He made more chapters since then, and posted a few minutes before you did. The story is alive.Aww, that's a shame. I was kinda hoping to see Taylor create a Mannschenn FTL-Drive or a near-equivalent.
Apologies if this is a necro-post, I only just found and read this story today.
That reply might have actually been after my first (deleted) post, which showed up after he posted. No big deal ether way, I'm just glad the story's not dead.
She could always do brains, she just doesn't want to out of the fear of fucking everything up, so she claims she can't.
Second Triggers are canon, though very rare. There are four characters in Worm who had them: Narwhal, Grue (happens in the plot), Glaistig Uaine, and King of Cups (happens towards the end of the story, but unlike Grue he's a background character at best).
Also Taylor is suggested to have triggered twice in rapid succession (or to have had a trigger-and-a-half, depending on the source), due to her power not being any help in getting her out of the locker, and in fact making things worse due to sensory overload.
Not America, actually. Canonically, the only Power Rangers team to be based in the USA was SPD Alpha squad (in Seattle, i think)... who turned out to be traitors. Who knew. All the other Power Rangers teams seem to be based in New Zealand, Australia, and that general area in the Pacific.
Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, takes place in Angel Grove, a fictional city in California
Amy can probably deal with this if it becomes a problem.
I actually came up with a solution already. You'll find out what it is when we get there.
Not really? Endbringers can't exactly prevent space-time manipulation after it has already happened, and I don't see any reason why an Endbringer would be able to prevent such in a time stop.
Then there's fact that Taylor's power is not Shard-based. She is just so good with clockmaking she accidentally started to manipulate time. The thing is, Shards have problems with non-natural effects not caused by "Shard Fuckery" (they potentially can't comprehend magic, depends on author) and considering all "precog" shards are just probability algorithms, she and rest of her Time Patrol can become massive blindspot. Shards can't perceive her well, they potentially even can't parse what is she doing.
Well, there's the thing that while she knows she is doing it, it doesn't look like she knows exactly how. She haven't even noticed until Danny specifically told her that her watches started to manipulate time. Then there's fact that we don't know what caused it, aside of Taylor making watches like obsessed for most of her life. It's entirely possible that whatever is she doing is non-reproducable similarly to Tinkertech. Is she just that good? It is stable time-loop where at the end Taylor gives herself her powers? Is she some sort of Chosen of Time? It's possible she can teach others. In the same way, it's possible she literally can't, because she's only one who can do that.
She could... but even now, Taylor's time shenanigans would make her gaping hole for PtV's predictions and Contessa without PtV is moreless helpless AFAIK. And even with watches, first use of them would put PtV on the fritz because as for right now, Precog Shards aren't able to parse Taylor's Time Bullshitery. In best case, PtV drops 404 error when Fortuna asks how to use them, in worst case it crashes.
It depends on the magic system. If it's something that requires some level of enlightenment or spirituality, like Bending from Avatar, then as beings that outsourced creative thought, they simply can't. They also shouldn't be able to replicate Magecraft from the Nasuverse due to that being a human thing. They should totally be able to comprehend something like Naruto's Chakra due to it just being odd types of energy, though.
They should still be able to precog Taylor, if not what she can do.
Eh, I'm pretty sure that PtV could handle "Ask Eidolon to destroy all those watches at once without harming anybody." In the most likely case here, Precogs have trouble with predicting the results of Taylor's experiments and not much more.
I'm aware that she could always do brains, as are you, but the people of Earth Bet aren't. This would be a good excuse for her to start doing brains when people thought she couldn't.
