Love this fic, hope it updates soon!
Added DiffLines:
Transposition, or: Ship Happens , is a a ''Literature/{{Worm}}'' fanfic, crossing over with ''Manga/ArpeggioOfBlueSteel''. In this universe Taylor's trigger event is somehow interrupted, and she has a vision of a white-haired girl talking to her in Japanese. When she awakens, she finds out that she has become a Union Core and Mental Model of the Fleet of Fog/Experimental Platform X-1, essentially an {{AI}} in a body constructed out of {{Nanomachines}} for the unaware. Preparing a costume, she goes out and becomes the hero Relentless, and Earth Bet will never be the same.
Whatever she expected when she triggered, it wasn't meeting a short white-haired girl or turning into a hyper-advanced technological platform. Of course when you're Taylor Hebert, things frequently don't go as planned.

* AllForNothing: After getting conscious control of her nanomaterial unlocked, Taylor's a little irked that her costume, which she spent months working on, is now redundant, as she can just make it at will.
