QUESTION: For [Gunwyrm] crafting, does channeling Dauntless's [Empowered Investor] into Miss Militia's [Omni-Weapon] count as "modifying firearms"?
Two benefits:
=(1) It'd increase the quality of Omni-Weapon's firearms.
=(2) It'd be a way to level-grind [Gunwyrm] if the crafting feat gains XP every time Alec puts a charge into [Omni-Weapon].

The Markwiss and Amy interactions were nice, Amy must be baffled that the Villain is nicer than than most of her family which she spent years with.
You know, this is something I dont get about this power. Shards want the powers they give to be used, but why the hell would I want to use a power thats beyond agonizing everytime I use it? Why didnt it make it so he couldnt feel pain from breaking bones? That shit hurts a lot.
His shard must be a jerk.
Still baffles me he choosed to try and fix Mimi instead of Bonesaw. Atleast with Bonesaw he knew had a chance of recovery, Mimi he just poked her to see if it would work.
Heck, now that I think about it, Bonesaw could have likely been able to help Mimi, tho she would need to be helped first.

He didn't have the time to spare nor was she worth the effort it would have taken.

It took years for Contessa to get her semi-functional after being weaned off of Jack's Master power, and she was still dangerously unstable.
Alchemist didn't have the time or the motivation to fix a psychotic monster who could end all life on the planet on a whim.
It's been talked about in the thread before, so I'm not really sure what you're unclear on.

I know this.
So just do the same thing that happened in canon and pass the bucket to contessa, I mean, he pretty much did this with Mimi in the end, just grab both of em and give them to contessa.
Maybe nom Doctor Mother on the way.
He really didnt need to do anything to them other than disarm Bonesaw and just... Hand them over the fedora lady.
Yeah bonesaw was unstable tho id argue mimi was worse of the two in the unstable scale.
Either way she ded so doesnt matter anyways, normally im fine with either outcome were she either gets a better ending or dies since she does deserve both things.
Also unrelated but now im kinda hoping amy does something about the whole bone agonizing thing, if only cause its a dumb thing for the shard to leave, I have no clue how the guy is capable of using his power more than once jesus, I cant stop thinking about it.

I don't think that giving world-ending weapons to enemies of humanity is a particularly good idea, and I know Al doesn't think so.

Are you talking about Cauldron or Contessa's shard?
Cause for Cauldron they are more likely to just shove her into an alt empty earth and deal with her later or slowly.
For Contessa... If the shard wanted humanity gone, it would likely have other ways to do it than using bonesaw.
Its not like she couldnt just Nab Amy anytime she wants or any other cape that has potential to end the world.

You're assuming Contessa is predictable outside of "do everything in the worst ways possible."

Her power doesnt do it the worst way possible, it does it the fastest and most effective way possible in its eyes.
For example she asked for a path to kill eden and gave it to her, but it didnt include her family safety so she asked again but keeping her family safe and gave her a longer path if memory serves right.
Then Eden nerfed her to either try and save itself or as a last 'fuck you' from it.
Suddenly Doctor Mother us there and helped fortuna stab eden to death.
Now that I think about, thats probably the one good thing DM did, since im not sure fortuna could have killed eden without DM guiding her on the end.

If I had to guess at the lack of explicit activity by Contessa, then it would most likely be due to there only being so much that Contessa can actually accomplish or manipulate.
Extraordinary precognition, free teleportation (On the opposite half of Earth Bet to Scion) and a vast amount of resources both in person and in raw materials harvested from empty Earths does make for a lot of leverage but the reach of the Eye is still limited by actors and time.
If it were more cost-effective to directly manipulate Amy, she would likely do so. But, if Amy were to be passively altered into a good enough state without direct intervention, then that is exactly what Contessa will do. And that is what happened following canon.
However, the Eye cannot properly account for things it cannot see. Introducing unseen variables causes severe alterations that ripple out and cause further issues until the new changes, visible outside of the field of ACCESS DENIED, can be viewed and modeled so the various predictive Shards can update their information. Which takes time and can be missed based on quite a lot of factors.
In short? The Eye is trying to be efficient because there's only so much that Contessa can do but it's getting increasingly garbled information because Alec, unlike Mantellum, is actively working on his own plans.

Wonder if contessa was already working on that?
I mean yeah they were hands off about BB but she also does have to handle potential S class threats and Amy definetly counts as a pontential one.
Dean with time could have had a pretty good chance of actually helping Amy according to WB, and he intended to, maybe contessa passively trying to disarm that bomb? But the Levi came and he died.
Heck his last thoughts were on how he didnt get to tell anyone about Amy's problems.

Is it wrong I somewhat imagine Alec dealing with an adversarial Contessa with a pie to the face that just so happens to knock her out?

If Alec made the pie, it was probably poisoned.
M: Apol-
Al: call me Al.
M, slightly irked: i would appreciate it if you could find Amelia's mother for me. Her name is Sheryl.
Al, with mounting dread: ... Bailey?
M, gleeful: excellent, you know her already!
Al, turning to Amelia: well, the good news is you have probably met her already.
Amelia: i think I'd remember a Sheryl...
Al: she's a tinker.
M: She triggered?! And joined the Protectorate???
Amelia: uhm, there's no tinkers I know in the Protectorate named Sheryl... And I doubt it's Dragon...
Al: blonde? Killer rack?
M: that's awfully reductionist but not untrue.
Al: yeah... She was a small time tinker for the Merchants. In case you weren't aware, their whole shtick was drugs. Using, making, smuggling, selling.
Amelia: SQUEALER?!?!!?!!
M, confused: well she certainly wasn't quiet but I find you knowing that very concerning.

I wonder what Marquee Marq will think when Amy tells him that the man that killed off the E88 also took out the monster that soloed an Endbringer and his ridiculously dangerous serial suicide bomber sidekick.
Pretty sure Amy's mum died to cancer or something like that so that's why he was looking after her.
That's a rather overly generous way of phrasing it since it's usually used to describe someone winning by themselves while Lung held back ramping up for a while then fought with others for a while before fighting on his own before Levi injured him an left with him only surviving because Alexandria fished him out of the water. That thing also isn't really that widely known about on account of it taking place pretty far into an endbringer atk and it being 1999.
QUESTION: Once the van's back area has been officially converted into a living environment, would putting charges into van via [Empowered Investor] count as "altering an enclosure" for the purposes of level-grinding [Environmental Engineer]?

Depends. If empowering our omniweapon in gun form counts for the Gun Tinker power, then I assume it would.
