  1. Just a Phase [Worm]

    More to the point? From what little they have, and an omake gamed out? They recognize they don't have a certain way to even hold Taylor, even if they are willing to go lethal force on her. Edit to Avoid a double post: Just rereading a few things, and this part jumped out at me. Not sure if...

  2. Just a Phase [Worm]

    I imagined it more that she still wasn't IDed as Taylor in this mess. For a joke I was thinking she grabbed a costume from a nearby shop. The Dread Pirate Roberts from the Princess Bride. And that's the name she gives. Of course PHO immediately gets the joke. "We had another DPR franchise...

  3. Just a Phase [Worm]

    Supposedly the Shard will start poking the Host's brain to get out there and Do Stuff if they try to sit on the sidelines. OTOH I felt if going this direction it would be better for Taylor to fall into Heroics. Witness something while on a run, and turn to walk away. Just like everyone did...

  4. Just a Phase [Worm]

    Actually Phase has been causing a fuss since Armstrong got impatient and had Watchdog Think in her direction hard. After which they wanted more info, and Armstrong was under pressure to 'get her with the program'. So Taylor likely came up in some manner before this. I think the real...

  5. Just a Phase [Worm]

    Or betting on his heroic reputation to be seen as untainted if he came in to 'clean things up' and oh, still get Phase to be a Ward. Taylor could drop this one, "If only Comrade Stalin knew what was being done in his name, hey Legend?" People thought that the gulags and purges were being done...

  6. Just a Phase [Worm]

    "First time dealing with bureaucracy, Legend?" He leads a major Protectorate team, and is the head of the Wards program. He should be able to read between the lines about A) shuffling the witness/victim off to cover up a problem, and B) that "Phase" is very publicly not getting with the...

  7. Just a Phase [Worm]

    One idea not mentioned for an option. "The Simple Solution" Rune looked at Taylor. "Say, you can phase through anything, right?" Taylor nodded back, retying her sodden hair back, "So far." Rune pointed down at a familiar sign. "Like an Endbringer Shelter?" Taylor slapped her head and...

  8. Just a Phase [Worm]

    Probably directly proportional to her small t triggering Taylor to flashbacks of Emma and Sophia.

  9. Just a Phase [Worm]
    Extras: Omake: Uncomfortable Thoughts

    If the Boston Wards 'just happen' to talk about patrols and threats around her? That is where Taylor won't be. "It's like she takes every hint as a place NOT to be." Lily looked at Weld, "And why should she neatly walk into our amateur sting?" Weld's head snapped around, "That isn't what...

  10. Just a Phase [Worm]

    And can end with Piggot wondering why one Ward finally snapped and painted the Ward's common room with the other two's blood and guts. Piggot in this story apparently doesn't understand negative returns, and that engineering such a toxic situation is worse than not getting that shiny new cape...

  11. Just a Phase [Worm]

    Another lit fuse this omake didn't cover? Just by putting Phase in the Ward's tour rotation? The Boston department started a clock. "When are we going to see Phase out on patrol, on PR visits outside of the Ward's lounge, or even pictures of her in costume?" The longer the delay and "the...

  12. Just a Phase [Worm]

    I was skimming TV Tropes for this fic, and something hit me. Part of how Armstrong and Gauss are failing on their recruitment? They are refusing to be advocates for Taylor, despite holding legal guardianship for her. Taylor is being very clear on what Emma and Sophia did to her, culminating...

  13. Just a Phase [Worm]

    One other thing, that probably requires training for a Ward to send such an alert. To know what is really a crime and what just looks bad but is still legal. Training Taylor hasn't had, besides not having the time? Is also behind the mighty wall called "Power Testing". Taylor is an...

  14. Just a Phase [Worm]

    Given how the PRT didn't notice one of the civilians was actually a local villain? The only way they find out if Taylor slips her power A) includes awareness of Thinker Powers being used on her, and B) it is precisely directional if the target is in line of sight. If the first is only found...

  15. Just a Phase [Worm]

    Taylor is showing conscript syndrome. She's counting the days till the Freedom Bird takes her away, and in the meantime doing the bare minimum as long as it doesn't obviously impact her. She is not sticking her neck out for the Wards or the PRT short of a threat. Also to report...

  16. Just a Phase [Worm]

    And that is how Boston finds out Taylor can completely nope containment foam, and probably most other things they have to hold people moving around when they shouldn't. I can see the mere attempt, even in a "Foam them all. God will know His own" scenario will trigger enough of a panic attack...

  17. Just a Phase [Worm]

    The thing is, is Taylor even on the distribution list for this? Her ID and pass are actually temporary/guest ones. Meant for short term use till they get a new cape through power testing and get them issued their official ID. It was implied Guass had to jury rig someone because without Power...

  18. Just a Phase [Worm]

    I'd say it falls behind power testing. Among other things you likely need to know any personality quirks that come from powers. Like the stereotype of Tinkers getting twitchy if they go too long without working on their stuff. I doubt the assumption was she got M/S training in Brockton...

  19. Just a Phase [Worm]

    That and Taylor doesn't have Trust Issues now. She's decided it is cheaper just to buy out the Publishing House. So she is not going to open up easily, to anyone.

  20. Just a Phase [Worm]

    Yeah, Taylor's ability to trust will take time, probably years, to rebuild. Even with dedicated help. Notice how the school isn't pressuring Taylor to 'make friends', 'be more open', or "join a club, it will do you good!"? Because they've quickly recognized just getting Taylor through the...
