Distance Learning for Fun and Profit... (Fanfic) / int_1049848f | comment |
Aliens Speaking English: Averted - the transmission Taylor detects speaks in a completely foreign language. She manages to get by because she can still understand the mathematical part of what she sees, and even that requires some effort to "translate". | |

Control Freak | |
Distance Learning for Fun and Profit... (Fanfic) / int_11ad560b | comment |
Control Freak: Alexandria becomes this as she keeps getting blockaded by the government in her attempts to learn more about who is creating the new advanced technology, because she is adamant that only a Tinker could be behind it, and therefore they and all their Tinkertech should be under PRT and her control. It gets to the point that Legend thinks she really needs to get laid. | |

Instantly Proven Wrong | |
Distance Learning for Fun and Profit... (Fanfic) / int_14180452 | comment |
Instantly Proven Wrong: When Brendan presents Taylor's theory about quantum computers to a NSA doctor, the latter claims that it is brilliant, but the technology is at least two decades away and would cost tens of billions of dollars to make it work – and that's if it can actually be made to work. Brendan promptly shows him the quantum computer Taylor gave him and immediately asks how many he wants. | |

Cool Old Guy: Professor Angus Drekin, a Brockton Bay University professor of physics who is an old friend of the Heberts and becomes the first person (outside Taylor and her father) to learn about the gravitational reference frame. He puts the Heberts in contact with DARPA and becomes the first to join Taylor's research team. General Brendan Calhoun, the DARPA member who leads the projects spearheaded by Taylor from the Department of Defense side. He soon becomes a friend of the Heberts as well, and delights in every discovery Taylor makes. | |

Boring, but Practical: When Taylor proves capable of understanding tinkertech and creating improved versions, the government gains more by simply buying Leet's old devices, most of which either never worked or don't work any more. | |

Rhetorical Question Blunder | |
Distance Learning for Fun and Profit... (Fanfic) / int_3d038b36 | comment |
Rhetorical Question Blunder: Alexandria lists off several "oddities" relating to Gravtec* The city's infrastructure being repaired, the sheer number of government agents in the city, the gangs all keeping quiet, villains just flat out leaving town and demands to know what about that isn't a suspicious enough reason for them to investigate further. Legend retorts that none of it is suspicious, citing that all of it boils down to "The military is very heavily invested in Gravtec and is doing everything in their power to make sure things run smoothly", whether that's repairing roads or scaring off gangs. | |

One-Man Industrial Revolution: Downplayed. While Taylor is the undisputed source of all the scientific advancements produced (even if part of them come from her understanding of an outside source) and she's smart enough to actually turn them into products that can be easily created with current technology, she still needs third party support to turn it into an actually feasible project. | |

Achievements in Ignorance: Taylor, while fiddling around with one of her inventions, ends up connecting to an extraterrestrial transmission. Taylor, not knowing the alien she's in communication with is the source of all powers and the Endbringers, manages to subvert both of them simply by talking to it and giving it the new data it wants without the need for conflict. | |

Mugging the Monster: Three thugs (possibly Merchants) try to mug a dockworker who may or may not be a secret agent. Either way the man beats the hell out of one of the thugs while the other two (both incredibly high) laugh at him. When Glory Girl and Panacea intervene, the dockworker states that "pain's a good teacher" and his would-be mugger has learned a valuable lesson, something the mugger quickly agrees with. | |

Nothing Is Scarier: When the Endbringers begin tapering their attacks before stopping altogether, Parahumans all over the world begin to fear they may be gearing up for something worse. Of course, it's actually Taylor's accidental discovery of the Shard Network and her communicating with it that has put a stop to the Endbringers' actions. | |

Teen Genius | |
Distance Learning for Fun and Profit... (Fanfic) / int_d280a296 | comment |
Teen Genius: Taylor, full stop. Using a homemade electronic device, she detects an alien transmission, transforms it into data she can transform into video and audio and then manages to understand science the likes of which no one on Earth has ever seen - taught in a language she doesn't know at all. She then turns that knowledge into practical applications, expands on it on her own, and documents everything in such a way that anyone with enough how-to can replicate her inventions. In the meantime, she studies the alien language, picks apart Tinker devices to remake them in more efficient forms (while also documenting how they work) and even manages to subvert the Shard Network and stop the Endbringers. Everyone in the know is certain that Taylor will be awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics sooner rather than later. In the omakes, she goes even further: When she accidentally finds herself in Stargate Command, she manages to develop a Stargate-lite of her own, builds a device to recharge Zero Point Modules, studies several alien artifacts and creates the documentation on how they work – and that's while avoiding getting caught by SGC's security, everything in less than eighteen hours. Samantha Carter, no slouch herself, states that the notebook Taylor left behind may be the most important scientific document in history. When she returns home, she later rebuilds the Stargate-lite in a more efficient form capable of connecting with the actual Stargate – all because she was bored while waiting for some results. When she catches on the emergency beacon Tali creates after her ship is attacked by Batarian pirates, Taylor first creates the means to answer, then a way to actually communicate with her (and learning Tali's language in the meantime), and after that she builds a trans-universal teleporter to bring her to Earth and a device to allow Tali to instantly learn English. | |

Over-the-Top Secret | |
Distance Learning for Fun and Profit... (Fanfic) / int_d49291cd | comment |
Over-the-Top Secret: A more mundane example. Alexandria, in her civilian identity as PRT Director Rebecca Costa-Brown, tries to get access to classified information about Gravtec, citing she was Top Secret Clearance, only to be shutdown and told her clearance doesn't pertain to Gravtec and is irrelevant.note Which is Truth in Television, as classified information is compartmentalized on top of the needed clearance access to ensure that the risk of it being compromised is reduced as much as possible. Alexandria can have the clearance, but if she doesn't have the required access permissions, which specific things can have all on their own, she can't access them to begin with unless she can prove she has a need to know the information in the first place. | |

Simple, yet Awesome | |
Distance Learning for Fun and Profit... (Fanfic) / int_ea480f92 | comment |
Simple, yet Awesome: The first large scale usage of Taylor's antigravity technology is to move a large scuttled cargo ship out of the bay, which finally opens up the bay for shipping again. What makes it awesome is that Gravtec deliberately floats the ship fifty feet in the air and very blatantly moves it over to the docks for salvaging. | |

Running Gag | |
Distance Learning for Fun and Profit... (Fanfic) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Taylor breaks physics over her knee, resulting in Angus calling Brendan and casually asking if the military would be interested in her newest invention* Extremely cheap room temperature superconductors, a handheld MRI, a cloaking device small enough to fit in your pocket, etc, and Brendan then shouting over the whole thing. Brendan is rather glad to be on the other end of the equation when he presents a computer scientist with quantum computers. | |

Gadgeteer Genius: Taylor has had a deep love for technology and science since she was a child, and loves to create her own devices out of anything she can find. | |

Pet the Dog: Amy gets the recognition (and pay) for her (many hours of) hospital work, thanks to Taylor's intervention. | |
