I am against Nigredo's choice because, in addition to questionable morality (because even the best NPCs see humans as inferior beings), Taylor can have a psychotic breakdown when activated, which no one on Earth Beth knows how to stop. Except for Contessa, and I don't want to be in debt to the Cauldron.
I am also against buying forms for bonuses. Because this is an exploit of mechanics, and from a narrative standpoint, because it will turn the interludes in the Mystery Room into a real hell to write.

Seems like we can't agree, do we wait for someone who hasn't voted yet or someone to change his vote or will @Levelgap break the tie if we take too much time?
Btw does it count if the work contains a character who has been isekaied from our world but not the protagonist just one of his companions

Well, I picked the one with the highest vote based on results on the voting tally.
If it have any extensions on that vote (like buying some forms after the action commands), then I'll also include the one with the highest vote for it.
This means buying Ramiris is already the most likely one to win on buying forms, I am just waiting for the action command...

Everything. Literally. In the book, her name is "The Mother of Modern Science", and although many of the concepts for which she became famous were suggested by her son, she was the one who brought them to life.
Getting to the Docks without being followed is pretty easy.
I just need to ask for a bus, ride a block away from the PRT HQ, and then get down before going to an alleyway and changing into Shinobu.
I found out this morning when I was Shinobu that this form is very proficient on stealth and some spying stuffs. It was pretty obvious when the hidden cameras and bugs were quickly detected with my eyes after getting to this form.
I check myself and see that nothing is amiss. There are no bugs or any hidden trackers put in my clothes. Maybe there is something with me when I am Iris but it was gone along with Iris' form when I change into Shinobu?
.... Now that I think about it, does the things that were with my forms also goes with them whenever I change forms?
To make sure, I look at my pockets to look for my new ID, wallet, and the funds that was given to me by the Head Consultant. Seeing that it was gone, I became sure of it.
I change back into Iris and look for her pockets. Sure enough, anything I put in her pocket was there.
This means that whatever is in their person will also go along with them if I change forms!
For example, if I have wallet in my person as Iris, if I change forms it will be gone along with Iris. If I go back into Iris, the wallet will also appear again to where I put it.
This is too complicated for me. But I think I get the gist of it.
Anyway, I thought of a way to carry my things even when changing forms.
I just need to put it away for me before I change forms. After that, I can change forms without that thing vanishing along with it!
I quickly take to doing that and put my wallet and ID to the side before changing forms into Shinobu again.
I look to the side and saw that the wallet and my ID is still there. These proves my theory that whatever is in my person will also go along with the form I am using when I change forms.
.... Are there any hidden functions with my powers along with this?
Well, I'll think about it later. For now, I need to check our house first. [Escape Artist] +100 EXP
Hopping through the roofs is very exhilarating. It seems like Shinobu have a talent for freerunning.
It's not really as awesome as jumping like a Brute. But I can get to roofs that are a meter close to each other.
Shinobu also have a great sense of balance and is very aware of her surroundings. I don't stumble or slip whenever my feet touches the railings or slanted footings. I can also feel the presence of people like it was second nature to me.
While I was hopping through roofs and taking shortcuts, I also took the time and pick some forms in this mysterious floating panel.
I felt like looking through some of my list so I decided to pick the (See More...) repeatedly.
I look into it, and then I decided to randomly pick two names in it.
The names I pick are Arakawa Miki and Ramiris. The total cost of picking these two forms is 151,000 EXP.
[Seventh Form Acquired] +3,000 EXP
[Eight Form Acquired] +4,000 EXP
I don't know why I pick them. I think they might be helpful somehow.
Anyway, after picking them, I have arrived at our house. I hide the floating panel in my vision put my focus on my house.
It is still the same as I remembered it. With Shinobu's sharp eyes, I can see that one of the steps on the stairs at the porch is still unfixed and might make a sound if I try to step on it. Going behind the house, I can see that the back door still didn't have a lock in it.
I don't want to be seen by my Dad yet. It's not the time. I just want to check if he is okay or not.
With that decided, I look into the windows and see if he is inside.
".... That's curious, I can't feel anyone inside my house." I muttered to myself while feeling confused.
I decided to get in the house through the door on the back and look inside it. It took some time before I leave our home.
I can't see any of my Dad's things. Even some of my things are missing in my own room.
But even though most of our things are gone on our house, it is surprisingly tidy. Like someone is still taking care of our house.
I am confused. What is my Dad doing and he decided to take out most of his things along with mine?
He is still living there right?
... Maybe he is just working at the Union.
