History Fanfic / HiveDaughter

* LoopholeAbuse: Taylor to get past the restrictions on Bio-Tinkers. Anything a Tinker creates has to be approved by the Protectorate beforehand ''except'' things they create before joining, so she seeks to give herself a decent set of creations beforehand so she'll be effective immediately rather than jumping through hoops to make anything at all.

* LoopholeAbuse: Taylor to get past the restrictions on Bio-Tinkers.

* FantasticRacism: It's noted that some powersets, like bio-Tinkers, are discriminated against even by heroes, with Piggot's attitude towards Taylor changing drastically after she found out that the latter was a Bio-Tinker and not a Case 53.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler: In protest to Hive being jailed in the Birdcage unfairly and illegally, Armsmaster, Ms. Militia, Battery, Assault, Velocity all either retire, take a leave of absence or outright quit, and that's only in the Protectorate in the Bay; Gallant, Vista, Clockblocker, Kid Win, Browbeat and Aegis all either did the same or were pulled by their parents, the entirety of the Philadelphia Wards quit in protest, and Chevalier notes that half of the Chicago team wants to join them]].

* PowersAsPrograms: [[spoiler:Making contact with the Tyranid Hive Mind]] damaged the templates Taylor originally triggered with. Still, Panacea prefers it that way - instead of working off [[spoiler:premade templates, Taylor can now innovate, merely drawing inspiration from the original Tyranids.]]

* PsychicStatic: Apparently the Shadow In The Warp affects some Thinkers. Coil is driven to a near VillainousBreakdown just by being in the same room as Taylor during her interview, even pulling a gun on her in one timeline, and even Contessa has trouble using a Path around them, to the point that even one separated from the hive mind is invisible to her power. The Simurgh's Scream doesn't work on the creation that Taylor sends to fight it, and she is unable to perceive it until it attacks her. Accord is immune because his power works by allowing him to plan better based on the information he has, not by gathering info ''for'' him.

** [[spoiler: Their sending her to the Birdcage to try and deal with her not only causes a public backlash against the PRT when news of Hive and Canary being sent to the prison on flimsy grounds comes out, along with the public support Hive had built up (with even a lot of Brockton's PRT troopers feeling outraged at what happened) and the charges that were installed in her creatures is revealed when one of her flying creatures fell with a hole in its face in traffic, but her HiveMind nature means that even though she's cut off from her Birdcaged main body, she's still active.]]

* MistakenIdentity: [[spoiler:Scion, when traveling to the Warhammer reality, mistakes the Hive Mind for another of its species and trie to start dialogue - only to be rebuked with a colossal blast of psychic power.]]

** [[spoiler: It's also very hard to seize control of any part of her or her creations. When Noelle tries to duplicate one of her assault creatures, she spits out a pure Tyranid. While Taylor manages to force a connection with the creature and subsume it into her control, she knows that if she lets control slip before she can fix it, it's going to cause a bloodbath. The organic console she creates at the Birdcage is Mastered by Teacher, though the control isn't absolute, allowing her to see what Teacher is trying to do and subvert his attempts at escape.]]

* MundaneUtility

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: [[spoiler: When the rest of Cauldron is getting worried about how Hive's actions in Canberra, despite promoting stability, are weakening their ability to predict what's happening there, Legend asks if they need to be the only ones to save people.]]

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:Alexandria is interested in Taylor's creatures and arranges for a demonstration she's putting on for Piggot to go awry so she can abduct one. After the Triumvirate witnesses its effectiveness even when cut off from Taylor's HiveMind, they drop it from high above into the Indian Ocean, assuming it will die from the fall or drowning and that will be that. Had Taylor not specifically tailored the Tyranid not to self-replicate, the ecological damage would have been catastrophic. To make it worse, she manages to recover the damaged creature and now she has hard evidence of the involvement of Alexandria, Eidolon and Contessa.]]

* AlmightyIdiot: [[spoiler:The Tyranid Hive Mind. When Taylor makes accidental contact a second time, both minds instinctively scan each other. Taylor's fails almost immediately due to the sheer number of entities connected, but the Tyranid Mind copies her mental structures associated with creativity. After some recovery time, Taylor realized the Tyranids' Mind is unspeakably vast and clever, but lacks the spark of imagination. It's implied absorbing those bits will begin changing the Tyranids' modus operandi now that they have data on plants and Taylor's plans for survivability in space.]]
