[X] The ability to take activated shards from their hosts. You'll encounter some resistance from the local hosts, but you don't think any of them will be able to stop you.

DAMN THE TORPEDOES, FULL LOLZ AHEAD!

Which option allows us to harvest Mother's Shards? They might be "dead" but that just means that they are unable to power themselves. The fact that cauldron formulas still work shows that.

Any of the above options will allow harvesting from her corpse or from Cauldron formulas. The same does not hold true after said formulas have been ingested; they count as "active" shards after that and require one of the abilities which permit harvesting from active shard-hosts.

[] Go start trying to find out where :Mother's: body is.
-[] Take a close look at some of the damaged shards.

If you have a death wish or come up with something extremely creative (or both), yes. Keep in mind that you can't use the same defense twice against him.

[x] The ability to take shards from both potential hosts and hosts, but with permission from said host. You can always threaten them to receive said permission if they are uncooperative.

-=[x] Specifically broadcast, maybe a dose of their own medicine will get those whiny little brats to shut up and help.

OOC wise, we're aware that shards can connect to multiple hosts. Is there a reason we can't share the connection instead of depowering people?

We're not looking for a normal host-shard relationship, we're looking to bind everyone together into a new Entity. If those kinds of connections weren't exclusive then Queen Administrator would never have been detached from Scion.

To the best of my knowledge, none of the shards used by Scion were shared with any Parahumans, and vise-versa. I'm interpreting that as needing to have exclusive access in order to become an actual entity instead of just one parahuman with a ton of powers.

EDIT: Imp'd by Tor.
 
Oh my, we've definitely got to go with the S-class option. Won't that be fun? :3
@Alivaril - What are the chances of an interlude where we see what just happened from an outside perspective?
 
*watches people casually disregard the vote lock.*

Would this be a result of physicallying connecting QA to the other shards? As in the giant meat crossing dimensions to touch more giant meat?
 
Volontary sound like the most fun. Just imagine her wandering around asking various S-class to gently give their shard to her sound hilarious.
 
[X] The ability to take slumbering shards from potential hosts. It won't be quite as efficient as harvesting activated shards, but potential hosts won't be able to fight back. Nor will they have a reason to, since they likely won't even be aware of the change.

-[X] Harvest. She did offer her aid, after all.

You don't have quite that much control over her dreams. You could set up a similar scenario and see how she reacts to it, though.

I need to vanish for a bit, so unfortunately, I won't be answering any more questions for a lil' while. The thread search function may help. Have fun everyone!

Oh I like that. If only we could be the first of our species to uplift a host species to become one with our hive. Each of them could imprint much like butcher to gain the host's creativity permanently upon death and we would have allies in the fight to stop the decay of the universe.
 
So, for voluntary, what happens if we kill a shard's host? Do we need to wait for the shard to try connecting with someone else, and if so how long does that take, or could we just grab it?

-[X] maybe she would like to become assistant matriarch?
 
How about

--{} The Butcher first studying how he takes the Host's along with his shard thus gaining the Creativity permanently that is the purpose of the cycle in the first place.

-[X] Criminals. Start with the birdcage. Then find out who controls the terror drones and take their shard. Removing powers from all criminals and terror drones will lead to a lack of ways for heros to fulfill their need for conflict. When combined with the PRT no longer needing to go easy on capes because of the threat represented by Terror Drones we can expect many capes (OOC: Think Shadow Stalker types, GG types, etc.) to be deemed criminals for such thing as excessive force, and thus become acceptable targets for harvesting.
-[X] :Mother's shards. Where are the malformed versions of :Mother's shards coming from? Track them down and harvest them.
