Is there a mission or anything we can do to figure out what this is? Is it something LL already knows?

She knows it exists, but only Nora was a 100% certain what it is.
The Apiary will let you know when you're ready.

Oh, definitely. But neglect is a different kind of mindset, and that's important to figuring out wtf is with her coming after Yara. It's still abuse for sure.

A thought: we know Harper never ended up telling the others about her sister. I wonder how much of that was because of this? Seeing the reaction to LL killing her monstrous relative?

Yeah, most likely. JU didn't need that kind of publicity. But at least that act gave her the idea to ask LL to do it if things turned to the worst.

This is probably going to break a lot of ethics laws, but I just had an idea: we already have decent medical technology and Lady Leizi likely includes doctors among her contacts, and Horizon has no free healthcare. What if we set up a clinic in or near the Apiary and used it to screen candidates for Project Prometheus ? It could be a action similar to Move That Bus.
Also, I've been thinking about possible Traits similar to the one Ellie has, and I personally think that any trait Soraia would have doesn't necessarily boost her stats, but rather would give a bonus to Spider's Web or the ESP check at the beginning of each turn, or might give a free Candidate every issue since she knows a lot of trustworthy people.
This is a bit old but I think Soraia wouldn't have problems with him outside of "this is going to hurt our PR", but I'm only her creator and Bitterman has the final say.
Now im wondering what mission tweaks there would have been for a different survivor. Like Hunter would still have wanted SB dealt with, but would she have asked Yara to kill her? Rakeem obviously has different instructions for the engagement ring.
The other last wills would obviously be emotionally different, but I cant think of any other content changes if we weren't playing LL.

Had you chosen VS or Uiara their messages to each other would have been devastating. VS's arc would have been about accepting her inevitable death, and Uiara's was about collapsing under the weight of impostor syndrome, so they would have brutal.
Harper would have told Uiara about SB. She would have told said very little to VS except to reveal how envious she was of her (not of her relationship with Yazmin aside from their closeness).

...Earlier this week or last, someone asked what the biggest flaw was with the original lineup of Justice Unlimited (in response to "Novalight was New Dawn's biggest problem"), and at this point I have to think that it was/is that all of them had difficulty opening up.
Yazmin didn't tell people about Yara (or at least she didn't tell LL). Nora didn't seem to tell anyone about the Four Voices she heard in the Stage, she just kept overworking herself, presumably due to self-esteem issues. Rakeem never got to propose to LL. Towarri might have only told Nora about the cult that kidnapped her, and then there's whatever the hell is going on with the Creature's Den which she told everyone not to worry about because she had it handled. Harper never told anyone about Socialite Butterfly. Hell, Moon River is still alive and yet she refuses to explain why she's missing. It seems likely that it's a "if I tell you you will be a target too" sort of thing, but geez - that's what superhero friends are for.
I guess this could be a stretch, though. Rakeem never proposing isn't particularly damning, Towarri might not have thought she had a reason to worry about her childhood cult, and some of the others probably told each other some of their secrets - I wouldn't have been surprised if Yazmin had already told Nora about her Yara, for instance.
Regardless... it definitely seems like they couldn't unveil their innermost hearts to one another while they were still alive. Perhaps if they had, it'd have been easier to help each other with these problems.

Having just watched this, I can't help but think about how Mona's core seems to be made out of an unknown, hyperdense material...

. . . it's like the author accidentally stumbled into a theme or something! What does it say about him that he did that in accident?
. . . I watched a lot of Kurtzgsagt in making
Mona, yeah.
It's a new video! And it implies that they're either reflecting a part of their life they may want to re-examine, or they're getting lazy coming up with characters.

Sometimes, it really is the characters that are telling things to the author rather than the other way around.

Tell me about it. Mona was supposed to be charming when she first met Ellie, but then the fumbling kinda wrote itself.

I remember being surprised by how much Lady Leizi doesn't know about her own team when the update on checking JU will popped up, considering 1) she's the spymaster and 2) they've been around each other for more than 10 years iirc. I was especially surprised she apparently didn't know anything about how much shares Yazmin had or about Yara. Nora at least had the excuse of having the equivalent of Alzheimer's and Harper being paranoid af.
So yeah, I do think @Parabola is right on the money on the lack of communication between the members, at least when it comes to their inner troubles

Ehh, toxic's a little much maybe? They were more both over dramatic. Their relationship was actually good for both of them, if there was one issue (Nora using her power) they struggled to get past.

my favorite: Powers, except they aren't starting from scratch but building on Nora's results. Aka a fresh Algernon getting full access to an Algernon's research that literally went as far as possible before they rebounded.

But he only got bits and pieces of it or he'd know about Prometheus.
Not the full package.

That's because he apparently got bad data, likely from the Philosophers or their minion/s. The degree to which an Algernon is reliant on actually being able to get and trust data acquired by other people who ran experiments of their own is apparently less than 'mundane' scientists, but they still need it in the first place. Otherwise Stockpile wouldn't think that we were trying to steal power from the Leviathan, he'd know that about the Stage.

This feels like a no duh thing, but the candidate's personality does have some input on how you decide/write the powers, right?
