[quote=Letter Bee] I see. As for the technology being made for Ruby, actually, my interpretation was that the Anti-Mind Control headbands were made to counter technopaths in General, not Ruby, because 1.) Rofis mentioned Aperture having a Technopath other than Ruby in his first IC Post, and 2.) I thought from that that Technopathy is more common than it actually was, and that any number of Corporations would be snatching up Technopaths. There's also the fact that the Power Armor isn't aimed at Ruby or Technopaths at all, but is rather part of a project parallel to Aperture's, and independent from them. [/quote] Taylor told Ruby she was about 2-3 times more powerful than their other Technopath so he's probably for R&D only. And no, Technopaths aren't that common but there is a fair amount of variation between them. Some are inventors, others tinkerers and most are hackers. But no, they're really very rare! When Ruby was first created, she was the weakest Meta here. Now she has power armour, she has been levelled out with others in terms of fighting. What I'm trying to emphasize is it's the armour that gives Ruby the advantage; remove it and you have the weakest meta again. [quote=Aura] Could she have escaped before it got more locked up? or maybe she is escaping while they're raiding so it makes it easier for her to get out? [/quote] No one escapes Avalon. I don't know whether she'd be in the normal high-security prison part of Avalon or the sleeper facility. If she was in the sleeper facility, she'd be in a coma. Honestly, I don't think Bee wants the reformists to raid Avalon so that might not even happen!
