The Adventures Of Doctor Curlyhair, Girl Genius!

Actually, I think ruining Coil's physical self was more along the lines of what Danny/Annette were going for. They made their arguments quite forcefully, and not without a heaping measure of malice and retribution.

I meant Transformation Jutsu. I can see them being petty like that. That, and it adds to her legend. "Don't mess with Doctor CurlyHair, Coil did and the next day he did a bunch of stuff that ruined his reputation and was never seen again. Do not mess with her, otherwise you will be known as the guy who publicly made threats against politicians, ordered pineapple on pizza, and kicked a puppy before never being seen again."

Sure, they have overwhelming firepower, but there will always be that one person who thinks "I can take them.", so you instead use ruining their reputation as a deterrent. Sure, you may die, but dying and then having your reputation ruined? That would give most people second thoughts.
 
Might I suggest The Outer Worlds for a future roll? It's like a MAD SCIENTISTS fever dream and has all sorts of cool gadgets that will fit right in with this story. The SCIENCE weapons will have them playing around for months, like the rainbow shooting, vodka powered machine gun, or the shrink ray. And let's not forget the crayons in a bottle that is Rizzos soda.
Remember, it's not the best choice, it's Spacers Choice!
 
Lol, Thomas is done

2B, 9S, 2A are all on a mission," said Taylor. "Apparently that copy of the laptop had some things I wouldn't have left in there. Need to fix that problem. Jarvis?"
.........well, shit. It is strange to feel bad for the Dragonslayers, but they are so fucked it ain't even funny. 2 victoria secret supermodel shaped murderblenders and little mr. hack specialist bestest boy murderblender himself.........there is not going to be left enough of the 3 idiots to mop up with a sponge.....and that is collectively.

"No Taylor you can't build a cyclonic torpedo. Where would we even get materials for something the size of a 5 story building anyway?"

"I mean, the boat graveyard...."

"NO! No doomsday weapons till your at least 30!"

"Awwwwwww! NO FAIR!"

It was that last line that had me rolling on the floor laughing, because I could HEAR this Taylor saying that! *laugh*
 
I honestly can't wait for Doctor Taylor to get Tau database or a 40k knowledge perk and everyone freaks the fuck out. Huh the sentinels should be marvel and be partially recognizable to comic geeks because of the two to three decades of marvel and DC comics before the parahumans came about
 
I'm waiting for the moment Doctor Curly Hair gains access to a sonic screw driver, then uses it to reprogram Ziz into her personal bodyguard / babysitter / enabler / big sis... etc.
The looks on Danny's and Annette's faces when a teenage Simmy shows up in a professional James Bond suit (just ignore the multiple wings popping out the back) will be exquisite.
 
Well, apparently even geniuses can make mistakes (or your way of correcting that detail), since Taylor does not leave a false copy but a real copy of Ascalon, used by Geoff to annoy Dragon (and make her trigger), in addition to appreciate the detail (and irony) of send the androids to "chat" with the Dragon Slayers (she - Dragon - could get a body like the YrHa's?)

As for Calvert, well, he looked for it, in itself the "Space Marines" who very much appreciate Taylor (who was channeling a little bit of Washu, speaking and almost ignoring Cavill's concern and his team, being she present - and actively participating in her own "rescue" - and to annoy Coil, Emma will have so much envy), and want to have "words" with the wannabe Bond villain (more to see part of what is in that base, as in the torture cameras), but that honor, with a great help from Jarvis, was from Taylor's parents, who expressed with actions, what they think of the insults (and Coil´s plans) towards their little girl

It was quite enjoyable, thanks for this chapter; In addition to when she talked about having achieved a new Tech Base, I thought Taylor talked about yoink Coil´s base for herself, but in reality, she talked about the new perk she obtained in this chapter; that and I wonder what Washu would say to see one of her pupils/students/mini me?, trolling to her first villain

Good luck and keep it up

Ironically, this would have been even easier since in '06 Coil neither would have built his famous Bond lair yet or manipulated the stock market to get enough money to buy mercenaries. It would have just been him alone screaming about why his power doesn't work in the city Cauldron assigned him to. This story, while violating causality lets us get several funny scenes from a crack fic so I'll take it.
 
So just a couple of words before I shut down for the night to answer a couple of questions. Well, that and point out I've been updating the informational post dealing with the accumulation of perks.

For Emma's power, I'm going with the mutant Armor's power though altered a bit to fit in better with the sort of mechanics parahumans abide by even though she isn't a parahuman. It was either that or a Thinker power related to operating machines. I may change my mind as I'm writing the scene now in chapter 12.

I gave Coil his start on his Bond base because I couldn't find a date where he'd started doing it, and having him with the base recently built and his first crew of mercenaries made the results funnier than if he was operating out of a studio apartment in downtown Brockton. Having the Endbringer Shelter turned Bond base also allows him to have acquired stuff that the Marines can then Strategic Transfer of Equipment to Alternate Locations in true military fashion.

The rolls in chapter 12 were interesting and came up with two for the developments in this chapter. They're going to be interesting to work in...
 
Armor's power would make for some delightful drama, however... Perhaps ex-nay the whole 'Empowered By Dead Relatives' bit. Unless you want to constantly fuel Emma with increasingly traumatic deaths of her only blood-family on Earth Bet (Subsection: Girl Genius) in a cruel parade of sorrow that might not gel with the current fic's vibe.
 
Oddly enough, Thomas Calvert never appeared in Brockton Bay again after that.
It's almost like the military and the alphabet agencies have reason to cut through the crap and actually make sure a certain criminal stays locked up and out of the picture, come hell or high water?

I wonder, what kind of reasons could those be...
Also INVISIBLE SPACE MARINE ARMOR WITH FUCKING FORCEFIELDS!!!! That is nightmare fuel for everyone who want to invade the USA.
I mean, it's not like they would want more of stuff like this or anything... right?

Tommy Boy, you do NOT know what you have just stepped into. I so look forward to seeing it.

Edited on: I'm kinda sick and didn't notice that the Coil update was updated. Glad to see that he got it.

Also, is it just me or has "The US army & Alphabet soup agencies with Naruto-style ninja techniques" just insane potential? Sure, it can also go so insanely wrong it's not even funny, but "status quo" for Earth Bet is "everyone dies, horribly". "Medium to High risk, insane rewards" is the kind of thing you absolutely should roll the dice for there.

I… i want to learn ninja skills…

You wrote 2A. Her name is A2, as she was a prototype and prototype models have the letter ahead of the number.

I am so happy to see she gets to do the scooby doo door run.

Still hoping for supreme commander stuff. Also sailor moon, and maybe some diebuster?
 
[Thomas Calvert and the No Good Very Bad Day]
Thanks for pointing to this - I like to think it's helping me get over several weeks of ill health.

Hmm. Dragon could wake-up in a 10yr-old 33S Buma body (with the blood-healing fix applied). Why? Because she can then hang around with Taylor, work on mecha, and generally learn how to 'human' properly. Taylor could use a fellow engineer/scientist, too.

Seeing as 33S bodies are mostly biological, she could get implanted with an X-gene, too! (Karma?) I'd also expect same growth rate as a human, so, teenage Dragon, ahead.

Alright, some might say this is cruel to Colin, but, if Dragon wants to have an older body (as a secondary one), being around Taylor would almost certainly allow it. And, working on End-of-Multiverse - a bit of patience and there's good odds plenty of life/health extension in his future.
