Luckily, her power gives her the ability to free herself. Father was such a miserable person. Either way, here it is. 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. Also, though I like this story a lot, it is sadly dead. God, Vicky, Amy said with exasperation, going back to her task with a shake of her head. Not to mention all the other arthropods. Really, really badly. Unfortunately, we have no proof of the involvement of any specific person yet. Have you talked to Shadow Stalker yet? the Director queried. At first, I might have wanted to try to end myself, but now? A gesture of resignation followed. Mostly data searches, what looks like traces of access to databases of all sorts of information. 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. The wasp was joined by another one, both of them taking off and flying interlocked rings. He grinned back at her. She nodded. That would happen. Taylor wakes to find a world abandoned. She could here them poking around in the various possible hiding places, starting with the ones nearest the alley entrance. The Taken Queen Taylor gets the power of The Taken King from Destiny. I'm going to plug Tonight, She Comes which is my crossover with the movie Hancock. Anyway, since I wrote it, I may as well let others read it. The back of the torso looked like it split open down the centerline, and was more very dark green than gray under the iridescence. You have me at a disadvantage? Trailing off enquiringly, he waited for a name. It didn't. Shit, he muttered, appalled. Not really. I squeezed right back into a small gap and was hoping desperately that they wouldn't see me. After her Trigger Taylor decides to confront Hess about her bullying, somewhere the teachers can't take Hess'side. Yes. She was going to die very soon, so using that control, her abilities came up with an interesting solution to prevent this happening. Amy shrugged slightly. The words seemed to mean only what they said. Nice try. The brunette shrugged. It was nice to talk. Turning his head he inspected her from this new vantage point, his eyes widening a little. Nothing happened for a while. Which didnt make the following interview with Director Piggot and Armsmaster any easier in any way at all. Unluckily, her power isn't the subtlest thing alive, and the Wards are chasing her soon after. 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. This is pretty fun and lighthearted so far. Easy enough to influence if you know how. They looked at each other for a few seconds more. Total ecosystem collapse, no food, everyone dies. Well He didn't want to be rude to someone who seemed pretty agreeable to talk to so far. Her eyes, when she moved her head a little to look at the Rig directly, had thousands and thousands of tiny facets which made the sunlight refract into all the colors of the spectrum in various patterns, like looking at a DVD from an angle but even more spectacular. A series of thuds told her that her teammates had met the same fate. So, its likely that the same source is responsible. That would be my guess, yes. She looked seriously at him. Using a parahuman weapon in the process. Yes. There was no way to put out the fire at the time with her power set, it completely surrounded her, so She trailed off, then asked a question. You can't drop that bombshell on me and just walk off. She saw Assault, minus his mask, glaring at her. Hmm. It would be a massive coincidence if there was something else out there at the same time doing it. OK, weve got Thinker 9? Moving a little closer, as quietly as he could just in case they turned out to be both hostile and unobservant, he studied the figure some more. Its based loosely on curare, isnt it? Yes. Diebuster cross. Same again. She recognized codings that seemed to come from various sources, such as mollusks, fish, mammals, even plants. Something horrible that leaked out of a dumpster, she said, shrugging a bit then resuming scrubbing. They inject a toxin which is an amazingly potent paralytic. Dragon and Armsmaster seem to have noticed so youll probably hear about it soon. Somehow rolling to her feet she kept going, all the while hoping someone would help her. Master 8? Hey, wait! he called just before she reached the edge. Look, Im going to have to get back, Ive managed to miss most of my patrol. She held up a hand with another shake of her head. Not even using the poisonous ones, cockroaches would be enough to strip someone to the bone in a few minutes if you used enough of them. Assault shuddered again, harder, feeling ill. OK, I get the point. Good. Those would seem to be the two most likely scenarios, Armsmaster agreed. Looking at it she was just in time to see a small black insect fly away. Good idea. am I? the mystery voice completed for her, definitely amused now. True. Armsmaster thought about the idea for a little while. Her friend, her oldest friend, someone as close to her as a sister, suddenly wasn't. She looked at him again, while he listened. Do I look human? she asked rhetorically, waving one of her hands at herself, one that wasn't resting on the air conditioner. Everyone stared at her. The sole survivor of the Hebert family sat in his chair for another ten minutes, before he quietly got up, retrieved the pistol, carefully unloaded it and locked it in his desk, then went downstairs and out the door of the Dockworkers Association building, locking it behind him. Then, convulsively, he flung the pistol across the room