Based on what we've seen, not very. We're getting a very Amy view with that scene and I suspect Carol was about to thank her before being stepped on (verbally).

Honestly dude, just hand wave it a bit if you feel you have to do anything, by the time you start stressing about making a story with (indistinguishable from magic) hyper tech, so long as you are consistent with it we, as readers, are already rolling with it and enjoying the ride.
Don't we see Fog ships floating a couple of times? I remember one point where someone splits the ocean and floats over the gap.

Had a thought: Taylor should get a look at a cheap off-brand phone and make one from nanomachines, son. That way, she doesn't look like some weirdo standing in the middle of the street. Instead, she'll be standing in the middle of the street with a phone, which is completely normal.

That's a feature of the gravity-based engines (and spinal cannons) of the ship hulls, not the Klein Fields the Fog use for their force-fields. Klein Fields are something the Mental Models are capable of projecting on their own, without the infrastructure of a ship to support them. The gravity drives and cannons are big and require a ship hull. Mental Models are also capable of physics-defying jumps, strength and agility, but that's because they're made of nanomaterial not biology.

At the end of the day, the Fog have a good understanding and the ability to use multiple dimension technology (see Klein Field, Mirror Ring system, etc.) of which gravity is just another dimension to manipulate, or gravity is the thing in which other dimensions "reside", either way manipulating gravity is something the Fog have a pretty good handle on.
Note I am not saying they have mastered gravity control, there are some pretty had limits on what they can do and the bigger feats we see all require significant power and/or computing resources to pull off, but when you have the ability to do stuff like the super gravity cannon and the Mirror Ring system, that is pretty far up the gravity/dimension manipulation tech tree.
So ensou has a pretty broad base of things to draw on to use in the story that (in and of themselves) would fit with Relentless and/or the Fog's abilities. (Of course putting them into the story in a plot logical way and making them a good part of the story is a whole different question.)
One thing I have not seen touched on is that for all the Fog have a good understanding of multiple dimensions, Relentless seems to be their first experience with multiple universes.
This contrasts with the Entities who's entire ability set revolves around multiple universes and transferring data/energy between them. The entities do seem to have some understanding of multiple dimensions to make all the powers we see work, but their primary tech tree is Alternate Universe, not Alternate Dimension like the Fog.
Once (if?) Relentless starts looking into how powers actually work, the whole alternate Dimension vs. Universe thing could turn into a big deal.

So... I have a thought. Kongo's bullship fleet teleport/printing press module. If Taylor ever the thought to build it, could she theoretically bring more Fog ships to her dimension?
Also Kongo parts the ocean for miles in that same sequence, Taylor making a personal stairway to heaven is nothing in comparison. FoF makes math it's bitch.

I mean, isn't Taylor supposed to be an experimental model too? The fact that she can do this stuff is less the Fog can't do it, and more why didn't I think of that?
Ok, I don't remember any specific examples from canon, but how wording-dependent is Dinah's power?
I mean, the Tattletale/Lisa persona is pretty much nonexistent at this time, and neither one was her real name. Will asking questions about Tattletale/Lisa automatically target on Leah? Would asking about Sarah work? (That's at least still her legal name, I think.)
Or would Dinah's power instead indicate a high probability that Lung actually killed Tattletale? (I mean, you could make an argument that he essentially did, minus the (small?) probability that Leah will actually fully recover that persona.)

I'd recommend reading chapter 69 of the manga found [LINK REMOVED]. In the first few pages Gunzhou describes how Haruna , Kirishima, and probably all large Fog vessels utilize their Klein fields during the firing of a Super Gravity Cannon.

Remove that link. AFAIK that is not a licensed translation and as a result a direct rule 0 violation.

