The Spark of Madness
Date 07 January 2011
In the afternoon, Danny finally looked up the piece of legislation that changed the landscape for Parahuman businesses, the NEPEA-5 Bill. Curiosity piqued, Danny delved into the intricacies of the bill, spending all day at his cluttered desk surrounded by stacks of legal documents and reports.
The NEPEA-5, officially known as the Neo-Enhanced Powers Equality Act, was touted as a groundbreaking measure to address the growing concerns surrounding Parahuman businesses. It aimed to bring about fairness and equality, or so the politicians claimed.
As Danny sifted through the dense jargon, he discovered the section buried deep within the bill that caused the Elite to go into crime. The NEPEA-5 Bill proposed a substantial increase in taxes for businesses owned and operated by Parahumans. The reasoning, as stated in the bill, was to level the economic playing field and ensure that all businesses contributed fairly to society.
In essence? A business was taxed based on how much it saved, as compared to competitors by using Parahuman labor.
As Danny delved deeper into the NEPEA-5 Bill, he uncovered yet another layer. Beyond the general tax increases for Parahuman businesses, a specific provision within the bill stipulated that employing Parahumans in non-superhero-related roles would result in higher corporate taxes. However, there was a notable exception—superhero teams.
The legislation outlined that businesses employing individuals with enhanced powers for purposes other than crime-fighting or heroics would be subjected to a tiered tax structure. The more Parahuman employees a company had, the higher the corporate taxes it would face. This provision supposedly aimed to encourage businesses to contribute more to society and mitigate potential concerns about Parahuman-dominated industries.
Surprisingly, the bill included a unique exemption for businesses directly involved in superhero activities. Superhero teams, typically formed to combat crime and protect the city, were granted special privileges. Companies that operated as superhero teams or provided services and technologies directly supporting superhero efforts were eligible for tax breaks and incentives.
Discovered: Parahuman ownership or employment results in higher taxes. Exemption is Super hero teams.
But it was not just that. As Danny continued to dig deeper into the NEPEA-5 Bill, he stumbled upon another clause that added fuel to the controversy. In the dense legal language, he uncovered a clause that required companies with Parahuman employees to maintain a workforce size equivalent to what they would have needed if they didn't employ individuals with enhanced powers.
The provision, tucked away in the bill's employment regulations, stated that businesses employing Parahumans were obligated to hire additional non-Parahuman employees to meet an arbitrary "average" workforce size and pay them similar wages as competitors. The rationale behind this requirement, as explained in the bill, was to prevent potential discrimination against non-Parahuman workers and ensure job opportunities for everyone.
Discovered: You still need to employ the average number of workers for a company without Parahumans in your field.
As Danny continued his investigation into the NEPEA-5 Bill, he uncovered yet another provision, this time related to the tinker communities. Within the bill's text, he found a clause that explicitly banned the use of Tinker technology, citing the inability to replicate such advancements as a primary reason.
Tinker technology, known for its unique and often non-reproducible nature, and Parahuman inventors, colloquially referred to as Tinkers, were known for creating groundbreaking gadgets and inventions that often defied conventional understanding. However, the NEPEA-5 Bill took a drastic stance, deeming these technological marvels too unpredictable and exclusive for widespread use.
The legislation argued that the non-replicability and necessary maintenance of Tinker tech posed potential risks to public safety and economic equity. Lawmakers expressed concerns that businesses relying on Tinker inventions could gain an unfair advantage, while the uncontrolled proliferation of such technology might lead to unintended consequences.
Upon further inspection, he found that the bill did not outright ban creations resulting from Tinker technology or Parahuman powers. Instead, it introduced restrictions aimed at ensuring the safety and stability of such innovations.
The key provision focused on the replicability and permanence of structures or technologies created by Tinkers or Parahumans. According to the bill, as long as a creation was not a mere projection and could be conventionally produced or maintained, it was permitted. This measure aimed to address concerns about the potential hazards associated with vanishing structures or unpredictable phenomena linked to certain Parahuman abilities.
The only exception to using tinker tech was for emergencies like Uppercrust's City shields.
Discovered: Tinker tech and Projections banned. But using Tinker tech or Parahuman powers to make a factory is allowed as is anything permanent produced from tinker tech, provided it is not tinker tech and used as a tool that can be replicated and is not a final product.
