She's an anything intuitive thinker, not just social. But really, it's that she just chooses to be smug all the time about it.

Weird, usually it's the hostest who is the first one there.
Out of memorial or because someone had to move it?
Hey, be fair. it's two blocks, not one and a half.
"the difference being the sudden addition of water, mostly."
"Also, the PRT might go for us quickly."
"I heard Purity was looking for a beau."
Assuming Night doesn't notice, of coruse....

That'd be kinda like not being upset if Alexandria punched out her teammates every time she was a bit annoyed.
Something like those face things they used to be able to see the Silence in Doctor Who?

I thought Aisha was visible through cameras? Shouldn't Taylor be able to see her, or am I misremembering?
Either way, I'm glad this is back!

Yup, it effects the mind, meaning Grue should not be able to remember he has a sis when that effect is up.

Imp's powers are weird. She's not invisible, she's forgotten/easily forgettable when her powers are active. As I understand and have interpreted it for the purposes of this story, that means that in person, Aisha's essentially undetectable, because nobody can remember her presence. In a video recording, she'll be just as obvious as anyone else, because that's after the fact. Likewise Brian doesn't forget she exists, just that she's present. Furthermore, due to the augs being manton-limited (which is why othala's regeneration effects them), Taylor can't see Imp (in real-time) because Imp's power treats the replaced eyes as Taylor's eyes, not as a pair of cameras stuck in Taylor's head.
I'm not sure if this is the 'correct' interpretation or not, but it's the one I'm using for the purposes of this story. (And, really, most of the generalities, everyone understands, and most of the little details don't make much difference in 99% of cases.)

Thanks for clearing that up, I blame the countless worm fics that I've trawled through.
SEEING the Silence is easy. anybody can do it. The real trick is in REMEMBERING that you saw them once you're no longer looking at them. That's what the Eye-Drives are for.

agreed. I mean it's nice, but so much of the story has been about these beliefs that it seems weird to somewhat say "nah, our guys are good". It's something you expect to see more screen time given to, especially with Taylor slipping in earlier chapters

I figure the smarter people in any racist organization get a feel for the real reasons behind it all. I'm not sure I like Othala's reasoning, that one seemed a bit of a cop out and it would have been nice to have one member still stuck in the racist mindset. But Viktor almost certainly knows enough biology to not buy into it.
I'd rather the bad people aspect come from the rest of it. Racially motivated or not, Viktor has almost certainly done some real bad stuff. Othala and Rune probably have too. I'd like to see the morale issues based more in how for those three, standard operating procedure is a bit more brutal than Taylor is entirely comfortable with. Viktor especially could probably make the rest of the team look like girl scouts.

I really like this look into Odette's past, very nice indeed. I can also see Imp getting into trouble with Taylor & Co.; Imp could never resist the opportunity to prank and sooner or later she's going to try something; that's when Taylor's going to nail her.

Pretty sure there is also a distance component to it. Coil had all of his mercs wearing body cameras with him coordinating them to deal with Aisha.

Honestly, I'm just really hoping this doesn't end up with them as allies with the Undersiders. I don't like any of them much- Brian's a thug- a sympathetic thug, but a thug- with little interesting personality, Aisha is occasionally funny but obnoxious, Regent is actually cool, Bitch is inhumane and murderously so, and frankly Lisa is one of the most unpleasant people in Worm, excluding those with a triple digit bodycount at story start.
She's arrogant and sadistic. In canon she turned a kind eye to Taylor due to very specific reasons, but she's absolutely not a good person, and I personally don't find her a sympathetic character.
Now, best case, she/the Undersiders wind up hoisted by their own petard here, and get figuratively crucified by their own mistakes.

Cool, been a while.
If Aisha gets augs, it's going to suck for people with a bounty on them. Or Merchants. Or people she doesn't like. Aisha with augs is bad to fight; she's a fucking ninja as it stands.

I think you're a bit over the top here, but I also hope that they don't become to close to the Undersiders.

Am I like, the one Tattletale fan in this forum?
Anyway, I remember there being a huge cheat involving Othala and implants. Can anyone remember the specifics?

The augs are manton limited, aka, othala's regenerate boon repairs them, so unlike other tinkertech, they don't need any maintenance (in anyone other than othala).

hate to burst ur bubble, in the scene where shit ends with coil (chapter 16.13). aisha is tracked by people on site watching her through screens.

so we should be able to see her through ocular implants.

Not quite the same - remember, said implants are part of 'Taylor person.' Imp's power works on people.
In the example you quoted, it was the cameras (non-people) which saw Imp , and then people saw the input from the cameras.
Imps power works on when people directly sense her. Which makes me wonder about mirrors and periscopes

having the camera attached directly to one's ocular nerve should not make a difference. at all. mirrors and periscopes dont work. cameras do though presumably because of the digital interface fucking with Imp's ability in some magical space-whale way.Not quite the same - remember, said implants are part of 'Taylor person.'

you argument would make sense if the person in the same area as Imp (the laptop operator) could not track her. he was clearly in range of her memory effect, but the camera that he was looking through beat it fully.
im not saying that it makes sense, but that is how it is.
the only possible argument as to why an ocular implant (that we make) would not be able to detect Imp is because it is treated as Human for manton-limited purposes. but even that stretches it really hard when most manton-limited effects are cold countered by barriers made of that which they cannot affect (see: Vista), and again, just looking at Imp through the camera counters her power despite her having full access to the person viewing her.
so no, there is not good reason that i can think of for us to not be able to see imp (and hear via cyber-ears).
