page 1420 – No Smoking References Included
I think (hope) it doesn’t show in the finished page, but I reeeaaally limped into this one. I still don’t feel like I’m truly used to being back on the twice-a-week schedule, but it’s just as likely that I’m still struggling to cope with Spring ruthlessly asserting itself in these parts. Pollen really sucks, ya’ll.
BUT THAT DIDN’T STOP ME FROM GETTING A FRESH TWC VOTING INCENTIVE DONE! Yay me!
Surprisingly, if you take scale of potential destruction, you might actually be about to outmatch Stillez. Don’t get me wrong, Stillez is basically unstoppable, but she is also limited to where she can actually reach. This means that she’s between a Street and City Tier Threat, using Power-Scaling Terms. Tabitha, you, meanwhile, can almost certainly make something that can destroy a city, if not a planet, if someone gave you between five minutes and five hours to prepare the weapon.
In other words, even on a spaceship like this, you could be interpreted to match Stillez’s Destructive Potential.
Stilez was mentioned, by Ichabod, previously, to have destroyed Dyson spheres. I assume she destroyed a critical component of one of them causing some huge cascading chain reaction.
Which explains why entire Galactic Militaries are after her – they probably wouldn’t bother if she just destroyed a few cities, that’s just a rounding error to them.
There’s also the inherently biased metric by which Layla judges these things to consider: whatever’s in closer proximity to Trigger at any given moment, or doing anything even tangentially related to Trigger, is inherently a greater danger to be guarded against.
Stilez piercing the external layer of a Dyson Sphere by throwing something like a tank through it doesn’t mean that Stillez wouldn’t be considered a Street-Tier to a City-Tier Threat when using Power-Scaling Terms. Power Scaling is primarily determined by offensive capabilities, and Stillez just doesn’t have the range to surpass that. It’s possible that Stillez has a minor connection to what Power Scaler’s call “Toon Force”, but even that’s debatable (and only gives Stillez indestructibility & the ability to ignore physics). You stick her on a Planet, and Stillez’s devastation is limited to those in her immediate vicinity, while those in the next city are completely safe. Not so with Tabitha, should she get a reason to want to destroy the planet (aka, the planet’s Government harmed her Zombie Children, and it’s a planet populated primarily by soldiers).
Please note, I’m comparing maximum destructive potential, and I feel like Stillez hit her limit with destroying Dyson Spheres. Tabitha I don’t think has a maximum destructive potential threshold, unless it’s Avatar & other truly indestructible materials. And, even then, I can see Tabitha potentially inventing a way around that indestructibility.
