Hereafter [Worm x Fate/Grand Order]

I will point out that Taylor saw the Thinker's body, and that she talked about the Passengers with Doctor Mother, Bonesaw, and i don't remember who else.
during gold morning one of the capes second triggered and taylor got another trigger vision, except this time, some other unseen cape managed to make the memory not fade, think they actually made it stick to memory, so taylor knows the details of that trigger vision on top of the knowledge of the thinkers body, cauldron, passengers, how second triggers, double triggers and case 53's work and so on. she knows a surprisingly large amount about how powers work.
 
I probably should. I like to think I've been pretty good about keeping everyone straight in my head, but we're inevitably going to get a very big cast just in terms of Servants, so it's probably a good idea to keep a sheet somewhere of who all has been summoned so far.

I highly suggest it. If you want to go the extra mile use a mind map app, to draw out a graph of who knows what, done what, etc. But that's going to get really complicated really quickly. It'd make keeping track of info really easy though once you got it done. It'd be easier if you do it earlier than later, if you do want to go that route. Keep a few copies of it, with staggered save states. If you get too complicated it will probably crash the app, so keeping a back up of a save prior to the crash so you don't lose all your work is a very good idea. But like I said that's going the extra mile and not exactly necessary.
 
Bradamante had almost no presence in the New Orleans plot, so it is only fitting that Bradamante has even less presence now that the need for her in the plot is non-existent.

No Lev?
That's kinda sus.
Oh well, he'll probably pop up later.
In Rome. The final fight in France is against Caster Gilles. The Demon Pillar Boss Fights become recurrent once you reach Septem. After Flauros come Forneus in Okeanos, Barbatos in London, Halphas in America and Amon as Amon-Ra in Jerusalem, Babylonia doesn't have a Pillar Boss Fight and Temple of Time.....it's 8 Pillar Boss battles.
 
And then when Olga asks how they build her a new body, they all desperately avoid explaining... until Romani accidentally blurts it out.
"Don't worry! It's not like we printed your body using the biomass of a lot of bugs and crabs! ...I'm sorry." - Romani, before Olga has a melt down while Taylor pounce on him.

So while it has been address, i'm going to choose to believe that Brada simply went with the twins for glorious food!

Since DaVinci is going to homunculate a body for the good Director, it's probably going to be a good bit better than her original. How many bio weapons do you guys think the crazy inventor is going to give Marie?
 
"Yes," I answered, just as quiet. Like admitting it would summon the specter of Contessa back to finish the job. "I thought mine was, when I woke up here."
Even what she told Da Vinci and Romani was carefully curated to avoid too much depth about things that she really can't afford to have getting out. Taylor doesn't know everything, but what she knows is very close to what the audience does.

Is the power disconnected thing included? Because there should only be one case that indicates something like that is even possible which is doormaker running out of juice.
 
I still think QA was the one to get the first Servant summoning.

But yeah, Taylor telling the full story and them reacting is good, fascinating reading. Also therapy for her.

Right now Taylor is in a position to be pretty mandatory for the salvation of... well... everyone living. So who gives a fuck about her alien passanger.

QA must be fucking fascinated right now though.

Also, looking forward to Da Vinci helping Taylor jailbreak her power in regards to her magecraft. Infinite Multitasking + Magecraft = Scary shit.
 
Honestly I'd be more surprised if Taylor's powers caused Rayshift issues, considering that Shards are meant to interlock functionality, even in plausible alternate dimensions or timelines, and it would make sense that her Power could adapt either by itself or with other Shard assistance

As it probably wouldn't be a bad bet to either presume that this is during the early days of the Network Hub breakdown, or to believe Admin had gathered enough Shards to make a localized pocket of realtive Network stability. Though the latter suggests a more active role background-wise. Which wouldn't be improbable considering how dispersed they are, and that the World hasn't been altered significantly enough to prevent the Entities from ever arriving at all.

Honestly, something like that would make sense. Or some other thing that made this possible.

Contessa is bullshit, but the things she does need to still be physically possible. Severing the shard connection with a couple of bullets was already stretching it. Using bullets to undo the changes made by Bonesaw/Amy and restoring the default insect control while leaving Taylor's mind pretty unharmed seems beyond belief.

I thought that maybe Contessa disabled the human control power with the bullets, and then had Amy just fix things to normal, but wouldn't that have meant no bullet holes at all?

Also why no insect control at the beginning?

Also, looking forward to Da Vinci helping Taylor jailbreak her power in regards to her magecraft. Infinite Multitasking + Magecraft = Scary shit.

Or just wanting to figure out what the thing is, and if it's safe. I mean they are in emergency mode right now, but "alien things connecting to people's brains and giving superpowers for unknown reasons on a global scale" is the kind of thing that should sound a lot of alarms no matter the circumstances.

Can it be trusted? Can Taylor be trusted? Even if Taylor can be trusted, can the thing take control and/or influence Taylor? Can it spread to other humans near Taylor? Can it potentially sabotage a rayshift if it wants? What does it want? And so on.

Da Vinci basically distracted Taylor with the idea of Olga coming back soon, but hard to believe she is just going to ignore this little bombshell.

Ehh, I find it believable that Contessa could shoot out a Shard connection given that it's rooted in the Human end of things rather than the Shard. As in I doubt Contessa would be able to shoot a Shard to precisely knock out the link it has to the Host, rather then knock out the link the Host has to the Shard. Though it is doubtlessly stretched by the bullet-hitting brain matter part, but people have survived worse and the brain is still an adaptable neural network.

