"Piggot is going to overhear you and stuff you in M/S quarantine."
I like that Ammy's codename was given by Armsmaster while under compulsion to pet her.
Decent summary of the fic so far.
"Take off every Zig. For Great Justice."
Going from point A to point B to point B is how you get to the super-secret gang hideout.
Souta does not, in fact, know any guys.
Bringing out the big guns, I see. "I know a guy who knows a baachan."
"I'll get her, and her little girl, too!"
Let's just say that the kind of concern that has cops following someone around with surveillance equipment is rarely good for the person. Words like "protective custody" and "reasonable suspicion" start coming to mind.
Even if they believe she's being controlled by an unknown Master Cape, it doesn't change the fact that her only confirmed actions before they saw her talking with Oni Lee amount to painting a neighborhood, planting some trees, taking care of a shrine and hanging around a dog whose only real confirmed power is making people pet it.
This is eventually going to end with Scion defeated with the consolidated power of baachans, isn't it.
To be fair, Bonesaw's power is pretty much literally "I'm going to cut you open and root around with a stick, and when I put you back together you'll work just as well as before. Maybe better if I feel like it."
I don't think anyone can be taken seriously when they act like Armsmaster has been acting these past couple scenes where he appears. Ideally, they'd have reported how he's been acting whenever "Good Dog" is brought up to Piggot, who would've told him to get some time off work because he's clearly stressed. Most likely, they'd just quietly nod their heads and ignore his ramblings, and that's what I personally hope they're doing when they're off-screen.
Armsmaster was chasing her with weapon drawn before they discovered the Master angle.
This. Even if "The PRT" isn't angry with her, Armsy is on his usual schtick. This means things are going to be adversarial until he is embarrassed, scolded by Dragon, or Taylor does something overtly non-villainous in view of enough people that he can't dispute it.
Most of Worm fandom seems to assume that the PRT is automatically evil and anything they do must be some evil plan to destroy Taylor.
Yeah, I can see her dad having that conversation.
The man wields a bloody halberd! There is no state where the weapon isn't drawn short of dropping the thing on the ground.
And yet he managed to find a position when Chastized over the com link.
There's still a thing called "innocent before proven guilty." Besides, startling people is a good way to make them bolt.
Or the master's been working on her since she was eight.
Please stop doing this.
Well, there's yer problem.
I'm fairly certain his standard halberd is collapsible and can either be attached to his back, or if it's really efficient, holstered at the hip like a pistol. He does need both hands to drive the Armscycle™ or at least he needs to do so to set a good example even if the Armscycle™ can drive itself.
God forbid somebody gets off their ass and starts performing the basic functions of government in Brockton Bay, since that would make the actual government look awful by comparison. Warlord Skitter could go very differently.
