...She made dehydrated water?

Ohh, such an interesting ending there. Well, thanks for writing this, this really is a great fic, and bye for now.

Just wanted this out there, but my comment for chapter 16 is meant to be more of a knee jerk reaction. Not a complaint about the story. Im loving the story and cant wait for the next chapter.

And like that i now hate Toybox. I could not care less for the reasonings, i would see Networker dead and both VIs scrapped for such a betrayal.

As someone who has been stabbed in the back by trusted friends, im reasonably sure Taylor would feel the same.

This is pretty nice. I like it.

This is overall very good, will keep an eye on it for more content!
Hope to see more in the near future.

why does everyone know/assume Riptide is female when they are wearing gender-neutral armour and use a voice modulator?

Not to many the many
correction: Not to mention the many

"A hundred and fifty thousand dollars?!" I felt my jaw unhinge slightly at the amount, luckily my mask hid most of it.

"Minus Toybox's 5% cut, yes." Dodge nodded. "That works out at $14250

Ah yes, fourteen-thousand-two-hundred-and-fifty is indeed 95% of 150'000

Three small-time tinkers, three bullies and a vindictive detective...

Heh.

Oh boy. A smarter Taylor, a stronger power *and* Tinker bullshit? Earth Beta ain't ready for this.

May I ask for Missy (Vista) to be included in the harem as well? Her powers could possibly really mesh well with Taylors.

Oh my- that caught me off guard he really said n-

Interesting end to the chapter, is Networker, who seems to be the leader for the Toybox, seeing if Taylor is up to becoming his replacement? This is another of your better works so I hope you update it soonish.

That sounds like 2 full inches of armor. That’ll be very heavy
