Well, now that the cyber-heart recipient has PRT attention, he can probably get an ordinary heart transplant.
It wont be that easy, not without the original tinker's (Peter's) help during the process. The heart has taken over a good chunk of the man's chest and removing it would be a slow and difficult process, but it's completely possible.
Cue full on official PRT-stamped Villain status for our Protagonists!
Nah, not as long as Peter and Taylor don't keep rocking the boat. Piggot would be fine with them working under the supervision of the PRT.
i would love to know what you think of your Protectorate members and Wards.
She has no problem with that. Even if she does see them as walking weapons, she's ok with Capes using their powers under the supervision of the state. That's why she doesn't have a problem with Rogues either.
Keep in mind that Dinah has not triggered yet
She already triggered, that should have happened some weeks ago (the timeline is unclear on that) and is with the PRT. I just wasn't sure how to include her in this interlude without bloating it with too much information.
What's surprising is that nobody caught on and decided to discharge her for mental problems and wash their hands off her.
As other people mentioned, it was a set-up. Cauldron wanted to use Brockton Bay as an experiment to see what would happen once Parahumans took over the world.
makes me wonder if he'll be able to replicate stuff from this tree with whatever he has left from the protoss tech tree.
Yes, the main thing of his power is that he can mix and match the new stuff with the old. So he can mix Sakura with Starcraft.
I have to wonder how Coil convinced the Undersiders to do such a mass raid and fight Oni Lee
Easy: he didn't tell them they'd be part of a mass raid. He just ordered them to attack an ABB location and then he sent his men to attack in other places. Oni Lee going after them was a coincidence, but a happy one because they do hard-counter his power.
That's a surprisingly reasonable and subdued response by the Protectorate. That's no reason to not finish your fried fish.
Yeah, the original announcement was harsher but one of my betas pointed out that it sounded like something that Meme!PRT would say, so I toned it down but didn't toned down Peter's reaction.
Did the PRT help Dinah? Whatever happened to that.
Yes, I just haven't found a good place to elaborate on that.
Meanwhile in Armsmaster Lab:
"Glenn Chambers!!!!"
The guy had his face on girl's panties.
Agh, i still wonder how Cauldron could have had such a brain-fart when those laws were passed. And seriously they were passed because normal people said it was unfair to let them in the market because of their powers making everything easier, well cupcake so did your ancestors when they invented new things.
Cauldron...
The only justification I find to all they did was that Dr Mother and Contesa were medieval peasants or cavewomen (I think that's cannon?). Their entire philosophy is incredibly medieval: their obsession with feudalism, their search for a singular badass to defeat Zion, their complete disregard for combined arms tactics and the fact that they don't know how to handle Tinkers. I do believe that their inability to understand the value of tinkers was what led them to sacrifice Hero for Siberian.
But I can't help but feel like Piggot is veering into Fanon portrayal.
You think? I did try to have her been reasonable, and show that she does have a point.
Maybe I should tone that one line down a bit.
Am I the only one here that supports Piggot?
Having some strange person going around performing invasive surgery on people without consent or oversight is unacceptable.
If a normal doctor ignores protocol like this, it doesn't matter if they save someone, they're still getting prosecuted.
Piggot does make several good points. This time Peter's meddling was a success, but without proper supervision no one can be sure what he'll be doing next, eventually he may make a mistake and many people will die.
And yes, new medical techs go through an extensive testing phase for a reason.
Really, for self gratification the SI painted a huge target on a civilian. He'll always be at risk of kidnapping and having his heart ripped out and consequently putting his family and loved ones at risk.
Solution: give everyone new hearts, livers, and lungs.
Personally, I want to see Peter to join Toybox. Because fuck the PRT and Protectorate. Toybox can and will keep him safe, and give him access to some amazing other specializations. Imagine the fun he can have working with Dodge? Or Big Rig and his giant constructs? Or all of Pyrotechnical's explosions...
...or combining Dues Ex with Cranial Tech? Heh heh heh.
He knows, probably, that the S9 come after them. So he can keep them safe. And work as a local member of Toybox in BB. It would really keep him safe.
I do whant to use toybox more. I need to work on that.
