[02:58] <NuScorpii> would the S9 go to endbringer fights?
[02:58] <@Halt> that's cool Luolang
01[02:58] <Luolang> I think so
[02:58] <@Halt> nice parallel with King
01[02:58] <Luolang> Also QA
01[02:58] <Luolang> though he doesn't quite know that
[02:58] <NuScorpii> i'm not sure they would want to
01[02:58] <Luolang> so it works on multiple dimensions
01[02:59] <Luolang> No?
[02:59] <NuScorpii> no
01[02:59] <Luolang> Why not?
[02:59] <NuScorpii> endbringer fights are useless really
[02:59] <NuScorpii> it doesn't matter who you have
[02:59] <NuScorpii> at best they'd lose someone
[02:59] <NuScorpii> and it'd not really achieve anything
[02:59] <@Halt> well crawler should definitely go at least
01[02:59] <Luolang> Well, the Triumvirate always showed
[02:59] <@Halt> more adaptation
[02:59] <NuScorpii> it's different with them
01[02:59] <Luolang> And I think it would be odd for Khepri not to be there
[02:59] <NuScorpii> they were the public face of the protectorate and PRT
[03:00] <NuScorpii> khepri is like the spymaster
01[03:00] <Luolang> Right, but Khepri is part of /the/ Protectorate here, still, no?
[03:00] <@Halt> the S9 is the dagger in the night
[03:00] <NuScorpii> everyone knows her, but she's sorta like the oddball
[03:00] <NuScorpii> since Hero is alive
01[03:00] <Luolang> right
[03:00] <NuScorpii> Hero, Eidolon and Legend would go, i think
01[03:00] <Luolang> Couldn't she be used for support?
[03:00] <NuScorpii> but Khepri probably wouldn't
[03:00] <NuScorpii> she could. i just think she wouldn't really bother
01[03:00] <Luolang> Like her power would probably be useful for coordination
[03:00] <@Halt> I disagree NuScorpii
01[03:00] <Luolang> hmm
[03:00] <NuScorpii> and her power is really good for an eventual scion fight
[03:01] <@Halt> she's still a founding member
[03:01] <NuScorpii> so I'd think contessa would want her alive
[03:01] <@Halt> that's a morale problem
[03:01] <NuScorpii> unlike alexandria
01[03:01] <Luolang> I think it would be a public issue partly
01[03:01] <Luolang> and morale yeah
[03:01] <NuScorpii> she doesn't have immortality
01[03:01] <Luolang> She keeps Manton around her often?
[03:01] <@Halt> She doesn't have to be in danger directly
[03:01] <@Halt> we upped her range
01[03:01] <Luolang> Her range is in the blocks
01[03:01] <Luolang> but much lower capacity
[03:01] <NuScorpii> yes, but endbringers are endbringers
01[03:01] <Luolang> 9 other humans besides herself
[03:01] <NuScorpii> she's the most vulnerable cape really
[03:02] <NuScorpii> since she has no powers to protect herself directly
[03:02] <NuScorpii> indirectly yes
[03:02] <NuScorpii> but not directly
01[03:02] <Luolang> hmm
[03:02] <@Halt> that's true
[03:02] <NuScorpii> unlike any of the other triumvirate members
[03:02] <@Halt> she'd be a target for Leviathan esp
[03:02] <NuScorpii> so i don't think cauldron would want to risk her
01[03:02] <Luolang> I'm not sure how they'd sell that to the rest of the Protectorate or w/e
[03:02] <NuScorpii> in a way she's kind of this world's legend, except far more vulnerable
01[03:02] <Luolang> But, does that logic work against deploying her elsewhere also?
[03:03] <@Halt> no
01[03:03] <Luolang> or just EB fights specifically
[03:03] <NuScorpii> not really, endbringers are endbringers
[03:03] <NuScorpii> there's no winning against them
[03:03] <@Halt> just EB
[03:03] <NuScorpii> nobody every has
[03:03] <NuScorpii> ever*
01[03:03] <Luolang> Alright
[03:03] <@Halt> EB can wreck all the heroes in the blink of an eye
01[03:03] <Luolang> But, how would that work from other people's perspectives?
[03:03] <@Halt> there's no way to defend
[03:03] <@Halt> not really
01[03:03] <Luolang> As far as the other heroes
01[03:03] <Luolang> or the public is concerned?
01[03:03] <Luolang> As far as why the S9 never show to EB fights
[03:04] <NuScorpii> it would be a point of contention, but they would be simultaneously scared/understanding
[03:04] <NuScorpii> i mean, she handles all the other problems
01[03:04] <Luolang> Scared?
01[03:04] <Luolang> Of crossing her?
[03:04] <NuScorpii> yes
[03:04] <NuScorpii> she has a scary power
[03:04] <NuScorpii> very scary power
01[03:04] <Luolang> We were saying that most people don't know her power
[03:04] <NuScorpii> they don't need to know it
[03:04] <NuScorpii> they know the results of her actions, don't they
01[03:04] <Luolang> right
[03:05] <@Halt> their imagination will make it even scarier
[03:05] <NuScorpii> she is the cape-wrecker
[03:05] <@Halt> we fear the unknwon
[03:05] <NuScorpii> you just don't fight her
[03:05] <@Halt> they would conclude she has a power super effective against capes, but is useless against EBs prolly
[03:05] <NuScorpii> people will generally find their own reason for why she doesn't fight endbringers
[03:05] <@Halt> that's why most masters don't fight EBs
[03:05] <NuScorpii> some will be against it and some for
[03:05] <NuScorpii> mhm
01[03:06] <Luolang> Yeah, I guess that works
[03:06] <@Halt> yeah basically just PHO explain it
01[03:06] <Luolang> It'd add to her mystery and w/e
