Knock Eidolon out of the sky?
I want a refund! (Tinker of Fiction Semi-SI)
You can't capture a monster someone already owns with a pokeball (even masterball), so Addie would have to make Eldion relinquish control first. On the other hand the Capture Stylus the Pokemon Rangers use is explicitly meant to calm down raging monsters, even when they are being controlled by someone else.
This does raise the question of what the Endbringer's guardian signs would be and how the world would react to someone having the ability to call on their power.

The original XCOM game came out in 1994, although I don't know if she's used anything that showed up in the early games yet. If she did chances are Uber & L33T would be able to recognize it.

It's obviously meant for when Simmy's dad decides to be a douchebag again. Nothing makes deadbeat dads regret as a 200mm steel sphere going at 90km/h to the face

Considering her multiple Cape Identities, it does not restrict Addie too much.
It should work out okay.... lots more chaos! Yay!
Can Addy make the PRT fund any Airships?
Or negotiate a joint project with Dragon?

Ugh.... Too many whining like little bitches about the Wards....
I'm no wards fan myself, but @Unders has consistently written a hilarious and well crafted fic here.
So extend some trust and let's see how it goes you dumb asses!
There was loads of whining early in the Story about Addy being too ADHD.... You guys have no sense of taste.... The ADHD is what makes Addy so Awesome! ^_^

I find it interesting that everyone assumes Kaiser is dead?
He is minus an Arm and Petrified yes, but it is more like a Han Solo in Carbonite effect than a Gorgon's Gaze.
I see fun happening with this later..... ^_^

