Hehehehe!!! And what's worse, those aren't PRT-Issued arrows! Either way this goes Sophia's so far up Shit-Creek it's not funny, and something tells me she's not only NOT got a paddle, but likely not even a BOAT!!!!!
I don't understand how Shadow Stalker could do this. She certainly wasn't dragging the locker out and pushing it back in each night to hack out those shelves, so she must have been using her power. That lets her get her arms and a tool behind the locker, fine. But then, she's got to turn the tool (or part of it) solid to do the hacking while keeping her hands and arms immaterial (to go through the locker back and control the tool). Is she able to do that? I thought it was an all-or-nothing deal with her.There was indeed a set of crude shelves hacked out of the wall.
She went into Winslow one night and unbolted the locker, dragged it out and hacked out the shelves.I don't understand how Shadow Stalker could do this.

Thanks, Ack. That makes sense.She went into Winslow one night and unbolted the locker, dragged it out and hacked out the shelves.
Then she bolted it back into place and used her phasing to put stuff on the shelves and retrieve it again, through the back of the locker. That's why there was a faint outline of UV dye on the back wall. It came off on the way through.

Oh yes it is! And you started your post with Hehehehe, so you thought so to.
I have the saying for it: "She is up Shit Creek in a rusty, barbed-wire canoe with a paddle made of sugar. And she's entering the rapids."Hehehehe!!! And what's worse, those aren't PRT-Issued arrows!

Dont forget slapping Blackwell and other staff with accessory charges, and if the school is getting money for having a ward present, defrauding the government.
The locker incident itself can be considered attempted murder and bioterrorism.
"Whose locker is that?" asked Gainsford, looking at Principal Blackwell.
"Uh … I'm not sure." There were beads of sweat on her forehead, and her eyes were flickering everywhere as if seeking an escape route. She knew damn well whose locker it was.
Oh boy, that is one of the worst case scenarios imaginable for the PRT in this specific situation...The only way I see 'WYVERN SMASH' happening is
if Sophia takes a stab at Taylor and gets Danny instead, even if the cops and Miss Militia take Sophia down, that will cause rage smash.
The least of those worries in that scenario would be the fact that EVERYONE now knows that the PRT WILL kill you to keep you quiet.Oh boy, that is one of the worst case scenarios imaginable for the PRT in this specific situation...
Mostly because she would be in the right to kill Sophia in that case. Self-defense.
If she, however, manages to not kill Sophia (or even better, not shift at all), the PRT will have a lot of problems to deal with. Also, potentially a new member of New Wave, who is open. Wich is a powerful message: I do not trust the authorities to protect my family from retaliation, but now that he is dead, I trust myself to protect myself from retaliation...
Armsmaster was/is trying to play loose with the rules to ensnare the powerful changer that currently his guts slow-roasted.So, I was re-reading and got to Chapter 5
Why the hell was Sophia allowed to come into contact with Taylor?
The PRT knew who Taylor was, that Sophia caused Taylor to trigger, and yet allowed them to come into contact with each other again.
Man, how fast is THAT going to bite him in the ass?Armsmaster was/is trying to play loose with the rules to ensnare the powerful changer that currently his guts slow-roasted.
Very. Only made worse by the facist being the Protectorate agent on site right now.
I mean, she managed to hold in the change even after Sophia punched her, so she's probably fine. Unless there's imminent risk of bodily harm I think she'll be able to hold it together at least for the next bit.Metinks Sophia is not going to be the only unmasked parahuman for long. I'm not sure Taylor can hold in the stress from this revelation long enough to avoid becoming the Wyvern.

Or she rushes outside into the parking lot to shift, like a Hulk who wants to be left alone.I mean, she managed to hold in the change even after Sophia punched her, so she's probably fine.
