Either way, Pantheon takes a hit, so...*shrugs*

Saw that one coming honestly. It was pretty obvious that Lisa was trying her damnest to get Taylor and Amelia to kick her out so that she could leave while still being the "victim" before Taylor Social Judo-ed her.The Chief Director sat forward a little. "I take it you haven't heard, then? Minerva has quit her position in Pantheon."
So,Lisa threw away Taylor's second chance in her face and walked away.it make sense her first instinct was to run away when her family life turned toxic when she found out they're were using her.I could imagine her running away from Taylor thinking that after all the terrible things said and done,she would think they just using her as well.
Likewise, even if she officially is no-longer employed by Pantheon, that doesn't mean she really left. 'Five groups' does not necessarily mean 'five unconnected groups' (and remember, that was is from Dinah, who didn't know that Taylor was going to kill herself ending Butcher, because she could see Taylor #2 in the future).Might be nothing but note the way that is phrased. It doesn't say 'Minerva has left Pantheon' it says she quit her position in Pantheon. She may still be a member and just no longer a leader, which would make sense considering a lot of Pantheon members wouldn't want to follow her orders anymore after this stunt and it would mollify the PRT. Removing some of the strain on Lisa would probably be good for her too.
I'm guessing that RCB has been very, very careful to stay away from anyone who can tell if someone's got powers just from looking. Also, from shaking Amy's hand.Has Chevalier never met Costa-Brown in person? If he has, why hasn't he noticed that she's a cape?

Well that one line ruined the chapter for me and was my last straw for the fic as a whole. Goodbye.A/N- I almost didn't put that last line in, for fear of people focusing too much on that and not enough on the rest of the chapter before it. We'll see how that turns out.
theThe woman was in remarkably good appearance for her age and he stress of her position.
I've been waiting for someone to point that out. Didn't think it was going to be RCB that did it, though."Both you and Victoria have Thinker powers and a long term interaction, if my information is correct."
This is why you shouldn't read TanaNari's author's notes.Well that one line ruined the chapter for me and was my last straw for the fic as a whole. Goodbye.

"No, this is-"The phone was answered on the first ring. "Director Costa-Brown's office, this is Patrick speaking. Please state your business?"
The Chief Director sat forward a little. "I take it you haven't heard, then? Minerva has quit her position in Pantheon."
That's terrible for several reasons.Pantheon will probably produce a Lisa-clone for her power and fiddle with the mind and memories to get a new person. Lisa doesn't think they're the originals, so there's no objection. They're just custom-crafting a host for the passenger to latch onto.
You think they have a backup from before the Butcher incident? Because it would likely take at least that.Decant a clone, call her Sarah, and ask her if she's okay with working with Pantheon. Inform Lisa that she's got a twin sister.
There are zero ethical problems with cloning someone without permission?Decant a clone, call her Sarah, and ask her if she's okay with working with Pantheon. Inform Lisa that she's got a twin sister.
Called it over two weeks ago! Well... except the kinkiness.
... Huh.The Chief Director sat forward a little. "I take it you haven't heard, then? Minerva has quit her position in Pantheon."
You told us no, Lisa. So we made a you who won't! She has all the rights you do, except for the right to refuse us! If she does, well, we'll give her the boot and keep trying until we get one we like!Hahahaha. Yeah, clone Lisa for her power. That'll go over well.
Man, using Lisa for her power, that's a really famliiar scenario.
Untrue. Their first actual conversation with one another was to use their interaction. Although Vicky did think he was hot... but she thought that about Anima's summon, so, yeah.Yeah, but Vicky and Chevvy were interested in one another before the interactions.
The last line of the chapter, or the author note? If the former, you don't even want to stick around long enough to hear Lisa's reasons? If the latter, well, that's just stupid. Either way, you won't be missed.Well that one line ruined the chapter for me and was my last straw for the fic as a whole. Goodbye.
Man. She'd have to shoot like twenty people, including herself, before that spree was done.Lisa you told us no, but we want you anyway. So we made a clone of you and uploaded Taylor into it. Now you're like real sisters, ain't that great?
Lisa why are you taking out your gun?
I could have sworn that Victoria had been working on him even before then.Untrue. Their first actual conversation with one another was to use their interaction.

The last line of the chapter, of course. You spent the entire previous chapter showing Taylor diplomancing Lisa away from her conflict ball (which, as I said a few days ago, shouldn't have existed in the first place) and then... immediately sent all that effort to waste? On top of the Crystal-shaped collateral damage? I can't accept that.The last line of the chapter, or the author note?

I've already expressed my opinions on the post-Tohu Tediumbringers many times, and that I only continued to read from interest in the slice-of-life and street-level stuff (and sheer inertia). Now one of the central premises of the fic is gone - the Taylor + Lisa + Amelia teamup - and I don't care anymore.This is what did if for you?
Not any of the many times that the Endbringers have fucked someone's face into oblivion, the time that nearly the entirety of Pantheon was brutally murdered, when Taylor and Amelia broke up, or the absurd number of other cliffhangers we've gotten.
This was the last straw? While I understand the euphemism, I'm trying to recall just how many times has TanaNari dropped something absurdly depressing or fucking infuriating into our laps and then turned it around just to watch the reaction?
See you in either two months when you forget why you were angry, or never I suppose.
Chevalier probably thinks he's met RCB in person, but he hasn't - remember that Alexandria used a body double in canon
Who said it went to waste? Oh, right. You. And no one else.
Actually, Lisa was never a central premise. An important one, yes, but never central. Riley has been far more important, and for longer. Besides, it's not like I'm doing this on a whim, as others have said before, this is pretty much the only proper direction for the story.
That Word of God answer... answered less than nothing... as is pretty standard for the ultimate in troll authors... there are no retcons here, because nothing in that contradicts anything in my story.Checked it out, and I wasn't the first to ask this: Word of God answer. I'll accept that Tananari has to retcon this out of existence for fic continuity, though.
"Is Chevalier aware of RCB being a parahuman?" "Chevalier is aware of some secrets. I won't say which ones, but he is aware of things. Important things. Maybe."That Word of God answer... answered less than nothing... as is pretty standard for the ultimate in troll authors... there are no retcons here, because nothing in that contradicts anything in my story.
They didn't have access to scans from actual Pantheon members, so they gave them all Browbeat's personality.Besides, it's not like Cauldron doesn't have their own Lisa clone running around, along with the rest of the shadow Pantheon...
