Editing Taylor Hebert (section)

===Range===
Taylor has a limited range around, above and below her, of about a tenth of a mile,<ref>I was steamed and I could hardly focus on the lecture, as my power crackled and tugged at my attention from the periphery of my consciousness, making me acutely aware of every bug within a tenth of a mile.  I could tune it out, but the extra concentration that took, coupled with the anger I felt towards Madison and Mr. Gladly, was distracting enough that I couldn’t focus on the lecture. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/07/12 Excerpt] from [[Insinuation 2.3]]</ref> and later about 3-4 city blocks with a block being 300 feet.<ref>'''[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/03/21/chrysalis-20-1/#comment-13946 Wildbow]''': She’s described her range as 3-4 city blocks. A city block is about 300 feet long.</ref> During periods of stress that are close to the feelings of frustation and hopelessness she felt during her Trigger Event, it would increase, once reaching over six and a half blocks,<ref name="20.5">It wasn’t long before I was close enough.  My range was longer, now.  Odd.  It was supposed to get longer when I felt more trapped, but ‘trapped’ wasn’t the word I would have chosen.<br><br>My bugs rose at my command, tracing over the area.  It wasn’t so unusual, that there were flies, bumblebees and ants about: the heat of summer, the humidity, the imbalanced ecosystem…  Nobody paid them any heed.<br><br>A small butterfly found its way into the house.  It traced over the glossy smooth armor and helmets of PRT officers, touched the badge on the chest of a police officer.<br><br>It touched my dad’s shoulder, moved down his bare arm to his hand.  He was sitting at the kitchen table, his head in his hands.<br>[...]<br>“Taylor,” he said.<br><br>Six and a half city blocks away, I replied, “I’m sorry.”<br><br>The butterfly and I took off at the same time. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/04/02 Excerpt] from [[Chrysalis 20.5]]</ref> which also came with her bugs responding faster to her commands<ref>[[Infestation 11.4]]</ref> and getting better at interpreting their senses, such as when she could clearly see and hear everyone in a room and beyond in detail with just a single butterfly.<ref name="20.5"/> However, these power boosts are not permanent and will fade as her feelings return to normal, and with it her Range.<ref>'''Wildbow''': The range increases aren’t permanent. - [http://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/05/26/infestation-11-3/#comment-2233 Comment by Wildbow] on [[Infestation 11.3]]</ref> Nevertheless, her base range did slowly increase over time as she won more conflicts;<ref>Much like Taylor's achievements went hand in hand with a growth in her capability and flexibility with her power (on a blunt level like the waxing & waning max range, in terms of being able to see/speak with them, and on an abstract level, like how the shard is helping more in the background or when she's unconscious), - [https://redd.it/5ngyvn Comment by Wildbow] on Armsmaster's growth.</ref> starting at two blocks radius early on,<ref name="1.2e1">I wasn’t just grabbing every creepy crawly in a two block radius, though.  I was being selective, and I was gathering quite a few.<br><br>It would take time for all of them to arrive.  Bugs could move faster than you thought when they moved with purpose in a straight line, but even so, two blocks was a lot of ground for something so small to cover. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/06/14/gestation-1-2/ Excerpt] from [[Gestation 1.2]]</ref><ref name="5.5e1">I generally measured things in city blocks – I’ve never been good at eyeballing distance – and I would say my range usually sat at around two blocks. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/11/19/hive-5-5/ Excerpt] from [[Hive 5.5]]</ref> up to three blocks radius when she began to [[Infestation 11.2|claim territory]],<ref name="11.2e1">Generally speaking, there were two routes I tended to go. The first put me in one spot, drawing my bugs from the area. A three block radius made for a good number of bugs.<br>[...]<br>Today wasn’t one of the days my power was working double time, with double the range. I’d wanted to make sure to reach as many as I could, so I’d started drawing the arrows and words with the bugs early. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/05/22/infestation-11-2/ Excerpt] from [[Infestation 11.2]]</ref> and up to a base range of five blocks by [[Skitter's Surrender|the time she surrendered to the PRT]], a fact supported by her in-depth Cast profile describing her range as being nine to fifteen hundred feet around her around her time as a warlord,<ref name="Cast2"/>which would extend if she felt 'trapped'.<ref>My power's range was about five blocks.  It should have been larger, going by the running theory that feeling ‘trapped' extended my reach, but I was in here by my own device.  I couldn't necessarily force it. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/05/04 Excerpt] from [[Cell 22.1]]</ref> However, sometimes she would get increases in stressful situations even though she didn't feel 'trapped';<ref name="20.5"/> she later states that her power gets stronger when she feels either 'trapped', 'despair', or 'betrayed'.<ref>“Yeah,” I said.  “I triggered while I was in a locker.  I’ve been thinking, I get just a little stronger when I feel trapped, or when I despair, or when I feel betrayed.  My range extends.” - [[Drone 23.1]]</ref> By the time she fights [[Behemoth]] as part of the [[Chicago]] Wards in India, she mentions that her range is now a radius of one thousand, eight hundred feet,<ref>[[Crushed 24.1]]</ref> which is roughly six blocks and makes her full range at the time to be double that at a three thousand, six hundred feet diameter.

She had a temporary range boost while in the area-of-effect of [[The Yàngbǎn]]'s power-magnifying field, increasing her range by several blocks and growing, which she used to contact [[Phir Sē]] in his basement. The exact extent of her range increase under the field is not mentioned.<ref>[[Crushed 24.4]]</ref>
