Also REALLY want Addie to mention to Vista the idea of calling down a bolt of lightning by linking the ground to the Ionosphere like the other fic did... giant bolt from god!.
I want a refund! (Tinker of Fiction Semi-SI)
I mean going by your fiction's list thing could get much worse. It might make Piggot even think there are multiple bio-tinkers in the city.
That is actually much more fucked than you realise. For Coil that is.
It means that the longer she holds a tech tree past 1 week the more he is fucked. Because almost anything he does to deviate the timeline could cause her to change tech trees. So basically after 1 week of a new tech tree if the tree is maintained Coil's power becomes unreliable to the extreme. And almost any attacks on Addy would result in changing tech-trees. So that timeline collapses.
Right now he might be a bit safer since reviving tech is too important to wait till the tech-tree is rolled again. But even then there might be some timeline collapse.
Btw you should add a 1 day or 6 hours cool down to Coil's power when ever a tech-tree is changed in the main timeline. Since new parameters need to be set for the simulation.
You can also make it so if a timeline collapses on its own he can't make a new one for an hour. Since most Thinker powers have a restriction on them and have drawbacks when overused, you can make it so if he splits the timeline without waiting for a cool down he will have a thinker headache. And it won't get better while his power is being actively used. So he can withstand the headache and push through. But the more timelines automatically collapse the worst the headache and the longer he has to rest.
Alternatively you can make it so if a timeline automatically collapses he loses all info gained in that timeline. Including what lead to the timeline collapsing.

Does that mean she can revive the old Addy? If so it would make transitioning into a guy help distinguish between them.
What you can do is when Addy puts her data into the machine it would show her 2 options. The MC Addy (the guy who drowned) and old Addy (the little girl).
You can make it so when/if you decide to revive old Addy and her parents or even just old Addy, the MC claims that he gained his old memories back. And that when he triggered Addy was dead and he was dead but his old body was too unsalvageable so he was put into a new body (which messed with his memories). That way you can even have old Addy and her moms go back to their old life while new Addy (or what ever new name you decide to give) stays with Taylor and her family.
up to you though if you want to do this.Or even just part of it.
plus it would align with the type of shard he has, since it can look at other realities outside the cycle.
You can actually still use this if the dice ever make Addy drown. You can expand the power a bit. Allow Addy to maintain knowledge without needing to write blueprints. Or the ability to have more control over her body while building something and over time gain a slight increase in skills each time a new device is made/modified.
So work with enough mechanical projects would Addy to fix or make mundane mechanical things. This would allow for better planning for future projects mana with enough exposure (and I mean years) Addy would have abilities similar to a tinker with a rating of 1 even with the shard power.
Alternatively you can make it so Addy has a number of slots that can store blueprints of tech from a tree before changing it. And would allow for building the device even when the tech tree is not the right one.
Another alternative would be to add a new power related to the shard in question. Like an anti precog power or a Thinker power related to precognition or something.
That's only if you plan to ever pull a second trigger.
At first I though Piggot was reaching a bit, but if they believe that Addy draws future events it would probably be justified.

I'm liking this, but everytime a tech tree is confirmed no go I get a little sadder.
I mean, jumping around worlds with Sliders, manipulating souls and functional immortality with Dark Souls, Old God fuckery with Bloodbourne, I mean imagine the synergy with all the blood! Old Blood plus biotinkering would kick ass.
Not to mention so much missed synergy between conceptually similar fandoms.
Totally understandable, it's not like I watch and play everything under the sun and I don't expect Unders to either. But I can dream.

Yea but they seem to conveniently forget the '90% chance' that Addy mentioned, meaning the probability isn't set for the Dinah event. Which means the family of cathulu's might become a self-fulfilling prophecy if they go after Splice.
I mean if they can use powers from other setting it's already pretty OP.
Imagine them with Pretender shells from Transformers....
Pretender - Transformers Wiki
Apparition
Apparition was a form of magical transportation, in which the user travelled instantly from one location to another, without traversing the space in-between. This was accomplished by having the user focus on a desired location in their mind and then purposely disappearing from where they were...

