Poor Skynet. It died as it lived. Violently.

Agreed to the first part.Bud with the way your world-building is shaping up I will be sorely disappointed if this doesnt run for 200k words.
Speaking of, I need to catch up on Ring-maker.
Yeah, and it's very
Oh, cousin. Yeah, he did said he got a cousin around Tay's age. At first, I thought he was Lisa's big bro that managed to pull the faking death trick successfully.
Forgive me for what I'm thinking about you right now. This is an excellent story, but given my personal history, this line hit like a punch to the gut."Goodbye, Annette." Danny whispered as he pushed the 'Erase All' button.
*Silently offers a @YuffieK shaped punching bag*Forgive me for what I'm thinking about you right now. This is an excellent story, but given my personal history, this line hit like a punch to the gut.
With a knife.
Thank you for writing it, and nothing personal, but I'm going to go hate on you for a few minutes.
Then I'll keep reading.

Poor U&L."Somehow, by either dumb luck or us pissing off the wrong random omnipotent being, Void_Cowboy managed to stumble upon our filming location and caught the whole thing on his cellphone. Pretty sure he posted his footage within minutes, got booted for it, and the original thread removed before we even got back to our pad. Far too late for us to stop it though."
This makes absolutely no sense. Leet getting an early warning about the Endbringers thanks to his connection to Eidolon's shard? Sure that works. Leet NOT telling people? Eh...well if you want U&L to be sociopathic bastards and/or complete morons I suppose that works.He and Uber have also come to the conclusion that Scion is NOT a hero by any means and is actually the one controlling the Endbringers, as evidenced by the regular timing of their attacks, Scion taking his damn sweet time showing up to an attack and his "Being a full-on dissociative whackjob the rest of the time."

U&L figuring out someone is controlling the Endbringers? Sure. Them believing Scion is controlling the Endbringers? Maybe, if Leet built the right sort of sensory device they could get the wrong bits of information and jump to that conclusion...but jumping to that conclusion because Scion treats Endbringers the way he treats everything else? That makes no sense.

One thing that bothers me a bit is Leet repeatedly destroying his own equipment. I like that you try to explain why people think his creations break apart, and making it part of an anti-theft system is very neat. But I'd expect any tinker and especially someone who cannot recreate his tech like Leet, to have anti-theft measures that don't literally blow up their own equipment.
Possibilities range from teleport-swapping the tinkertech with fakes to only small parts of the costumes being actual tinkertech and them just taking the actual tech with them, from using mundane high-tech and only pretending it is tinkertech to using some exotic device that I cannot even hope to imagine.
"Oh please. Like you could even get it working again."
If you define "telling people" as announcing it publicly, and not taking precautions to keep your identity hidden this would be true. However informing the PRT of this privately with the request their identity be kept quiet would allow them to not only keep doing what they like most of the time, but let them bank favors with the PRT that would help them fix stuff like the PR disaster that led to them being known as beating a prostitute to death. And then there's all the lives they'd save. Which is why unless U&L are extremely sociopathic morons their described course of action does not make sense.Telling people you can predict Endbringer attacks is not exactly conducive to remaining 'non-conformist rogues'. Everyone would jump to grab them.
From the story he seems to get a much better timeframe than what anyone else can come up with, and also the identity of the attacking Endbringer. That would be very valuable even if that's all he got.Leet does not get a telepathic message saying "The Simurgh will attack Canberra on Tuesday" he gets the vague impression that an Endbringer is coming soon.
Everyone with a calender can guess wrong by several weeks. Leet can narrow that down considerably with is incredibly valuable even if he can't reliably predict which Endbringer is attacking. Narrowing it down to a couple of days would be enough that they'd have teams on standby ready for the word of where the Endbringer is attacking.Anyone with a calendar can guess that, Leet just has verification on the guess.
Only if you ignore all the natural phenomena that occur on a schedule, but granting this for the sake of argument, the guiding intelligence could be their own, or from a near infinite number of potential hidden groups. Remember until Tt. got a look at Leviathan they didn't know the Endbringers weren't extreme monster capes that went nuts.Also natural disasters do not target cities on a schedule. Endbringers do, therefore they must have some sort of intelligence guiding them.