Just put on a headset with microphone, or even a fake one. Nobody will bat an eye at somebody talking to an unseen person with fake earphones and a fake microphone on her face.
If it's for her spacing out while surfing the internet or sending texts, then your plan makes sense.
Fool! That won't wor-
-hey, bottle of scotch!
...why is it dark all of a sudden? Well, nothing to do now but sleep... or C&C! Let's do that second one, yeah!
Awww, yeah! 4/11, BAY-BEEE!
...yeah, I know there's nothing special about 4/11, but it's a NEW CHAPTER OF TRANSPOSITION. I've decided to celebrate however I can!
Leah's finally come to admit her sudden, massive crush on you and invite you to dinner and cuddling?
...stop looking at me like that. I choose to have HOPE!
Taylor, I assure you that Danny is doing his best to sleep through anything he might hear ever, because there are things he DESPERATELY doesn't want to know and Leah visiting your bedroom in the middle of the night is one of them. For... multiple reasons.
Huh. So THERE'S a change from canon. I wonder why he went with all the extras this time? Didn't have Tattletale around long enough to get all the E88, maybe?
Yeah, Kaiser seems the type. Always "I'll get you back, I promise!" and then just falling asleep or something. Asshole.
Despite my normal suggestions, I'm honest enough to admit that's PROBABLY not the best solution to the problem, Taylor.
...probably.
...like 95%.
...eh, what the hell, let's get Armsmaster and Kaiser drunk and see what happens. Maybe they'll calm the fuck down afterwards and talk it out. Or maybe Dragon will lose her shit and destroy the E88 from her Orbital Death Platforms. Either way, win-win!
Did... did you not think there was something weird about their "HITLER HAD A FEW GOOD POINTS ...for KIDS!" vitamins?
And god forbid they act like the reality of the situation!
*puerile giggle*
Yes. Golly. Whatever could you do to equal the odds against a cape like that? How could you defeat a scared, experienced, squishy, NON-BULLETPROOF cape like that? GOLLY, IF ONLY THERE WAS SOME WAY OF TAKING OUT A THREAT FROM A DISTANCE THAT WAS READILY AVAILABLE TO LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL.I GUESS IT'S JUST AN UNSOLVABLE RIDDLE!
Well, that IS why they add the calcium silicate....
I have a
Also, I'd get punched by the Staff. Probably metaphorically, POSSIBLY literally. (I'm honestly not 100% certain Xon CAN'T punch someone's heart out through the internet.)
"And they have being inept and getting in their own way all tied up already, you know?"
Oh-ho! Concerned for Victoria, are you? For your new friend? Your new friend who is a girl? Your... okay, we all know where this is going, right? Right.
"And if that doesn't work, Brandish will be a bitch at them until they give up just to shut her up!"
"Well, I could always-"
"You're not allowed to drop your real body on them."
"WELL, THAT'S NOT FAIR!"
...but not the armor from his SECOND thread: "Alexandria's Secret (Armor)." You know, the one in the Pervertedly Parahuman sub-forum.
*glances at canon*
*wild, hysterical laughter*
Yeah, that's... that's one way of putting it.
Hopefully. With reservations to a lovely restaurant and a beautiful black dress just ready to go the second you say the word....
Well, how would you LIKE to think of her? Feel free to list any potential pet names or romantic portmanteaus of your names, either cape or civilian!
*narrows eyes* Is... is she...?
...I'm keeping an eye on you, Leah.
Oh? How would you prefer to call her? Exceptionally dateab-
-oh. god dammit
I SAW "PRETTY" IN THERE! THAT COUNTS! I'M COUNTING THAT.
...I recognize that behaviour. That's the behaviour of a member of the Order of the Ship Shippers! SISTER! WELCOME TO THE FOLD!
No possible jokes to be made here hey look a bottle of scotch
again no possible jokes to be made about victoria inviting taylor over while she is en deshabille excuse me can i get more scotch in here... like... ALL the scotch? ...IMMEDIATELY?
*facepalm* I'm pretty sure I've already said this, but... Taylor, the best place to hide an infinitely sharp sword is NOT the same place teenage boys hide their porn mags!
Danny will be exceptionally happy you won't have any 'accidents' with your... sword, Taylor. Incredibly so.
It's... not the WORST way I've seen someone get invited to get into someone's bed. ...but it's pretty close.
Wait. Not interject something just to prove how smart she is no matter how smart it would be to just shut the fuck up and let something slide?
OH MY GOD, YOU BROKE TATTLETALE
Victoria is not "morning people." ...of course, there's probably not a lot of people who ARE "up to fight a gang war at 3 am in the morning people." So... I feel we can give her a pass, here.
I want you all to know that I'm not proud of how I'm counting that and making a note of it on The Chart.
...not that it'll STOP me, but still.
(The armor, of course, was perfectly normal and fine.)
So... dressed in gang colors and selling drugs directly in front of (and to) a teacher?
Is it because she's a strong, assertive woman in a skin-tight outfit? Does it matter what you actually answer, because I'm going to put whatever I want on The Chart anyways?
The answer to these questions will... honestly, be exactly what you're expecting if you've been paying ANY kind of attention.