Not sure about about the pretender shell but I like the other ideas.
I mean Transformers are already in the tech tree, so why not?
Seems superfluous. Unless it's against Endbringers. At best a disguise to look like a slightly larger animal?
Nah, they can disguise themselves with human shells. Hence not looking like monsters everywhere they go.
Now that they have Dinah Alcott they can ask her what are the chances that they will have a bio tinker bad ending. Then they can same question but if hey attack the bio tinker.
Unders
Suffers from delusions of competence
His rep is going to go downhill pretty quickly. Especially because Addy's 'prediction' was totally correct that Dinah is a parahuman.
They can't be combined per se, but somebody can have both of them at once. (basically can't merge them into a single plasmid but can run both plasmids without issue). Luckily Khanivore is so big and has plenty space to cram full of plasmids. 3m tall bipedal tentacle-shark-cat-thing that shoots lightning, teleports, can turn invisible at will, sees people through walls, etc is going to be really good for Piggot's blood pressure. Khanivore's size is the main limiter for the heist since it's hard to fit something that big indoors.
The Critter 53 that Addy has planned can't be controlled by Taylor because it's missing important pieces of it's brain (which are replaced with bioware processors). Taylor can still get feeback on it's biology and probably it's senses (haven't decided yet), but actual control is impossible unless Addy makes one (or another suitably bug-like critter) without the implants replacing brain matter. The little bugs the Critter 53 is going to be able to spawn (the pepper spray moths) can be controlled by Taylor as they're separate sufficiently bug-like creatures with functioning nervous systems.
Addy is also unlikely to make something for Taylor specifically for scouting since her power is already OP for scouting anyway. Anything she makes for Taylor would be to give her better combat options (like say making a critter stacked full of bioshock's assorted elemental attacks or something)
Possession is a disposable spirit, but only one can be active at a time. I'm undecided at the moment about using it in place of souls and I'll only really decided once she gets a tech tree that uses souls.
At the moment she doesn't know she's on his radar and will assume whenever he's making a move that it's the first time unless she has evidence to the contrary.
Addy would first need to get a DNA sample and I doubt people would let her go and do a bit of grave robbing of a well beloved and respected hero's grave to get it.
Also Addy doesn't actually care enough about hero to revive him. She probably would if somebody she cared about asked, but she wouldn't really rush off and volunteer to do it on her own. She's pretty selfish, only really caring about herself and the people she likes.
If it pops up Addy would definitely grab something to make storing her designs safer. At the moment she's got 3 spots she stores the copies which haven't really been show in story yet. The first is in a USB stick under her mattress, the second is a USB stick hidden in the rafters at her workshop (needing Fluffles to put them there), which doesn't get updated as frequently. The third is in a USB stick she buried in a container in the back yard. Once a week she'll take any blueprints she's done in notebooks and update the USB sticks, with the workshop one being a lot more awkward since it's kept so far away.
An implant would be a nice way to improve the whole backup system but her Little Sister regeneration actually gets in the way. Her flesh knits back up ridiculously fast and broken bones literally heal in seconds, so anything that she wants to add in needs to be put in before the ADAM in her body fixes her up.
Addy is getting used to being female. Still finds some bits awkward but overall is enjoying herself. It'll come up in story if she gets something that'd let her swap genders.
Danny is going to find out fairly soon, mostly because it's hard to explain why his dead wife is suddenly alive again and cooking breakfast without some form of explanation. He's not that unobservant. I've got some ideas for how Annette is going to fit into things.
Vista is terrifying enough without being able to full Zeus on the place (lightning wise, not sleeping around with anything with a pulse wise). It might be possible Vista figures it out on her own without hints from Addy though.
Yup the gangs will find out eventually. Coil isn't going to be the one to spread it around however as he wants a new precog to replace the one that just got away, however it's pretty safe to assume that all the gangs have some moles in the PRT in some fashion. Most of them are probably reporting to coil too while thinking they're reporting to the gang they support since I can totally picture Coil getting off on grabbing free info as moles reported to the other gangs.
Yup. Addy hasn't outed him because she knows if does she'll instantly be on his radar and that he's a sore loser who would totally retaliate against her.
Side effects of Coil's power slamming into Addy's anti-thinker thing is mostly just going to be a nasty headache.
Addy doesn't know she has this effect on precogs so is unlikely to change tech trees if she figures out she's in a disposable timeline. The more likely option is she ends up collapsing Coil's safe timeline because in that timeline she wanted to swap specs to do some tinkering (since she's safely at home and not being kidnapped) and therefore dumps him into the disposable timeline. Fortunately for her Coil doesn't know it's her that's having a weird effect on his powers or she'd be getting a bullet in the head asap.
At the moment there's only one Addy that the chamber could revive, which is the current Addy. Old-Addy is overwritten/merged with the SI memories/soul/whatever to make the current Addy. If she dies the vita chamber's quantum bullshit would connect to current Addy.
I'm actually thinking that the full Tinker of Fiction powerset is a second trigger power, with the initial trigger probably being just a single fiction. Then again it doesn't really matter since I'm not really going to have her in a situation where the likelihood of experiencing trigger conditions again could happen.
Piggot is always suitably paranoid and justified whenever biotinkering is a possibility
I'm planning to gradually update the fiction list over time as I either think of cool things to add or get time watch/play things people have suggested.
the 90% thing was in reference to Coil being a pedophile, not that Dinah was going to be kidnapped.

