So. Chris turns-up in a Brockton Bay. All is peaceful. No Merchants, ABB, E88. Uber and Leet run a popular puppet theatre, with Parian. The PRT have been disbanded. The bay is clear, there's a Ferry running.Remember, if you can't see a Taylor, all that means is there is a hidden Taylor somewhere. Possibly behind you.

Funny thing always has been for me is that Taylor is described as physically the kind of girl I would have been pining over when I was in high school. Tall, slight figure (never quite got the desire for something bigger than a giant's head), and most importantly, INTELLIGENT. So knowing that there was always a Taylor somewhere? YAY! *laugh*
My problem is that she probably would have thought of me like Greg Veder. I have never in my life even REMOTELY looked like Brian Laborn. I had a runner's body (please, no jokes about giving it back ... *laugh*), so some muscles, but I was always a bland looking person. It's why I have the mustache and goatee these days - to actually have SOME character to my face.

I think you should be considering the possibility of a Huginator... Or more than one? There's a lot of multiverses, out there, and wider coverage might be helpful...
I do recommend them not always arriving nude, though. It might... unduly interfere with their mission...

You have, yes. I quite liked your story when I read it a bit ago.

I'm no Tinker, and neither is Nathan. Nathan has exactly one dimension hopper, and it's not exactly accessible.

Did it come with a manual? Has Nathan read it?
(Also. Tinker-tech. Doesn't it need maintenance/always break, sooner or later? Desire for a thousand-dimension service?)

It needs maintenance, the same as non-tinker tech does. It does not necessarily break sooner. It just requires specialist maintenance only a tinker can provide.Did it come with a manual? Has Nathan read it?

It absolutely did not come with a manual. It also came without such niceties as a control interface or consent to have it implanted into him.Did it come with a manual? Has Nathan read it?
As for maintenance issues, it is starting to have some issues with delivering him at ground-level.

Just hope that one day, you can do something with a post-Worm, Taylor.
A story where she gets back in the game, even if it's a different game.
With all the Edchina(?) clones of Skitter, I never really got that one Worm epilogue, you know.
Should have been easy for Contessa, to use those death clone bodies, to repair Taylor her body.
Maybe even enhancing it, in some way(s).
Thus don't get why she was still arm-less.
Contessa & Bonesaw, both should have had the ability to used those clones, to restore Taylor her limb, at the minimum.
Hell, even Panacea should be able to do that one.
We never saw a clone with more then two powers, there must have been a reason for that one, I bet.
So which power would actually well in terms of supporting Taylor her original bug control?
Transportation, but who had such a power & was cloned or killed in a way that their corona's, where saved???
Too bad, Squeeler is out, right???
Implants & the like, like Bonesaw her power, had?
Uber his skill mastery ability?
Kid Win his multipurpose modulairity?
I for one, would love a Taylor, who used her bug control more in the crafting ways of things.
In canon, she used bug-shells & spider-silk, to get a Dragon Skin like armor setup, which thanks to natural products, don't have as much heat & cold problems, as a bonus.
I bet she could do waaay more then that.
Just think of using Termites for wood working.
What Laminated Bug Shell Plates could mean for say crafting a bow, or else going back to the Termites, spider-silk for the bow-string.
And that's without going for bug made cement alternatives.
I think that if Taylor really wanted it, she could do quite a lot, in terms of crafting her own things.
Do we know a setting, where we could let a post-Worm, restored Taylor, be stranded at?
Like say a island or so?
But which one?
Do we have any setting we can drop her in, that is like Gulliver's Island & The Mysterious Island, so we can have her all alone, for a while?
Bonus if any of the nearby locals, will force her to pull a Vandread Female Demon(ic) Armor look, just to scare them away, better.
Would laugh if she made a spider-silk version of Muslin, though., but considering it's still see-true, it might be something for the eye pieces, as a extra glas/visor protection.
I think the Vesta Taylor fusing could do with a good cloak, you know.
Might survive the transformation.

Wizarding Dual

Blame Discord...
"Stupid Mudblood..."
"Right! That bloody does it, Malfoy! I challenge you to a dual!"
"A duel? With you Granger? Don't make me laugh. But if you want to die, be my guest. Ten minutes, in the courtyard."
"Fine. Don't be late to the moment of your humiliation."
"I think someone might not be correct about who will be humiliated..."
"We'll see. We will indeed see."
---
"Um, Hermione?"
"Yes, Harry?"
"Why are you challenging Malfoy to a duel?"
"A dual, Harry. And it's because he's Malfoy. That should be reason enough, shouldn't it?"
"She's got a point Harry. He's a total pillock."
"A dual?"
"That's what I said."
"You're not just mispronouncing duel?"
"Oh, no. Not at all. I've been wanting to try this new spell I came up with..."
"She's doing that thing again, Harry. Make her stop. It scares me."
"Hee hee hee..."
"Just back away slowly, Ron. Don't turn your back."
"Poor Malfoy."
---
"Well, Mudblood? Shall we begin? I'm looking forward to this."
"As am I."
"I'm actually impressed you turned up."
"Oh, I wouldn't miss this for the world. Miss Greengrass? I believe you wish to call the start?"
"On three, then. Malfoy, Granger, take your places."
"One.. Two... Three!"
"Flipendius!" "Corpus Duplicitus!"
---
"He missed."
"He's a crap shot. But what the hell just happened? Why are there two of her now?"
"I said I challenged him to a dual, Harry, do keep up!"
"Two of her in perfect sync is creepy as hell, Harry. She's scaring me again."
"Foul! What trickery is this, Granger?"
"It's magic, Malfoy. Parry this you casual."
"Ooh... two simultaneous shots to the groin from two different directions! Direct hit! Twice! Malfoy is down! Will he recover in time?"
"Please stop narrating, Harry."
"But it's hilarious!"
"I know, but you're making people look at you."
"...I'm making people look at me? There are two of you!"
"He's getting up. And he really looks a bit ticked."
"..."
"And now there are four of her..."
"Poor Malfoy. That must have hurt."
"Miss Greengrass?"
"Winner, Miss Granger. Grangers. By a knockout and humiliating last strike."
"Hurrah!"
"Thank you, Harry. Let's go to lunch. I'm hungry enough to eat for four people..."

That would work even better if she screwed up and somehow gave herself the powers of Dupli-Kate.

Is it a spelling error if you're doing it intentionally though?The logical outcome of a spelling error
That aside. This was funny as heck and I'm honestly surprised that the trio didn't challenge Malfoy to duels more often given his inability to keep his foot out of his mouth around them. The number of times he said something offensive that could have been used to call for an official duel would have frankly filled a book all on its own.

What if: Hermione gets ahold of a book on computer programming (BASIC maybe) then learns the "wash your mouth out with soap" spell and figures out how to cast something with trigger conditions based on the "If value = spoken word "mudblood" then "spell: soap mouth" so that every time Draco says "mudblood" then he ends up spitting up warm soapy water.

That........huh......that'd honestly make for a actually kinda cracky fanfic. Although I'd advise not putting it on AO3 for the moment as its being kinda screwy
She's gonna end up making a Combat Golem or something