Wow, lots of replies.
Anyway sorry for a late reply of my own. I was taking a short break to catch up on video gaming when I suddenly had to do a whole lot of overtime at work. we had an emergency at work with a couple people coming down with covid. Since I had the previous week off I was one of the few uninfected people available to cover
So due to this my writing time was cut down a bit. I'm going to try to have the next chapter out by tomorrow the latest, but if not it'll be pushed back to next week. Unfortunately the next chapter is going to be pretty long since there's a lot to cover (as well as needing to alleviate some of the concerns about the Wards thing
Okay, so lots of debate about whether or not joining the wards is going to ruin the fic and if Addy will be losing her agency, etc. Joining the Wards ins;t the end of the world guys. In fact this post sums things up the best:
I'm undecided at the moment if I should implement a max range. Especially since it works via quantum bullshit.
Taylor would've liked to join the Wards eventually, but at the moment she's annoyed at the PRT. That and she knows now how constrained the Wards are with regards to patrols and being allowed to engage criminals and stuff, so staying as an independent would let her fight crime more effectively.
Sadly Addy doesn't have any FEV or know how to make any at the moment. Luckily she can swap back to fallout now if she wants to get some and start making super mutants.
He did contact the console to contact Taylor. Anyway it'll come up during the interlude.
SOLD!!
XD
I think most tinkers only need to worry with the occasional once a month sort of thing, with the odd extra bit after particularly intensive use. I figure Armsy, with his delicate components that have very fine tolerances, probably needs to do a lot more than the average tinker. Especially if it lets him eke out 0.0076% increase in efficiency
I have a non-canon omake laying about somewhere with her being killed by Armsmaster and then just rezzing and acting as if nothing happened laying about somewhere, if that counts.
Endbringers are supposed to be optional (not that the PRT would try hard to stop them from volunteering of course). The Fallen thing on the other hand has no excuse. The thing with Addy is that with all the powers she has you're only really going to be able to get away with kidnapping her if she lets you.
She has a computer/laptop at the splyce lair with some of the stuff backed up (mostly the stuff for biotinkering and arming minions). She hasn't lost much in the way of blueprints. She still has some of the hard copies of her original fallout stuff so the only stuff she's really lost for now is the vita-chamber to psi-chamber modifications and the codex/GREMLIN coding. The bigger risk is the fact that pc had a copy of the gene editing software and DNA library which could easily point her out as being splice.
I'm still mulling over exactly what I want the console to be / how it'll work. It'll come up eventually, since it's likely to mostly be dealt with in an interlude chapter.
The first interection between the two is great. Addy has a very interesting sort of humour.
Sadly she needs the volleyball to petrify herself. On the bright side though the birdcage is full of nasty individuals who would love to help her out with a little suicide.
She's holding onto these cards for later, as a just in case option. No need to go full nuclear just yet.
Nope. Only Addy, Lisa or Taylor can do that.
She doesn't need to ask Simmy. She already knows that offing Eidolon will stop the problem.
She has a plan. It'll come up next chapter.
Her identity isn't an open secret. The only people who know are the PRT, her friends and the Nazis. If she went public then everyone would know, instead of just her friends, some nominal allies and a bunch of soon-to-be corpses.
Addy wouldn't go to a Simurgh fight. During the fights Simmy would be going full lethal due to programming and Addy would be an enemy to be put down. Plus there's the thing that Addy can hear the scream well outside safe distance (due to being psychic) and Simmy with access to Addy's tinkering abilities would be absolutely terrifying.
Leviathan and Behemoth Addy has plans for, but for Simmy the plan is lol nope.
Enforced isolation is just more time for Addy toremote control Splyce to do some uninterrupted tinkering withnap
She'll still patrol with the Wards though, or when Addy is on patrol at least. Addy needs sibling supervision.
Yes. Addy's X-Com specialty had Long War and Long War 2 for example, since I loved those mods and can't actuall play the base games anymore.
Joining was a consequence of being found out by heroes amongst a whole pile of corpses and then being brought into custody. The background dice rolls wound up with Velocity encountering Addy and then I played things logically from there. Heroes take her into custody. PRT try to strongarm her. She decides to go along with it since it's more convenient than explaining why her eyes are glowing and her skin is looking really unhealthy.
A lot pf this fic is random stuff happening and me trying to play everyone's reaction
The stripping was more due to the fact all her clothing was generated by her dressphere and when they took away the garment grid her clothes disappeared (so they dressed her in stuff from the gift shop).
She's visible on camera launchign an ability at hookwolf who then promptly goes berserke
While that would've been an interesting idea in hindsight I try to have a buffer of at least a chapter written before I post anything. It helps iron out plot holes that may crop up. The next chapter is already written (and has been rewritten twice), and will be posted once I have time to get the next part of my buffer up. I'm trying to work a solid buffer up in case I need to change things as I want to make sure I do this wards section right without ruining the story, which means lots of careful thinking between swearing at my dice for what they're rolling.
Answers, in order: Spoilers, maybe, she doesn't need to as Sophia is screwing her life up all fine on her own, {All according to Keikaku}.
Yes. Remedy or Esuna can fix the side effects. They don't know this yet of course since none of them have used it on somebody suffering from the side effects (Addy did use a remedy on her stone-self but that one has a slug so it doesn't matter)
Nope, Canary is in the birdcage right now. It's May in story and without the need to transport Lung at the same time she was shipped off soon after trial.
She just needs to last long enough to become completely untouchable, like say playing a major role in killing an Endbringer. Amusingly her next specialty doesn't have anything to kill leviathan with, but it has something that can severely weaken the bullshit he does and let other people kill it.
Addy picks what she wants to make and then fugues to make it. There won't be any accidental tinkering (or more importantly biotinkering) unless she's prevented from tinkering at all for a while, in which case her power will auto-fugue her like at the start of the story.
There may be some mandatory psychiatric care incoming. Of course the PRT will need to actually get the psychiatrists here first...
Injuries don't matter much. She has insane regen, especially with a high ADAM blood content. M/S lockdown will be trickier, and her best defence against that is doing dialysis a lot more regularly so that if she does get stuck in M/S containment she can ride it out without much problem.
I thought of it but discarded it due to it bringing up a whole lot more awkward questions when Missy's dead friend rings her up asking about having a sleepover.
Well luckily it's in the middle of the bay surrounded by water so nothing else is at risk of catching fire.
The government doesn't know she's an AI. Cauldron does however.
But Addy can't be Splyce. Splyce is her remote controlled body, which Addy clearly isn't.
I don't mind them. They're very helpful actually since inevitably a couple errors slip through no matter how much I recheck everything.
Damn that was a lot of comments to catch up on.
If you do revisit Fallout for FEV, then don't forget some awesone things!
SAPIENT DEATHCLAWS like Goris the Albino who wore a Cloak/Disguise. They were remarkably chilled and thoughtful friendly dudes.
Hairy Deathclaws from Fallout Tactics were also Sapient.
Then you could Splice in Traits from other Deathclaw Varieties....
Like Cameleon Deathclaws who have Biological Stealth, freeing up a Plasmid Slot for other things.
Winged Deathclaws who can Fly.
Cazaclaws who can also Fly but ridiculously fast and agile.
Gatorclaws who are Amphibious.
Then you have Green Geckos that Spit Acid.
Fire Geckos who spit Fire.
Gojira the Friendly Giant Fire Gecko.
Add all that together and you can make discount Dragons that Spit Acid and Fire and can Cloak and Fly!
Lots of other Critters to get Genome of to play with too!
Giant Fire Ants
Rad Roaches
Rad Scorpions
Cazadors
Bloatflies
Ghouls
Glowing One Ghouls
Super Mutants
Night Kin
Mirelurk Variations
Psyker Variety Humans etc
Immortality Serums
Alien DNA
Then there are all the Robots.... So many Robots!
Fallout Tactics alone has Unique Robots because of Cheyenne Mountain Vault.
Then you have Liberty Prime and the Other Giant Robots from the almost made "Fallout: Van Buren" Game that has a Functional Tech Demo that can be seen on youtube.
Hell you can make your own Vault using Vault-Tech stuff!
Maybe go to the Moon with Spacecraft Human or Alien..... Or Teleport there!
As to new Tech Trees.....
How about the Movie "Gremlins 2: The New Batch"!

