I was not expecting Neolithic V under 2 hours later when you said this. Thanks for the chapter.
As was said, was almost done.
This was a wonderful way to get back into this story! Taylor has her first colonist/new friend, and Amy gets a friend/place to not snap and go on a rampage. Win/win! Amy being flirty and supportive makes me squeeface, looking forward to more of that eventually, even if she isn't ready for romance now. I also come with constructive criticism in the form of potential corrections!
Yeah, I figure that Amy would very much empathize with this Taylor, and therefor opens up a bit more than she might otherwise.
In the restaurant, when Amy is coming back with the food she grabbed for Taylor, this appears- without even a dite of edible greenery. Bite
Dite is a Maine-ism, meaning a small amount, like smidge or pinch. I figure tossing some regional dialect elements adds flavor.
During the bit where Taylor is evaluating the volcano data, we have this- certainly more explosive than I was entirely please about
Pleased?
Fixed.
Oh, a shiny! Taylor making 'friends' (Amy is either an enemy or a lover, no between) and with someone who serves as a massive multiplier for Taylor's colonial efforts (being able to turn native creatures into domesticated versions of themselves if she wants, or just ensuring no native diseases can harm the colony), me like! I hope the next chapter is a wee bit faster to come, but this one was worth the wait
Taylor: Healer nice, but befriending/
holyfuckgetherout! is more important.
And I too hope that the next chapter is much faster in coming.
Nice chapter! Good to see Taylor making a (girl?)friend.
Etymology. You want the study of the origin of words, not the study of insects, this isn't canon Taylor.
Friend, for now. Demi!Tay be demi. And the area has been de-Skittered.
Earth Tǩóymos has no humans on it other than now Taylor. Life there will have evolved very diffirently from Bet.
Shaper is pleased to explore new things.
Shaper: [INTEREST]
Honestly it's kind of sad that Amy's response to "homeless Tinker has topical getaway" is "take me with you after I snap." It's even more sad that she is probably right.
In any case, it's nice to see Taylor make friends and I am looking forward to more!
Yeah... Amy's in
bad shape, mentally speaking, and knows it. And as, unlike Wildbow, we recognize that her problems are environmental in origins, the poor girl's taking her out like a drowning sailor being tossed a life-ring.
Yes!! The drink of the gods, life-giving fuel to many
I do love a nice AmyxTaylor

The apathy of the customers and employee at the hardware store is very amusing! thanks for the chapter.
It's entirely in character though. As anyone who has ever worked retail can attest, the company does not pay enough to stop robberies, they barely pay enough to get a proper days work out of most people xD
Also, it's Brockton Bay. This is the politest robbery they've been caught in, so why give a fuck?
A new chapter, yay! Hopefully she can get Amy out of New Wave before she melts down. Though even knowing that's an option should hopefully take some of the stress off of Grumpy Cat Amy's shoulders.
Yeah, having a much-needed life-line will definitely make things easier on the snarky time-bomb. Why, she might even recognize her limits before she hits them! Both Carol and Bonesaw will be very disappointed...
