Fragmentation (Original Superhero Setting)

Reader mode
[x] Your mother would bedispleased if you passed up something as broken as invisibility; ask for the cloaking device.
-[x] But maybe a bubble version instead of a personalized one? You'd like to be able to fit your siblings under it.

Very useful for getting in trouble with, and not something we can easily acquire ourselves.
 
Been looking through the science phase to see if I can find anything else interesting. Here's some highlights:

==>Use window (similar to the ones you used earlier) to spy on every major hero and villain group.

You have to specify the name of the group, but you are able to manage it.

We got upgrade by searching for perfection. Upgrade OP plz no nerf.

Apparently, Upgrade is supposed to start off being unable to communicate. Despite that, Upgrade started reacting to us as soon as we started using her (the next day). Does this mean that Upgrade's current communication method will get better over time? Or does it simply mean that we will learn to understand her more easily as time goes on?
 
[X] A you-tailored version of Cherub's crystal wings. You may not be as big a fangirl as your sister, but you'd still love to have them.

I have a weakness towards wings. Not as big a weakness as towards horns and tails, but a weakness nonetheless.

-and it got me curious. @Alivaril, can you tell us anything about these other family members? Or does Evelyn not know much about them?

She doesn't, but...
Alivaril said:
Your parents aren't even on speaking terms with most of your blood-relatives, and one of them (an uncle, Mother's side of the family) has tried to kill you before. He was babbling something about you being the "monstrous spawn of an eldritch horror" at the time.

Hey, what does Upgrade think would happen if her work were exposed to Null?

Would Progenitor be fine with us getting an extra, low-grade power? As Evelyn said, Powers are Forever.

Something like Standard Telekinesis or Standard Durability would be pretty decent.

Time-saver: Unfortunately not. He'd be willing to provide you with technology-based alternatives to one or the other, but Upgrade is already stretching the limitations of stability at her current age. He's unwilling to give you a new Nodeset altogether like he did with Skye.

Wait, Upgrade can eventually grow up and acquire new nodes?

Why don't we ask Progenitor for more details about powers? Maybe ask what happened to the powers we blew up, for example.

For the third one, you merely destroyed their representations within that space. They're fine.

He's outright demanding the use of your "reward" for an adequate answer on the first/second.

Can we ask for a personalized subspace dimension personalized for maximum comefiness?
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...

You could ask, but you don't think he'd give it to you. Dimensional storage is sufficiently valuable that Dragon is able to use it as an effective bribe for empowered children of villains to perform well. Personalized pocket dimensions fall into the domain of a scant few Capes, including the infamous Princess(es).
 
[x] Your mother would be displeased if you passed up something as broken as invisibility; ask for the cloaking device.

Invisibility will help with our inevitable hijinks lots. Particularly if we can upgrade it.
 
Invisibility is good, but I don't know if it's the best possible option. I feel like there should be something better we could ask for. Invisibility feels like something we could get on our own fairly easily.

On an unrelated note, we could totally make power armor that absorbs the energy of most attacks quite easily, just by Upgrading photovoltaic (power from light), thermoelectric (power from heat, and piezoelectric (generates power when compressed) materials, specifically for speed of energy conversion, capacity and durability, and giving them to Skye.

That would pretty much just leave us vulnerable to mental attacks, gas attacks, and exotic methods of damage, if we crank those traits high enough. The first we already have some resistance to, the second is fairly easy to fix, and the last is a broad category, and fairly esoteric.

Even if she does like cute things, Evelyn is not currently willing to be seen in public with kemonomimi. As such, this discussion is going strange places not currently relevant.

In related news, I would like to start on and/or finish the next update today. [/killjoy]

[] A you-tailored version of Cherub's crystal wings that can also turn you invisible and/or intangible.

@Alivaril, would Progenitor give us this?

Probably not. He might be able to give chameleon-ish functionality in exchange for making them smaller, but even that would be a rather noticeable blur. You likely wouldn't have enough coverage for a full bubble, too.

Wings and flight are easy to manage, especially once Celeste gets the hang of illusions and Skye starts crafting, and they aren't that useful right off the bat. A high-end stealth device, on the other hand, is something that lets us acquire more resources, which we can use to build more stuff. The invis device is both a good buy in the long term and a good early item to help us start snowballing.

At last, I can go to sleep. Thank you.

Hopefully, not the bubble version, as I expect Skye would be able to make copies.

I suppose you could count the bubble cloak votes as also being votes for the personal cloak since they are a subvote in which case personal cloak is the clear (current) winner with 9/15 votes. I wouldn't since they seem different enough to be different vote items but then I'm not the GM.
 
[X] Cloaking device
-[X] Specifically not the bubble one. Personal one, which Skye can copy. Or a matched set.
-[X] Check what we're covered from, too.

Because invisibility OP for stealth missions. And pranking.

Not sure why people want a stealth device only we can use, without upgrading.

How much coverage (of esoteric perception vectors) would we get out of a cloaking device, anyway?

You expect it'd only be for blocking the Mark I Eyeball, cameras, and other sensors along those lines. Still, even that is adequate for the vast majority of capes and those with anti-invisibility gimmicks tend to be difficult to block.
