Editing Aisha Laborn (section)

Aisha triggered when she was out with her father, after being confronted by a group of armed men.<ref name="Cast2"/><ref name="I26 e1">But the entity can still see fallout effects.  There are parallels in memory storage.  Not many, but there may be glimmers where the subject is capable of perceiving the information stored in the shard as the connections are formed.<br><br>For good measure, the entity breaks up one shard cluster, tunes it, then codes the effect into each and every shard.  It studies the host species further, refines, attunes.<br><br>It takes time, but the entity forms a sufficient safeguard.  The host species will forget any significant details.<br><br>The broken shard is cast off, joining countless others.  It will bond to a host.  The entity looks forward, checking.<br><br>After the target planet has revolved thirty-three times around its star, this shard will connect to a host.<br><br>A male guards his offspring, a female, with his size and bulk.  A group of hostile bipeds cluster around them.  They call out, making unusual loud sounds, suggesting intoxication.  One of the hostile ones gestures, gripping its male parts, pulling them free of their coverings.  A sexual gesture follows, waving the organ left and right, thrusting it into the empty air.<br><br>Sounds of amusement, laced with hostility.<br><br>The male and his offspring retreat as far against the nearest construction as they are able.<br><br>The shard connects, attaching to the male.<br><br>No.  It is ineffective.  The female is clearly more distressed.<br><br>''Prey.''<br><br>There is a way to maximize exposure to conflict.<br><br>The entity taps into its understanding of the bipeds and how they operate, recognizes the signs of distress, the nuances such things can have.<br><br>It views the future again, with changes made in the code.<br><br>This time, the shard settles in the male, then immediately shifts to the more distressed female.<br><br>''Insinuation.''  The shard connects to the host’s neural network.<br><br>The bond is created.<br><br>The shard opens the connection as the stress peaks, and the host doubles over in pain, bewildered, stunned.  The shard then forms tendrils that contact each individual in the area.  It retains traces of the entity’s tampering, of the studies in psychology, awareness and memory, and is quick to adapt.  It finds a manner in which it can operate, then alters itself, solidifying into a particular state.  The remainder of the functions are discarded, the ones in the shard itself are rendered inert to conserve power, while the ones in the host fall away, are consumed by the shard.  The host’s neural network changes once more.<br><br>The female disappears from the awareness of the hostile ones that surround it.<br><br>The entity looks to the future, to see if this is sustainable, efficient. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/10/interlude-26/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 26]]</ref> She eventually revealed her new powers to her brother. She was immediately inducted into the Undersiders for everyone's collective good. Was unsurprised when Taylor revealed she was enamored with her brother while trying to get back on the team.

Played a large part in getting the Undersiders into [[Protectorate ENE Headquarters]] and helping to steal the data.

Would stay behind to spy on the [[truce]] meeting.

She would later take it upon herself to seek out the [[Slaughterhouse Nine]] and see if she could assassinate them<ref name="13.5 2">Everything went into a compact black handbag, along with her taser and knives.<br><br>Small things.  Nothing she couldn’t have bought in a well stocked convenience store, maybe.  But she would operate best if she was relaxed, and having some personal items made her feel better.<br><br>That only left the problem of finding them.<br><br>They’d attacked the Merchants, and observing her mom had given her the chance to find out where.  It was a starting point. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/08/02/interlude-13%C2%BD-donation-bonus/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 13.5 (Donation Bonus)]]</ref>, but failed, unconsciously influenced by one of their powers.<ref>A combination of what Jaki said ([[Imp]] gets nudged away by her shard, she gets a bad feeling as she prepares to attack, and if and when she does attack her attack is off-target, or she hesitates, creating a window), intuition on Jack's part (suspicion, a hyperawareness of odd details, the movement of air in the room, 'it's too quiet', etc., happening to move to another location just as Imp strikes out), and leverage of the broadcast... [[Crawler]] wakes to initial commotion, he uses his full senses with his shard happening to kick into full gear (a la Skitter and her varying range) and/or moves across room, forcing Imp to back up from Jack, [[Shatterbird]] lashes out in a blind attack that happens to connect.<br><br>On that last point, the Nine can be considered to be an [editing to add 'unconscious'] extension of Jack for all intents and purposes. To Imp, it's just a 'This feels like a bad idea, I'm going to do it anyway! Fuck, missed! Oh shit, ow! Well now I'm bleeding and, it's pretty damn serious. That must be why it felt like such a bad idea!'<br><br>[...]<br><br>Take note of Jack's discussion of keystones in his first appearance. He's getting help in identifying points to manipulate, and then those points are getting nudged further in the broadcast. Communication is a two-way street. - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/20250752/ Coments by Wildbow, archived on Spacebattles]</ref>
