Editing Contessa (section)

===Questions===
To get the most out of her power she asks herself various questions at the start of each day,<ref name="Que">'''Torrieltar:''' How hard is it to trick Contessa into asking her Path to Victory the wrong question?<br><br>'''Wildbow:''' Theoretically possible/doable. But if you're doing it by any measure that's blatant, you're working against the vast, fast processing engine that is her shard. Given time, she pre-asks about deception, mind control, AoE and other obstacles her power wouldn't effectively fight against. - [https://www.reddit.com/r/whowouldwin/comments/5jmo6d/featured_character_contessa/dbnr64k/ Wildbow on Reddit]</ref> and various questions before a mission to ensure success.<ref>'''RazorSmile:'''It's not rocket surgery. A sufficiently wide and dense area-effect attack will either kill her, force her to leave or, if her power has that much range, keep her from showing up in the first place.<br><br>'''Wildbow:''' Unless she, before she headed out the door, posed herself the scenario:<br>Contessa: "What do I need to do to come back successful from this mission?"<br>(Psst. Don't walk into the sufficiently wide, sufficiently dense area-effect attack. Here's a workaround).<br>"Goodie." - [https://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?690769-Worm-thread-Gimel-Tinker-Taylor-Weaver-Worm&p=16869771#post16869771 Wildbow on RPG.net]</ref> This lets her keep to the path to defeat Zion and provides her with protection against masters and strangers.<ref>People began preparing to leave, gathering stuff together.<br><br>"No," I could overhear Contessa saying, "I ask myself several questions before I go anywhere, and one pertains to strangers. Stay behind."<br><br>Imp appeared next to her. She walked back to us with a very dejected appearance. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/17/extinction-27-2/ Excerpt] from [[Extinction 27.2]]</ref>

Her power also provides her with excellent information gathering abilities provided the right questions are asked.<ref name="II15.7 eExplain">"I can't defeat [Teacher], spare as many of your allies' lives as possible, and save the lives of people in the city. Not as I or my power understand circumstances, and my power understands everything outside of the blind spots that are Teacher, Valkyrie, the Simurgh, and two broken triggers that authorities aren't aware happened."<br>[...]<br>Imp groaned. "You're making me look awful here. I promised these guys one hundred percent victory."<br><br>"If you'd found me sooner, then I could have."<br><br>"How do you know all of this if you were in a coma?" Sveta asked. "The Simurgh, who's where, what Custodian is doing?"<br><br>"I'm finding it out as I explain it to you. I asked my power for the path to provide the explanation I need to give, that serves the purpose of filling me in on present circumstance. When you talk among yourselves, I'm asking my usual questions."<br><br>"Like how you can avoid being fucked over by a Stranger or Master in the next day or whatever," Imp said.<br><br>"Essentially." - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/07/27 Excerpt] from [[Dying 15.7]]</ref>