I'll take it! That's parental approval, right there!
...yeah, there's no possible joke I can make here. Despite how much I want to quote Hellsing Abridged.
Yes. Handle them. Handle the two giant hot blondes. About which handling I will be making no jokes. *twitch* None. *twitch* *twitch*
"She only called us 'independent menaces who should be flogged in the street and dragged through broken glass and hot sauce until we agreed to submit to her almighty authority twice! That's a new record low!"
Yes, here's hoping you get lucky tonight. *cough* I mean "are lucky!" HERE'S HOPING YOU ARE LUCKY TONIGHT!
You're... you're talking about his powers, right? ...right?
"I'm a BOAT!"
"...oh god, she's one of those. fucking fishmalks"
Alternately, and follow me on this 'cause it's a wacky suggestion... you could NOT increase it and they'll stop trying to grow once they run out of room.
I'm... pretty sure she just called Fenja and Menja fat?
*burbles into a scotch glass*
*burbles into a scotch glass for a LONG, LONG TIME*
Congrats, Amy! The fact that Brandish doesn't want to lose face by arguing with you in front of Taylor trumped her desire to not have you killed and/or injured! That's... that's good, right? ...right? I mean, it's certainly something, that's for damn sure.
What? No. She said it was fine! When someone says something is fine, that means it's okay and everything's cool! ...why are you all looking at me like that? S-stop shaking your heads! DON'T LOOK AT ME WITH PITY IN YOUR EYES!
As opposed to the blonde back home. Laying in your bed.
...starting to think you've got a type, Taylor.
And this is where we make the obvious joke about Relentless making Glory Girl... curious.
There's... uh... there's a lot in there, so why don't we just keep it all neatly in there AND DRINK HEAVILY?
There's certainly no way anyone could turn this into any sort of playful teasing and/or flirting! Not at all!
...what is this Chart-shaped object I'm writing on? THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT LET'S MOVE ON.
(Taylor knows this, because she keeps track of Victoria's hairs. All of them. #3,582,173 by Victoria's left elbow is her favorite.)
"Brockton Bay Nazis. I hate Brockton Bay Nazis."
Yeah... that's because she just found the Armsmaster/Legend slash fic you and Emma wrote together years ago. No one should ever use "throbbing" THAT often in a story, Taylor. Remember, the maximum is THREE TIMES per sentence!
Instead of, I dunno... JUST HITTING ONE OF THEM IN THE HEAD BEFORE THEY REALIZED YOU WERE THERE.
I assure you, Taylor: You can make awesome speeches to slightly concussed people just easily as non-concussed people. Even easier, in fact!
Hmmm, I had something for this, but the only thing my notebook says is "Climb Mt. Valkyrie!" and then there's a bunch of doodles of large, curving hills? Not sure what I was thinking. Meh, let's move on.
*coughs*
*breaks the top off the scotch bottle*
*pours down throat*
Don't worry, Taylor! I have some advice from an expert on this very subject:
...oh god i'm running out of scotch I'M RUNNING OUT OF SCOTCH!
Annnnd this certainly won't result in any fanfiction of... a certain type on PHO's NSFW section. Certainly not. No. ...you're gonna regret having your brain plugged into the internet, that's all I'm saying, is all.
Yes. Proud. Not jealous. Not of the giant woman and her giant... just general giant-ness. Not at all. It doesn't matter! Not in the least! Besides, you've already decided to correct your lack of... giant-ness in a sane, responsible fashion and GOD DAMMIT LEAH STOP GIGGLING!
Counterpoint: She's a NAZI. I'm not saying you should start with the lethal maiming, but... let's just undull that sword see where the night takes us, hey?
I repeat: LITERAL. FUCKING. NAZI.
(Fenja's been determined to bash Relentless ever since she saw the rumors about Relentless and Glory Girl on PHO.)
Are you sure? Have you checked German? They have words for EVERYTHING.
(Coil deliberately timed this just to fuck with Amy's sleep schedule. Because he's a dick like that.)
"We'll crack the windows and leave your favorite station playing on the radio, sweety, I promise!"
hahahahaha THE CHART FEEDS
Ah, yes. That ol' boring mom thing of "Not wanting your kid to be murdered by super villains." SUUUUPER LAME!
There's a joke here to be made about "going down at a touch," but I ain't gonna make it.
Amy, I assure you that exposing yourself in the middle of a fight is the WRONG MOVE. Void_Cowboy is NOT a valid source of advice!
Not for nothing! Victoria learned a great lesson about why pitchers throw something other than just fastballs! And Brandish learned what it's like to be used as a soccer ball. So it's just been a fun night full of sports-themed lessons!
I... I beg your pardon?
fuck me ensou's trying to kill me
Yes. Breathing heavily. I'm... I'm sure you were. jesus christ i'm gonna have to inject the scotch directly into my brain
I mean... that's probably for the best, though? Seriously, who thought a WHITE HOOD in BROCKTON BAY was a good idea?! Is it one of those "protective camouflage" things? Were they supposed to go "Oh, white hood, she's alright!" and just think the crosses were red because of flames?
