I don't think it's exactly that she has too much power but rather that the nature of her power is beyond human understanding and control, so having so much power just means it's a potential disaster when her control does slip. Being with Smitty rather than Gamma would just make her unable to control her powers more frequently. Sure, he might make the brain spiders march in step or something, but that's not really very helpful, is it?

Not to mention that Smitty's power might not even be strong enough to influence Zimmy's reality warping. Word of Tom is that his powers are subtle.

I didn't write any of that.

wild mass guess Smitty imposes Order. Zimmy imposes Chaos. They can cancel each other out.

No. Zimmy imposes nightmares, thoughts, and spiders.

Well, technically, it's playing with both shadow (realms) and fire. Poor shippy-wippy: it's yet to learn that you don't poke sticks at balrogs.

I really hope Ship doesn't try to coerce Zimmy by harming Gamma. There'll be nothing left of it above the waterline.

You have to wonder what the Court's thinking was, sending all the kids off on a cruise without, apparently, any adult supervision apart from Lindsey, who can't exactly get involved if/now that there's trouble.

I have a suspicion that if any ordinary sea catastrophe would happen, Lindsey would be able to simply carry off all the kids back to the shore.

The thing about ships though is people get stuck and drown. Have to wonder if our stripper/sailor bots are waterproof

But if she fell off she'd end up on the bottom of the ocean, and it would probably take her days to walk back.

Guys, unless those helmets come with force field projectors I don't think they're going to cut it.