I'll check it out tomorrow if I find a time for it again.
For now, I need to buy some of my necessities. I really need some change of clothes.
There are some thrift stores on the Docks. I think I can buy some second hands there. The sun has already fallen for a few minutes now when I am done buying some cheap clothes and other daily necessities.
I have already changed back into Iris before coming back to my apartment room on the Downtown.
When I got to the front of the apartment though, I saw the familiar blue bike parked besides it.
Wait.... does that mean...!?
I quickly go upstairs and rush to my room. I was surprised to really see him just in front of my room, closing the door.
[First Time Meeting Colin Wallis "Armsmaster"] +500,000 EXP
"Armsmaster!?" I exclaimed in surprise.
What is he doing here?
"Oh. It's you Iris. Perfect timing." He said before continuing. "Do you have time tomorrow?" He asked.
"... What are you doing here?" I asked while feeling confused.
"I investigated about your problem in this room. I saw some of the bugs, though those are already disabled. Other than that, I don't see anything else." He said before continuing. "So, can you answer my question?"
"... What do you want from me?"
"I'm interested with your Tinker forms and think that it might help me. Why don't we test it and see if our specialty is compatible?" He told me with a straight face.
Oh... I already plan on asking him about that. Though I decided to do it tomorrow because it's already noon at that time and I planned to visit my Dad awhile ago.
"Of course." That's why I accepted his proposal.
"Good. Here is my card. Call me if you are done with your work." He said as he passes me his own business card.
The card seems to come from the compartment inside his gloves. That was impressive, though I think it's obvious because he is a Tinker.
"Well then, see you tomorrow." He said before moving passed me.
I nodded at his words as he goes away until he leaves my sight.
After that, I go inside my room and lock the door. After that, I change into Shinobu again and check if there are anything that I missed.
After making sure that nothing is inside my room, I finally felt relief and change back into Iris again.
"... Oh right, I still have those two forms that I pick awhile ago. I wonder what those two can do?"
Before I did that, I put the cheap second hand clothes that I bought on the cabinet besides my bed and then put my wallet, and my cellphone on the bed (I just recall that my phone is still in Iris' pocket when I change back into her).
Anyway, after taking care of all of that. First, I decided to try changing into Miki.
When I change into her, my line of sight changes once again. Though she is not as tall as Shizuku, she is taller than most of my forms.
Along with this change are more ideas not just on science, but some technology that can be considered Tinkertech in this world.
Space stations, personal mechas, medicines that can cure cancers, literal dimension tech, and a lot more.
..... Oh god! Miki is more ridiculous than Ringo!
The only thing hindering me to use her knowledge is the lack of resources. If I was given enough time though, I can create my own inexhaustible energy if I wanted to.
Well, Ringo can also do that by create a mini cold fusion reactor, but Miki's way of doing things is a lot more advance.
I also find another benefit of changing forms.
Because I can still recall some of the knowledge that came to me when I use some forms, I thought it is only that. But it seems like if I use another form that have a greater understanding of the other form, I can quickly create new theories or ideas depending on the form that I am using.
Right now, Ringo's knowledge that I can't make sense of when turning into others became a boon to my form as Miki.
It seems like some of the scientific knowledge that Ringo knows are still unknown to Miki and after recalling those knowledge, I suddenly got a lot of ideas that I want to do to improve those knowledge.
Like, I am brimming with a lot of ideas now and I wanted to try all of it!
But I must hold back. I am only trying check what my new forms can do.
Now that I learned Miki is too smart, next I must try Ramiris.
I change forms once again.... wait!
Why is everything so big!? Also, what's this mysterious appendage that I am moving behind me.... oh it's my wings... wait, wings!?
I try looking behind me but the only thing I did is going around my room at breakneck speed.
... Right, that's stupid. Of course I can't see what's behind me!
What's the use of this form?
Well, I can feel the raw Magicules surrounding me and being formed continuously at my surroundings.... wait, what's a Magicule?
Well, whatever it is, I am sure it's not that serious. In fact, it seems like these Magicules are forming because of my presence.
If I try to focus myself for a bit, I think I can transform this whole room and turn it into a whole new world!
Isn't that amazing!? Aren't I amazing!?
"Goddammit Taylor, focus! This is no time to be distracted by my own thoughts!" I chided myself.
.... Ugh, now I feel so depressed scolding myself. Like, who scolds themselves!?
I think I am done being this little form for now. I should change back into Iris again.
As I thought of that, I change back into Iris... and then fell to the floor face first.
"Oof!"
[Stupidity At It's Finest] +1 EXP
"Not helping, you stupid floating panel!" I yelled in irritation.
Ugh... well then, I am still not hungry or sleepy yet. In fact, I still feel energetic.
But I don't have anything to do right now.
What should I do?

