Really? I thought the Mayor's job is "make sure shit don't spontaneously combust on their own." Granted, most do that by setting everything on fire first, but that's...

In any other city, sure. But the Mayor of Brockton Bay can only ever be incompetent at best.
 
Taylor: From this moment onward, I declare myself Supreme Overlord of Brockton Bay, now renamed MayorLand

Armmaster: You can't do that. I won't let you.

Taylor: My first decree as Overlord is to construct a new DragonLair .Inc HQ, under Dragon's supervision and dedicated to tinkertech research.

Armmaster: What is thy bidding, mistress?
 
Oh gods, this is hilarious. I love it. Crack!fics are okay, but nothing beats good ol' fashioned comedy.
 
If she ever tells them about the Disaster button, I bet they'll ship her to Nilbog's city and hit several disasters before retreating.

Not really. They were keeping Nilbog around because they can't kill him off wihout worrying about his creations running rampant and causes trouble or something, either that or Contessa said "Path to Victory"and everyone just nodded along.

To get rid of him, you need someway to make sure nothing in the general vicinity even remotely alive, probably a massive radiation bombardment. I don't think that option is feasible.

Just abduct him with alien?

Nilbog got some kind of deadman switch on the creatures, so once he's gone, they'll start going out of control. Imagine rabbit in Australia, but instead of rabbits, it's hideous abominations, and instead of Australia, it's Earth.

Basically, he's not worth it. Sure, they can get rid of him and his pet easily enough, but that's too much effort for too little gain

So, just keep him from being dead?

Yeah, probably some kind of brain-hijacking parasite or master power could do it. IMO, the easiest way is to assemble a team to escort Panacea to Nilbog, where she can rewire him into an upstanding, law abbiding citizen

1.6 Offers in the Dark
  • Threadmarks
    • Mayor was talking to a few people about renovating homes and building for a fee when Armsmaster and Miss Militia approached her. As the people parted for them, she jumped at the sight, but after a moment, offered a business card to Miss Militia. It was professionally made, with glossy ink indented on the matte card. She admired it for a moment before putting it in her shirt pocket.

    "Hi, it's nice to meet you Mayor." She said, offering a hand shake to her which the Mayor took.

    "Nice to meet you Miss Militia." She responded, giving a smile. It was a nice touch that her mask didn't cover her mouth.

    "Are you announcing your intention to run against Mayor Christner?" Armsmaster asked. The Mayor shrugged.

    "Like I told those reporters, I don't have any intention as of now to run against him. I'm more interested in helping the city than running a campaign. It's just a name." She explained. Armsmaster nodded.

    "Have you thought of joining the Protectorate? We could use someone like you." He asked. The Mayor frowned.

    "I'm, I'm not that old. Younger than seventeen." She said.

    "Hm. Must be the suit that makes you look older." He said. "Well the Wards program are for people like you. You're a powerful shaker. The gangs will want to recruit you."

    "I'm not interested in the Wards program. And the gangs can try." The Mayor laughed to herself, in good humor.

    "The gangs aren't a game." Armsmaster grunted.

    "Well, we'd appreciate it if you came in as an independent hero. We have free power testing." Miss Militia tried. The Mayor tilted her head in thought.

    " ... What can the Protectorate really offer me? I am my own protection, and I know my powers really well. It's all benefit to you and none to me. No, Miss Militia, I'm afraid I'll have to pass on that." She tipped her hat and walked away to a car. She got in, and a car full of E88 tried to follow very obviously before their car disappeared.

    "Damnit." Armsmaster said.

    Piggot wasn't going to be happy.

    It was frustrating how the timelines he caught her ended in disaster, Coil thought. Sometimes literal disaster. No matter. He was learning more and more about her powers. He knew some of the people who asked her for renovations. Maybe he could ...

    And Coil continued to weave a web, unknowing of the trembles coming down the strands.

    FOOLS! YOU KNOW NOT WHAT YOU MEDDLE IN!
     
    Then the Medhall building was replaced with a water treatment plant and Coils base became a garbage dump.

    Unless those tails were reallly obvious, shouldn't they consider that she knows what everyone around her (or in the city is doing).

    *Sigh* They're so overconfident in themselves that they wouldn't notice a bomb being shoved up their asses, and with the way Taylor has made 'The Mayor' look they're going to severely underestimate her. In fewer words...they're screwed.

    Taylor basically have Thinker 8+ from a combination of Sim and SimCity. There's literally nothing going on in the city that can hide from her view if she know where to look. Combined that with the ability to click on someone to instantly know their traits and mood. Spying on her is pointless, she can click on the agents and immediately notice traits like Evil or Racist. As long as you're in Brockton Bay, you can't hide from the Mayor.

    Taylor's like Big Brother, if Big Brother was a nice, adorkable girl trying to help everyone.
     
    To be fair to the people chasing after her -- they don't know the full scope of her abilities.

    All she's shown is the ability to avoid tracking, to create buildings out of thin air, and to clean up the landscape. There's no real sense of force in her abilities form their point of view; she just seems like a support cape, that's all.

    If they knew that she was omniscient, could replace entire buildings with a thought, could common natural disasters, and create enter armies of easy to each and very loyal (possibly even superpowered) soldiers at the drop of a hat, they would probably take her very seriously and not fuck with her. But they don't, so they won't.
     
    you know, the thing about 'creating armies'... yeah, but they're armies of SIMS. They're at their most dangerous when told to make sandwiches for their foes. Every sim is a suicide bomber waiting to happen. Usually by accident.