I'd imagine the insect control was more a case of the Shard reasserting it's connection to the Host due to one reason or another. I presume it likely had something to do with the stress Talyor dealt with early on that lined up to similar themes to her Trigger, the Zion Hub going down, and a version of the Earth (a World) getting somewhat wonky metaphysically along with a whole string of Earths. The hardest part might be how the Shard 'sees' Chaldea, if it does at all, given that at least Gotiea blocked the Collective Beast 1 Pillars from being able to see inside as a Safeguard. Though it is unknown if that would extend to a Shard, given they presumably stretch the Magecraft/Technolgy/Age of Will-tech, or a natural phenomenon (which includes things like say a Dragon's fire breath, the Shadow of FSN consuming people, etc) instead, or any other Observer.

So it would less be a plot hole and more the Shard finally getting the chance to find them again across how many other Taylors it lost a foothold in.

As for the 'large data volume' not sure whether or not I should be surprised they found it so fast, or that they identified it as an intelligent agent rather than say a Psychic force, given the existence of such channels being known to grant Humans supernatural abilities outside the Common Sense of Man. On one hand, there have been a hundred (at least) Parahumans being examined by nominal science in the past without discovering this, and on the other hand, the Network went down alongside a deadline to safeguards falling apart. It likely also helps that it is partly Magecraft being involved as well, and we still don't know if in most Cycles most Hosts have lost Magecraft entirely as a standard or not. But it could also be an indication that Admin is investing heavily again in Talyor's connection and making up for the lost time by blatantly syncing records, or adjusting the power to whatever limited extent it can now without the Zion Hub.
 
Well, invertebrates.

And no. It sounds like Da Vinci plans on pulling a Panacea and just using the biomass.

Still, I hope Olga doesn't have any relevant phobias.
It more sounds like Olga will be Olga until someone pisses her off, and then she just stands there and says 'GUYVER'.

"Or maybe he just doesn't know when to die," I muttered under my breath.
Blasphemy! None shall bad talk the cute (but actually terrifying) Mascot character!
Scion… I steered well clear of even mentioning his name. That was a can of worms I didn't want to open, filled to the brim with things I was still trying to get over even two years after the fact.
Ya know I can't help but think Taylor is going to feel stupid for not mentioning that when she see's the more "Oh god why" parts of FGO i.e Demon God pillars, actual gods, aliens and Beast.

You gotta specify a bit more there :V. Literally every mascot character in the Nasuverse is cute but piss-your-pants terrifying.
Eg: Saber, Arc, Shiki (the female one), Fou, Type Venus, Kaie (although only cute at first sight), Aoko... Even Mashu, a little.
Yeah, I think that covers every franchise.

Our dear Eggplant Shield daughter!
I think you're missing Apocrypha and Gray.
 
Wait, would Mordred, Jeanne or Frankie be the mascot for Apocrypha? Or it could possibly be Jackie, Atalanta, Amakusa or Sumunai mk2 (yeah I forgot his name :whistle:)

Apparently Kaie is from DDD (never heard of it before either, sidenote: it's version of Olga appears to have been named Marine Origa and her abilities name... what the fuck Nasu? Why?) He's a very pretty boy that controls demons ir something, legit had to check he was male (personally would have thought the mascot would've been Kanata Ishizue but whatever)

Darn! Can't believe I forgot totally not Artoria Gray. As for Apocrypha: Astolfo, nuf said.

DDD is Nasu's "my demons are different" stories.
And, yes, Kaie's limbs are demons; kinda like Merem Solomon but less OP. He is also kinda of a dick. Mind you, I haven't read all of DDD, good translations are hard to find and my Japanese isn't good enough to read chuuni.
Also, I don't think Marine Origa is an alter of Olga Marie as her name is written in kanji. But yeah, her skill... WTF Nasu.
And Kanata has too small a roll to be mascot level, so the roll falls to narcoleptic pretty boy.

I'm pretty sure that was a version of her, since I remember that a version of her had been locked up in some type of asylum or something and died. Also not every version of her is named Olga Marie Animushpere (but they are named something similar), apparently her name gets pretty warped as it goes through the multiverse. The only consistent thing all of them actually have in common is that they all die by 2016 (I don't know if that's because of what Flauros did, or if that was just how this Olga died, but well "Olga Marie has no future" is apparently a thing, with one version going mad and hunting down other versions for reasons. There was a post on a Ryuugi thread that had a bunch of stuff about it going all the way back to Nasu works like Tsukihime, Melty Blood and others. I might have to go find it.)

Damn. Girl has it tough. It might be in her Origin or something. That usually dictates their life one way or another, though if awakened it'll pretty much be all you do.

Or the Root just somehow decided that she is its punching bag for reasons.
 
From what I recall there's a misconception about what a Demon actually is, largely due to fan mistranslation, and that in actuality there's a few distinctions.

There are Aberrations beings borne of nature that distort nature while existing. Daemons are Curses raised to a higher degree of awareness by the 6th Imaginary Factor connected to Human Ideation, and tangentially that Factor seems to be where a swath of Curses/Skills may arise from. Then True Daemon are beings unconnected to Humanity or the Nature of the World, and seemingly are entities in the wider universe that spawn further Demons*.

*Uncertain as to what category of being, but it might cause all three to potentially come into being.*

Her neck was shiny with a cream to reduce the swelling of her bruises.
-Surgeons don't really care about bruising. They are often inflicting worse while working. And honestly, there really isn't any point in expending resourses to reduce an issue that the body will deal with in a day or two-

I didn't have a good line for her, and I guess I forgot to mention her in the narration? This is the trouble with trying to juggle a large cast of characters. Part of why I'm trying to be a little conservative about how many Servants Chaldea has at the moment.
-Have Rika drag her off after Househusband while babbling about how good the food was going to be?-
