Editing Broken Trigger (section)

===Trigger Visions===
The visions from broken triggers are often disjointed and come in waves. Some will replay the last memories of Zion, while others are so quick that no one sees anything. When near a broken trigger, [[Rachel Lindt]] appeared to see Zion's memories of the mockeries of [[Eden]]<ref name="e.4 1">''Faces.  Mockeries.  Variations on a theme.  Reaching hands, supplicating.''<br><br>-The image was brief, but acutely familiar.  Rachel felt mentally disoriented in the same way she might be physically disoriented if she stepped forward and found the ground wasn’t there.  Others in the area had staggered.  Miss Militia had dropped the hose for the foam gun.<br><br>[...]<br><br>The cape who’d shot him hurried to run-<br><br>''A moment of uncertainty.  The population of this world wasn’t reacting any further.  He attacked, they moved.  Again and again, they created the images.  They weren’t afraid, and he was.''<br><br>-but stumbled as the mental image shook him.  He managed to get his footing, but the ooze moved faster with each passing second, and the delay had cost him.  It slopped around his ankles on its way past him. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/11/12/teneral-e-4/ Excerpts] from [[Teneral e.4]]</ref>, or of killing [[Eidolon]]<ref name="e.4 2">The visions, they’d been broken up, too recent.  She wasn’t forgetting them.  The power, too… he’d been strong.<br><br>He’d been-<br><br>''A man in a white hood and cape stood there, the tension in his body swiftly stopping.  He had no expression, only a green and blue glow beneath his hood, but his body language was clear.  Shock, defeat.<br><br>A flash of golden light wiped him out of existence.''<br><br>-too strong. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/11/12/teneral-e-4/ Excerpt] from [[Teneral e.4]]</ref>. At another broken trigger incident, [[Victoria Dallon]] saw similar visions of either these mockeries or Eden herself.<ref>The fragment of a trigger vision hit me.  The latest wave.<br><br>I saw only a flash of faces, and in seeing those faces, I saw the phantom self that clung to me.  The impression lingered for only a moment before I realized the faces didn’t resemble mine. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2017/12/19/flare-2-4/ Excerpt] from [[Flare 2.4]]</ref> Unlike typical trigger visions, those who saw visions from broken triggers were able to remember what they saw.<ref name="e.4 2" />

At least one victim of a broken trigger seemed to have gained awareness of the nature of shards, sensing the presence of the shard and expressing concerns about being incorporated into the shard's memory.<ref>“I can feel it,” the man said.  He wasn’t paying much attention to Rocketround.  “All the way down to this vast well, partially filled with potential energy.  Like I’m on the lip of a volcano and it’s an impossibly long fall with only magma at the bottom.  I don’t know if I’m better off throwing myself down into that or leaving it alone.”<br><br>“Leave it alone,” I said, my voice joining more than one other person’s.<br><br>“What if my thoughts and brain get made into a part of that?  One piece in that thing’s construction.  What if it makes me immortal, forever a part of this thing?  A recording of me in there, how I think, how I do things.”<br><br>“We’ve studied parahumans, powers and power sources a lot,” Roadblock said.  “We’re pretty sure that’s not a thing.”<br><br>“Yeah,” the guy in the clearing’s center said.  “But…”<br><br>He trailed off.<br><br>“It’s not a thing,” Rocketround’s voice joined Roadblock’s.<br><br>“But I’m standing closer to it than you are,” the man said.  “And from where I stand, I feel like it might be.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2017/12/19/flare-2-4/ Excerpt] from [[Flare 2.4]]</ref>
