Exciting to see Engineeria's run through brain puns unfold!  (Let Go of My Ego, Beware the Ids that March, and now Super Ego Maniac)

 

So much better with her telling of it! So many great and funny moments.

Tidbit Responses - will add more as she unveils her journey.

Spoiler

So this was the last trio of missions I put together in a Vigilante - Post-Praetoria vein.

 

All the psychic first ward stuff had not found a home in my stories yet, and the Mr G arc brought The Awakened and Penny Mayhem to Paragon. So what became of them? Basically a mashup of the Council always going for giant robots (now through psionics!) / the Marchand fall of striga stuff (they need to recruit new leaders) / along with the Clockwork King-esque idea of mind-controlled robots like Praetorian Penny originally did. It also let me use all those old clockwork models in AE and the psychic clockwork to good end.

Other tidbits 

• Back in "Beware the Ids that March," I meant to mention you went to the CMF because in every one of the All That arcs, you go to Praetoria/glimpse Neo Tokyo at least once. I also have a personal goal to use every one of the Praetorian outdoor maps somewhere in these.  🙂
• Mynx's comment about Bobcat - refers to the previous arc, where you unwittingly helped Mr G and gang (including Bobcat) return to Praetoria, now controlled by Neo Tokyo.
• Col Buddy Bolton - You're named PPD pal! You've seen him in cameos in a few places across All That, sometimes after your vigilante self. He is generally your buddy though and plays a big role in Glows. Since you have had your own Buddy PPD ally, in my head and reading of your story, your PPD Buddy and mine are somehow one and the same. 
• Major bug! Young Penelope Mayhem was not supposed to be in M3. I had a group called Mayhem Clockwork, which included some of the "Curium Clockwork" and "Silver Tesla Clockwork" along with the Psychic Clockwork. No idea why, but they are not in that group anymore, and only young Penelope (AV) is. So - um - kudos taking on a downgraded AV more often than intended - I fixed it and Marauder's double "has" 
  • Because the story has her mentally regressing to find a happier time in her life, she looks like a younger Praetorian her when manifesting herself in the Soothseer stone - but again - not in M3 in the Clockwork Warehouse - there she had possessed the Clockwork King and become "The Clockwork Queen," with her playtime friends. Suspect that was a little confusing.
• And then there is the whole Vanessa's daughter and Wu Yin memory transfer cut scene from the Mayhem origin story which had to get worked in. 
  • Its clear I am counting a bit on people having played the Penelope in Praetoria stuff - Rusty reference too...
• @cranebump Time is fleeting... 🙂
• Pretty tragic story in the end. She is too untethered to reality and too powerful to let roam free...
• The other tragedy is that I wrote this all before I knew there was a task force involving Penelope Mayhem - so that is not accounted for 😞
