====Double Trigger====
Not to be confused with a second trigger, a double trigger (also called a 1.5 trigger by Wildbow<ref>Second triggers aren't straight upgrades. Look at Grue's - he gained some power in one respect (fighting capes), but his cloud got a lot heavier and denser, tending to coalesce lower to the ground. Were post-S9 Grue to do the bank robbery job, he wouldn't be able to cover their retreat as effectively. Less effective vs. non-capes.<br><br>Two steps forward, yes, but one step back, or a half-step back. In other cases it could easily be unlocking a function but be one-step-forward, one-step-back.<br><br>I like terming Taylor's second trigger as a 1.5th trigger. - [https://www.reddit.com/r/Parahumans/comments/7ysdpr/spoilers_for_worm_what_if_taylor/duiuja3/ Wildbow on Reddit]</ref>) is two trigger events that occur in quick succession. This may be the reason why certain parahumans are unable to experience a second trigger, since they've already had one.<ref name=":2" /> According to [[Number Man]], Taylor experienced a double trigger that was caused by the horror of manifesting her power. This implies that double triggering may be a type of recalibration on the shard's part, occurring when the initial trigger is too much for the host to handle.<ref>"But I'm afraid that power you're digging for is out of your reach, Weaver."<br><br>I looked at him.<br><br>"Or it's already in your reach. You can't have a second trigger because you already had one," he said.<br><br>I blinked.<br><br>"Given the signature, it's very possible you had two trigger events in quick succession. Not uncommon. The horror of manifesting your power, it prompted another trigger."<br><br>"No," I said. "There's got to be ''something''."<br><br>"If there is, a second trigger event isn't it," the Number Man said. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/03 Excerpt] from [[Venom 29.7]]</ref>
