... You want to tell the Shaker 9 she can't?
It is in fact illegal to force a minor to remain on the Wards against their will, regardless of what any parent/guardian has to say about it.

*snort* The length of her patience would probably be measured in minutes.
What are the others?It's funny that 2 of the 3 ongoing Worm/MGLN stories I'm reading now are at the "magic up Missy" stage

While it's due to OOC information, we really don't have a reason to delay giving Missy the serum. We won't get better odds since her result is fixed, the Miss Militia situation is now quite clear, there's no reason to wait.
[ ] Brew Linker Core mutagenic serum for Missy (1 slot, 1 tech point)
Should really be a given with that, but what else? We could get a jumpstart on Kayleigh's device (even though we haven't had the scene with her yet, we know the result and the gunslinger plan). It seems like it should be an Intelligent device to me, like Teana's Cross Mirage.
Without the full information on Laura we can't do anything there I'd say, so that'll have to wait till next time.
Since we went through the trouble of making the Grey Boy Bubble popper, we should probably do some of that. Some general Fixing of issues that are long-standing. The Hopekiller's dead, but doing something to combat issues that've existed for years past the creator's death would be good for world morale too. And a huge PR boost for our biggest allies in Dragon and Tim.

Out of curiosity,, could we have Tim run some experiments (SCIENCE!) to see if he figures out the whole "multiple small, less danger of catastrophic mutation" thing?
And sorry if it's been brought up already, I skimmed but didn't see anything.

Help Missy with clean break from wards, but don't push her into mutation. You feel her master experience is colouring her judgement.
Try to talk to Alexandria about Nilbog… You really need to test that Ragnarok properly.

Since she'd be a D-rank and can't use any* of the advantages of an advanced Device, she would do just fine with a Storage Device as a bracelet or something. I actually have an idea for physical guns Firefly could build for her.
* An Armed Device would still give her Knight Armor and the ability to make cartridges because those come by default, though I would strongly recommend against the latter. She will only be able to make one cartridge per day but many more magical bullets.
It was brought up in the discussion before this chapter. The answer was yes, he could spend another one to two slots to learn that IC.
This... isn't right in any way. You have no subvotes, and both of the activities you detailed below are social votes, not stuff for Tim to build.

Good to know. The bigger part is that, yes, we can make her device now. The sooner we do that the sooner she's gaining passive xp, the guns themselves can come later.
So I propose

We have Tim doing more research on how to do Mutagenics safely, which satisfies the characters that we're not harming Missy. Then, with the research done, they make her serum. We also get Kayleigh her device early and do some goodwill with popping a couple of Grey Boy's bubbles.
We seem to be leaning towards giving Standstill a template, so making a device for her here wouldn't fit? Or maybe it would, the Grey Boy stuff isn't essential, but it's good to do. Laura's just a no because we don't know about Rare Stills or core rank or have any kind of plan for her. Other than her being a Fate Expy.

...this is going to be complicated. at this point i am less concerned with helping Missy and more concerned with doing it in a way that doesn't destroy use legally. Militia's bias doesn't protect us from the law and considering just how much this is going to effect the protectorate them coming after Taylor for this completely understandable, not to mention the youth guard and the standard laws on kids. seriously this can get us into deep trouble if we do it wrong, so we need to make sure we do it right. so the steps we should go for
1. get missy out of the wards
2. create a legal reason for why missy would require the mutation

I'm liking [] Plan More Mages, but maybe with
[ ] Resurgerize Missy and adapt her old arms (2 slots, 0 tech points) fit in?
Edit: maybe like this:
[ ] Plan Mech Mage Missy
-[ ]Experiment further with LCM and try to see how mutations can be managed or directed (2 slots)
-[ ] Brew Linker Core mutagenic serum for Missy (1 slot, 1 tech point)
-[ ] Resurgerize Missy and adapt her old arms (2 slots, 0 tech points)
Thoughts? I like the idea of popping Grey Boy bubbles but Missy the adorable cyber mage is too perfect.

I'm working on the next chapter as we speak.
It's referenced in this chapter, but cape's masked identities are treated as though they are separate people legally, and not all laws are applied. It's why when independent capes show up to S-class events, nobody asks them for proof that they are of legal age to participate and why Tim isn't already facing legal complaints for performing surgery on Missy in the first place. His defense is that he is a cape surgeon who performed surgery on a cape.
Standard laws may be a concern, but YG's oversight authority extends to only the Wards program, which Missy is leaving very shortly.

We don't know the results of the serum, it'd be better to wait so that the surgery can be synergized with the mutation.

That's true, hmmm. Decisions are hard.
so what happens when missy is no longer Vista or a cape at all? at that point per your statement she would be just a minor and the standard laws should apply. so what happens then now you go civilan missy with a cyber arm and getting mutated?
Can't say I'm keen on cutting off what's left of Missy arm, or her other arm, to further her transhumanism bent. Replacing a lost limb is one thing, replacing a limb outright is another. I'm fine with the former but very much not the latter.
And, yeah, like FictionPack said, even if people want to go that route better to find out what's up with the mutation first.
If it comes out before the vote closes, great, we can revise. I don't think that'll happen though, will it?
Probably going to be a pretty big discussion on what to do with Laura anyway, just look how long it took for us to scan Kayleigh in the first place...
She won't be Vista, but I don't think at any point she'll stop being a cape. Even swapping her world-warping shaker powers for magic, she'll still be a cape. Hell, for her to stop being a Parahuman she'd have to have taken the mutation and gotten a device. Otherwise she'd still be Totally-Not-Vista the Space Bending Cape.

Yeah I think I'll roll with
[X] Plan More Mages
unless we get some sort of confirmation that the mutations won't screw with hypothetical new arm. And yeah, I personally lean more towards the transhumanism side of things so seeing a character embrace it I kind of want to help, but I can understand why others might not.

As Elwyn said, she would still have a shard when she gets the mutagen, so she's still a parahuman up until she gets a Device and loses her shard. Even then, though, Taylor isn't a parahuman and gets all the benefit. Mages and parahumans are both capes, at least until the PRT and their mages overturn that paradigm, but by the time that happens and all the dust settles, Missy will probably be a legal adult anyway.
Of course not. I never post a new chapter until the vote's closed.
*snicker* I would be surprised if there weren't.
Plus I'm going to have a vote about what to do about Lacey, too.
OOC, I think everyone knows that Missy's mutation is going to be minor and therefore cosmetic. IC though, waiting until you see the result of the mutation makes sense.
