What... What just happened. I am confusion? Annete, what did you do? Heavy machinery, gulls, sunlight seen through the tank... Is Khanivore!Taylor on the beach? I NEED ANSWERS.
Coil would know that heroes are on Taylor's case, so he would avoid that heat. And the location implies by the ocean. Assuming a known location that's either the Boat Graveyard or The Rig. The Graveyard has no working machinery and is the first place people would look for a runaway tinker that couldn't have gone far. The Rig does have machinery and I'd bet Vic & Amy would contact the PRT if shit got real with Annette. So I'm guessing Taylor is on the Rig in Protectorate custody now.
That would be a pretty sudden resolution to the Annette situation. Also, why would she have forgotten the entire evening if the Protectorate had gotten ahold of her and had her on the Rig?Coil would know that heroes are on Taylor's case, so he would avoid that heat.

My guess is she disconnected at the theater. Or the PRT considers Taylor a tinkertech creation rather than a full person so let Annette do supervised tampering.Why would she have forgotten the entire evening if she was on the Rig?
PRT ENE has its tinker-tech assessments made by Armsmaster.So if Taylor is with the PRT (I could be wrong) then this doesn't necessarily mean she's safe. Iirc Taylor's a copy patterned off of Taylor's brain rather than a transplant. The PRT may well label her a tinker creation and not a full person. So a PRT capture could be an out of the pan into the fire situation for her. Annette was possessive as fuck but at least she'd acknowledge Taylor's personhood.
Edit: plus, if Taylor is declared not legally a person then Annette hasn't really commited any crimes here. So she may well be allowed to come onboard as a hero and keep Taylor. So now she'd have two entities holding her.
I agree that D&D is wonderful, however Colin doesn't know about Dragon. And at this stage is very much toeing the party line with the Protectorate. And Piggot likely has far more say in Taylor's status than he does.PRT ENE has its tinker-tech assessments made by Armsmaster.
Who has certain opinions about the personhood of sentient tinkertech.
D&D is best ship.
according to WB, if Armsy hadn't learned humility from Skitter being Skitter in the leviathan fight, when Dragon came out to him as an AI, he'd turn her into a tool. so...PRT ENE has its tinker-tech assessments made by Armsmaster.

Ah, no, that's if Coil had been fucking with him for a while.according to WB, if Armsy hadn't learned humility from Skitter being Skitter in the leviathan fight, when Dragon came out to him as an AI, he'd turn her into a tool. so...
Armsmaster didn't find out that Dragon was an AI until the S9 showed up. This is quite a bit earlier than that. I'm not certain he would have been so supportive of sentient tinkertech if he didn't already consider said tinkertech a close friend/potential partner, either.PRT ENE has its tinker-tech assessments made by Armsmaster.

Well, that's about the worst place in daily life for a body collapse.
Oh, Abigail POV? Something's likely to go wrong...
Damn, that sounds hot. Nice job Vicky!Holy shit she looks like a lesbian plaid vampire with that winged eyeliner, bite me.
GOD FUCKING DAMN IT. WHAT?!I woke up in the tank, sunlight streaking through a window, the unfamiliar sounds of heavy machinery moving around outside and the calls of gulls.
What?
'The tank' not 'a tank' meaning she knows what's going on, so it's likely Taylor. I'm not going to break down the possibility of this being Abby, since that's highly unlikely. Too many risks of Annette pulling something like that.
Taylor is the only POV that features first-person, for clarity. All other people's POV should indicate who's it is pretty quickly
Taylor paused for a moment. It was painfully obvious that she was trying to think of something witty to say. "... um. I'm an american highschool student. Are you telling me that's not par for the course?""So," Amy said, leaning in close enough to whisper. "Why don't have a brain?"
"You're... uh... a friendly scarecrow?" Chris suggested.
Hate to break it to you Taylor but with lack of brain you could also be tin man."You're... uh... a friendly scarecrow?" Chris suggested.
"Does that make you the tin man or the cowardly lion?"
Tin man lacked a heart, it was the scarecrow that lacked a brain. Hence, the reference.Hate to break it to you Taylor but with lack of brain you could also be tin man.