The legislation also, rather than outright banning these thinkers and precogs, imposed severe restrictions on their employment opportunities, specifically prohibiting them from working in non-heroic roles within companies.
The bill argued that Parahumans with Thinker and precognitive abilities posed unique challenges in non-heroic work environments. Thinkers were deemed too unpredictable and potentially disruptive for conventional industries and economies. Similarly, individuals with precognitive powers were considered a liability, as their foresight might lead to ethical concerns or unintended consequences in non-heroic settings.
Discovered: Blanket ban on Thinkers and Precogs as a Company employee.
Danny's eyes were watering and it took quite a bit of effort to not fall asleep. Trying to focus on the bill and its effects, he suddenly struck a jackpot. He managed to uncover a critical loophole in the NEPEA-5 Bill that could significantly alter its impact on him and the Bay. Through careful examination and analysis, he discovered that the bill defined Parahumans as individuals with powers legally recognized as such by law. However, case laws established a precedent that people who had been granted powers by a Parahuman were not considered Parahumans themselves.
This revelation opened up a new avenue of exploration for Danny as he delved into the legal intricacies surrounding the definition of Parahumans.
He quickly looked up the landmark court case that redefined the legal status of individuals granted powers by Parahumans. The case revolved around Teacher, ironically enough. The central question before the court was whether those who received powers from Teacher were legally considered Parahumans themselves.
The crux of the legal argument lay in the definition of Parahumans under existing laws. The court, in its ruling, distinguished between inherent Parahumans, those who triggered with powers and individuals who had been granted powers through external means, specifically in Teacher's case.
Key aspects of the legal research revealed:
1. Legal Precedent: The court's decision in the Teacher case set a significant legal precedent. It established that individuals granted powers by a Parahuman were not legally considered Parahumans themselves. This decision was based on the idea that the conferred powers were not innate but granted externally.
2. External Granting of Powers: The court emphasized the external nature of the power-granting process. Individuals who received powers were essentially conduits for Parahuman abilities, rather than inherently possessing those abilities. This distinction played a pivotal role in shaping the legal interpretation.
3. Rights and Protections: The legal research delved into the rights and protections afforded to individuals granted powers. As they were not classified as Parahumans, their legal standing differed in various contexts, including employment, education, and potential legal consequences related to the use of their powers.
4. Public Safety Considerations: The court took into account public safety concerns when making the distinction. The legal reasoning acknowledged that individuals granted powers might not pose the same level of unpredictability or potential danger as inherent Parahumans.
5. Rehabilitation and Integration: Legal discussions highlighted the potential for rehabilitation and integration into society for those granted powers. This became a key consideration in the court's decision, reflecting a nuanced approach to the legal status of empowered individuals.
As Danny's research unfolded, he became acutely aware of the nuanced perspectives surrounding the legal definition of Parahumans. The court's decision marked a departure from conventional classifications and opened the door to saving Brockton Bay. The implications of this ruling extended beyond the courtroom, influencing societal perceptions and shaping the future legal landscape for empowered individuals in Brockton Bay.
Discovered: People granted powers by a Parahuman are not considered parahumans, legally speaking.
Tired and triumphant, Danny did not notice Kurt entering the room, the distraction bringing relief to Danny, who had been eagerly anticipating news on the progress on his home.
"Danny, the house is all set. We've made the necessary arrangements, and everything's ready to bring Taylor home." Kurt said with a reassuring smile.
A weight seemed to lift off Danny's shoulders as he responded, "That's fantastic, Kurt. I appreciate your help with getting everything in order. I can't wait for Taylor to be back home."
Kurt nodded, understanding the significance of the moment. "Lacy and I have taken care of everything. We just want to make sure Taylor's transition is as smooth as possible."
With the assurance that the house was prepared and Taylor's homecoming imminent, Danny felt a mix of gratitude and anticipation. The prospect of having Taylor back in a familiar and caring environment brought a sense of comfort during what had been a challenging time. They were ready to welcome her home.

