Diebuster cross. Assault shook his head a little then leaned forward. I should publish it, but Im afraid that most normal mathematicians would take one look at it and either ignore it or have an aneurysm. Every day he'd eat the same kind of food, dress the same, sit in front of the same kind of shows. He grinned back at her. Have read that! Emma's body is discovered over winter break, the locker never happens, Taylor triggers with a thinker power remarkably reminiscent of supercop Harrier du Bois' unique way of looking at the world. For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding. Director Piggot sighed, staring at the folder that detailed the last moments of a fifteen-year-old girls life in nauseating detail. Do you know how many neurons there are in a human brain? He shook his head. A real AI isnt automatically a threat, you know, despite what the movies would have you believe. That may be so but even if not we need to look into it, he retorted, reaching over to turn off the microscope, then pick up his helmet. You have no idea what it's like. He kept discreetly studying her while she looked back out over the water at the rising sun. I don't know why, perhaps it was just a convenient place. Weapon. Only the one, really, but she was a good one. OK, he replied. Armsmaster frowned a little. Assault out. By now he was close enough to see that the shiny reflective surface looked like someone in a somewhat weird looking suit of power armor, not anything he recognized. As far as Im concerned that entire thing was four centuries ago and I dont hold a grudge that long, generally. A few minutes later they arrived at their destination, Hives wings changing pitch a little as she descended. She shook her head. You are not their equal, but one day you might be. She nodded. Hear what? another one asked irritably, poking a pile of cardboard boxes with the end of his bat. Not natural one, Construct. Ah. Which makes it murder, of course. On top of a major arson case, all of it firmly in our purview, the rather obese woman sighed. They were mixed with some sort of metal in a repeating pattern that defied easy analysis. The original range was maybe between a thousand and two thousand feet depending on various conditions. Poison? A conservative estimate would be around ten to the twenty-fifth power or thereabouts. A few seconds passed in silence, until she heard footsteps crossing the floor of the loft. Dismissed. Director. He nodded one last time to her then left the office, closing the door quietly behind himself. Really efficiently, no fight or anything. What did she do? Vicky now looked fascinated. About what? The internet. She sighed. Not least because no one listens anyway. It could. There seemed to be a pair of antennae of some sort sticking up from the head area, which were gently moving around a little. About | Wiki Rules | Reply !Delete to remove | [Brackets] hide titles. Adaptation was good up until Taylor got the monkey form, after that she became an unbearable asshole. Thats a lot of data. Several hundred exabytes at least just in the public facing servers, yes, she admitted. Thats why no one else can understand what they do. And apparently likes music as well. Again, they both fell silent, staring at each other. Good god, he mumbled, shocked. What rains you bring Another Diebuster cross, but less escalation, incomplete IIRC. I may troll her a little now and then just to keep her honest but her crimes towards me are a long way in the past from my point of view. She sighed. She could sense the energy glands pumping sugars and massive quantities of ATP to fuel the energy expenditure. What the hell had Hebert triggered as? He noticed it had three slender claw-tipped fingers and apparently two thumbs, one on each side. For a moment, leathery wings materialised behind her and with a single beat she launcher herself across the dark waters. Posted since I came across it while sorting out files and thought some people might find it interesting for one reason or another. But she hasnt gotten high on her power and is still figuring out her limits. Right through a window, nowhere near the E88 guys, who notice him, chase him, and in the end, kill him. Unfortunately the firebomb was a pretty effective one, it torched the school more or less immediately. She fell silent for a moment. Are you available, Colin? A familiar voice spoke from beside him as the Tinker peered through a microscope of his own devising, gently manipulating tiny tools while watching the result. Two and a half months ago when Winslow burned down. She got better, he said with a nasty grin. Its a dirty job but someone has to do it. Not a parahuman, a goddess of nature, then, he said with a wondering chuckle. Its based loosely on curare, isnt it? Yes. He watched, then did the same next to her. The crystals detonated, and Lisa knew nothing but burning white fire. Would be interesting to see a story around the world after/through Taylors changes. Agent Carl Rile rather enjoyed stake-outs. Hive must have truly incredible visual acuity and sensitivity. This isnt going to go away quietly. Bearing in mind the damage and the loss of life, no, Director, I dont think it will. Moving to a chair the armored Tinker sat down carefully, mindful of the slight creaks produced