[X]Leave it as it is. Terror is a legitimate weapon for demoralizing your enemies. Being known as a possible future terror drone can only inspire more of that in your enemies and confidence in your allies.

[X]Head out to chat with the local shards and their hosts.
-[X]You just became the first shard to kill Terror-Drone #7. Time to go rub this fact in QueenObjective's face.

[X]Hand back control over to Host. She responded really well to the dreaming and you think it's possible to do so now.
-[X]"...What."
--[X]Decrease your range down to 5 feet first. That far won't break her mind outright, just take some time for her to get used to.

[X] Keep Host asleep. This is a novel experience and will provide great data for later cycles.
 
[x]Delete it and purge all records. Even if you don't know who Jack Slash is, if Terror Drone #7 wanted to say something about him as her last words, odds are it isn't anything good.

[X]Keep Host asleep, for the time being, but take steps to prepare for her re-emergence: memory sharing, and refinement of her dreamstate such that it becomes a successively more accurate model of your capabilities. Scale based on the presence of indicators of stress; in the presence of such indicators, cease refinement until indicators return to regular behaviour. If they do not withing three hours, decrease simulation fidelity progressively until they do, wait three hours, then begin increasing again.

So... In PHO it was revealed that:
1) Simurgh is a "terror drone #7" - outright stating that there are at least 7 endbringers

2) That Simurgh is fully capable of human speech

3) That there is someone behind endbringers, and Titania knows who that is

4) That the world is going to end in 2 to 15 years

5) That Titania could become a new endbringer (that last one is a lie, but it would be hard to disprove; which is why I want to post a detailed physiological explanation of why it is a lie).

In Brockton Bay, there's now a giant indestructible "tree" with a swarm of drones maintaining it, and a weapon capable of killing Endbringers.

I doubt there are nukes already launched, but I don't doubt that the fingers are on the buttons.
 
It was implied earlier that if Taylor does wake up, she'll go back to sleep again right?

Assuming a wakeup with no problems, one of five conditions must occur for this to happen:

1: Clockblocker time-locks her and the players vote to reassume control.

2: She actually physically goes to sleep and the players vote to reassume control. Given as she doesn't need to sleep anymore, she might choose not to.

3: Her brain re-breaks.

4: She otherwise wishes to flee from the world.

5: She becomes convinced that the world is a dream and starts performing actions which would harm her. Just thinking its a dream isn't enough.

Behemoth is the reason why they don't use nukes at things anymore. Far more likely to sound the Endbringer alarm or flat abandon Brockton Bay. All things considered, as long as she isn't killing people, they'll probably just roll with it. Earth-Bet is so used to massive property damage that a mere godtree will become a tourist attraction.

Also, English (or any human language) lacks the necessary words to explain how it isn't possible.

Deleting it would probably bite us in the ass when Dragon's backup of PHO would contain the unedited copy.

Snippet from the PHO interlude to be released probably tomorrow (on a phone now):

A lot of people have been joking about the PRT putting a "Bullshit 13" or "Just run" note in her file and leaving it at that. Yes, the scale only goes up to 10 and then 12. Honestly, I think it might be safe to avoid calling this a joke; why would they, or anyone, ever want to fight her? She can kill the Endbringers. Who in their right mind would want to hurt her after that? Okay, so she's kinda completely batshit insane and more than a little creepy. I'm willing to overlook a lot in someone who can manage that.

Your candor regarding votes is refreshing.

Clockblocker welcoming the adorable fairy overlord may be prophetic.

I mean I would not be surprised if people come to her tree, asking if she accepts immigrants into her new sovereign nation. Because who's gonna dispute it?


Also, Endslayer, her tree is probably the safest place in the world right now. Lots of people would probably like to live there.

Congratulations Cauldron! You got your cape feudalism project in Brockton Bay!

I'm half expecting that we'll turn into a wish-granting fairy godmother at some point, once people acclimate to the fact that we're generally more or less benevolent and happy to help newborns and the like.
[] Explain how it is physiologically impossible for you to become a terror drone. Why, the very thought is ridiculous!
I would add this to my vote if I actually thought it was true. But I'm pretty sure we more or less could.

Also, if Efficiency was inspired for the Endbringer prediction system, it may be more than a little pissed at us for ruining its good work. In which case...prooooobably not too willing to help with our supercomputer.

Let's hope this isn't the case, but if it was, it was sufficiently foreshadowed.

More like a monkey's paw, given how well we understand humanity....

Yep, we're just appearing human for host. Our clothes are already Endbringer-tier durable.
 
I considered this while naming Leet's shard, but elected to call it that anyway.
......
Thanks for the explaination.
And since you're around... I know you said that Architect and Perfectionist are not the bullies and all, but I almost think both the words Architect and Perfectionist seem to match Accord. Is he around? Did his shards get dumped in someone else and not yet triggered?

Am I doing too much conspiracy theories?

And cos it has not yet been done (I think)

:Father: - Scion/Zion
:Mother: - Eden
Adept - Uber
Architect - Unknown, untriggered
Broadcast - Jack Slash
Charge - Battery
Efficiency - Armsmaster
Escalation - Lung
Harvest - Glastine Ulaine
Instant - [GUESS] Clockblocker
Perfectionist - Unknown, untriggered
Phantasm - Sophia/Shadow Stalker
Radiance - Glory Girl
Replicator - Dragon
Queen Administrator - Taylor
Queen Objective - Leet
Queen Shaper - Panacea
Transfer - Assault
<unanmed newborn without concept, tending towards energy constructs> - Laserdream

I still don't think we could explain it in any way that is comprehensible to humans. We could try explaining the math behind it, but I suspect that we'd run into the problem of the math not existing, yet. If we somehow overcame that issue, I suspect we'd run into the problem of a post text limit. If we overcome that, it would still take experts time to prove that our math is true...

I don't think Efficiency really cares, in light of the glorious spacewhale bullshit inspiration the tree and drones would provide.

-[X]Go chat with the newborns. It's important to ensure that they have proper guidance.

[X] Begin synchronizing Host's dream with events while she was inactive, including inter shard dialogue in preparation for control transfer.
 
Also, something may be fun to post.



"No, I have no plans to hunt Terror Drones 4 and 16. They have been destroyed before, and would be significantly less satisfying.

Also: just because you do not remember it, does not mean it is not true."

Two beings, twisting through space....
 
I though that was supposed to be The Butcher?

{Citation requested}

I know Glastig calls her own role the "Keeper of the Dead" or something along those lines, but I'm choosing to interpret that as coming from her shard's ego in this universe. :p

I haven't decided on a name for the Butcher yet. Cacophony, perhaps? Hmm...

change my vote, the idea of QA taunting Leet is being viral on the internet is too good to past.
