I want a refund! (Tinker of Fiction Semi-SI)
Hmmm, I wonder if this is a way for Missy to get girls her age into the Wards?

Making her own Siberian?
It might have been a Simurgh plot to kill him considering his suspected specialty was wavelengths, which could eventually allow him to recreate some of Scions most versatile and deadly powers like Stilling.

I'd go for one of the Magus sisters rather than Shiva. Unassisted Flight is the dream, plus it fits the theme of Mothri! The best deception right there is that Mothri's bug clone could scream out a "power word", then seem to dissolve into an overpowered Breaker state/Changer form.
"I'm sorry, I must have misheard that. It sounded like you said, 'The teen girl with a Master rating of "biblical plague" can merge her swarm into an empowered being that could rival an Endbringer!'"
Emily could see that she was breathing heavily as she stared into Armsmaster's mirrored visor. This was understandable considering her voice had risen in volume with each word until she had been screaming the last third of her statement.
"That is not the phrasing I used, Director, but it is an accurate summation of the facts."

What? MP wasn't mentioned anywhere!

Addy still wants to make Dark Knight, Songstress, Floral Fallal and Machina Maw and still has a couple days left on the this tech tree, so there is a chance of it happening.
It'd be one spec, regardless of the number of additional bodies she has.
Writing that bit from Addy's POV was interesting. On the bright side Addy figured out how to use her psionics to Mind Merge
Yeah I couldn't resist the temptation to troll people. Luckily for everyone now that April fool's day is done I can confirm the chapter is canon.
And aquatic monsters darken the water of the Bay. That's also likely.
Sounds like you need some of Lisa's potions
Anyway some of the upcoming consequences have been building for a while like a jenga tower, and like a jenga tower will be falling down sooner or later.
She isn't likely to make more clones of herself in future. Partly because she only did it to get an Aeon but mostly because cloning herself is going to be a groundable offence once Tattletale tattles on her to her family.
I'ts only a problem if she runs out.
Clones would probably only be for special occasions, like if she ever needs stuff that requires sacrifices and has no volunteers. I might do a non-canon omake with a horde of Addys but for canon there isn't really much need. Part of the fun with writing the tinker of fiction thing is the time limit and trying to cram everything you can into it, and clones kinda break that hard.
The next interlude should provide some more light on the situation.
They can't view other realities, or at least most entities can't. Standard operating procedure for the entities is doing a cursory scan of the target, bubbling off the sandbox they want to
It's more fun and gives me interesting writing options. Plus Reality Lens is Best Shard.
A QEC would be interesting for upgrading her implants communication abilities. Sadly I haven't played Andromeda so it's not quite on the list for the moment (if/when I roll Mass Effect I might watch a lets play or something too see if there's anything I really want from it).
I was originally going to have her use X-Com psionic based hyperwave tech for improving the implants (shunting the communications into hyperspace/subspace/whateverspace similar to how Codi does her electronic travel thing), but then the whole 10 day timeskip happened and Addy didn't have enough time to implement it, but eventually she'll be able to swap back to X-Com so that still remains an option for improving transmission security. If I roll ME i'll definitely look into the QEC stuff.
And this time it definitely is Splice's fault and Piggot is justified in being upset.
The powers she grants are mostly limited by the tech trees she has, so she can't actually do time affecting bubbles, power copying or geokinesis/earthbending. Not until she gets an appropriate tech tree.
That said, it is kinda amusing how she's turning into a this semi-Trump power granter. I was totally expecting more genetic horrors and stuff way back when. Hell I remember back when she had Fallout how much I wanted her to have an army of robots. Addy's anti-thinker effect affects even me.
Technically yes, though she's not really likely to think of it or program them into the vita-chamber. She'll be avoiding adding her x-com minions to it since they're all genetic clones of eachother and so the vita-chamber won't rez any of them until the last one dies (and then it'd probably only rez the last one). In her mind the vita-chamber isn't a cloning machine and she doesn't really think of it as such. Despite cheesing the rules to have it clone herself, that was more of a 'if I do this thing I can make an Aeon' line of thought rather than a 'i can clone myself to do stuff' sort of thought.
So far I'm thinking roughly dog-sized (and proper dog-sized, not those little handbag rats) rodents that are a mix between nimh rats and skaven. Of course it's all subject to change depending on what my muse wants.
There's lots of options. So far i'm leaning towards mutated crustaceans. Or starfish. A human sized starfish crawling out the bay to hunt people could be fun. That and possibly sea slugs in the bay being mutated enough to produce ADAM as well just to keep the whole mess self sustaining. That could be interesting.
Well it'd take people looking at her brain to actually notice something is wrong, and even then it's not like there's a cabal of doctors going about inflicting spontaneous MRI scans on the populous. Panacea would notice with a casual touch of course. Then again brain scans or Panacea would also notice the tinkertech implants and foreign neural matter there too.
It would've been interesting if Hero lived and Alexandria died. Just imagine how different the world would be.
Also, since this fic is based on fanon almost as much as canon Hero's specialty is indeed Wavelength Manipulation. Not that it matters since he's very dead at the moment.
There won't be any Aeons exactly like the ones in game (with the possible exception of Sin if Addy ever does make it). It has to do with how the fayth and aeons work (or at least how I think they work based on the lore):
Basically the soul gets put in the special statue (fayth) where it dreams, with it's dreams making the Aeon. In order to get a summon exactly like one from the game the fayth would need to want to dream that specifically as it's from. Since only Addy knows about FFX/X2 for now she'd be the only one able to make a fayth that could make an in-game aeon (thus she could make Sin if she wanted by specifically having that fayth want it).
Since the majority of the upcoming aeons are going to be made with vipers/tattlesnakes most going to be rather serpentine since that's the sort of form a dreaming snake monster would be most comfortable with. They'll all have a theme though (fire/ice/physical/etc) which I'll probably roll randomly since I doubt i'd be giving much character development to throwaway minions to the point that people can look at a particular snek and go 'ooh that one will probably be the fire one'.

