The Cheating Cheater Who Cheats [Worm Quest]

Reader mode
Incidentally I'm less than convinced that putting the spying in other people's heads is wrong. I mean yeah I wouldn't want it if I could avoid it at all, and yeah Scion's intentions are definitely not benevolent (even if he also doesn't actually care about what is recorded), but depending on what you're up against being able to keep track of people or know what happened to them could be very useful.

Mostly trying to stir up discussion, but I also don't feel very dead set This-Is-An-Immoral-Action. The intent of it matters, so I'm not in favor of instant condemnation even if I know how this ends.
 
[X] The kiss she gave you was certainly nice, but you aren't ready to jump into anything serious at the moment. You'd be willing to date her casually as long as it stays light. Maybe more in the future?
[X] Motherbox can manipulate gravity, and you're super fast. Three words: Freerunning on crack!
[X] You're kind of ambivalent about the whole 'spying' thing, but finding out more about whoever put the data link tumor in Jerry's brain is probably a good idea. You'll most likely delegate most of the work to Motherbox, but this is definitely important enough to pursue.

Let's fix he issues we have and then try to manage a relationship.

The least likely one to get us noticed as a parahuman, since people do actually freerun to get around.

Spying by itself isn't that big of a deal. This may be a bit before he age where everything is online all the time, but I don't see anything inherently good or bad about it. There may be times that we need to spy on people in the future, and we're already working on ways to monitor for parahumans. We also know OOC that this is he Corona Pollentia and that "spying" is one of the least objectionable parts of the arrangement by Zion. I would be more onboard with outrage if it was something like finding out that parahumans are having their minds manipulated towards conflict.

[X] You honestly don't know how you feel about Motherbox, and truthfully, it's probably going to be a long time before you come up with any kind of meaningful answer. You recognize that you're screwed up badly enough that you barely have a clue how to feel about yourself, let alone about anyone else. Honestly, your mind is such a fucking mess that sometimes it feels like all of your decisions are made by a whole bunch of different people arguing over every possible choice, rather than by you.

Edit: Read further, looks like these were the options chosen. My bad

Voting is now closed for Chapter 2.2A. I'm beginning work on Chapter 2.2B, which will include the unfinished business that wasn't covered in Chapter 2.2A, as well as some of the ramifications of the latest sets of votes. Thanks you for voting!


Here are the winning choices from last time:


How do you Feel about Motherbox?

[X] The kiss she gave you was certainly nice, but you aren't ready to jump into anything serious at the moment. You'd be willing to date her casually as long as it stays light. Maybe more in the future?


Method of Short-Range Transit?

What will you do about the spying tumor thingy that you found in that one guy?

14 Votes
[X] Installing spying organs in people's brains is wrong. You going to confer with Motherbox, come up with a plan of action, and then go about solving this mystery in the way that makes the most sense. If someone is doing this maliciously then you'll bring them to justice.
 
So kevin doesn't know about how ordinary capes have a corona Pollentia? I think that's what it is called.

EDIT: Fixed, Thanks Aabcehmu.

Okay, so I just discovered this quest and it's fantastic. Watched so hard.

I will admit that a part of me is sad that Taylor isn't our character, mainly because she really needs a Motherbox :(. I wonder if anyone has written that fic...
