You know, the worst case scenario is going to be Coil's shard starts to properly emulate the void and... Wally looks at Coil and smiles.

Does it matter? That sort of stuff would only be important in a fight scene not narratively.

So a Coil's success that backfired spectacularly. Could be more funny if he found Wally in a timeline he closed later and then Wally follow him to the other.
Funny for us, 'terrifyingly terrifying' for him.

The Thinker, after blowing up over three hundred different planets with countless different civilizations on all of them, failed to pick up the concept of philosophy.
It took until Abbadon, another Entity, actively giving the Thinker shards with those concepts in them, for the Thinker to learn that.
And then she immediately face-planted a planet because she was too distracted by these new concepts and the potential they offered. This entire species got into the cosmos in the first place by consuming every resource on their planet, blowing themselves up in order to take each other's resources, repeated that one hundred times, and only then did one of them have the thought of 'what if we into space?'
People can say that the Entities and Shards are great at figuring things out, but evidence tells us otherwise. They're great at recording a very specific subset of data, and completely miss the rest of it.
Which isn't surprising, since this is the same species that decides to fight entropy by giving powers to random dudes and then have them kill each other so they can figure out new ways to use those powers, and then blow up the planet in every dimension once they think they've gotten all the useful data.
The intelligence of the Entities and the Shards is very clearly applied only a wide, super-processing state. They have a lot of brainpower and a very limited idea of how to use it.

Nice to see this continued.
I liked the previous one very much. And while probably not a masterpiece, it was a very good piece of writing.4.0b was a great one.

I'd say terrifying for Earth bet too... Wally is Wally, we really don't know its endgame or purpose, giving him another out to Earth bet? yeah... Given the void?

I thought the funniest part was when he vows revenge on Tay because he can't win at minesweeper.

It really amazes me when people see how dangerous something is, hear dozens of warnings to not do anything then take the biggest stick they can find and not only poke the beast but wack it in the balls while wearing a steak costume with feeding frenzy sauce and in front of the starving beast while taunting it, then get confused when they get torn to pieces.

To be fair, it's not hard to simulate the Tenno and others associated with them.
Did you poke them? If yes, targeted excessive violence. If no, casual aggression.
Don't forget that his shard doesn't have to show him exactly what would happen, only whatever it thinks will get him to drop the timeline it doesn't want him on because it can't simulate it properly.
You need to keep in mind that Common Sense is downright extinct on Earth-Bet. I have a feeling that to Coil's power, Taylor is going to be the proverbial Butterfly flapping its wings and ultimately causing every forcast to go wrong.

Coil, IMHO is lazy. He's grown complacent due to his power always giving him a "safe" option.
He will "poke the bear" because he has gotten away with it countless times.
His MO is to do something risky in one timeline and safe in the other, for the most part.
Thanks for the feedback, it is giving my muse ideas and I very much want to show Coil slowly start to lose his "cool".
I kind of think that the non-Taylor POV's are more interesting because they show how little they understand her.

It would have been nice if you had done it earlier it would be nice to see the human point of view as Taylor and Tenno are terrifying.
there could also be a scene where Danny finds Taylor in the middle of the night staring into space and talking to herself.

That's bad fanon. Especially in this case.
Common sense changes for different people in different situations, and this specific situation involves a guy who's every experience over the last X years has been that his power let's him test things safely.
Saying he has no common sense because he's worried about someone who has proven themselves to be dangerous and unstable so he's testing solutions to a potential problem is like saying everyone who died when the World Trade Center towers got destroyed deserved it for not having the common sense to know that people were going to hijack planes and smash them into things on that exact day.
Coil getting screwed over because of elements completely outside his control isn't Coil's fault.
Coil ignoring Taylor and not using his power to figure things out would be his fault if it came back to bite him.
Common sense is incredibly fallible because common sense only helps deal with common things.

Oh, gods. The void, the place that erodes reality itself and consumes and destroys even planet-annihilating and reality twisting beings like the Sentients is getting soft-sold in the name of shardwank. I've got no problem with the shards/entities being able to see, interact and even even conceive the Void and the beings it empowers, the Orokin could do so, after all. But not immediately responding with pant shitting terror once they realize exactly what they're dealing with reeks of either wormite, or Orokin level arrogance.
Give the forum, I'm leaning towards the former.

Could Noelle clone a Warframe? She's mostly about cloning things with minor variations and Warframes are definitely biological and cloneable.
Taylor would probably be overjoyed at that concept, infinite supply of cloned warframe variants that she just needs to transference into to calm down.

Warframes are hybrids of human DNA with Helminth strain Infestation. Know what happens when one screws in infested material when not knowing exactly what they're doing? An apocalypse scenario, that's what. Seriously, the Infestation is the sort of thing that would make Amy Dallon scream in terror and frighten Bonesaw sane.
In fact, that'd be a hell of a scene. Amy gets a picture perfect view of a living creatures biology upon skin to skin contact. Lets see what happens of she shakes Taynos hand or something when she's in a Warframe.

As far as safety goes, shards are probably fairly safe because aggressively use alternate dimensions for pretty much everything which isn't something the infestation has ever encountered before.

Some of the worst infested areas in Warframe are in the Void. Keep in mind, the Infestation is actually sentient, and dimensional bullshittery is nothing new to anyone from the Origin System. Anyone fucking around with Infestation on Earth Bet would be in dire need of a sustained nuclear bombardment, for all the good it would do. Helminth or any other strain breaking free would me

And if being in the void didn't contain the infested wouldn't they be everywhere?
The worm sides alternate dimensions work incredibly differently to the void. They are not remotely the same thing and yes I am including Limbo in this who basically sits just far enough inside the void that he can't be hit while still mostly being in the world.
This is not the same thing as worm dimensional stuff.
We see zero evidence that the infested can actually cross between the void and reality and we definitely see that far less than that is required for safe manipulation given the Orokin did exactly that.

But this processing is amazing for a good chunk of what needs doing here. The first time one of Taylor's warframes does something, the local shard network can detect this and use it to make models. Which will be shit - thinkers and precogs will make false inferences and assumptions. But the more Taylor uses every ability the better the network can model things.
I'm not arguing the shards can replicate or understand the void bullshit behind the Warframes, but every time they see a new trick pulled out of Taylor's massive arsenal they will get better at modelling and predicting the outcome.
The first time Taylor hits something / someone with a void beam (an Endbringer?) I'd foresee the local shardnetwork having the oddest combo of orgasm and epileptic fit as processing shards try and figure out what/why/when/where/who/how, and other shards attempt to replicate the effects. And they may never understand why or how, but they will get a good first order approximation of the what - a beam that ignores all defences. Now, they'll probably fail to model something like Wally at all, but a precog doesn't need to know about Wally to know to try and dodge a void beam, or to not attempt to trap Taylor because she can cut her way out.
