Addy is doing a decent job speedrunning Poor Life Choices. She may even beat canon Taylor's best score.
God this little girl worries me.
At least she has Taylor to help her. Because fuck this ToF Shard is an insistent, dangerous little continent sized monster.
The mind alterations alone... that is pretty terrifying.
As it is... things are going to get interesting...
And now I'm thinking about a tree with Orcs Must Die, full of funny wall, floor, and ceiling rotating blades.
Okay.
I suggest you slowly walk away and enact master/stranger protocols.
Really proud?
That's the only thing that comes to mind honestly.
Wait, won't Metabolic Eve be a problem? She's already producing a ton of Eve and needs to regularly extract it, won't this only make that problem worse?
And Possession? That one's scary as fuck! It can force people in an area to comit suicide. If the PRT wasn't already worried they will now flip out with all this.
"Then what's stopping her from warping things enough to focus and redirect sunlight into a massive burn everything beam? Like a magnifying glass? A little bit of space warping and her targets could be trapped in a non-Euclidean maze as a beam of pure magnified sunlight melts them to ash."
Missy's Shard: "I LOVE YOU!""Even if she can't do the sunlight lasers thing she'd would still be absolutely terrifying if she had a gun. Or even just a melee weapon. That thing she does with Clockblocker where she smacks him from like ten feet away? What's to stop her from doing that to villains with knives. Or tranquillisers? Other than the PRT's PR department shoehorning her into being a cutesy little PR pony instead of a proper harbinger of ruin and destruction."
No, she put an ADAM producing sea slug inside her body. Slightly less stupid, but at least it doesnt come with losing your body to a genocidal, possibly insane alien with a god complex.
Definitely interesting, in the Chinese sense too.
Sort of. Her body is essentially now also producing a small amounts of a chemical that'll help replace electrolytes/calories/caffeine/whatever plasmids use as fuel. It's actually going to mess with her own ADAM refinement process as any EVE will need to be separated from the ADAM before she can refine that ADAM into other stuff.Wait, won't Metabolic Eve be a problem?

It's not Addy's fault that the mind control powers that force absolute and undying loyalty cause suicidal depression when they wear off.And Possession? That one's scary as fuck! It can force people in an area to comit suicide. If the PRT wasn't already worried they will now flip out with all this.
I'm doing a bit of Manton-limiting shenanigans. The slug has partially fused with some of her major arteries counting as being part of Addy and not a separate creature to Taylor's power. It's also why removing the slug will be next to impossible to remove without killing Addy (unless done via a very specific plasmid Addy won't make, or Panacea biohax)Taylor's power is able to control slugs (and sea slugs are gastropod molluscs just like regular slugs). Can Taylor now control the SI's implant?
Sort of optimised. She just has the ability those Zealots of the Lady enemies from the game also have, which is using the vigor to disperse into crows to travel about. The only real change I did was let Addy be able to make the crows not attack stuff, allowing her to switch them from 'murderous frenzied swarming' to waiting while and glaring hatefully and plotting your death'.I love that you optimised "Murder of Crows"! Not just added control, but a Mover ability too!
Yes though Addy will need to tinker with a bit.Will Addy be able to tweak the Bee Swarm Plasmid to give Taylor a similar Mover ability?
Addy is mostly out of parts at the moment and needs to wait until Fluffles the Second is ready before she can try gather more.Hmmmm..... Addy could make a Robot "Little Sister", I wonder if she could perhaps make a Robot "Big Sister" too?
Ooh! Could make it a Robot Maid Big Sister! Base it upon Roberta Cisnero from Black Lagoon! The Bloodhound! The Terminator!
Hmmmm.... I think that Annette may end up as the Big Sister or Big Mama then, what with Taylor going with the Floofy Moth Costume....
Could whip up some Helicopter Security Bots for the Lab too!
The Chemical Thrower would allow Ice/Fire/Electric attacks, which would let Taylor focus more on Utility Plasmids like Telekinesis, rather than waste a slot on an Elemental Offensive Plasmid.
Ooh! Don't forget the Ion Cannons!
Reality Lens is a good shard just trying to look after it's host and make sure she doesn't think too much about restricted information and things hosts aren't supposed to know (like for example a shard messing with the host's mind). It's not Reality Lens' fault it's host knows a lot of stuff and needs a bit of extra recalibration now and then.Yeah it's nice to see how realizing that some of her ideas are wrong and them promptly get sidetracked into something else.
ADAM producing sea slugs are indeed much safer.No, she put an ADAM producing sea slug inside her body. Slightly less stupid, but at least it doesnt come with losing your body to a genocidal, possibly insane alien with a god complex.
Spatial Manipulation is indeed jealous of the glory that is Reality Lens' host.Missy's Shard: "I LOVE YOU!"
Seriously, she likely have envy about hosts now and is a little annoyed she didn't get the girl with the big brain.
Only when there arent any insane Splicers running around. Which there arent, so she should be safe. That said, we'd better hope none of the Merchants somehow get their hands on ADAM or things could get...messy.
Well, just a mutate slug with healing powers. It's ok, what I can say? It's a very safe and certificate healing method.No, she put an ADAM producing sea slug inside her body. Slightly less stupid, but at least it doesnt come with losing your body to a genocidal, possibly insane alien with a god complex.
ADAM by itself isn't that amazing. Just a really good regenerative agent. It's basically magical cancer.Only when there arent any insane Splicers running around.

You know, since it's a mutate slug in her belly, "refining shit" it's literally what he do.ADAM by itself isn't that amazing. Just a really good regenerative agent. It's basically magical cancer.
It's when you refine it into other shit when it begins to get truly OP.
You might want to re-read this chapter a bit more closely, cause the only way it would be made clearer is if Adeline turned to the camera and said that her powers were messing with her mindokey.. is her power messing with her head? because her personality is a type of crazy that gets you and those close to you killed, makes me remember MCs of crack fics.
Istill need to do a trip there once a week for ADAM dialysis because holy crap was a wrong

But this is Taylor we're talking about. Not a person who has a good track record of trusting authority to solve problems or being willing to allow anything to slip outside her control.I wonder if Taylor will do the responsible thing and get some help for addie, cause I'm sure she's intellegent enough to realise that she can't control addie and that addie isn't really in control of herself
There is also invisible/transparent-text.okey.. is her power messing with her head? because her personality is a type of crazy that gets you and those close to you killed, makes me remember MCs of crack fics.
How do I get a plugin?There is also invisible/transparent-text.
Which you might not know of, since forums like these allow that kinda story tool.
(You can either highlight invisi text or use a plugin to make that easier.)
Which makes the manipulation more visible...
Wait, there is?
I went back too. There's several. Apparently her shard really is screwing around with using duct tape as bandages on purpose.
