Personally I think she should have been even so and quite a few other people feel the same, but Director Piggot was over-ruled on that decision. I know, she said softly. Fuck, she said in a small voice. It worked, more or less, and she slowly began to get over the death of her mother. The insect-woman sighed faintly, pausing her story for a few seconds. Youre certain it was her? she asked quietly. You will be proof from the tapestry of fate that is laid over all of creation. We have too much to lose right now. If I had to guess, maybe 10k or 20k words. I turned off most of my emotions a long time ago, they just caused problems. There was nothing left except for a few fragments of bone. After a moment she chuckled a little but said nothing else. The fire spread much too quickly and burned far too hot to be accidental but there is no sign of normal accelerants. She turned her head towards him, making him stare again, a little shocked and unnerved, although he wouldn't have admitted it to anyone. Tweaked a lot, of course, but it paralyzes most of the voluntary muscles without causing any deeper issues. Checking the time he winced. It's all over one sleeve of my costume as well. She looked over at the offending item of clothing which was draped over the back of a chair where she'd dropped it. My normal mental speed is so much faster that it can get pretty boring waiting for something to happen. Has a bit of power wank, but most of the conflict so far is people not having figured out Taylors stronger than they are. Probably around ten chapters, varying lengths. I want there to be an actual plot, setting and conflict. Im everywhere. It was only the fact that some bone marrow survived more or less intact that let me run a DNA test at all. He stopped speaking for a few seconds, apparently considering something, then slowly went on, Director, the one thing I can guarantee is that the Hebert girl didnt lock herself in there. Work Search: misread your question. Lacey and Kurt? Im running an emotional overlay right now for human interaction otherwise Id probably sound like a psychopath or a robot, but Im neither. She knew she was going to die and her new powers tried to save her. Im probably saner than almost anyone now. Are you going to go after Sophia? he added after some thought, tensing a little just to be on the safe side. Watching my father die in extreme slow motion made it worse, especially as there wasnt a damn thing I could do about it. Her voice changed, becoming cold and flat. left kudos on this work! 'Nearly a week since my life ended.' Ive found something a bit weird and I wanted to run it past you before I told anyone else, Dragon said from the monitor, the camera mounted on top whining very faintly as it repositioned itself under her control to look at what he was doing. Now come with me, the Director wants a word. Staring in shock, she put down the tablet shed been reading and stood. Now you see me She was visible again. The original range was maybe between a thousand and two thousand feet depending on various conditions. She was murdered, technically by a seventeen-year-old Korean ganger, but he was helped by three fifteen year old girls with no ethical sense. The amount of sensory information was overwhelming for the first couple of minutes. The neural processing backing the sensory system up was unbelievably complex compared to a human visual cortex. If you have enough examples to compare and enough background data you can start to make sense of the principles behind it. Something that looked a little like weirdly modified muscle was wrapped around a lot of the torso, strands of it leading down all four arms to the claws. What happened to you? Overall it didn't resemble normal power armor nearly as much as it did a giant, human sized insect exoskeleton, with the most amazing paint job hed ever seen. It was a second trigger, but something went wrong. Youre shitting me, she breathed faintly. Then A little more than a year later, the girl went off to camp, and when she came back everything had changed. Under the new illumination she could see the wasp was a little smaller than a normal yellowjacket and completely matte black in color. In her case, it was the "vision" that followed. Hmm. No doubt at all. But thank you for explaining all that, as terrifying as it is. Youre welcome, she replied. I eventually realized what had happened to me, and I think I more or less went insane for a while. Yes. Finally, he said, Sorry, I have to ask. It started out as a yellowjacket but I shrank it to make it less obvious and to raise the pitch of the wings enough that it wasnt very audible, and changed the color so it doesnt stand out. You have to be one of those. Turning her head to face him, she cocked it to one side. Resolving to exercise more if she survived the next few hours, she pelted down the narrow alleyway hearing the several sets of footsteps behind her hesitate, then follow where shed turned off the main road. Armsmaster nodded once more, more slowly. She wasn't thinking very clearly but she did try. There was silence for a moment from both of them. The next part was worse. Way too much work. Shaking a little as he wondered frantically how much of that had been a joke, he watched as she looked slowly around. She snapped her head around to gape at him. Then sighed sadly. It was pretty dark so it seemed possible. The brunette laughed a little nervously. Let me finish this and I'll tell you the story, OK? she suggested. She hoped. Hello, Tattletale, the thing said in a womans voice, a note of satisfaction in it. Isn't it a beautiful day? I forced a smile and moved on. The Director looked extremely angry and also nearly as scared as Assault did. Theres one other thing that Ive been wondering about, but I dont have any proof yet. Fingerprints and surface DNA are impossible to retrieve as a result, so all we can do is interview possible witnesses. A working knowledge of 'Worm' is required. I dont know how it works, but the evidence would suggest that the neural interconnects must run at least at the speed of light which would give an enormous speed increase over normal biological brains. Very little of my consciousness is in here, she tapped her head again, Im running this body like a somewhat more complicated version of one of those. She waved at the wasps flying in intricate patterns. Believe me, an insect controller could easily be your worst nightmare if she was pissed at you. Before I settled on the story that ballooned hopelessly out of control into Taylor Varga I had a number of ideas for Worm stories, three of which I initially wrote one or more chapters of. Yes, thanks. This girl grew up, as they tend to, and she and her friend did everything together. 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. OK, we understand you find it fascinating. I know she claimed not to be one, but the ability to understand Tinker-tech to any level rates at least a 3 to 4 rating. Dutifully Dragon added the classification. Btw, it doesn't have to be specifically about Taylor, but any character. How much more? he asked slowly. Im not a threat to you, Amelia, the voice added, making her jerk in shock. Hello, Assault, the figure suddenly said, the voice female and clear. Her powers were basically concentrating on, and revolved around, arthropods and the control of them. There will be variation in how champions/runes/abilities interact with Taylor.). Unluckily, her power isn't the subtlest thing alive, and the Wards are chasing her soon after. Overpowered much? Like I said, in my opinion shes a better person than you are. He had people to fill in. Something horrible that leaked out of a dumpster, she said, shrugging a bit then resuming scrubbing. But I suspect it wouldn't have worked out like that for various reasons. The Director is not a bad woman at heart but shes a bit too inflexible for my liking, she replied, and her experiences at Ellisberg left her extremely biased against parahumans. She is imbued with a multitude of powers, with which she is to complete a single mission: bring ruin in the Horned Rat's name, or face his wrath. Not a good person, that girl. Hive shook her head after a moment. I was loving this, and then the latest chapter with a fascinating Crystal who I am loving seeing the world from her perspective. One day, her mother didn't come home. It looks like the word she, with part of another letter at the end. It was written in blood based on the chemical analysis, Armsmaster replied. I can control them right down to the DNA, you see, not just the behavior. A faint clicking noise echoed around the room every few seconds.

