Vespa

Reader mode
Personally, I'm eager to see Lung's reaction when a fuck off huge Asian Killer Hornet approaches while he's after the Undersiders and orders him to surrender.
 
Well, if Zion pulled the usual trick of damaging Administration during deployment to limit its effectiveness, in this instance I'd say the fracture took a slightly different path. With everything she's done, I'd suspect that Taylor was already unconsciously in mimic mode with her power when she got a visit from Panacea offscreen. Sort of makes me wonder if Administration still has the Shard cataloging function partially active and Taylor's pushing in the right spot to force it to work. The longer she uses the feature, the better QA gets at being able to work around the damage in that region. And now Taylor's come in physical contact with two new Hosts.

It'll be interesting to see if she gets any new background itches from this to try and experiment with.

Considering Lung's already boarded the Nope Train when it comes to a segment of the Docks due to spotting Vespa heading there, I'd say it'll at the least change where that encounter happens. Come to think of it, Tattle's own Power ought to let her sus out that there's a swath of the Docks that Lung's told his men to avoid. Whether she's wide enough to take the warning or decides to go poke at it like the Elephant's Child she is?...

Come to think of it, Vespa would know about any snooping well in advance of first contact at this point, so the only question is just how badly she decides to troll the encounter. And if Coil's got some of his men playing overwatch, that'll change how she handles things even further.

Ok so finished the re-read (moar please) and had a thought. While TayTay's Master ability seems to only work on insects/arthropods/crustacians/etc what about her Changer form? Would she be able to absorb and use larger animals? People? Other Paras? Be a neat and possibly horribly broken ability even beyond what WASP!Taylor has shown us so far…

I'd say... probably not. But.

Vespa might be able to merge with other humans, and maybe include other insects in that mix. Even if not, merging with a human, then de-merging might have a useful healing/repair effect on them, as they're restored to their proper shape...

Except, they'd be a tiny bit nude. That wouldn't be a problem, would it?
(Privacy precautions could be taken, except in emergency situations?)

Seems to be a pretty common set of emotions where you are concerned Taylor...

Wise man. Getting the fuck out of dodge sounds like a wonderful idea.
 
I think it would be fun to know how fast she can change.
Picture her just doing a small crouch before wings burst out of her back and the starts flying.
Or doing some Transformer shifting to 'change modes'
 
I like to imagine that Taytay did the whole forcibly bonding to only a single insect thing, QA panicked and contacted Shaper for potential un-fucking of the situation, a bored Shaper was all "no, no, let her cook...", and the two of them have been giddily swapping [DATA!!] since.

...It's interesting that that venom manages to combine disturbingly strong oxidizer with, seemingly, some actual venom-like bioactives.

Honestly I'm more worried about the oxidizer aspects. Like that sounds like it might be more aggressive than FOOF or ClF3. Also, how is she being selective about whether it's a venom or a corrosive or an oxidizer? She should have set the rat on fire and dissolved ot like piranha solution.

More aggressive? The concrete only corroded, it didn't ignite!

There are... more drastic possibilities...

Note the bright flash she could produce. Followed by a leap into the air, some spinning around, and a full-on Transformation Sequence?



Or, Taylor could pretend to be a mad scientist?