Gremlins count as self-replicating (at least when exposed to water) so I don't think that her family would let her make them.

Honestly they don't have any kind of tech tree, barring the magical reproductive and transformative properties of Mogwai themselves.
The genetics lab didn't actually have anything close to what Addy already possesses.

Has addie watched codename kids next door? Cause that seems like something she would want to show her friends at a sleepover.
Great work! But didn't addie edit the skirt though? I'm certain that she modified the skirt into something longer and open at the front...
Art is done baking. Not my best work but its done.

Well here's where I stop reading her attitude is too flippant for my tastes and she acts without thinking too many times and you can't use her being 12 as an excuse whiles she's obviously an insert that has past knowledge of the plot and life in general

True, but consider the following - preteen brain with it's hormonal imbalances + powers from a magic space whale a stable person does not make.
Great story, it's really fun reading about a character that actually does stuff with their powers and has fun and doesn't just spend the whole fic being melancholy about being in Worm and over thinking every little decision because "Thinkers". I also love fics where characters play around with multiple identities.
So I only recently discovered/caught up with this fic so I don't know if anyone else has brought this up yet or not, but I wonder if now that Saint is dead if Teacher will break out of the Birdcage now that he doesn't have his safety net of his pet giving him administrative access to the Birdcage? I also wonder if his theoretical breakout will let the other inmates escape, possibly on purpose as a distraction?

And it seems likely Addie wasn't too stable before she triggered either...
Found, binged, cackled a lot.
Fic can be summed as: "And that's why you always get Blank when you SI"
Much better than I was expecting, Addy is just the best. Cathulus are cute and now I want one too.
Ward arc can go either way, here's hoping it goes the fun way.
Overall, very fun fic. Addy is the cutest murder of crows in a trenchcoat. Well, she will be when she gets a trenchcoat.

I want to see that gif now
Uhuh. Right. See above.
No way that'll backfire. Welp. We saw some mutating rats in an interlude later. Am I the only one feeling Doom?
I unironically want to read that. Would be something on Silencio level hilarity no doubt.

You're forgetting Scorchbeasts/the whole Scorched Plague stuff, Ultracite, the cryptids like Mothman, Sheepsquatch and Grafton Monster, and Fusion cell/cores and generators for power (And other resource collectors, since if they're set up discreetly there's less of a chance of getting caught)

Sorry for no update last week. Work has been a pain.
Aiming to get the next update out today or tomorrow. The latest interlude (and especially Brandish) is giving me some issues. The Lisa bits are gold though.
Anyway on to the replies that I had to sorta skip since I didn't really have the time or enthusiasm last week to do much.

prove she's the greatest tinker ever to everyone there save the day
Think of it it less like Addy is now a government cape stuck following the rules and more along the lines of Addy now gets to chill and hang out with Missy in costume while simultaneosly driving Armsmaster and Piggot crazy with her antics.

