    Rescue As I came up on the intersection, I glanced down the corridor off which the prison block hung. There was a single guard - a humanoid heavy cruiser. That was good; the animalistic monster-ships were too stupid to fool. I turned down the corridor towards her. She watched me as I walked...

    Taylor's Theme Music. (No Latin chorus; this must be the karaoke version.) (In case video is removed: Go DA DA by Yoko Kanno, from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. AKA, 'the only song to ever make kazoos sound ominous.)

    Neat power, but what's the plot?

    Huh. That would offer some interesting tensions and conflicts, actually: The Wards are supposed to be a safe way for child Capes to get training and have safe, supervised environment to use their powers in, which Tanya would absolutely love, and she'd have the Youth Guard supporting her in that...

    ... are you sure this is supposed to be a SFW idea~?

    About as long as it takes them to go on PHO and discover Tin_Mother isn't real.

    I've seen plenty of fics which had section, sometimes up to most of a chapter, happen in a dropped Coil timeline, sometimes without the reader knowing until he dropped it. It's a potentially powerful narrative device, though also a dangerous one that needs to be used cautiously and sparingly.

    Consider two copies of me: One in physical reality, the other in Coil's Shard's simulation. Assume they are aware that a simulation exists, but not, prima facie, which side of the simulation they are on. One of these copies says "[logical argument] Therefore, I am in physical reality."...

    The simulated realities are just as real to the simulated people inside them as this reality is to you and me. Saying I don't have to worry about being in a Shard-sim is the same as saying that simulated-me doesn't have to worry about being in a Shard-sim, which is, by its very premise, false...

    I disagree with you on two levels about this: On a philosophical level, I'd argue that a perfect copy of you is you. If someone took a complete, neuron-for-neuron scan of my brain and plugged it into a neuron-simulator, the resulting copy of me would not only think it was me, it would have just...

    Wait, was that the one where the main character was a thief and conman who'd had a really religious upbringing and had the names and stories of every Catholic saint memorized and had a preternatural ability to use them to come up with fake identities on the fly? I think I saw, like, one episode...

    Have you read the story of Mazel the Wolfdog?

    So, the fundamental problem I see here is that if you insert Taylor Hebert into your story, readers will expect her to go a-Skittering through the rest of your plot. Even if you don't give her any powers, people will expect her to be the Determinator main character whom dominates and pushes...

    Right, I got that, but that's exactly what I'm talking about when I say it would require a careful hand. Make it too hard for her to develop these combos, and she's useless. Too easy, and she's OP. You've given her incredible versatility and no hard limits, so the only constraint on her power is...

    I like it, but unless this is supposed to a power romp where Taylor stomps people we love to hate, it would require a very careful hand to keep her actually challenged.

    It's been a couple years since I read it, so I don't recall. She certainly had some sort of Thinker rating, because I recall it was a major plot point that there wasn't really anything that could seriously threaten her physically, even by surprise.