by the weight of his power suit. Get to the bottom of this, if at all possible, she replied, looking up at him from her chair. I guess? Four arms? Vicky gaped at her sister. Where have you been for more than two months? Studying him wordlessly for a while, she eventually walked back with an air of mild resignation, somehow conveyed without the aid of normal expressions. Deciding it was probably because everyone knew where New Wave lived she dismissed the thought and enjoyed the flight, which was weirdly different from what her sister did. You may extract some amusement value from it, you might not. Puzzled and worried she followed as he led her to a meeting room, which she trailed him into. Holy shit, she mumbled in shock. They stood there for another minute or so. All linked together into one huge neural network. Oh, Christ on a stick, he moaned. "I never try to do anything, I swear i never try to hurt anyone,I swear, I swear that i'm a good kid, Yeah, Taylor that's a good one. Please consider turning it on! The fire spread much too quickly and burned far too hot to be accidental but there is no sign of normal accelerants. Then A little more than a year later, the girl went off to camp, and when she came back everything had changed. She has absolutely no reason to lie and nothing to gain from it. Put it all together and She faded out of view. If youd asked me that sometime in the first twenty or thirty years, Id have happily said I intended to do unto her what she did unto me, with interest, but I grew up. A new one, presumably, or else a renamed one. Taylor controls all the Endbringers. Nearly two hundred thousand times as many neural cells. Hive is a new parahuman Assault ran into today and ended up having a long talk with. But yes, its actually rather terrifying. She saw energy storage glands, full of sugars and enzymes, linked to biochemical pathways that would give a massive power boost when activated. 4 Lightlinks 2 yr. ago You can call me Hive. Wracking her brain, Amy couldnt recall any cape of that name. If I had to guess, maybe 10k or 20k words. None of these conclusions, except for the second one, made her feel in any way better. That's not really an explanation, sis, the blonde sighed. Oh, Jesus Christ, he breathed, putting it all together suddenly. Anyway, I need something to eat. Were going to have to tell the Director, of course. Yes, I think so. She hesitated. Let her rest in peace. Greg Veder finally works up the courage to confess to Taylor Hebert in their senior year of high school - only to find out much more than he bargained for. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. She shook her head with good humor. The sky was completely clear, after a cold mid-March night, with not a cloud to be seen. Dispatch, this is Assault, I'm just going off route to check something. Do you require backup, Assault? the voice of the dispatch officer asked briskly. And call me Amy. Welcome to Godkiller everyone! I suspect your second suggestion is most likely the correct one, Im afraid. Arthropods tend to creep humans out for some weird reason, especially ones six feet tall and intelligent. She cocked her head again, amusement radiating from her. She wasn't thinking very clearly but she did try. There was silence for a moment from both of them. Malaria is a major disease. Its killed more people through history than anything else, she replied seriously. Chagas disease? Desperate to live beyond a life of isolation, she must learn to survive a planet without mankind while dodging predators, stall her starvation, and discover where the hell everyone went.

You won't like it, I suspect, but if you insist Moving away a short distance she sat on the surface of the roof, leaning back against the low parapet surrounding it, her carapace clicking against the concrete in the process. I suspect youll get a number of yes answers to that question. What do you intend to do, Director? the man asked as he stood. The eyes were a work of art, no less than thirteen opsins covering vastly more than then normal human spectral range. Which didnt make the following interview with Director Piggot and Armsmaster any easier in any way at all. Little is publicly known about it, save that the tremor of its creation rippled around the world. Really? Something changed. Someone put her there. This girl grew up, as they tend to, and she and her friend did everything together. I have to admit I dont like to believe she could deliberately burn someone alive, but I also have to admit I can see her locking someone she didnt like into a confined space. Reaching the roof of his target a few seconds later he hopped over the edge and landed behind the figure, which didn't move. The school itself is a write-off, it will have to be completely demolished and rebuilt. No other injuries? she asked, closing the folder. Hebert? Were going to be reopening the Hebert case. The encounter with the insect-woman and the examination that Hive had allowed, if not indeed encouraged, had gone a long way towards alleviating the boring routine she'd fallen into for some time now. Its more an unwinding story than anything that is likely to go anywhere, as its always good fun to throw a completely OP Taylor at the Wormverse. She must also be extremely smart, I