I'm using the transformers movie universe rather than cartoons/comics/etc. I'll update the fiction list.
Likewise for the Marvel stuff. Movie-verse not comics-verse.
This fic, a really good 1-shot by @mp3.1415player. It basically changes Vista from Shaker: 9 to Shaker: Yes
Bear in mind Addy has an anti-thinker effect with regards to long range predictions. After all her next specialisation might not included adorifying biotinkered horrors.

Re: Insect brains via a 10 second, click on the first link google search.
"Understanding Insect Brains: Insects have tiny brains inside their heads. They also have little brains known as "ganglia" spread out across their bodies."
"...An insect's brain is distributed into three pairs of lobes: protocerebrum, deutocerebrum, and tritocerebrum. The lobes are essentially fused ganglia. They are spidersclusters of tiny neurons that insects use to process sensory information."
Thus, insect brains is a bit of an odd thing, as they don't really have them - and yet still kind of technically have an equivalent (even if its not a muscle like ours/mamals,birds,lizards and just about every other dang creaure)

So... Fun fact about the Quicksilver Invisible Man thing; in the show Darrian Fawkes had very fine control over how it would flow while settling into place, to the point that he could temporarily turn objects up to the size of a VW minibus invisible for a few minutes without even needing to remain in contact with them -- and the same applied to people as well.
The discussion of invisibility and all that; I just had the thought of adding that different setting into things and adding a QS gland to the Critter 53; those pepper moths could be invisible (selectively) for their entire 5-ish minute lifespans. Fun times.

I imagine Missy finding a picture of Khanivore with her tentacles slicing Nazis, and Miss Militia half-naked standing on top of her with a gatling.
The PRT's reactions would be delicious.
Thomas: Now now we don't know with certainty that he is a pedophile!
I'm gonna laugh if he uses a throwaway timeline to start shooting and screaming about not being a pedophile only for it to conveniently pop in as the main timeline because Addy switched at that moment.
Heh. Forgot about the van bit. I remembered the scene when you said that. Addy doesn't need to biotinker those glands into people. Just make a critter like a sugar bear. Cute and small enough pet for it to get by but engineered with the gland to produce enough 'quicksilver' to make it's owner invisible.

Every time I see a update I get my hope up the buildup is killing me, please author release me from this torture.
I am assuming he would have data on his DNA saved in the PRT database. So if Addy gets a tech tree that lets her hack she can probably get Hero's DNA data. But that's only if you want to go that route.
Plus he doesn't have any other powers other than tinkering. So she can wait till she gets a tech tree that lets her enforce a contract like a geas and revive him. Minke a deal, if accepts cool, if he doesn't she can kill him and no one will know. Though it's up to you. I just really want to see what it would be like if Hero was back.
You know if you add Young Justice you could do Martian tech. Sure we haven't seen much but there is the shapeshifting bishop. So flight, shapeshifting, invisibiloty, some telepathy at least. Then the other tech like the elemental manipulating robots and AI. And a that one robot in the beginning that can copy powers.

When you get around to Guyver, I recommend the following order....
Guyver: Out of Control
A one off OAV Movie.
(First made anime, rough but it has ideas that are revisited later in the Manga)
Guyver: Mutronics
Live Action Movie
Mark Hamil is in it
(So bad it is Funny to watch)
The Guyver
Anime
12 episode OAV series
(Awesome English Intro Music, Japanese OST for this one is terribad, best animated violence and Megasmasher effect!)
Biobooster Armour Guyver
Manga
I think it is up to Vol. 34 now?
(Great Story, Beautifully Illustrated and great supplementary Art and Lore in it too)
Guyver: Dark Hero
Live Action Movie
David Hayter as Lead Role
(Also David Hayter is Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid)
Guyver
TV Series, reboot Anime
Over 24 Episodes roughly, I think?
(Most accurate Animation to the Manga Storyline, but violence very toned down sadly)