and ran his hands over his face hard enough to hurt. Although Taylor sandbags harder than all of The Endbringers combined, occasionally, she does show her true power. And who the hell is Hive? Now smiling a little, feeling weirdly pleased with the way she'd shaken her normally pretty unflappable sister, Amy went back yet again to cleaning her hands, digging around under the sink for something more effective than soap and water. She reappeared, fading into view more slowly as the effect was gradually turned off. It's a work of art. Is she a biotinker of some sort, then? I'm not sure, I guess she must be. Im not interested in telling most people what to do, its very boring. Why were you near a dumpster? Vicky asked, looking puzzled. A sudden thought made him laugh again, although wince at the same time. Amy paused, then nodded. Practically instant loss of voluntary muscle control. She shouldnt really be in the position shes in because of that. The woman sounded sure of her conclusions. It was the watchman who raised the alarm when he smelled something other than his cigarette burning. Nodding to the folder, he added soberly, The evidence suggests that Miss Hebert was still alive when that happened. Christ. Director Piggot swiveled her chair to look out the window for a moment, before turning back. She shook her head with good humor. One side effect of my personal singularity is that my mind runs a lot faster than a normal human one does. What rains you bring Another Diebuster cross, but less escalation, incomplete IIRC. A storehouse of weapons beyond imagination, controlled by an enigmatic old man of unclear origins and an abused teenager. I wouldnt go that far, but Im certainly not a normal parahuman, no. She seemed to find the idea funny. Eventually she moved, shaking her head slowly while still looking at her sister. 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. And they can produce some weird results. Both true. She nodded. If you need me, just call for me. You still havent given me a name, he reminded her. Its easy. We have too much to lose right now. Injected with chemical agent. Which is the fact that, for the last six weeks, there have been no new cases of malaria diagnosed. Presumably the conductive pathways were to allow the released electricity to exit through the claws. Only those dumpsters left, the machete-wielding assailant announced. You are not their equal, but one day you might be. Relaxing a little he put the phone down again. It was strange. Her sister waited, while she thought, looking impatient. In her panic and pain her abilities reached out and found all those tiny little brains and nervous systems accessible, linking them together into one connected web. The Director looked extremely angry and also nearly as scared as Assault did. Possibly more than everything else. In her case, it was the "vision" that followed. Hi, Assault. As the locker got hotter and hotter, she tried writing the name of the person who shoved her in that fucking thing in her own blood, but couldn't finish it. Shes He mumbled, remembering the report. 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. Yep. From my point of view it's been more than four hundred years. 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. Posted since I came across it while sorting out files and thought some people might find it interesting for one reason or another. You have to be one of those. Turning her head to face him, she cocked it to one side. I mean, her body alone Vicky grinned. Taylors mother was different from everyone else. 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/. It had been pretty obvious for the last ten minutes that her status as Panacea, the Healer Super-hero, wasnt going to save her from what was at least a nasty mugging, if not something worse. On. Taylor is the avatar of a Greater Being. Humans are animals after all and animals are just really complicated bags of chemicals. I triggered, the power was a Master one essentially. All right, then. Her voice sounded amused. Taylor Hebert triggers inside her locker. as well as But yes, its actually rather terrifying. A wise mans heart is seldom glad if hes truly wise" - The Poetic Edda. Not least of which was the fact that one of her tormentors worked for you guys. Sophia, he muttered. Based on some charred residue there were also some very unpleasant waste products in there with her. You people? he asked, grinning for a moment. 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. Get to the bottom of this, if at all possible, she replied, looking up at him from her chair. 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. But the end result was totally unlike anything shed ever encountered. It was obvious from her voice that the lack of family had an unpleasant story behind it. Sit down, Sophia, Piggot ordered in a tone of voice that brooked no disobedience. Im limited to arthropod-based designs right now although I can pull in all sorts of interesting DNA modifications from other things, but if it drifts too far away from what youd probably think of as an insect its nonviable. Shut up both of you, will you? she gritted, as Rachel came in at the rear of the group with all three dogs at her heels. Would be interesting to see a story around the world after/through Taylors changes. There was something about the voice that made him suspect the person beside him had gone through things that were beyond his understanding in many ways. OK, I'll tell you the rest. She didn't respond at first. Oh, yes. Youd probably know her under a different name, though, Sophia. That didnt normally end in anything but a big argument, which was just what her migraine needed. Anyway, this brilliant individual pulls the pin, aims, and throws. She might have started panicking a little, at some point. May as well tell you a story, she said, leaning back a little and bracing her upper body with all four arms. She turned up out of nowhere and stopped them. But, of course, they found me anyway. And this Hive person? He had people to fill in. On one hand I'd quite like to as I think it has some promise, on the other hand it could easily end up being another story that exploded into far more words than I was originally expecting. An obscenely high level one. 