Editing Rise of Khepri (section)

==Prelude==
Following the raid on [[Cauldron]]'s West African [[Cauldron Compound|base]], Taylor was given more information on how [[Trigger Event|second triggers]] worked and how powers changed and evolved. <ref name="DoctorMother">“We did. I can tell you about them, or I can answer your questions. What information do you desire, Weaver? What insights on the entity could win this for us?”<br><br>I swallowed.<br><br>“Second Triggers,” I said. -

This leads Taylor to consider the idea of removing restrictions that help regulate powers in her brain, in the hopes of gaining an advantage in the fight against [[Scion]]. She asks [[Bonesaw]] for help,<ref name="ShardSpeech">“Second triggers are about knocking down walls,” I said.  My eyes fell on Bonesaw.  “Removing restrictions the entity put in place.  If this part of the brain is a part that the entity shaped to help regulate powers on our end, then I need you to de-regulate.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/08/venom-29-9/ Excerpt] from [[Venom 29.9]]</ref> but [[Panacea]] decides to help instead, arguing she can do a cleaner job herself. <ref name="PanaceaArgument"> “I’m inexperienced, yeah,” Panacea said.  “But even inexperienced, I think I can do a cleaner job than you.  And Tattletale’s less likely to catch on if you aren’t sawing Taylor’s skull open. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/08/venom-29-9/ Excerpt] from [[Venom 29.9]]</ref>

As a result of the procedure the range of Taylor's powers drops to 16 feet,<ref name="Tattletale"> “Sixteen feet,” Tattletale said, her voice quiet.  “Fifteen point nine-eight feet, to be exact, but we can ballpark it.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/15/speck-30-1/ Excerpt] from [[Speck 30.1]]</ref> but she gains the ability to control [[parahumans]] within that range. She loses the ability to vocally communicate,<ref name="Marquis"> “Ah,” Marquis said.  “Shame.  A communication problem makes it harder to gauge how much we can trust her.” -[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/15/speck-30-1/ Excerpt] from [[Speck 30.1]]</ref> and as time goes on more and more of her personality becomes subsumed by her [[shard]].
