Unknown attacker. Why? He couldn't think of a good answer for a moment. She was at the extreme other end of the loading area but it wasnt all that big so it wouldnt take them long to find her. Either way, here it is. Annette Hebert was a mystery. For a moment, leathery wings materialised behind her and with a single beat she launcher herself across the dark waters. Practically instant loss of voluntary muscle control. 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. If Sophia is involved and we can prove it, nail her ass to the wall. If we cant prove anything? Keep a close eye on her even then, Piggot said. You heard those pauses, right? Hive is a new parahuman Assault ran into today and ended up having a long talk with. Checking the time he winced. Something out there is learning everything it can, about everything. Trap? Now what do you think the equivalent number is for insect neurons? She cocked her head as she asked the question. Much of the current understanding of physics is incomplete at best and completely wrong at worst, so I had to redo a lot of it from scratch. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Hello, Assault, the figure suddenly said, the voice female and clear. She could here them poking around in the various possible hiding places, starting with the ones nearest the alley entrance. Work Search: New information makes it pretty certain that well be able to prove it was you and your little friends who were responsible for her being in that locker in the first place. Memories of Iron Taylor gains an AU Tony Stark's memories, book 1 of 2 complete, but dead. Well, when my abilities did what they did, I kind of overwrote a lot of normal insect behavior. You can come out if you want, a female voice announced out of nowhere, sounding mildly amused. He shook his head, not taking his eyes off her. Not your fault, she replied. And apparently likes music as well. Again, they both fell silent, staring at each other. You have no idea what it's like. 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. Restricted to insect or arthropod based forms from what she said, but with additions that could come from anywhere. Dawn of Worm Taylor is a Primarch from an AU version of Warhammer 40k, complete. She was terrified of telling her father, but she told the teachers, people who should have listened and done their jobs. Combat uses are less obvious but I guess being stung a lot would slow most people down if nothing else. True, she replied. Taylor died, but her memories, thoughts, personality, that lived on. Amy paused, then nodded. Ive found something a bit weird and I wanted to run it past you before I told anyone else, Dragon said from the monitor, the camera mounted on top whining very faintly as it repositioned itself under her control to look at what he was doing. Incomplete, and I haven't read it in a while, but I remember it being quite good. All right. It obviously wasnt human in the slightest and never had been. Its pretty safe and works really fast. The experience was enough to make the girl Trigger. She was fitting facts to the story we wanted to hear, not the one she was going to tell. The night watchman had gone for a smoke outside the front door and the cleaning staff had all left by the point it started. OK, then, we have a Thinker rating of Run Away. I'm just curious at the moment, there's something on the roof of the Fosberg Gallery that I want to have a look at. Acknowledged. OK, I'll tell you the rest. She was as uncooperative as usual, but in the end I managed to get her to admit to knowing the victim. Hmm. I wouldnt go that far, but Im certainly not a normal parahuman, no. She seemed to find the idea funny. Come on, were all thinking it. Her tormentors stole her homework and used it themselves, destroyed what they couldn't use, stole her property over and over again, including mementos of her mother, did everything they could to make her life hell. But her friend did her best to cheer her up and keep her interested in life. Were going to have to tell the Director, of course. Yes, I think so. She hesitated. So for now sit back, relax, and enjoy Taylor desperately trying to retire. A long time ago. You have family here still? He noticed she went completely motionless, inhumanly so, for a second. Even after her death, her husband and daughter knew very little about her. Colin, its every single disease that affects humans and is spread by or involves an insect vector. It didn't work, it just made things worse. But the end result was totally unlike anything shed ever encountered. The school itself is a write-off, it will have to be completely demolished and rebuilt. No other injuries? she asked, closing the folder. Insect control. It was strange. Her sister waited, while she thought, looking impatient. She hurled herself forwards. Reaching the roof of his target a few seconds later he hopped over the edge and landed behind the figure, which didn't move. Added to just the things I saw her do, if she wanted you dead, the only thing you could do would be make a will. But I pretty much got better. Nothing I can pin down, nothing I can locate specifically, but a lot of it. All this from whats basically a completely broken Thinker/Master combo We havent finished yet either, Piggot sighed, also looking at the monitor. When she was sure that Sophia was doing as she was told, the older woman