[X] Taylor Plan, Ducats
-[X] Ducats' fourth dream sequence
--[X] When Taylor falls asleep she will appear in a small dark cell. In the cell there sits a lady with blonde hair filled with yellow feathers, she is bound up and down in restraint looking like something more fit for an elephant than a human. The woman is crying the best she can through the elaborate gag preventing her from making any intelligible sounds. Taylor looks at her for a while wondering what she did for this to happen to her.
--[X] When she begins to look around again she will find a door that was not there before, on the door is a plaque with "Past" written on it. Her curiosity piqued Taylor goes up to the door and opens it. On the other side of the door she finds an expensive dressing room, with the same lady from the cell. She is dressed in pretty clothing and her hair is done is a good looking way. She looks exhausted, but happy. Taylor goes through the door to get a better look at the room and the woman. As she passes the doorframe the door slams shut behind her, when Taylor quickly turns around, and she finds that the door has "Present" written on it.
--[X] After making sure that nothing is wrong, Taylor continues to explore the room. It is apparently one of those changing rooms that you see celebrities use. Taylor's exploration is interrupted as the door is hastily opened and through it a man steps in. The man looks livid and the woman looks surprised by his entrance. The man begins to yell at the woman on how she is ungrateful towards him, what he did for her and that she owes him for all of that. Through the rant Taylor manages to catch that the woman is named Paige. Paige is caught a bit off foot, before she rebuttals saying that they were over long before she got famous and he deserves nothing of what she has worked for.
--[X] This merly enrages the man more and he begins to argue back at Paige, but Paige does not let herself be rolled over by him and continues to argue with him. This goes on for a while and the longer the argument goes the angries the both of them gets, until Paige tells him to go fuck himself. This causes the man to stop for a moment, before he wordlessly decides to take his leave, as the door closes behind him Taylor notices that the plaque has changed into "Future".
--[X] Since it seems like the interesting things are done Taylor decides to go through the door once more. What Taylor finds on the other side is a courtroom. She also finds Paige again, and she is once more in her restraints. She is looking at the judge with pleading eyes. The judge is apparently reading Paige's crimes aloud, once he is finished with the reading he begins to talk about how this has been an irregular case and that he is waiving the three strike rule and sending her to the Bauman Parahuman Containment Center. The dream begins to fade as Paige bursts into tears.
@Vhalidictes can we jury-rig Dream master to give Taylor the sensation of hunger to compensate for the brain not working properly, maybe we could make her hungry for fruits and such so we can give the brain more glucose and such. Making Taylor eat out is likely to not be very effective, but could maybe stave off the worst consequences until she triggers and we can give her body an overhaul.
Also I don't think getting Taylor to think dream about eating a challenger will help very much, the problem is her hunger response so she will likely not feel up to it unless we fix said hunger response the other thing is that fast foods won't really help her, especially since the drain is coming from her brain so she is in more need of sugar, so fruits are the way to go. Another way we could do it is nudging Taylor to make a big dinner (with fish or red meat or other calorie dense foods, maybe with fruit bowl desert or something) as a way to reconnect with him, she shied away from telling him about her bullying, but if they are closer she will likely see that her father would react like in the dream.
[X] Prosthetic was significantly larger than Emote was. You won't be able to hold yourself together for more than a few hours - perhaps half a day. Where do you put all of this new mass? (Note: This will take two continents worth of space)
-[X] South? Bye-bye, Africa and Madagascar! And likely you'd meet up with the part of yourself covering India as well.
Given that we are beginning to run out of space, maybe we should look into researching some kind of orbit control so we can just eat the Earth and float in the suns orbit in place of the Earth (Administrator can into planet!).
[X] Research Plan v1
-[X] Continue working on Basic Host Modification
-[X] Continue working on Focused Research
The reason this is the v1 is because it will likely be modified as omake are made, Basic Host Modification is 146 research points away, so with one research omake on that topic and we can be done with it so I think that its position on the vote will be stable. Focused research might be delayed a turn depending on what kind of omake are made, for example Memetic Proxy Filtering is only 25 research away so spending half a research slot on it should cover it, we could combine this with an omake on Psionics (bringing the cost down to 0) or on magic if we make two on the topic. So if anyone could tell me what omake they are interested in making we can coordinate the research votes so we can get some stuff done. (I am willing to write about most topics, but I don't think I will be able to convey magic in a unique fashion and would only end up as another form of energy and I am unsure if that is unique enough for the entities to be stonewalled by it (unless not!Mystra is the one doing so))
[] Plan Veronica's Winslow visit
-[] Nudge Veronica to pass by Winslow in school hours so we can get a better scan of Taylor
--[] Send a campy of the data we got from the Scan of Taylor to Gaea for analysis
This plan is a blatant rip off of Veekie's idea, but it is a good idea so here is my vote
All these plans are in their first iterations so if there is something that you want just make a post and we can begin making a new version. Other than that I don't have any real idea for how to deal with the other shards as of yet, but I am partial to these:
[] Plan Charge
-[] Let Charge's data run in the background for now.
-[] Stop messing with Charge for now - leave her alone.
[] Plan Negotiator
-[] Contact Negotiator and tell her we're considering restricting Twin. It's host power is consuming too much power. However, the host will likely notice as his power suddenly weakens in duration, and may react badly. We understand that your host is associated and so it might negatively affect your plans.
-[] Insert Worm memes. "In other news, it seems my hosts brain has been tampered with without my knowledge. I'm trying to fix it, do you think two bullets would work?" "You wouldn't happen to know why Broadcasts host group keeps leaving kittens in trees for Zion to rescue, would you? It's.... rather odd, no?" "Does your hosts power have something to do with foxes? There's something about her grin..."
Edit: Also I am for having Traingoo (name pending) make a team if they don't join Faultline.