I suspect Addy's therapists would need therapists if she really decided to open up.
Yeah that looks handy. I have Lords of Madness on her list mostly for the extra grafting options so I can add that too. I skimmed the transhuman book since it's mostly stuff that Addy will want for her Splyce minions than be allowed to use on herself (since she's not allowed any body mods for herself now without permission) and at the moment she's going to be focused on her anti-endbringer stuff. Once the endbringer fight is over she'll get to go full ham with the fun biotinkering stuff D&D offers.
Shadesteel golems aren't in the books i'm giving Addy access to, so no shenanigans with them.
Yeah, but it'll get boring if i have her go full tippyverse on earth bet (which amusingly is still viable even with her limited to the core rulebooks, the eberron stuff and a couple other splatbooks). That and Addy tends to make things she thinks is fun and/or cool and not think things through long term.
Really useful. The transhuman guide is especially handy (more so for the Splyce stuff than for Addy at the moment). Only downside is I have to make sure stuff fits with the rulebooks I'm having Reality Lens draw from. The third eye of conceal was probably the most helpful suggestion since I mostly skimmed that section and i'm not as knowledgeable on the psionic side of things (especially their version of magic items). Addy will probably get a lot of millage out the psionic stuff since she and her sectoids are all psionic.
Yeah thinking about X probably wasn't made or was made differently enough that it'd be wholly unrecognisable. That said Uber and Leet may figure out she's 'cosplaying' something from a final fantasy game simply due to the way she likes to call her attacks (for style reasons) and yelling firaga while throwing out blasts of flame doesn't leave much to the imagination in regards to the inspiration.
They can, but not all willy nilly. Addy has to start a project and then they then take over the construction. Thus Addy could start making a second one and the original could complete it for her, but it can't make a new one without her starting the process. It'll come up in story once she makes one.
I'm gonna be handwaving some of the saving throw bits to whatever makes narrative sense. After all Addy isn't making the actual spells or whatever, she's making clarktech tinkertech equivalents. If I decided to just go with rules as written all Addy has to do is just spam abilities anyway since there's always a 5% chance the target fails the save regardless, so this is to keep things flowing better story-wise while keeping it from essentially being beam spam at Leviathan until he rolls a nat 1 and dies.assorted posters said:
Not gonna be using voidstone since it isn't in the sourcebooks I'm using.
[/quote]
That might be making an appearanceThere's also this, a fun tradition:
Yeah reverse gravity is fun. Especially because it has such a huge area it affects.
Sadly that just moves the problem away and Addy wants to kill Leviathan so she can
Not using spell compendium sadly.
It'd be a spell/spell-like since Addy would be doing it via making a scroll or wand or something or that nature.
Not sure. I'd have to check, since I was considering adding the Book of Exalted Deeds onto Addy's list (since it gives that non-lethal damage enchant for weapons). If I do add the BoED onto her list then I'll probably add the BoVD onto it as well to balance things out (and honestly that book is the fun one)
Nope.
Addy can make artifacts, though most of them tend to be fairly meh (or at least the ones from the books I'm using) or not 'cool enough' for Addy's ADD-addled attention span.
Sadly not on the list of books I'm drawing from for her.
That's the idea. She'll make a couple wands for the Sectoids to do general maintenance work at the Splyce lair so she can spend even more time tinkering. Plus the PRT would pay a fortune to have their own ones to maintain all the tinkertech they want to have.
Yeah that mostly. It's to see exactly what it does and if there are any negatives. As well as so they can impose reasonable rules for her future patrols (no casting Ultimas on shoplifters, for example). Between her black mage and dark knight dresspheres alone she has enough powers for entire teams of capes and it's important to know what she's capable of.
Eh, it's how the story wound up moving. Overall it offers me a bunch more options for some extremely funny scenes in future and won't be as bad as all the naysayers seem to think. The main problem with Ward protagonists is it restricts them. Addy already has another secret identity (Splyce) to play around with. Esp[ecially once she gets her ring of sustenance that'll let her get away with only sleeping 2 hours a day. So much time to tinker and do splyce things once that happens.
Think of it it less like Addy is now a government cape stuck following the rules and more along the lines of Addy now gets to chill and hang out with Missy in costume while simultaneosly driving Armsmaster and Piggot crazy with her antics.
Not familiar with it and after a quick google check it seems it's 5th edition, which means it's not on the list. Reality Lens is pulling from 3rd edition.
I honestly just not very familair with DC stuff and generally consider it to be boring compared to Marvel (admittedly I'm comparing the cinematic universes and quite frankly the DC movies suck). This is probably unfair and DC probably has some good stuff in it, but since I haven't read the comics or watched much of the cartoon stuff set in it I'd rather avoid the universe for now.
I have a number of informational threadmarks, though specifically the threadmark The Wonders of Parahuman Puberty: Powers and You is the one you want. I'll probably be throwing up another informational threadmark later detailing how I'm working the D&D stuff and which books I'm pulling from too, but that can happen after next update.
Addy doesn't like lying when she can mislead by telling the truth.
There's nothing really cool she could grab from that aside from the gremlins themselves.
She already can. She'd just need to modify them to have more arms.
Omg that's awesome!Art is done baking. Not my best work but its done.
She was going to have it changed that weekend but became distracted as she is wont to do. Now she'll be keeping it because the PRT PR department doesn't like it and Addy wants to be contrary.
Huh, i thought this sort of comment got left behind after chapter 5 or 6. Ah well.
But why would she need Blank? Simmy is obviously on her side and definitely not planning to use Addy for her own ends *innocent whistle*
I'm aiming for the fun way.
Ah the rats aren't goign to be a problem (unless your name is Piggot, in which case it's inevitably going to be your problem).
Ty. She is fun to write, even if she causes me headaches sometimes. Had to rewrite a massive chunk of a future chapter. Like I love Addy to be bits but she can be so fucking stupid sometimes.
It may or may not come up
10 out of 10 the rats would find four turtles affected similarly like them and they all decided to collaborate and train them to be ninjas.
i think the only thing that will freak them out more is if they get the directors cut where addy brags about how it went down "Oh, love this part, betcha they didn't see me selfdefence Keiser into a statue!" "Pff, stupid dragonslayers got selfdefenced so hard, teach them not to kidnap girls and being mean to dragon"It may or may not come up
"Addy, please stop using selfdefence as a verb. it doesn't mean what you seem to thing it means..."
