I would like to remind everyone that Alec is a bisexaul and his response to Joe was "Wow"

When your mental background music that plays to fit the scene is so loud you have to read everything twice. I mean...wow... he did follow through on his promise to Lisa I suppose, the entrance WAS only a bit theatrical, he just probably just didn't take into account the cumulative effects added on by each member of his team lol...

Personally, I'm giggling my head off at the fact that the entire purpose of Uppercrust making a deal with Faultline was just made defunct in moments. Uppercrust did it to help get people on Apeiron's side to presumably make him be seen more favourably and perhaps getting healed, but then apeiron just comes in and completely fucks this plan, that part of the chapter was dedicated to, over by literally walking through the door with a few friends. It's hilarious!
Tattletail evolution.
i Really wanted the author to keep pushing this meeting off because it was funnier to see how many chapters can be made before this meeting

I imagine that many heads will pop when they recognize Tetra's role in that fight. If Alec can recongize her then many other can do that too. Not to mention he also noticed Apeiron's red hair lock is exactly the same color as hellish creature, the same color from that fight.
It can be everything from bio tinker creations to monster capes that are depended on other to power up.

I don't think you need to be gay or bisexual to feel attraction for Joe at this point anymore.
He's a literal demigod.
That Mythical Greek influence seeps through, no matter what.
Alec won't be the only one.
Though I'd like to add that Alec could also simply have stated it, because of the new upgrades.
I don't think its humanly possible 'not' to be impressed by whatever Apeiron dishes out.
He could probably create a toilet brush, which you would look at in awe and never use because you feel bad for besmirching it.

Won't help so long as Piggo is the Director, she needs to keep blaming Apeiron otherwise she would be kicked out.
The idea that the City Government will actually invest the money in reconstructing the slum/gang/poor area is wishful thinking.
Also the main costs of the repairs regarding to Uppercrusts payment would be minimal vs the resources needed to make a city sized protection for an entire city so it may not be enough to repair said area anyhow.

I think matrix and accord will get along just fine.
Or the real reason, major projects that are positive draw end bringers like flies on shit and he doesn't want the attention yet. He can already make force fields better than upper crust.

Speaking of Accord wasn't he or a representative of his going to show up to this shindig?
That would make sense as well

I suspect that Merchants are in a panic mode and are looking for their lost annihilator.
Consider it like some Quantum Shenanigans multiplied by Schrödinger's Cat. I doubt Coil's power is powerful enought to effectively split universe into two states, with ability to pick desired one, but it might apply some of such elements and gather data not from real one or simulated one, but from kind-of-existing non-simulated virtual universe. Since in this case Coil gathers data using real and non-magical, non-powered mercenaries, protections do not apply.
I know that Coils power actually predicts then "autopilots" Coils through the actions, but it doesn't mean that it can't have exotic means of information gathering (like starting and accessing virtual timelines).
I'm not sure if he has large scale ones. He has ground theory from Star Treck, but not the tech itself.
Unlikely, he is busy plotting attack on the Teeth and wouldn't have come unannounced - he would have informed Apeiron and Coil about own or attendant's visit beforehand as is proper.
War Incarnate or some kind of Warmaster would have been better. His aspect is War, no battle.

Lisa: Unlike me, Joe is a total fucking loser who uses his power as a crutch. He's unstable and ungodly powerful, but even after everything, he's too easy to push into a social corner.
Joe: Hey, sorry I'm late. Let me introduce my friends - everyone, this here is my emotional support Triumvirate-tier team.
Lisa: FUCK
Would probably fit better an EB fight than a meeting at a bar, but it's what comes to mind.

This is probably supposed to be "extended an arm".
I feel like real progress has been made here, even though I don't think any actual time has really passed... This story always has a strange combination of too much and too little happening at the same time, I love it!
Methinks Faultline's crew will probably be in touch very soon.
I mean he was about a week ago.

That was some really, really good writing; I enjoyed it.
On a side note, I'm wondering how Joe will go about introductions: being intentionally misleading or just lying? Personally, I'd guess being misleading as understatements could be amusing e.g. 'This is Survey, who's got good organising skills, this is Fleet, who can drive well, this is Lethe, who you don't need to worry about, this is Tybalt, a perfectly normal person who's also good at fighting, this is Tetra, who's full of life, and this is Matrix, who likes big robots. Oh, and I'm Apeiron, I make things.'

On the serious side, something like Battle Without Honor Or Humanity. However, what actually went through my head was Staying Alive by the Bee Gees for some reason.

Pretty sure he does, he has atleast one perk that lets him build bigger... Whatever the opposite of miniaturization is. Even if he didn't have that though his abilities are such that I would err on assuming he could rather than couldn't.

I have been wandering, does joe even need the undersiders anymore, or at least show them the same amount of favoritism that he showed before.
I mean in the begining he did give them overwelmingly favorable deals because his shard told him that the survival of the world hinges on Taylor and he was inclined to believe it because of his lack of confidence even though he could out do every single one of them in every department except maybe tattltale.
But now that he learned that his shard is an unreliable narrator, and he has his team/emtional support who again outclass the undersiders in every department, the only thing that he could get from the undersiders is tattletale helping him tread the cape political scene.
A role that could be taken over by uppercrust who has more experience, contact, ressources and maturity than tattletale ever could and has gone out of his way to help joe behind the scene, said help would be the only thing worth joe's help.

I'm really not sure what it is, but something about the Somer's Rock segment seemed unenthusiastic. Not like it was a letdown or something, but like you, the author, were unenthusiastic about it.
If that was the case, I suppose I want to say, don't feel trapped by the hype, if we've stuck with you this long we have faith in you and are interested in your writing style and believe you could make this interesting however you decided to present it, whether you decide to start in medias res or anything.
I'm surprised Regent didn't make a note of whether he could sense a nervous system from Tybalt. I'm also slightly surprised that he couldn't sense an interactable system from either Survey or Tetra, though that makes me wonder what his sechen range does (and, I suppose, whether Apeiron-tech triggers it like he does).

We didn't get a description of how large Tetra is. I started out assuming human-height, but the shoulder descriptions and mink comparison make her form sound much smaller.
