I think all the R&D is done on the Taylia side of things. Riley, Emma, Trevor and Rey all work relatively close together, exchanging data, tinkering on joint projects and all that.
Don't forget she opened a door by typing a code into a keypad that was secretly a fingerprint scanner that didn't have a code to open the door....
Ain't no bullshit like Contessa's Bullshit.
I assumed she waited to move on them until they had all the info.
That's pretty easy, too. What's a better psychological gut-punch? Getting ambushed while you're out and about, or having someone come into your stronghold, casually disregard your defensive measures, and then beat the shit out of you?
Double caught.
The fight at the beginning is a bit difficult to follow, mostly from the lack of screen time most of these people have had, but that's a you-ism.
Trollnado. That's what she is.
I do not think it's necessary. Black cowls and grey cowls are likely the most powerful parahumans they could find to bear witness.
Ain't that the truth. She gets all the best lines.
Victoria goes after someone for crimethink.
Rey
Giggity.
'that had' or perhaps 'that I knew had'
Huh. I never caught on that that was a typo. I just thought it was used interchangeably.
This reads awkwardly. Perhaps "take a couple of hits directly" or "take a couple of direct hits"?
The question "what is the most infuriating possible way to phrase this?" was at the forefront of your mind, wasn't it?
Oh shit. Oh shihihiHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Yes but they can't use the originals of that super secret army of thousands of Case 53s in the basement, being as it's super secret. It occurs that they wouldn't in the name of controlling variables in an experiment, but now that they've got their proof they can introduce it in round two with a plausible cover story. They could also add in samples from all of the Protectorate and other groups that don't have appropriate clearance/would need to be on patrol/otherwise couldn't attend (which could be part of the above cover story).
Actually no, I'm not joking.
Subtlety, your name is not Victoria.
Alexandria has been 16 for a long time.
"Path to taking out Saint? ... Hmm, whilst shopping? That's a little too easy. Path to taking out Saint whilst he's got access to his equipment? ... Nope, not good enough... Path to taking out Saint whilst somehow bypassing any security devices he has without letting him know how I'm doing it? Oooh, this one looks suitably bullshit enough!"
I thought they already knew?
Vicky may not be aware of that. It's a bit hard to keep track of which bullshit thinker knows what about which bullshit thinker in which bullshit organization sometimes.
I'm torn between wanting to agree with you, because this would be great to see like a trainwreck, and disagreeing with you because part of me still holds out that no one could be that god damned stupid.
Specifically, she's going to tell them that Becky saw Lisa stumble and her immediate reaction was "aww, I wanted to be there to catch her when she falls".

"Waah!" There was a thump, along with the startled cry, as they hit the ground.
Thank you. Thank you so much for having a character point this out.
On the front lines, someone with broken combat thinker powers, someone who was virtually indestructible and had broken combat thinker powers, someone who was virtually indestructible and had broken combat thinker instincts, and whatever the fuck we were calling what Zack did. Crazy bastard.
"No Taylor, you can't have one." CrushingDispairDisapointment. "... Look, I'll talk to Riley about it, but I don't think it's a good idea to copy endbringer monsters." AnnoyanceDesireCute. "Stop looking at it like that!"
Maybe the disposable minion isn't the best person to be saying this
