Time for Taylor to brush up on the survival skills she learned in nature camp all those years ago.
She could use it as part of how she breaks unruly Ward. Leave a few openings in the defenses for escape attempts only for those escapees to come crawling back when they realize they have no where to go.
The are a bunch of criminals. That's why they focus on PR to the exclusion of all else.
Maybe. Depends on the exact state of affairs at the time.
Didn't remember that bit to her power. That's a good point in Taylor's favor to surviving. However, water will be the real big problem because she'll likely being in a rather arid area if it's not an outright desert.
Tracking inventory and keeping mundane eyes on Taylor's actions would almost certainly counter any sort of prep Taylor could try. The camp runners are hardly going to be morons and have dealt with tons of less than cooperative kids with varied powers even if Taylor is a rather potent Trump they don't know much about.
Not keeping everything in one pile and keeping an eye on things would do well enough to delay Taylor, and I feel like it's hard to say that they'd have nothing or nobody who could handle her. Especially given that Taylor didn't exactly do well in her only cape fight as a vigilante. Plus even fi they can't deal with her directly, tracking her mundanely and just capturing her when she has to sleep should be easy. For again she doesn't having any particular powers for movement.
Doesn't have to be. Just pull a Holes and put the camp in the middle of nowhere, southwestern united states and most of your job is done for you by the environment being utterly inclimate to any sort of escape without powers that Taylor doesn't particularly possess.
No clue. Depends on what the camp actually is on paper. Like we know Sophia got sent there to try to clean up her act after getting into the wards on probation but that hardly guarantees that the place is for new wards with issues or fuckups. If memory serves, and assuming Piggy's actions are legal, the Wards are rather under the power of their superiors and who is to say that Taylor's lack of cooperation can't be punished through as extreme of means as being sent to Alexandria's little camp. Either as the only punishment offered instead of a black mark because the one handing out the punishment to Taylor knows she'd take the mark and not care, as a result of accruing too many black marks, or Taylor taking it instead of a final black mark due to the system having a (seemingly) worse punishment for accruing too many marks on her record. That or Taylor might not know entirely what the camp means and tries to take the punishment of going there as a tactic to kill time and get away from the Boston Wards she doesn't like.
The result is that you get suspended, and when you come back, you find you have be given various restrictions and loss of privileges.
She can steal PRT equipment to aid in escape, a back pack full of ration bars and a bandolier of water bottles at the least or just hitch a ride on a supply truck.
I know it is kinda late to bring this up again but how likely would it be that the PR blowup would be bad enough to make it so other neighboring Wards departments have to send their teams out to do similar anti-bullying campaigns to lower income schools.
"Aw, look at rich kids and their oh-so heroic handlers, slumming it like they care."
Do you happen to remember the name of that fic?
That's similar, but I remember reading it in 2018. I'll try to dig it up later.
Why do that instead of not letting her know what she's actually being sent to until she arrives?
Well that runs into the same problem Armstrong and Guass have when trying to get her to do anything Wards related. That being Taylor can't participate in most things until after power testing which is still completely voluntary. I can't imagine that a Wards camp even one for unruly Wards would be allowed to operate outside of the program's own safety requirements. And another reason being that Taylor would just straight up refuse to participate in Wards summer camp because of her current predisposition to any Wards activities to begin with.
It might also snap Danny out of his funk when he sees the PRT trying to slander his daughter, because seeing the organization he trusted to keep her safe try and make her out to be a villain would probably make him reconsider a few choices he made in the past.
It doesn't matter if Taylor never forgives him he would still fight for his daughter, considering in canon he still stood by her and defended her when she was outed as a villain.
You're missing the point. Taylor is the one with infinite scaling escalation on her side, once she decides that all authority is illegitimate. She phases through security measures, steals information, and makes a hobby of blowing it all out into the public sphere. Or she tears out all the stops and starts leaving claymores in the bathrooms of PRT directors and politicians. Sadly, we will never see escalation to that point, since most people seem too hardwired to even dare thinking of such things.