[] Bring her home tomorrow itself
[] The Doctor asked Danny to keep her in observation longer. Perhaps he should wait?

It is kind of funny how nuanced the perspective on what is a parahuman is compared to the blanket ban on Thinkers. 'Our investigators cannot deal with enforcing the law on Thinkers in the the corporate world so we are going to make all corporate Thinkers illegal'.

The drafters literally flipped thd table trying to restrict thinkers and Precogs. They then went ,"Fu** it" and brought down the ban hammer rather than "Deal with that BS"
Drafters of Prohibition: Yep, that works great and will have no unwelcome side-effects.

The Spark of Madness
08th January 2011
The day arrived for Taylor's homecoming. Danny, Kurt, and Lacy coordinated to bring Taylor back from the hospital to the familiar surroundings of their home. The atmosphere was a mix of hope and concern as they prepared for this significant moment in Taylor's journey.
In the hospital room, they carefully maneuvered around medical equipment, ensuring Taylor was comfortably and securely transported. The Doctor provided guidance, offering instructions on how to best support Taylor during the transition.
As they left the hospital, the car ride was filled with a mixture of silence and quiet conversations. Each member of the group processed their emotions differently, the weight of responsibility and care palpable in the air.
Upon arriving home, they gently carried Taylor into the house, placing her in a specially arranged room where she could receive the necessary care. Lacy had ensured that everything was in order, from medicines to a comfortable bed.
The house, while welcoming, held an underlying somberness as they settled Taylor into her new space. Kurt and Lacy said their goodbyes and left, leaving Danny alone until the new nurse arrived in the evening.
In the quiet moments, Danny found himself contemplating the challenges ahead. Suddenly, the voice that had played such a crucial role in recent events.
"Daniel, as Taylor's legal guardian and in the acceptance and commitment you both share, it is recognized as an oath." the voice said.
Danny, taken aback, sought clarification, "An oath? Are you sure?"
"An oath is a binding commitment, and it holds a certain weight in the fabric of reality. Your acceptance of the responsibility for Taylor's care, coupled with her acknowledgment and acceptance of you as her father, creates a powerful connection. It signifies a shared commitment. All you need to do is sanctify it." The voice responded.
With a sense of both awe and trepidation, Danny nodded, understanding that their acceptance of responsibility had set in motion something profound.
Lost 1 Willpower-> Now at 5/6.
Danny watched as slowly but surely, Taylor healed and in the room prepared for her at home, Taylor slowly stirred from her comatose state. As awareness returned, she found herself surrounded by familiar surroundings. Danny, watching over her with a mixture of anticipation and concern, noticed the subtle signs of her awakening.
Their eyes met, and a profound sense of relief washed over Danny. Without hesitation, he moved closer to Taylor, and a mixture of emotions played on his face. As Taylor fully opened her eyes, a moment of recognition passed between them, a silent acknowledgment of the journey they had been through.
"Dad," Taylor whispered, her voice weak but filled with warmth.
Danny's eyes welled up with tears as he replied, "Taylor." He reached out, and in a tender embrace, they shared a hug that spoke volumes. The connection between them, forged by trials and challenges, felt stronger than ever in that moment.
It was a hug that transcended words, a testament to the unspoken bond between parent and child. As they held each other, the weight of the past and the hope for the future mingled in the embrace, symbolizing a new chapter in their lives filled with recovery, resilience, and the strength of their enduring connection.

Reasoning
- Have to do it
- It's extra AP... 'have to do it'. Seriously though that is one of the most efficient things we can learn and the sooner we learn it the better
- Between the utility of telekinesis and construction teams this looks like a very good idea
- If we are going to do this we do not want to come off as too hostile, the point here is for Emma to get help, bury the school officials and pull on the thread that is Sophia
- Including this for the sake of completeness, it is locked and we of course have to do it
- We need to do this to pay the nurse, but also in general money is good to have
- We should really figure out what the city needs before we get cracking
- Danny is heavily specked for crafting, reagents are very useful to have as we move forward
- Get the lay of the land, if we are going to clean up the city we need to know more about the major gangs
- Second verse same as the first
- Hopefully this will lead to us encountering some of the smaller players we could recruit
