In Nuclear Fire

Get it in gear Peat! Newt outright told you she'd wait but not forever! That is a Green Flag my dude! You've got some time to get your shit together but that also means you need to get it together right the fudge now!
 
Don't watch, I did when I was younger...........pretty much everyone involved ends up being horrible people, oddly enough they can fit right in with Worm and I have seen parts of it being used in a DxD quest quite well.

Ah yes, DxD, another setting full of horrible people. :V

I'm not joking though.

Argento is in danger and needs to GTFO ASAP.
 
I feel like this whole blood robot child thing is gonna spiral down even more because of shard bullshittery to create conflict

Like how newt said something related to time or something like waiting? And Peter just never brings it up or avoids it
 
Newt raises an eyebrow. "That's correct," she says without joy in her tone. "Can you guys wait outside?" She tells the drones without taking her eyes away from me. "We need some privacy."

Those words never meant anything good.

They mean focus and judgment.

I never wanted to take a stand against anything.

The background is safe. Mine is the existence of another face in the crowd, of just another cog in the machine. One that doesn't need to worry where it's going or why it's going there, and its only concern is to keep spinning so it's not replaced.

It's when my pride blinds me and I try to step beyond my boundaries that everything goes wrong.
Oh he's Crona. Neat.
 
I don't want to hope but, and it is a BIG BUT, i am reading Valerye as the first natural trigger but without the conflict drive? I mean yeah she have the trigger trauma but if i interpreting it correctly the Kyndrian crystals are interfering with the conflic drive? Or just making outside influences harder? I don't remember any other parahuman portrayed as a "child acting her own age".
I'm not playing that hard on the whole 'conflict drive thing' but I will confirm that Khaydarin makes it harder for shards to do their typical shenanigans.
This is extra hilarious because Peter's entire "flesh is weak" mentality is all about waiting forever: your issues can be dealt with by outliving the concequenses.
That is a very good way to summarize one of his issues. If he can't run from his problems he will outlast them.
Ah yes, DxD, another setting full of horrible people. :V
One day, one day I'll write this exact same story but with all those 'borderline hentai' trees were you power up by... well, doing stuff that we better don't discus in SV. Like DxD, Aika or Seikon no Qwaser.
Naturally if I ever do that I'll post it in QQ.

He will be forced to face all this very soon so don't worry about escalating conflict from this source.
 
Wait until he realizes Peter never got the talk and already has a child. I wonder how awkward that conversation will be.
But he did get the talk.
From Danny actually.
Don't you remember?
Danny spends a moment in deep thought, tapping a finger against his knee. "Very well. If you promise to stay with them at all times, I'll allow it." Victory! "Now Taylor, please, leave us alone. I want a moment to talk to Peter, man to man."

Eh? This was not part of the plan.

Without uttering a single word Taylor raises from her seat and leaves, giving me in her way out what looks like a mischievous grin.

Now that we're alone, Danny sits next to me and places a hand on my shoulder.

"Young man." His voice is deep as if we were partaking in some ancient ceremony. "You must have noticed that your body is going through some changes. Hair has started growing in weird places and your voice doesn't sound right." Is… is he doing what I think he's doing? Please someone tell me this isn't happening! "You may wonder what this has to do with Aisha. Well, the thing with girls is-"

Oh, God.

OH, GOD!
 
I know character development is important for the story. But i wish it happened ofscreen. Reading about Peter is like reading about Nuclear pshysics, it is important and it is maybe real but by god it is boring.
I hope we can see some new toys to conquer Earth Bet with.

And for the record I don't see MM as a particularly good person. Far from the worst but she's incredibly hypocritical.
Never read cannon myself. How so?
Mmm, that's how she came out as? I was trying to write her as a selfless person trying to get through a very selfish one. It wasn't my intention for her to come off as patronizing, even if she is talking to someone she sees as a child.
It mostly comes off that way. Especially if one remembers TP as an unreliable narrator. And Dragon is rule bound. So likely required to spout that stuff.
But it is a little bit hypocritical for her to being a situation where she has to follow every rule and order without exception while trying to improve the world and unearth Tinkertech secrets for mass understanding and mass production so people can have what they need and get the edge to fight crime only to turn around and say spreading the mass producible tech is wrong.
I'd imagine there be some parallels between Tinkers being outlawed something they can't do anyway and her forced to follow rules that her shackles refuse her to do anyway. If the was a law that said AIs have to reveal themselves and urn themselves in then Dragon would have been forced to put herself a long time ago.
It was had that kind of thinking that made Western Union go downhill from it's glory days and nearly stopped the Dyson vacuum, and stymied the miracle mop.

If you want to see engines of mass destruction, city-destroying battled in the sky, and Glorious Evolution I assure you that you won't be disappointed, but this is an important part for the story I want to tell.

I didn't either but I did talk to people who did and read up on the topic.
Most people use her as Armsmaster counterpart, as a team mom who's more human and approachable than Colin. In reality she can be just as much of a stick in the mud as him.
She's a soldier through and through, extremely inflexible and the kind of person who'd gun civilians down without thinking about it twice just because her superior ordered her to.
can have what they need and get the edge to fight crime only to turn around and say spreading the mass producible tech is wrong.
She never said that. She'd be more than happy to spread technology to improve people's lives, but Peter made it fairly clear that he'd be happy with rampant exploitation that drains people's pockets, enforces loyalty to his monopoly, and pushes any form of competition out of business.
Basically she's afraid that Heavy Gear may end up changing their name to Arasaka Industries.

Know she didn't, it's just how she came off for me.
Didn't see that, TP's pov probably didn't help.
Did she actually gun down civilians or is that just an example of what she be willing to do?
Did she really hold a Undersides hostage in cannon?

Her trigger event was experiencing a group of soldiers following orders without questioning them.
And now she is a soldier who follows orders without questioning them.

MM is personable, not nice, which people tend to forget.
That is weird to me. She's one of the few who went the opposite way with her Trigger Event. Know the Trigger Event know the crux of who they are or why they do what they do. One would think with her Trigger Event she'd be about as inclined to follow orders as Aisha. Hell she broke orders to gun down her captors and free herself and other kids yeah? There's gotta be more to her Trigger Event.