What muggers? Her face was going that peculiar shade of red that Amy knew from long experience meant she was going to do something stupid without thinking it through. Depending on the range and whether the insect senses could be used. Thats more than a little worrying. His head came up. It was basically some form of insect at heart, but hugely and expertly modified with clear intent to form what she saw. No doubt readers could pick out points of similarity if they cared to. Unfortunately, we have no proof of the involvement of any specific person yet. Have you talked to Shadow Stalker yet? the Director queried. Deciding it was probably because everyone knew where New Wave lived she dismissed the thought and enjoyed the flight, which was weirdly different from what her sister did. Suddenly it stopped and he slowly relaxed. It was very impressive and rather unnerving. Theyre not going to do anything now. Cautious and very suspicious, Amy didnt move. Both of them liked reading about Capes, and they used to wonder if they'd be heroes when they got older. She fell silent for a moment. Please consider turning it on! Based on some charred residue there were also some very unpleasant waste products in there with her. It was obvious from her voice that the lack of family had an unpleasant story behind it. She had parents who were good and loving people, despite not being well off, and a friend. He looked around, then leaned against another similar unit. No cases at all. Its spread by mosquitoes, isnt it? Yes, the Anopheles genus. He thought for a moment. Neither did the utterly inhuman face that looked curiously down at her a few seconds later. That's five point four times ten to the twentieth power for human neurons. It was, at first, she said with a sigh. I learned to live with it in the end but it wasn't easy. Looks like the plot is getting rolling with Lisa and the Crystals, too. 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. But she knows one hell of a lot about DNA and insect manipulation, I can tell you that much for sure. He looked up from the screen and around the room. Usefully, it worked surprisingly well, most of the grime coming off instantly and the remainder being loosened enough that she could now wash it away. 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. A cape, I suppose, but I've never heard the name before. She's new, I think, Amy replied, frowning a little. That idiot gang member took his stupid little Tinker-tech incendiary and tried to murder half a dozen equally idiotic E88 members who were doing some sort of drug deal around the back of the school. (Un)Fortunately, Taylor would rather live on the streets than go with them. The smaller man was being his usual self and their long-suffering leader was beginning to get annoyed about it. Groaning in terror she looked around again, seeing nothing else that could help her. So on balance, yes, its a good thing, although the cause might not be. Youre thinking its parahuman involvement, then. It wasnt a question. Amy stared in amazement. "I never try to do anything, I swear i never try to hurt anyone,I swear, I swear that i'm a good kid, Yeah, Taylor that's a good one. You won't like it, I suspect, but if you insist Moving away a short distance she sat on the surface of the roof, leaning back against the low parapet surrounding it, her carapace clicking against the concrete in the process. Ill call you soon. Hive stepped back a few feet, watching as Amy nodded, then turned to walk up the path to the house. Ive never liked Amelia much. All right. Theogony by Darth Marrs on Fanficion.net is pretty much this Y'know, I think we have a vocabulary problem. A Rogue or Independent, then. No. Assault stared at her. That said, without specifically looking for it hed probably never notice. Whether it was a vicious prank that went too far or a deliberate attempt at murder I have no idea so far. No one else was there. Somewhere. Taylor often read fairytales when she was a child, and was endlessly amused by the talking animals, trolls, and fairies. You know Im tapped into it in lots of places and I have a hell of a lot of programs monitoring all sorts of data? He nodded, well aware of how closely connected to the global networks she was. Run. Sorry. There was a pause, then the first one replied, Never mind, must have imagined it. Amy looked up towards the position the sound come from before it stopped and thought she saw something move against the stars. Its only me now. I'm sorry, he stated, meaning it. Somehow rolling to her feet she kept going, all the while hoping someone would help her. The figure disappeared from view as he bounded up the side of the next building over, redirecting his kinetic energy to keep him moving steadily upwards, bouncing between the two buildings. Six billion or so humans on the planet, times ninety billion per human, gives a total neural capacity for the species of about five hundred and forty quintillion neurons. OK, he said slowly, wondering where she was going with this. She has a vicious streak that we dont seem to have managed to do much about so far. They were both silent for a while, thinking about the incident. Alec laughed slightly while Brian went quiet, sighing a little after a second or two. Although, weirdly enough, there was something about her that seemed.. Amy stared, shocked and puzzled. He stared, horrified. Holy shit, she mumbled in shock. Taylor just laughed.
