Ship of Fools: A Taylor Varga Omake (Complete)

I've got it on good authority (Panacea) that ANYONE can not only get used to a tail, and will eventually agree with Saurial that they can't imagine how anyone gets along WITHOUT one! :D

Look, you know Xander is the one person who'll fail. He'll trip over his tail, get it caught in doors, chewed on by dogs even though Assassins Cloak supposedly makes it invisible. The lot.

On the other hand, a couple of eyes, near the tip of the tail, would give him spares... They could be hidden behind swing-out thagomizers... :)

On the gripping hand, lizard ladies would fall for him. :)

Actually, I think that the biggest problem with Xander having a tail is that it might spontaneously turn into a monkey.

He does keep complaining he's the universes Butt Monkey, it's likely that something odd will happen to anything attached to his ass.

Look. This is Xander. His tail would turn into the Monkey King. :)

Whether this would be better than having a monkey on your back...

Of course, this Monkey King would also have the full powers of a (standard) Varga...

Worth noting is that the human brain actually has the structures needed to control a tail peripheral. Probably an evolutionary leftover from when our ancestors had tails. These structures still see use occasionally when an atavistic human is born with a tail.
 
Fangirl Dragon
**Fangirl Dragon**

Dragon followed Ianthe into the spaceship, her optic sensors busily cataloguing everything. Ianthe went though a doorway and Dragon stepped into the doorway, seeing the Family and friends standing around with several humans she didn't know and Taylor Hebert.

As she began looking at the strangers, her eyes fell on a tall woman with dark hair and her facial recognition software tossed up a 99.98 percent match to a face in her memory banks. That was Ellen Ripley.

(Insert computer babble; Ripley is a character in an Earth Aleph movie, Ripley is standing here, not fiction. BSoD; Family involvement: The Family is bullshit, this has something to do with them, place in Family box, ignore impossible.)

Saurial blinked as a high pitched Squee sound, far too high for any human to hear came from Dragon. Bemused, she watched as Dragon crossed to Ripley. "I was so impressed by the way you took control, and that power loader, completely awesome work there."

Ripley was watching the robot looking person wondering if all androids were just completely nuts and became aware the robot thing had asked a question she had missed. "Excuse me?"

The robot had a pen and a small notebook in her hand. "Can I have your autograph?"


*****
I have no excuse for this, except that Dragon, having unlimited interwebz, subroutines and a personality has to watch something on the web... And I can definitely see her loving all space movies. On being a horror fan.

Buffy movie vs. Buffy TV show: They're different people.... (I remember an older story where Buffy and Joyce are Highlander-type Immortals who've moved to Sunnydale so that the real Buffy can live)

Admittedly, calling a Green Lantern ring a "gadget" is like calling the Internet a database, but Hal and Guy and John, et. al., don't have much to call on if they haven't got it.

Jack T. Chance had the right idea. You have BACKUPS for your power ring, even if it's just a revolver.

Better would be power armor like this:

(Annoyed he isn't wearing the visor in this picture)

It's a cool time to be alive. Unless we fuck it all up and elect even more morons to high office and the world ends in nuclear fire.
I don't think that's what will happen. Astroturf Oh,crap-Cortex will get her "green plan" and the USA will crash into chaos and civil war.

Now, to read page 8....

I'll go over that, but Xander's eye is in some ways the least of his health problems. If you go back to the show, he's been exposed to quite a lot.
Most of which is more Harry Dresden's field, rather than Ianthe's.

He needs a THOROUGH cleansing.

Why do I see a couple of new bodies being made for Ripley and Xander with all the good upgrades for both of them...

Xander would get a lot of use out of those upgrades, just by running the training of the SIT's and bursting a few egos while doing it.
Just think of all those young girls given super powers and then finding out that a 'NORMAL' person can out do them...
 
Back to Ripley having a xenomorph in her and the DNA acquiring abilities of said I am more interested in Amy trying to use that with Taylor (V) to become a half demon as well and truly make the Family real in a biological sense.
 
In many ways, Willow and Buffy are not at all good for the guy. He'd have had a much saner life without either of them, of course, but even leaving that out of it, I don't think they ever appreciated quite what they had in him. There is room to argue that without him, things would have ended quickly and messily, and even now I personally think he was one of the most important people in that entire show. He was far more than the comic relief.
I'm pretty sure that without Willow and Buffy, he would have had a much shorter life. His reason for hunting vampires in the first place was because of Jessie's death, and it's likely he would have done something stupid on his own without the Scooby Gang. Not to mention that if he hadn't joined, Buffy would have stayed dead and the Master would rule over Sunnydale. Not a good or safe time to be living there.
 
If he truly had a luck power, he wouldn't have ended up in so many crazy situations in the first place...

On the other hand, there's no reason to assume it's a good luck curse, right? That would explain a lot. Although not how he actually survived any of it :)
Xander's survival is easy to explain:

He's not lucky enough to die; to die means his suffering is at an end. Thus, his bad luck ensures he keeps on living.
 
I don't think that's what will happen. Astroturf Oh,crap-Cortex will get her "green plan" and the USA will crash into chaos and civil war.
This green new deal thing... I'm getting the idea that she presented it for two reasons.
  • First it's the direction that she feels your country should be headed and on this I agree; moving to renewable energy, reducing climate impact and healthcare/education for all is a good thing.
  • The second reason is two have a place to start bargaining from, the more insane your starting position the easier it is for you to shift the middle. It's the same tactic that the Tea Party (American taliban) has been employing.
I don't believe for a second that AOC thinks she will get the green new deal passed, but it will start the conversation and focus peoples attention in the right direction.

Let us not go there, current politics is not something we should get into outside N&P
 
Shaper and Amy built Ianthe and Metis. If they can manipulate Xenomorph DNA, they can quite easily clip out the majority of its genetic (reproductive, morphic) and replace it with sanitized blank, leaving only a shell with the same physical attributes.

If they CAN'T manipulate the DNA of something that's not even on Crawler's level, (It gets the same 'ERROR: Dafuq?' as Varga) then they can still purge Ripley's body of Alien matter with relative ease.

Except she's Alexandria hyphen-surname. Right age bracket, politician... Deeefinitely a Cauldron plant. :p


...Anyone else make that joke yet?

"I want to call in my sister to look at Miles, Harry, Ellen and Xander," she told them. "I've healed the minor injuries that Daniel, Jimmy and Peter had from your adventures."

We know what Ellen's issue is and Xander's just got a plethora of lingering problems. I would've expected PETER to have some dimensional destabilization/glitching, but that's apparently been cleared up.

Harry of course is ALSO pregnant... Oh god, put Bonnie/Bonea in the xenomorph embryo. ("Do you really think that's a good idea, Ianthe?" "Spoilsport.")

That just leaves Miles, so I wonder if he's really a Founder sleeper agent.

Also, Uber figuring out magic in thirty minutes? Awesome... until he accidentally soulgazes Saurial. <Scanners headasplode GIF>