would love for Addy to build something really big like the UNSC Infinity and upload a video taunting all the other inferior Tinkers challenging them to to one up her.

Did you never play the game? The Fayth are a religious sacrifice mimicking/imitating Jesus on the cross. According to the lore their body becomes a statue right then and there. There's an area in the game on Mt. Gagazet where you can see several hundred Fayth statues empowering Sin. Unlike the Fayth in the temples which have been placed in some sort of clear container, these statues are exposed and can be touched. The power of the Aeon is a reflection of the intention of the sacrifice of the Fayth's soul. Anima is one of the most powerful Aeons in the game because it was created by a mother sacrificing everything for her child.
Additionally, in the game every Fayth was human yet only a few Aeons had humanoid forms. It's perfectly reasonable to say that the form of the Aeon can be chosen by the person when they become a Fayth.
The fact that Addy even knows of Sin, which is probably more of an equivalent of Scion than an Endbringer, proves that she is aware of the forms of the Aeons. If the Fayth does choose their form as an Aeon then I can easily see her deciding to do something like this just to make Taylor safer. Just hand-wavium the need for a statue as her Shard necessitating a medium. Of course, it's not like pretending that Taylor can summon an Endbringer is actually going to make her safer...

what would Addy do if she got Ar Tonelico? Magical based tech trees synergies well after all.
I doubt she could build somethjng that big, but maybe she could build something similar to the lich to act as a mobile base so she can collect and refine resources as she wants instead of having to buy it? If she can make a couple excavator drones then she could sell materials to various organisations like toy box if she wants!

Wait until she gets a tech tree she can actually use.
Ooohhhhhh Nimh! I forgot about that one. I hope your muse leans that way. Wasn't one of those guys psychic/clairvoyant?
And the ADAM turning Sea Slugs into the creature from which it came is a good idea to keep the wild ride going!
One of the things I loved about this chappy was that Addy finally trolled herself!

True, perhaps as an omake? but a lich feels underwhelming, the idea that Addy somehow builds something so impressive that the whole world is forced to take a step back and for other Tinkers to feel jealous and try and replicate such a feat. With it mainly being impressive du to its size

I'd rather see her build a GE999 style train...
No psychics in Nimh, unless you mean the animated parody.
1 .Recruit Canary
2. Turn her into a Reyvateil
3. Realize that she never will be able to build a tower with the time and ressources she has, which makes step 1 and 2 useless

That was my reaction as well considering both "The Secret of NIMH" movies I've seen were animated.
Yeah. Was it based on a book or something? And the movies were just so bad to the book readers that @Albert was just ripping on the movie? The writers just slept thru the second movie I can believe.
@Unders Will the Brokonites be drinking low doses of ADAM from their tap water? If so then there really is something in the water making all their parahumans and the strange goings on!

There was a book called "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH" but I remember it and the movie having a fairly divergent story line.

I'm now picturing a Seaweed monster that is constantly stumbling around as if permanently high...
