I could be wrong but I think Sera is suprised that leet is within range because she only has a couple miles of power sponge radius. Cities can be a lot bigger than 15 miles across so her range would be comparitively small. She was commenting on how likely he was to be based or ortherwise remain near Taylor's house long enough for her to get his power, not on how she didnt expect archive to be in brockton bay.

If her range is a 15 mile radius that's something like what 700 square miles which is pretty damn big. Brockton Bay is supposed to have like maybe 350K inhabitants, Metro Boston's got over 3 million at about double the land mass so a 15 mile radius I feel like could definitely cover if not all then a massive part of BB

Sorry if it was unclear but i didn't mean that she had a 15 mile radius. I was just trying to give some frame of reference to the size of a city. From the description I would think of a 2 or 3 mile radius to be on the large side. Something like a 2 or 3 mile diameter is what I thought of when I read it the first time.

Ah that makes more sense, sorry I guess I just sorta smushed the number 15 with the word range since they were close. I gotta pay more attention when reading :(.
 
Just discovered the Best Zizter. Very fun!

Taylor still doesn't quite have the context of cycles to be asking the important questions, but I'm a little bit surprised that she hasn't wondered whether becoming a sisbringer means she's now part of the whole Endbringer family. I expect she will be required to participate in the family business (in other forms!?) in the future.

Sera already told her that she's done this before, and that dying isn't allowed. It doesn't have to be soon, but I hope that Taylor lets herself think about the implications at some point in the story.

I don't think she has to partake in the "family bussiness". The Endbringers do what they do cause they are mastered by someone else. Taylor is not being mastered, and Ziz is being kinda-mastered by Taylor, so there's no reason why they should.

Sera: OH we should do this to everyone else! Then everyone can be free!
Taylor: uuuuh... wait
Sera: And it means you can have more family!
Queenie: : D ...^___^ ....༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ __<3~
 
They've all got a weird set of standards revolving around conflict and so Contessa is just very confused how stabbing eden as a child gets her retroactively adopted by her once she heals up.

... I don't know much worm so could you explain?

The Endbringers only do what they do because Eidolon has their 'master control' shard and is subconsciously controlling them to give him something to fight. This is no longer the case for Zizter, as Queen Administrator went to High Priest and said 'gimme Simurgh' and because QA has admin privileges HP could only go 'okay' and give QA Simurgh, thus freeing her from Eidolon's control.

So Zizter is no longer forced to do Endbringer things, and EndTaylor is thus also free from Eidolon's control.

Behemoth and Leviathan are probably super jelly about Zizter getting free though, and the loss of Simurgh could cause HP to decide to activate another Endbringer (which may or may not be Khonsu) to replace her, depending on how exactly HP decides which Endbringers to activate and when.

So Sera and Taylor fighting an endbringer when?

Back when Contessa (at that time, Fortuna) was but a pre-/early-teen, she got {Path to Victory}, which told her how and where to stab Eden in order to kill it. Except Eden managed to recover enough from its crash-landing to patch out PtV being able to accurately model Entities, and so Fortuna only managed to leave Eden comatose, and was unable to accurately analyze Scion in order to work out how to kill it. Hence Cauldron, hence basically about half of all the issues in Worm - all basically Fortuna and a few other associates throwing things at the wall to see what stuff looks like it might stick.

As for the adopting bit, Entities are known to have a fairly big focus on conflict - they seed their powers amongst the population so as to produce as much long-term conflict as possible, by sending powers to people who are predicted to use them in ways that will cause them to engage other shard-users, by giving out powers that themselves are designed to reward conflict and to varying degrees punish inactivity, and by directing 'Conflict Engines' (what humans refer to as 'Endbringers') in various manners so as to stoke conflicts. Granted, we have never seen a 'normal' cycle, so some of this is a matter of speculation from the Scion interludes. Anyhow, it's possible that an entity/human hybrid might have some... odd ideas regarding conflict and family.

Sera: "When a mommy and a daddy love each other very much, they cause conflict across a huge number of planets and then they all explode. Humans already had a thing called a nuclear family which is probably like the same thing, just up the warhead yeild a bit."
 
Now I'm picturing Humanish Eden adopting Contessa under the logic that if she was going to have a daughter she should be bold enough to stab an endbringer.

Contessa: So you adopted me BECAUSE I stabbed you.
Eden: yep!
 
hello everyone! i resurrecting this fic!
