Cover Art for Extra Mission #2, Chapter 15.1
I suppose I didnât actually talk about my own stance on prophecy, acceptance and that whole deal.
The thing about that is that as far as we know, Alec is right. This kind of thing depends a whole lot on how time works in the setting, and while Wormâs time mechanics are normally ideal for getting around prophecy (this being why precogs are considered unreliable), Dinahâs specific brand of precognition counteracts that, and this particular prophecy was given with 100% certainty. Meaning she saw this happening in every possible outcome. Unless time in Worm has more to it or Dinahâs power is somewhat less reliable than we thought, thereâs literally no way to avoid this, no matter how hard Taylor tries. Any timeline Taylor makes by trying is already factored into the prophecy, unless it involves something like time travel to create a timeline outside Dinahâs scope.
That doesnât mean I can blame her for wanting to try. Itâs admirable, and Taylor has less real reason to believe that Dinahâs power is reliable than we the readers have.
Meanwhile the Triumvirate and Cauldron have been trying to figure out not how to prevent the event, but how to run damage control and reduce the casualties. Thatâs also a very legitimate take on this, maybe moreso than Taylorâs, though the Triumvirate have even less reason to believe that this is objective cold hard fact.
And so itâs Rachelâs turn, unless weâve got a couple more paragraphs of Alec.
There was a long pause where nobody spoke.
âNice, Alec.â Brian said.
Pffft. :p
Alec chuckled. Â âWhat? Â Itâs true. Â That Dinah kid said it was. Â Donât pretend itâs not going to happen. Â Might as well live it up before everything goes to hell in a handbasket.â
You know, Iâm seriously very glad itâs this brand of nihilism. Itâs far less insufferable than the âwhy botherâ variety, and actually kind of lines up with my own philosophies, except mine have a somewhat more optimistic bent.
âThereâs a chance it wonât,â I replied, my voice quiet. Â âAnd with the sheer variety of powers out there, thereâs got to be an answer.â
You know the situation is globally fucked when Taylor is speaking up as the optimist in the conversation.
âThat optimismâs bound to be wearing thin by now,â Alec commented.
âEnough,â Brian said.
I mean, to be fair, itâs not the first time sheâs done it, but still. If Taylorâs the one holding onto hope youâre probably in a very bad situation.
âWhy are you guys freaking out? Â Because Iâm calling you out on your willful blindness? Â The worldâs gonna end, and Iâm okay with that. Â Therefore Iâm saying Iâll go along with your plan, whatever it is. Â Why argue with me?â
Thereâs a distinct argument about resignation in the face of prophecy here too.
Iâm already reexperiencing the Wheel of Time on the side. That story's main theme is âitâs not that great to be bound by prophecyâ and it has enough on this subject to talk about it for an Age. So, uh...
Crossover potential?
During an exhausting mission in the countryside near Brockton Bay, the Undersiders and Charlotte take a rest by a stone covered with strange markings. When they wake up, they find themselves far from anywhere theyâve ever seen before, unfamiliar mountains visible in the distance. As they explore their new surroundings, they discover a world in turmoil as the Dragon Reborn, savior and destroyer in one, breaks all bonds of culture and inspires wars, scheming and more and creatures of the Shadow advance on the world. And it all only gets worse when the residents of this odd new world begin to have trigger events...
Anyway, Taylorâs not going to stand by idly and watch the world end, whether she can help it or not. Sheâs proven that kind of determination already.
...I forgot Aisha.

Abou the "we see everything through Taylor's lenses" thing, the ridiculous amount of WOG that Wilbow leaves on reddit and other places give a better idea of what the situation is like. They are compilated on a spacebattles thread, so you could maybe read them once you finish Worm
Oh, yeah, absolutely. Although maybe itâll be better to wait until after Ward, depending on what comes up there? You guys will know better than me on that front, so you can figure it out with Sharks when the time comes.
(Later is probably better than now because thereâll be more of Ward to judge by.)
âAnd me?â I asked, feeling a pang of alarm.
âHe knows your weak points. Â The gaps in your power, your dad, your identity, your morals. Â You already know that.â
Right. That might be an issue.
I did, but hearing it said so clearly, it was one of those cases where having the details laid out in front of me didnât make me feel more confident.
âSo this is going to be a different kind of fight,â Brian mused. Â âItâs about control and subterfuge. Â If he figures out what weâre doing, if we clue him in, heâs probably better equipped than any of our past opponents when it comes to knowing how to deal with us. Â If the city gets condemned, weâre boned. Â And if Dinah gets her powers back, heâll be impossible to beat.â
Dinah and Coilâs powers complement each other really damn well. She can tell him where his choices lead before he, uh, starts his free timeline demos.
Control and subterfuge. Itâs a chess game against a chessmaster, and the key is to not let him realize heâs playing.
Which ties very well into his powerâs weakness, which is surprise attacks that donât give him time to split the timeline soon enough for one of his copies to succeed/survive. Donât let him know heâs playing until itâs too late for him to win.
âThatâs the gist of it. Â Even I donât know what he has planned for his endgame, here. Â Itâs looking pretty ugly, to be honest.â Â Lisa counted off the points on her fingers. Â âThe Chosen will be gunning for us, Coilâs got a small army of pretty excellent, well-equipped soldiers at his disposal, heâs got some pretty fucking heavy hitters with the Travelers, the heroes are going to be going into overdrive to establish some sort of control and last but not least, heâs Coil.â
Things are gonna get wild.
âAnd mommyâs on a bender,â Aisha said. Â âDonât think itâll end anytime soon.â
It was odd, but Brian looked more upset at hearing that than Aisha was about saying it aloud. Â Hadnât he grown up with his dad?
I think heâs more upset about the fact that Aishaâs been living a life that led to her seriously saying this kind of thing casually. Like, itâs something sheâs used to, a fact of life, and Brian hates that.
Of course, it may also be that he has sentiment for his mom too in spite of how much of an obstacle she has been. Growing up mainly with his dad doesnât preclude that.
âSo itâs really down to you two,â I addressed Alec and Rachel.
âIf I were to say I wanted to stick around? Â That I like the status quo?â Alec asked.
Thatâs not entirely hypothetical, is it?
âThatâs fine,â Lisa said. Â âYouâd be an asshole and a prick, but weâd work around you.â
Pfft.
But yeah, besides the joke (I choose to interpret that as a tongue-in-cheek joke rather than manipulation), what Lisa is saying here is actually not a good thing, at least not to the team as a whole. âWorking around someoneâ is exactly what would lead to a schism.