looked back at Dragon, scanned the faces of the others, then asked, In your estimation what should we rate Hive as? Wondering who Hive was, Sophia listened carefully. Victoria didn't seem to notice. "Goddess" is not well definined between systems, different properties have very different ideas of what counts as a 'god'. Its more than just that. The tone of her voice made him stare. Her antennae moved in a way that seemed to convey amusement. All four arms were wrapped around her, holding her in an unusual yet surprisingly comfortable way. They were mixed with some sort of metal in a repeating pattern that defied easy analysis. He looked up at her. People pick up on that sort of thing at a subconscious level, so its important to at least pretend or they start backing away and trying not to make eye contact. He grinned at her. Mental processing a couple of thousand times faster than a human? Undaunted, beaten but unbowed, she resolves to drag Earth Bet to a brighter tomorrow, no matter how much it kicks and screams on the way there. All right, then. Her voice sounded amused. (No knowledge of LoL is needed, tho it would help. Thats more than a little worrying. When I began that story it seemed to have much more scope for amusing shenanigans than either of the other two, and since that was the sort of thing I was going for, I dropped working on the other two. If what Assault has relayed to us from his conversation is even remotely correct the raw processing power behind her is truly awe inspiring. I have little doubt that she was truthful, Dragon put in helpfully. . A few minutes later they arrived at their destination, Hives wings changing pitch a little as she descended. Turning, she grabbed both her sister's shoulders. I find it hard to believe that she doesnt know something about what must have been a very vicious bullying campaign against this girl. The man who pulled the pin died a few hours later from a bad case of bullet to the brain, so it's not even possible to prosecute him. He opened his mouth, not himself sure what he was going to say to that. Eventually the other woman snapped, Don't just stop there! Every insect inside a two thousand foot radius attacking anyone involved, or she thought was involved? the woman asked wryly, making him shudder as he contemplated her words. 'Female, I think,' he mused. The back of the torso looked like it split open down the centerline, and was more very dark green than gray under the iridescence. Brockton Bay is a great retirement spot, right? I'm looking forward what Lisa and/or her Shard comes up with. She got powers, nothing particularly impressive on the face of it, although potentially fairly effective with a little thought. I eventually realized what had happened to me, and I think I more or less went insane for a while. Youre beautiful, she said in a low voice, then went red when she realized what shed said. Reaching an altitude of a few hundred feet Hive headed directly towards the Dallon house, making Amy wonder how she knew where it was. We had a nice long talk about all sorts of things and she told me a story, of three nasty little girls who tortured a schoolmate to the point she Triggered. Shes lying, Sophia tried. And be quiet. Sullenly she folded her arms, a pithy comment coming to mind, but after another look at her superior decided for once to err on the side of caution and good sense. Prodding the screen he opened it, then stared. Then one day, the three main perpetrators of the torture managed to outdo themselves. Its not a hundred percent accurate at the best of times, and unfortunately Shadow Stalker is one of the people who it doesnt yet work quite as effectively on as Id like. Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations. Then sighed sadly. I don't know, like she's been around for a long time. Then, convulsively, he flung the pistol across the room and ran his hands over his face hard enough to hurt. am I? the mystery voice completed for her, definitely amused now. The amount of sensory information was overwhelming for the first couple of minutes. This is pretty fun and lighthearted so far. She must also be extremely smart, I think. Amy thought back to what she'd seen with her own abilities. Somehow rolling to her feet she kept going, all the while hoping someone would help her. Perpetuance Taylor is a black hole, short but good, incomplete. Blinking, she stared harder, but could no longer see anything. Sophia! I know, I should have made sure to charge it and I will next time. Get a spare battery as well, her sister commented, listening with interest. You can't drop that bombshell on me and just walk off. I cant prove it one way or another as of yet. All right, Piggot replied, with a frown of her own. A working knowledge of 'Worm' is required. She nodded. Exactly. "I made it" She was too tall. The invisibility was very impressive for something that was biologically based. Which adds a Stranger rating as well, of course, Miss Militia put in. No doubt at all. The only witnesses other than the driver of the vehicle were the cockroaches scuttling around a discarded sandwich wrapper a few feet away. I lost a lot as well. Her voice dropped in a way that conveyed infinite fatigue and sadness. Itll do for the moment. The wings began to flap rapidly as she lifted off. So in the end she gave up and just took it, hoping it would one day stop. Hebert? Turning to her rescuer, she studied her for a moment, then indicated the house. She didn't say and I was a little preoccupied, so I forgot to ask. Person? No doubt readers could pick out points of similarity if they cared to. Cool, isnt it? Staring carefully he could just about make out a faint distortion against the background, the effect a little like the one in the Predator movies, which was an unsettling idea. Her former friend had a new best friend, a very disturbed individual who was well, a violent sociopath is a kind way to put it. More like Thinker If you need to ask youre already dead, he muttered, then looked up as he became aware everyone was staring. I didn't even notice until I left the hospital. She shook her head a little at her own foolishness. 