Tattletale wakes with the worst thinker headache ever, and rolls over to try to find the remote and turn down the TV.
I assume that the Zion avatar has all sorts of exotic shielding. Sure, it can't just tell the ring not to scan it, but that's not its only defence.
As I understand it, Worm does not have true precognatives. Rather, their shards model the future and give them the results. Since the shards don't know how to model a power ring and since Lord Protector also has defences against interdimensional scanning, they generally won't be able to cope. They'll either ignore him, best guess based on available date or throw a fit.
Yes, I saw, but I'm at work at the moment. I'll take a look this evening.
Apparently, there's a mix of both time travel to directly look at the future and simulations, depending on the parahuman in question.
Part of the problem is that the author, Wildbow, has made a number of pronouncements, in various places, and they don't seem to be consistent with either each other or the text of the story. In consequence, canon tends to be assumed to be the text of the story (which sometimes seems to contradict itself; more than Taylor Hebert being an 'unreliable narrator').
)
Best guess based on modeling the available data is how Contessa gets around Path to Victory blindspots, so that seems likely.
... That's not how tattletales power works.
You're on to a loser, here... We don't know what's going on behind the scenes, at the shard level. Is there a shard that does telepathy, that her shard can tap for info, if pushed? (Not normally used as it used hideous amounts of power?) We really don't know.
How her power works is actually explained quite clearly. She gathers information and plugs that data into her shard-entity-brain and it analyses it and pulls likely conclusions.
[ALERT]
I'd be inclined to agree with you. TT/Lisa is a character who appears a lot, and her powers seem reasonably consistent. But, we still don't know, for sure, what's going on at the shard end. Evidence suggests The Warrior has basically given up, because of the death of The Thinker. So, the (possibly existing) shard-net is just drifting along.
Yes but it still has limits, it can't magic info out of nothing. It can provide answers based on existing info and every little detail about the environment which goes unnoticed by people but it still has limits.
It definitely does tap into other shards.
We don't know if entities can seize control of shards that are disconnected from themselves.
Uuugh.
Nope, Scion locks off his personal dimension to all forms of dimensional travel.
The moment Paul tries to throw an Endbringer into space is the moment it stops messing around and pops his head like a zit.
Most Shard abilities of that vein would bypass any ring generated barrier due to messing with space.
They have time looping abilities, not time travel.
Technically there is a telepathy Shard, the Entities just only rarely use it because it's a massive waste of power and has to be separately calibrated for each being it's used on.
No, the Warrior Entity only locked off the forms of dimension travel it knew about. Possibly by putting limitations into the shards being distributed, but that much is speculation on my part. External dimensional threats, especially those based on means that the Entities hadn't previously encountered, are still viable. Such is the nature of an Outside Context Problem.
Behemoth died in canon, and he didn't pull out all the stops in his final moments. The retaliation came in the form of new Endbringers that emulated the means of his execution: temporal powers for Khonsu, and coordinated parahuman abilities for Tohu.
The author has already stated that Lord Protector has defenses against interdimensional shenanigans exactly like what you're referring to here.

Holes in time, wells, echoes, slowed and accelerated time. Eidolon's second in command in Houston prior to Echidna, Dispatch, had the primary power to create a bubble of accelerated time around himself.Interlude 28 said:

The reason that they don't use telepathy is that the only data Entities would get from it is data that they passively gather without it. It's a waste of resources due to redundancy, not difficulty.Wildbow on SB said:
There's a reason I'm always reading stories and never posting them.
No, it locked off all, there was a generated barrier.
Behemoth in canon died to Scion, and it actually did pull out all the stops in it's final moment, Scion just no sold it.
No Zoat has not.
None of that is time travel...
