can be viewed as abilities from other parahumans. Teleport from Oni Lee, Weapons and unlimited ammo from Miss Militia, Energy weapons from the New Wave, it just goes on. It is gonna look like he took time to upgrade based on the parahumans he's encountered or scouted. Which is hilarious.

Also Companions. That is a big can of worms(heh) that I won't get into right now as it hits far too much.

As soon as I read the word "Infusionist" I burst out laughing. The Companion is here. And just in time for Somner's Rock too, we have the full team assembled.

Aisha's science lessons were also pretty fun to read. Her being effectively Apeiron's apprentice is still one of my favorite things about this fic.
 
Aisha seems like she's going to become one of Joe's compaions, or is slated too at least. They fit together surprisingly well. And who knows. Eternity is a long time. Things could happen.

"Most people don't even bother memorizing the periodic table, and they typically stop at one hundred an eighteen."

"What, seriously?" Aisha asked in clear shock. "But that's less than half of the transuranic elements."

"Less than a third, and that's still ignoring the deeper islands of stability." I replied.

It's amazing how normal this is to them once they learn physics and chemistry from hyper-advanced civilizations.
 
Aisha basically getting a chemistry Doctorate is funny. Aisha become GIRL GENIUS is even funnier. What with people thinking she is a thinker and then realizing that she's now just that smart.
 
Oh yeah wacky woo whooo pizza man time works beautifully with his old posing, power chord, and new blessing. That's hilarious. They'd think he finally finished his custom Stranger power, ALL EYE'S ON ME! which makes him stronger the more he's observed and keeps peoples attention. That's doubly hilarious.

The SHOWBOAT suite as it will be called is funny as hell.

EDIT: He can even color code the energy weapons to be any color he wants. Kinda odd it defaulted to blue with him. Of course Joe gets Vergil though.

Well. I've yearned for this for most of a year I think. The Palico is here, and will only get stronger as time goes on. Interesting to see he is almost purely a warrior rather than a forge helper. He should balance Jozef's passivity and non-proactive nature quite nicely.

Now someone needs to find the cool picture that goes with "There is power within all things."
 
The strongest non alien being on earth beta,(not sure how the end and scion shapes up) is a cat, and he makes unhealthy milkshakes. I have no idea how to feel about this.
 
I distinctly remember someone in the Discord mentioning that the Forge is a massive troll and that since Somer's Rock is going to be soon, this exact perk would be rolled beforehand for the Feylene companion considering Joe mentioned taking as many Workshop peeps as possible so he wouldn't be seen as an easy target all by himself. That person was right.

On a different note, Apeiron and crew are now the 3rd largest parahuman team in the city aren't they? Only beaten out by the Empire and Protectorate?

Joe, Aisha, Fleet, Survey, Matrix, Garment, Tetra, and now the Feylene.

That's actually tied with New Wave technically, but add in the duplicates and they pass them.
 
He haz a cat now. At this rate you're gonna have a supporting cast that can curb-stomp the entire protectorate.
Edit: how did that typo sneak in there? And why can't I delete it?

"It's…" I checked the locker's label. "He's not a cat. He's a Felyne."

"Hallrooooo." Upon finishing the word, a proud expression plastered itself across his face and he proceeded to dive into a series of cries and meows explaining how happy he was to meet everyone and how much he looked forward to working with us.

what.
 
Also there is a non-zero chance we will get a palico cooking scene at Somner's Rock. What with Palico's hating lesser craft. Palico bartender here we come.

To go along with Aperion just up and fixing the place to deal with his perfectionism. Making it the best seedy bar it possibly could be.