Arakawa Miki is a real genius who manage to make new innovations and technology from the half assed explanations of her son (The MC).
Though surprisingly, she didn't have some fundamental knowledge about general Science (Like she doesn't know about the Eject Function until the MC explained it to her)
But she is a genius. Even the Dimension Tech is not an exaggeration. They have access to it since Vol 2 and even can create it because of what they discovered at the moon.
That's my reasoning why she is portrayed as a super genius in this story.

Can I suggest that we dedicate night time or sleeping time for each of our character to posses taylor body and write everything's they can or can't do. And their advice for taylor?
This will help us when testing new form and inform taylor the drawback that came with it
With two character that can hold their own (shizuku and demon lord ramiris) we are sufficiently safe when we get knock-out
Alright. Now can we Stop buying random forms?
Just because you can doesn't mean you must and I don't want to have forms that doesn't do anything beside looking pretty.
[X] Plan: House Dungeon
-[x] Change to Ramiris
-[x] First of all reinforce your house. Make it impossible for people to just break down the walls to enter your house.
-[x] Connect your windows to make anyone who goes inside the house though it comes out from the front door.
-[x] Set recording equipment on your house.
-[x] Create a labyrinth between the spaces of your bedroom and the rest of the house. You only need protection when sleeping and it would be troublesome for both you and your guest to navigate traps all the time inside the house.
-[x] Set the traps in the labyrinth to only be for capture and only make it lethal when it's close to your bedroom.
-[x] Do not make monsters. You are not ready for the repurcussion if words of you being a bio tinker get's out.
Don't know what's the limit of Ramiris ability so I make it kind of vague. Is this acceptable Levelgap

I agree but how do we do that? Do we ask them outloud to make a list of all their abilities and when we go to sleep whatever form we are using overrides to write it in the waking world?
Since the materials for tinkering seem to be so rare and expensive can we get them via transmutation?
It s not that bad as long as no one knows the monsters can reproduce themselves but Ramiris can t make them herself we could use Miki to make mechas to defend the dungeon
Alright. Now can we Stop buying random forms?
Just because you can doesn't mean you must and I don't want to have forms that doesn't do anything beside looking pretty.
Hey they are not random...well Ramiris is random but she is useful too
I promise I just want one or two more forms, one capable of enchantment to make our civilian form less vulnerable to assassination attempts and snipers and depending on the answer to my question earlier one capable of transmutation(wait even if she is not good at it Shizuku can use Creation Magic right?)
I agree but how do we do that? Do we ask them outloud to make a list of all their abilities and when we go to sleep whatever form we are using overrides to write it in the waking world?
As stated the character is aware of what taylor doing, so we can just write or talk about it. The rotation can be set to from the earliest form that we unlock

Can t they just make a list inside the mindscape and when they are ready the form we are using overrides and write it down from memory(so clearly not Ramiris too small to hold a pen and too stupid to remember, Miki or Ringo would work best I think)

True but Shizuku and Ramiris should be exceptions since we lose the override of a form for 24 hours(or is that only for emergency overrides?)after using it and Shizuku and Ramiris are the only ones who can fight(well not really for Ramiris but she is a spiritual being I don t think anyone in wormverse can do anything to her and she probably learnt the Veldora Killing Arts)
That's why I suggest to take turn of 1 character per night. So by the time the 24 hour cool-down over shizuku or ramiris cool-down period should be over
