well, for the first, apparently Cattyness Pulled a Hebert and confirmed what she said. which goes completely against everything that anyone knows about powers. so any valid PRT theories would've only lasted 48 hours at the longest. within that timeframe, Taylor was well and truly dead and rotting. and unlike Weld (the Ward you're thinking about), Taylor demonstrates no signs of being a Case 53, nor does she show any signs of adapted/adaptable biology (like Aegis, who can survive a ridiculous amout of things that should kill him). In fact, according to the CDC people, she's still rotting. at that point, it became their issue.
hold on, tangent time 🤓 :
So, I'm thinking that there's probably a few different groups who were handling Taylor's body at different points. here's the possible chain of handoffs, based on what I've read so far:
so the final chain looks like this:
- Winslow High School (WHS). sheer incompetency leads to disciplinary issued being so badly bungled that Taylor dies, leading to...
- Brockton Bay Police Department (BBPD) takes over the case, opening a Homicide investigation. CDC is contacted to clean up mess left behind due to it's nature as a Biohazard. the exception being Taylor's remains, as that's evidence which falls directly into the joint custody of the BBPD and...
- Brockton Bay Coroner's Office (BBCO) handles the Autopsy. fairly straight forward so far, until Taylor wakes up.
- Parahuman Response Team - East-Northeast Division (PRT-ENE) gets involved as a result of Taylor waking up, and is further involved as a result of Taylor identifying Shadow Stalker's civilian identity as a suspect. Taylor remains in the custody of the BBPD.
- Taylor is released into the custody of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), on the grounds that her decomposing nature creates a serious biological hazard, which must be addressed before it becomes a serious problem. after she is fully skeletonized and disinfected, she is released.
- Taylor is released into the custody of Her Father (DAD), as she is not a suspect in any criminal investigation, her life is no longer in danger, and she no longer poses a risk to any member of the general public.
WHS->BBPD->BBCO->PRT-ENE->CDC->DAD
basically, there wasn't any reason to bug her about the whole "no, you're a parahuman" thing, and no chance to do so, especially since the overwhelming evidence meant that such insistence without being able to demonstrate how it worked would've made them look like idiots.
On the second point,Twothree words: Cremation and Concrete. let's see 'em try to move when their bodies are buried in concrete. (suicide rate in the most tyranical hellholes would still skyrocket the second the news breaks, though).
on the third point, how did you do those Emoji's? oh, that's how. nice selection these days. 👻 👻
I agree! Just me ranting about how the PRT/Protectorate likes to keep information from the public, especially information that they feel the peasants shouldn't have, lest they get ideas of their own.
They like to grab anything/anyone who has any type of ability as a cape to try to gain control of them. Honestly Cauldron must've had blackmail on all of congress with the crap that goes on and you never hear a peep out of anyone in the federal authority.
But yeah...that. And all hail all of the new emoji's! 🤗🤗🤗🥳
