Much like they did after the Columbine shooting, with schools cracking down on-- bullying? No, of course not. On kids wearing trenchcoats, or black lipstick.
Note that despite this, or maybe because of it, school shootings
STILL occurs with frightening frequency just in the US alone.
There may be a scheme to stop Parahuman bombs. There may be
SEVERAL plans in place. There may even be some urgency to put proper plans in place given the comparison to nuclear meltdown.
Still, the existence of Bakuda and Skitter means these schemes/plans/directives/whatever are worth less than the paper they're written on.
On another point, about Oni Lee in the latest installment: ... assuming Oni's flawed teleportation holds up (
alt-Worm instance and all), wouldn't the mass rooftop teleportation also deaden/erase all the other voices to some extent due to flawed teleportation, causing all the voices trying to take control to teleport themselves into nothingness even as it (
and circumstances) also stops them from realizing they're teleporting themselves into nothingness?
Hell, if RHJ says the last two clones stuck around NOT because they caught each other but rather because the 'will' behind the Butcher has been nibbled away to the point they didn't think to teleport... I'd believe him.
This... has interesting ramifications, if what I've said is true. The Butcher powers will do what it usually does and changes owners... but the personalities has been 'helpfully' erased beforehand. The new owner is going to win the lottery, so as to speak...
... let's hope it tries to attach to a Warforged instead, and gets a '404 not found' error, and finally shuts down...
Edit: found the WoG. Ah well, good riddance Butcher shard.