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. "oops I was practicing and accidentally managed to only destroy a little box and not everyone on the island with my laser beam. I missed it. She didn't move or turn around, making him wonder for a moment how she knew he was there and who he was. I also wanted to tell you that Im putting up some wards around the house. Acceleration Taylor can control vectors, complete. Not hostile. Eventually she moved, shaking her head slowly while still looking at her sister. Colin, I think its an AI. In her case, it was the "vision" that followed. I forgot to charge my phone last night because I was so tired when I got back and the battery ran down this afternoon. Dragon, weirdly, did. Im everywhere. Taylor Hebert died on the fourth of January, 2011. There was a Post-GM fic where Taylor became house-wife and rising a daughter in the world where she(Khepri) is worshipped like a god and her husband is a priest of this religion, An Idiot's Guide to the Underworld [Worm/Hades] short, I didn't enjoy Hades much cause its not my type of game, but that was incredibly enjoyable, Divine Administration - of Gods and Bureaucracy, https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/divine-administration-of-gods-and-bureaucracy-worm-exalted.13442/. We know youre here little girl, this one called in a rough voice full of malicious amusement. Landing gently, Amy felt her feet touch the ground and the woman release her. I want to talk to you about several subjects. True. Armsmaster thought about the idea for a little while. The biomass of ants alone is greater than all the people who have ever existed, and ants are only about one percent of the total number of insects world wide. Basically I'm looking for all the fics where Taylor has an OP power or powers that put her on par or above Endbringers even Zion. Well, Changer to some high level as well. Luckily for everyone concerned, that didn't happen. How did that help? The man lost his wife less than three years ago, and now his only daughter in horrific circumstances. Two of them were carrying baseball bats while the remaining one had a machete in his hand. Three paralyzed muggers at the following coordinates, ready for pickup. Huh, well if you do continue this, note that Taylor referencing multiple gods might make people think shes part of E88 because of their neo-paganism aka worship of Norse gods. Something happened to the mosquitoes? Looked at objectively it really did look very pretty. Oh, Jesus Christ, he breathed, putting it all together suddenly. Most of the technology is weird and decades if not centuries away from anything normal. But you can understand it? he wondered out loud, amazed. Inside she found Director Piggot, Armsmaster, Miss Militia, and on a monitor overlooking the table they were sitting around, the face of Dragon. Feeling a little stupid, and not sure what answer he either expected or wanted, he asked in a low voice, Are you watching me right now? Nothing happened. He'd initially thought 'Case 53' when he'd realized it wasn't a powered suit of bizarre appearance, but her words tended to suggest that she could remember her past perfectly well. But a figure from Annettes past found them all the same. Two years of hell culminating in an event so bad that the girl who had kept going through it all basically broke. Whoever did this work is brilliant. Thanks again, Hive commented, sounding like she would be grinning given a more human face. Shes not my problem any more. literally all the conflicts just get waved away on accident. Loved the concept since you first wrote the snippet. That's what it was meant to be. The footsteps slowed from a run to a walk. What have I said about sneaking up on people? That they don't like it? Vicky's voice was full of amusement now. BBFD fire investigators have also come to the same conclusion, which is why they called us in the first place. Damn it, Piggot growled. Generally the powers escalate from weak to strongest in the world with a good scaling conflict. Im probably saner than almost anyone now. Really excited for this one. This could be a problem, he eventually said. Dragon and Armsmaster seem to have noticed so youll probably hear about it soon. It looks like someone or something has more or less downloaded the internet. He gaped at the monitor for a few seconds. Reluctantly reaching out he picked it up and read the new message. 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. She turned her head towards him, making him stare again, a little shocked and unnerved, although he wouldn't have admitted it to anyone.
