Amelia, Worm AU [Complete]

She can see the possible future all the time,it must be a partial budding of the thinker aspect to Taylor powers,she spent three more months being bullied.she could have budded with at least a dozen people...who have the potential have trigger with an administrative or master version of her powers.I wouldn't be surprised if Dinah knows it's Literally Taylor's fault for what Coiled.it only gives her headaches when being she's asked questions.Taylor is the superpowered versionversion of typhoid Mary.
 
If I may ask, how did Dinah realize that Bonesaw was going to make her a gryphon several weeks from the point, when she was still drugged and controlled by Coil?

So your telling me that if you had super precog powers, you wouldn't ask yourself the probability of getting a mythical beast as a pet?

Scrub.

.... Noooooo...ooo..oo?

You understand that Dinah has been a cape for nearly as long as Taylor, did not run in the same circles, and is far more likely to have come into contact with one of the Protectorate capes, right? What with her cousin being a member and everything. If she's a bud (which I don't believe she is) it would be from one of them.

And you don't get a 'partial bud', you get a bud, or your shard pings off other shards and uses their information to help establish its own manifestation.

Not only that, we have Word of Scion that QA has only budded once.
edit: Could not find why I thought this was the case. So removing it from consideration.

I meant in the sense she was depressed and scared all the time that her shard was budding with people close by. Before she started hanging out with the undersiders.
And in Copacetic, Taylor sometimes accidentally's the people around her into parahumans...and can hand out parahuman powers practically at will...

... she sees the future?

Her power works by showing her images, and it gives her numbers by being really good at interpreting and counting them. She doesn't often look any closer than the numerical summaries of the answers, because it gives her headaches faster, but she can.

Don't trust Dinah.

Also, if you can't figure out how Dinah could figure out that one (or more) of the S9 survive, then figure out which one survived... you aren't very bright.

The gryphon part? Nah, that she probably didn't know. But, then, she didn't claim that she did.

This is exactly what I thought. She was refering to the fact she knew Bonesaw was going to be alive.

Also as was said earlier. She was so cute when she used adult speak to say, "Can I please go play with the rest of the kids now and show off my pretty kiten eagle?"
 
Just finished binge-reading all of it so far, and I have to ask - what happened at the end of Chapter 68? Because I feel like I missed something.

Basically Riley created a bug-remote control with Amy's help that would make the controlled bugs re-create the trigger-vision by using them in a similar fashion as fireworks.

All the non-parahumans simply saw a nice show.
The parahumans saw the trigger vision but the stranger effect made them basicaly ignore it and after that forget it all together.
Miss Militia on the other hand has perfect recal and can remember the vision, and when she saw the recreation she recognised the Entities and exclaimed : "It's them"

In a later chapter Amy and Riley use the recording of the vision (and the recording of the rest of pantheon watching the recording) as a means to help Lisa's power to find a way around the Taboo, first for her and then for the rest of Pantheon

They stumbled across the taboo. Taylor's bugs imitated the trigger vision, causing everyone still under the effects to black out. Hannah, having perfect memory, didn't.

edit: Zombie-Imp'd.

Well, she saved one or two questions a day to ask for herself. All it takes is one "Chance S9 will come to town." to know it'll happen, and they're a known threat. After Leviathan showed up she may have asked "chance and other S class threats show in the next X amount of time."

"Chance they kill me." - Would have been lowish I guess?
"Chance they run." - High chance, in a way it's what the remaining S9 members were trying to do. Makes he optimistic
"Chance we kill them/half of them/specific members." - Over a variety of days.

And she works it out from there.

Dim?

to help Lisa's power to find a way around the Taboo, first for her and then for the rest of Pantheon
Minor correction: That didn't get around Taboo, they all just know there is a taboo, and have policies for dealing with it where applicable. Not sure about whats happening now, their brain tech might have gotten past it.
 
Complex power interaction leading to precog immunity? That's an interesting theory I haven't heard before. However, Contessa's interlude shows her limitations were artificial and that she had no trouble predicting Scion and Eden before they were placed.

Perhaps it's the artificial limitations that are based on that somehow?

Of course it's artificial. All the limitations placed on the shards are.

Interlude 26 said:
Soft. The broadcast is sent out to the counterpart, along with suggestions and tips on how to refine the shards.
Agreement, the counterpart accepts.
But the entity can still see fallout effects. There are parallels in memory storage. Not many, but there may be glimmers where the subject is capable of perceiving the information stored in the shard as the connections are formed.
For good measure, the entity breaks up one shard cluster, tunes it, then codes the effect into each and every shard. It studies the host species further, refines, attunes.
It takes time, but the entity forms a sufficient safeguard. The host species will forget any significant details.

Presumably, they placed the complex power interactions under the taboo because it easily leads to the idea of the Entities themselves, and they don't want that. They learned their lesson about giving the host species too much information:

Interlude 26...again. said:
The next world encountered has sentient life, civilization. A complicated, rich world.
It is a symbiosis, this time, more than parasitism. The two species learn from one another. The shards code the 'technology' of this new species into their memories. They learn of warping space and gravity.
Until the species turns against them. Those lucky enough to bind with the entity's offspring war against those who do not. Some seek to rule.
Monarchs. The entity forms the thought, defining the memory.
The cycle is cut short by a forced exit, as the shards are rooted out and destroyed by the natives of this civilized world.

You have to remember that both scion/zion and eden are cases of massive power interaction; technically being nothing but; and as such any artificial precognition and thinker block designed to force ignorance of the entities has a descent chance of also forcing you to ignore anything like the entities, in this case power interaction.

what if the reason for the sanction on realities is because most parahumans are drawing some kind of energy from them...they might actually be killing people on different earth bets...Then Amelia and the group learned they are a Scion too.:p

you're like Luna Lovegood; so many interesting things happening in your head that don't match what everyone else sees. your world must be fascinating.

well didn't any see how similar the thinker aspect is between Taylor and Dinah,isn't it a fun coincident they live in the same city.the only contacts between Taylor to Dinah was through her father when he did business with Mayor office and Sophia.has no one heard of "six degrees of separation".i'm not going recite the definition for you.as no one seems to use evidence to support their assumptions.:p and is the broken image supposed to mean something..that i am broken, you, or your faulty beliefs.....you got burned son...BURNED.lol just joking

I don't think they are similar. One has arbitrary amounts of multitasking and the ability to interpret non-human senses, and the other can get statistics about an array of possible futures. Any definition that called them related would be so broad that all informational powers could be called related.

As far as Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon goes, basically any two Thinkers are related by that measure, even if we restrict ourselves to relationships that existed at the beginning of canon.

Taylor <-> Emma <-> Alan Barnes <-> Carol Dallon <-> Armsmaster <-> Alexandria <-> Contessa

See?

You might want to get some sleep.

Yeah, pretty much.
 
Or you could just cheat.
Every parahuman only has, at most, three degrees of separation. Host > shard > shard > host. Two if they're both Scion shards.
you failed to take in the fact the shard can move to a different host after a certain time period if the person has failed to trigger.
