Hahaha, New Wave is in for a bumpy ride.
Good seeing competent Piggot on the ball. And the Principal doing the smart thing.

You know it occurs to me that this could be a viable method of safely disposing of and/or storing Taylor's Anti-Matter.
Weird thing for a Shard to want; I would assume that they would either primarily be aggregators like Nilbog's Shard or Sting or most Brutes and Blasters or be primarily Master or Stranger Shards.
Funnily enough not only would Taylor probably be very understanding about wanting to keep a outed Parahuman away from people, as long as they also did their fucking job and responded to the actions of a student during school hours, but she kind of has Librarian making her something like a Thinker when it comes to things like paperwork or organizational procedure.
Hope springs eternal.
Oh my fucking god this clueless idiot. Would she really? Of her own free will? Was she being blackmailed or something?
I was sure that they had some other thievery as a group and crimes as individuals going on that made them villains.
Yeah she kind of has a Thinker ability. Several even if she's taking notes.
I have to imagine that Lisa had a hand in this~
It is Taylor Hebert brand ballsy.
Isn't it just? I'm pretty sure that the last two chapters worth of commentary was wondering whether Taylor somehow got a luck-based Perk somewhere.
I mean I'd say that it's more of a matter of money being leverage; currency is a matter of faith and The Thinker Entity's spine was called "High Priest" so you know that Entities know how to leverage something like faith.
I'm pretty sure that it was more of a bribe then anything; you just know that Taylor was having to put effort into that inaction there.
It's a shame that she doesn't have any Underworld negotiations with how respectable she's being.
Yeah shit like that is why Threat Ratings in specific categories come with specific response protocol.
I don't recall any nighttime (or even twilight) endbringer attacks, but remember that endbringers are ALWAYS sandbagging. HARD. Attacking in broad daylight would just be another handicap to make things "fair".

What I find interesting is that from here on out, we have a Piggot that knows she's being actively sabotaged by her own superiors, even when it comes at SIGNIFICANT cost to the US in general, and the PRT in particular.
This is honestly potentially BIG. VERY big. It's even something that the rest of the PRT ENE - and PRT in general - might pick up on. WDGD itself, between others. PRT ENE officers. The PR department. It's rather obvious, after all. We will see how it plays out down the line.

I've mentioned this in a few places before, but it bears repeating.
Brockton Bay doesn't just have a lot of Parahumans, they have a lot of freakishly powerful ones. They've got teams full of people who would be in other locations the trump card of a team.
Purity is a Blaster 8, who gets favorable comparisons to Legend.
Clockblocker is treated as a joke character, but he's a striker with a Win Condition not a power expression. He touches you, its over.
Speaking of strikers with Win Conditions instead of powers, look its a Panacea!
Tattletale is a high rated thinker who gets useful results! Not 'code plaid' and other such bullshit like we see from other thinkers.
Vista is criminally underestimated, space warping allowing her to do such bullshit as turn the sun into a laser, make a rail gun out of thin air, reduce the distance between a target and an overhead power line to zero, or just let Clockblocker touch somebody 50 feet away and around the corner.
Assault is another goofball, but his ability to adsorb kinetic energy makes me bullet proof and a counter to most brutes.
Skitter doesn't just have a freakish range on her insect control, Miss 'limited omniscient' can also keep track of all that shit at once, making her a recon god and a security nightmare.
Hookwolf is a brute, and a regenerator.
Lung is pretty much the only person with the rep to match his power scale.
Even Aisha, again generally treated as just a source of mischief has a Stranger power that's through the roof.
And they're all like this. The city is packed full of capes that make other departments look like they aren't trying.
