I think how fucking terrified of her sister Harper was suggests she did suck. the minimum level of badness is extreme neglect where SB wasn't around enough to know the parent clones were feeding Harper rotten food and hitting her, with Harper being unable or unwilling to tell her.

Oh, I don't think she's good. I just think she's just... not all there herself, and wasn't actually paying any attention to what the clones were doing until she finally noticed Harper had left the house and not come back.
 
DNA Sample Power Visualization - Professor B New
Right, here's my attempt at mapping all of the power overlaps


Kind of broke down at the end but it does help me visualize. Hope you like it

And I do read, by the way, I see every time Leizi thinks "We can be more". It is a good message. It's just, do we really have to be more every single time? At this level of stakes?

Red Huntress was rich too? Old JU was looking privileged as hell; I'm surprised there wasn't more of the usual slander calling them hypocrites for that. "You say you defend the people but are in fact part of the 1%! Curious. I am very smart."

No need to carry water for Socialite Butterfly in my opinion; trying to kidnap Yara is already terrible.

Although, considering Yazmin's and Harper's childhood friendship, this whole thing might not be related to the company shares after all.
 
I thinks there's a difference between killing and murder
Yup Soldiers can be Killer but that doesnt make them murderers.

Also agree on no assasination but yes on Killing some villains that really do just need killing. Not sure about SB but LePrince is definately in the chopping block same with Foxglove for drugging girls to damnation since she;s the main one responsible for convincing girls to MGs.

I don't intend to carry water for her. I'm trying to figure out what she is about so we can better defeat her. Motive matters, to figuring out what someone actually wants, and hence how to beat them.

She is very much beyond the pale. That she's stayed low key enough every super in the city hasn't descended on her doesn't change that.

In this case the question is why she is going after Yara - and there are several possibilities. She is working for Yara's father is an obvious one, but that we are jump starting a clusterfuck tells me that is unlikely to be the case. So in that case it is likely personal. So then the question is why? Is she trying to get back at Uiara for stealing her sister? ...Is she in her own twisted way trying to protect Yara as Uiara did her sister?

side note, I don't think her power lets her see through the eyes of her clones.

Which means that, in theory, we could have Handyman kill a clone, emulate their appearance, join in with a group of clones and follow them back to her.

That would fit; the shown clone behavior matches clones that are obeying instructions but have no real-time connection to their creator, and hence couldn't adapt to the presence of a second person, among other things.

She likely can tell if one of her clones is lost, though, so that would work for finding her but is also likely to alert her when they actually reach her location even if handyman slips away before she actually sees him.

Maybe making them smart is basically like computer programming AI in a video game: Because making them adaptive is hard, you just set them to a loop with a few edge cases for particular stimuli.
 
Yeah, when I read what was happening, it read to me more like a computer doing what it was ordered to do, rather then what you intended.

"Buy food, store it safely and feed it to my sister. Make sure she eats it. Buy more when you're out and repeat." Simple instructions, but not a thing about throwing out or not serving her rotten food, because that's just basic, unspoken common sense.

Like, that might not have been the intention, but that's where my mind went while reading it.

That tracks to a certain extent, but the problem with the arguemt that SB was just neglegent isntead of malevolent is the slap.
Agreed on both points. I definitely think her being fed rotten food could easily be a straight up mistake from SB, but even if it were, everything here is still abuse. Even just being neglectful enough that someone is eating rotten food because of you is abuse.
 
Mechanic question:

Ellie's in Rock, and takes a hit that does 1 damage, blocked by the first of the two Advanced Shielding. Then, because she has to swap tactics, she moves to Paper or Scissors.

Does the 1/2 become 1/1, or 0/1?
 
Take control of the dream—but there is a burning light behind your eyes growing brighter. You feel like your vision is simultaneously blurring and growing sharper. You squeeze your eyes shut, open them—

—and wake up.
Whole section felt to me like someone using dreams to read LL's mind, but this part really solidified it for me.

Notice how throughout the whole thing "secrets" kept being spilled left and right throughout the scene breaks. But maybe they were only able to direct the dream to the concept of secrets and wasn't able to direct it to exactly what secrets get shown. Except they underestimated LL's compartmentalization ability I guess, and also how much LL values the interpersonal moments that are precious secrets to her but worthless to anyone else but her.
 
Nope especially with specialty in physic The Philosophers seem to have.

Im more suprised Leizi is being affected while in the apiary i supose the protection isnt Omniscient to not ahut down a dream manipulator if thats whats happening to Leizi.

I am no way confirming it. I just can't resist a good joke! The Apiary's psychic defense are pretty total considering the Contingency is there after all.