think. Amy thought back to what she'd seen with her own abilities. She didn't say and I was a little preoccupied, so I forgot to ask. Actually, it was the first chronologically, I started playing with it around the middle of 2015, but didn't stop working intermittently on it until after I began seriously writing Taylor Varga. Here! There was abruptly a face smirking at her from ten feet away. Custom paralytic, not lethal. I turned off most of my emotions a long time ago, they just caused problems. JavaScript is disabled. A threat rating like this is so far out of our experience we have no choice, were going to have to bump it up to the top. Sophia was staring at the monitor with sweat running down her face. She hurled herself forwards. Wearing strange clothes that looked like they'd been stitched together from hide. Too often it is for worse, and hope is crushed beneath annihilation. The DNA test was conclusive, despite the small sample still viable. His mouth was set in a hard line under the visor of the helmet he was wearing, part of a suit of extremely advanced power armor. If you need me, just call for me. You still havent given me a name, he reminded her. There was nothing left except for a few fragments of bone. You see, once upon a time there was a girl, she grew up over that way somewhere, she began, waving one arm vaguely towards the Docks area in general. Possibly Miss Hebert was trying to send a message, most likely the name of the culprit. To a traumatized, suicidal teenager that had accidentally eaten her own father just a week ago. Sounds pretty banal, right? He watched as the wasp crawled around on her finger, then did a little dance, each leg extending in turn and waving in a circle. In the end he said, But you said you were born here. You really want to know? she asked after a long moment. Lasts about twelve hours with that dose, unless a counter-agent is administered. How did you get it into them? Amy asked with interest, looking over at Hive. Why? He couldn't think of a good answer for a moment. They all headed up the stairs, Lisa stopping dead in the doorway and looking around suspiciously. More or less all the evidence that could have led to a culprit was compromised by the extreme heat. He couldnt entirely disagree with any of the points she raised. But thanks anyway. They both fell silent again. Thats more than a little scary he said honestly. Even the bodies would stay around for longer because theres no insects to eat them. She gazed at him. But Id like to talk to you sometime, if thats OK. Curious, Amy nodded. After a moment she looked at him again. Brian and Alec walked around her, the latter poking her a few times in the side. Neither did the utterly inhuman face that looked curiously down at her a few seconds later. Whoever it was seemed to be leaning on an air conditioning unit fairly casually, looking out at the slowly rising sun over the Bay. The two men looked around as well, as did Rachel as she pushed past her teammate with a grunt of irritation. Combat uses are less obvious but I guess being stung a lot would slow most people down if nothing else. True, she replied. Not positive. A quick inner debate and a check of the time had him end up moving towards it while tapping his earpiece. The insect-woman laughed. Your use to the Wards may come to an abrupt end no matter what the Chief Director wants. There was a pregnant silence from everyone for a short time as Sophia shrank back into her chair, her mind whirling. Oh my god, thats amazing. Holding another hand above it, Hive made the appendage glow a soft green color like a firefly, which Amy realized was almost certainly from the same chemical reaction. See you around. OK, we understand you find it fascinating. She saw Assault, minus his mask, glaring at her. It might have been meant as a horrible prank, but personally I think it was attempted murder on the part of at least one of the people involved. If you could do that why would you restrict it to human levels? Good point, Dragon replied, adding a Brute 2+ rating to the tally. Youre beautiful, she said in a low voice, then went red when she realized what shed said. Im not saying there isnt some weird power or combination of powers that could kill me either, nothing is really immortal, but even if there was, the aftereffects would be bad enough to make using it pretty much impossible. Why?Assault asked, then hastily added, Not that Im saying I want to kill you. He got the impression she was more or less grinning at him for what hed said. She turned her head towards him, making him stare again, a little shocked and unnerved, although he wouldn't have admitted it to anyone. Her antennae moved in a way that seemed to convey amusement. Not even slightly. I wouldnt go that far, but Im certainly not a normal parahuman, no. She seemed to find the idea funny. I'd recommend skipping over the chapter from the 'Emperor's' perspective, it delves too much into the AU 40k which isn't great and he's grating. At least as much more in the private stuff that shouldnt be able to be accessed, yet as far as I can tell somehow was. Who, how, and why, I suppose are the main questions, he finally stated. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Also, though I like this story a lot, it is sadly dead.
