Simple. Something has to be motivating the Undersiders to risk death by giant fire dragon.
It ain't the Empire, nor the Merchants, Faultline wouldn't get anything out of it, so it leaves the only guy left in town....

I think the Coil mention is clumsy.

Quick plug for a neat promising quest: Pawn is a new case 53 quest - more faithful to canon in that it doesn't really mess with Brockton Bay. Original city, original plot, interestingly set post-Echidna, with a neat Cauldron prologue. It's very promising, and really deserves more voters. Or just readers. 
Back to affairs of Voracity! It's pretty clear Skye's laser-guided hunches are pointing Armsmaster at the Undersiders (41 votes, wow!).
As for the other part, right now, we have 21 votes for 'check previous area, hint at Coil', 18 votes for 'check previous area, but don't name Coil'. I'm not sure if the distinction is important to voters, nor am I sure if it'll end up having consequences, but it's the kind of thing that very well may. I'll give voters a little while to edit their votes if they want to.
Skye is the costume! The Protectorate will be selling Cirrata onesies very soon, I'm sure.
Definitely, but I'm still thinking about where I should set the bar for fanart, and how. I'm not a great judge of artwork or the effort that went into it. I'm afraid it's going to be fairly arbitrary, but I do intend to reward obvious effort. (And multiple smaller pieces from one user would also add up to a benefaction.)
It's information that I previously promised to (occasionally) give you. Not necessarily tasty. Be sure to consider:
1) exactly what are you seeing?
2) would you gain from acting on it?
Not a trap per se, but just remember who you're dealing with. Anything you do risks giving him information.
Be careful there. Considering territory, and how this isn't a typical crime for the Undersiders (who tangle with the ABB regularly), does it make sense for Lung to own the Ruby Dreams casino?

Because Super Motorbike and guy who can fly are totally different as far as pursuits are concerned.Things happening! As an aside, this is why I excluded the speedsters from your teammate choice. Tattletale wouldn't rob some place on a day Dauntless is flying around.
When they're of similar speeds, which I believe they are, although I don't have proof of that, they really are quite different. Guy who can fly tends to be able to get places in half the distance given straight lines over buildings, and also doesn't make a noise the Thinker can notice five minutes out and tell which direction it's coming from.

There kind of is. Armsmaster's bike is fast, but not as fast as Velocity or Dauntless, even if we're not factoring in the ease of maneuvering that comes with being airborne. On top of that, Bitch's dogs are also capable of scaling buildings, which Armsmaster's bike... probably can't do. (Not ruling it out because fucking tinkers.)

However the most important thing is 'Can the bike outpace the dogs?'.

In straight lines, when he knows where they're going? Probably. With the mobility advantage that comes from being able to go across buildings and Grue blocking them from sight? Probably not, especially when they have a head start.

Because we don't know for sure that it was Coil. Sure, we highly suspect it and it probably is, but we don't know for certain and we don't want to discredit our self if it turns out to be someone else.

Blocking from sight is relative. No the heroes can't see them, but they can easily follow the trailing cloud of impossibly black smoke, escape is just not possible while they're relying on it and in canon they do not.
As far as being able to get around buildings more easily, partially true, this is an advantage that they have over Velocity so it's questionable from the start. To make it even more unsteady Cirrata easily trumps the dogs in that respect and I doubt the dogs can travel at 30 odd mph either.

The Undersiders are pretty good at the whole escape shtick. Dauntless and Armsmaster were able to catch up to them after the fundraiser crash because the former is a very fast flier, and the latter could see through Grue's darkness at the time.Agitation 3.12 said:

Okay. I totally underestimated the amount of darkness Grue could make while travelling at high speeds. Point Kyakan.

With Avalon in town, and more importantly access to PHQ paperwork and cameras, Tattletale knows where the heroes are scheduled to patrol. Her speed consideration was 'how fast will the heroes get from there to here', not heroes racing against Bitch's doggos.
She planned to be gone before the heroes got to the casino. (She succeeded. Without a write-in, you'd have gotten the canon outcome of the Undersiders getting away, because Cirrata doesn't change that.)