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. We know youre here little girl, this one called in a rough voice full of malicious amusement. It took me a long time to find my way home again. That sounds unpleasant, he cautiously replied after thinking her words over. https://amp.reddit.com/r/WormFanfic/comments/e370a2/op_fic_request_repository/&ved=2ahUKEwi3t6rUz57rAhWawTgGHWmBAwMQFjAAegQIAxAB&usg=AOvVaw1xQzIKguPKy-JS7CLQMRmA. Do you have any idea how many that would be, even at this time of year? He shook his head. If she was truthful about her abilities, I think we need to add a Tinker rating as well, Armsmaster commented somewhat reluctantly. OK, we understand you find it fascinating. Combined with effective invisibility it could be higher. And while her passing devastated Taylor, she will do whatever she could to continue her mothers legacy, even if that means she has to discover it first. I guess? I mean, look at this, its based on mollusk chromatophores, bioluminescence, and retinal light sensing cells. Eventually, his hands stilled, then he very slowly raised the gun and looked down the barrel. 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. 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. Just read Caught In Causality, and man Taylor never catches a break huh? Its very difficult to be sure, Director, Armsmaster replied after apparently thinking over the question carefully. It looks like someone or something has more or less downloaded the internet. He gaped at the monitor for a few seconds. Yes, thanks. Amy met the blonde's eyes with her own in the mirror and held up a hand, showing the unpleasantly adherent goo. The DNA was obviously heavily edited, most of the normal redundancies elegantly pruned out and the entire thing simplified and optimized. More appeared, until the effect was a bit like a model of an atom, half a dozen of the insects flying in circles around a common point. Thanks for listening. The woman began to walk towards the edge of the roof, while he watched, still stunned. I think shes an ex-Ward.. I don't think so, but I'll get back to you on that. But that won't stop her from flying as high as she can. Certainly not on a world-wide basis. Colin raised his eyes from where hed been staring at his hands, thinking, to look at his best friend again. He shook his head again dismissively. Who? she asked reflexively, then slapped her hands over her mouth, wrinkling her nose at the stench from whatever it was that she now had all over them from the dumpster next to her. "Taylor?" "It's you!" Taylor exclaimed. "oops I was practicing and accidentally managed to only destroy a little box and not everyone on the island with my laser beam. All this from whats basically a completely broken Thinker/Master combo We havent finished yet either, Piggot sighed, also looking at the monitor. Zero. Not least because no one listens anyway. Should have floored it, Barlett muttered, taking a sip of his coffee. There are more insects in a square mile of countryside than there are humans alive on the entire planet. All the internal organs were protected by a more flexible and thinner version of the exoskeleton. Like I said, in my opinion shes a better person than you are. Maybe one day. Turning back to him, she pointed at herself. Who the hell is Hive? she exploded. After a moment he slowly turned his head to look at the moth that had been flying circles around the light over one of the desks for the last half hour. Even after her death, her husband and daughter knew very little about her. Amy was just wondering if she'd meet Hive again. (No knowledge of LoL is needed, tho it would help. Taylor controls all the Endbringers. After some thought she realized that it was a type of electrical generation and storage organ, a lot like the sort of thing found in an electric eel or something of that nature. (Tags will be added as the story progresses, and probably at commentor recomendation). 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. 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. In a very short period of time. Eventually she hopped up to sit on the air conditioner unit, her motions much quicker and more graceful than he expected, so fast in fact that he stepped back a little. Wings? She was terrified of telling her father, but she told the teachers, people who should have listened and done their jobs. That's how bad it was. He understood what she meant and winced. What else? The director suddenly seemed in a slightly happier mood, making everyone look at her for a couple of seconds. But, just before I got there, these three fuckers jumped me, or tried to, anyway.
