Grrl Power #1476 – Commute
Maxima can obviously move really fast, and inertia has minimal effect on her organs, at least when she’s providing the acceleration and vector changes via her own power, but there’s a limit to how tightly she can corner relative to her velocity. She has to drop it to right around mach 1 to pull the 3 dimensional S turn coming out of the hanger there, especially because she’s not planting her foot against something then kicking off, like you might do if you were trying to tightly maneuver in a swimming pool or something.
Max better hope that guy on the docks isn’t one of those proactive paranoids. Unlike your normal conspiracy theorist who just gets their marching orders from… I don’t know, Facebook I assume, the proactive ones might do something like check the dock security cameras. Now, on Earth, 95% of security cameras are just good enough to capture the broad strokes, you know, a truck pulled up to the loading bay, 3 guys got out, and maybe they were black or maybe they were wearing ski masks, but it’s too low res to really tell… actually I’m sure you could get “Caucasian” balaclavas if you went looking for them… anyway, the point is that very few systems record at 8K and 120 FPS. An alien tech security system most likely will still use the cheapest cameras available, but their Fischer Price camera might be something that captures video 64K resolution and 800K frames per second, because their computational, compression and storage tech is a thousand years ahead of ours.
Oh, look who it is in the vote incentive. And a not-quite-yet-but-it’s-coming NSFW version over at Patreon.
Vote incentive and Patreon updated with some shading. Not finished yet, but progress.
I think she would get in trouble for doing this. She’d mess up the… floor of the waterfall? Is that what it’s called? The receiving pool? No, probably not that. Anyway, she’d churn things up and cause a ton of weird erosion.
Since you might be wondering, Niagara Falls is about 165 feet high, so Babezilla obviously doesn’t have to be full sized. I’d say she’s about 175-180 feet tall here?
Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. Feel free to contribute as much as you like.
I just hope Max doesn’t forget to get rid of her Max-disguise…
A lot of security cameras record stuff in HD at least which is enough to get a good look at faces. News stations just dumb them down to potato quality because… trust me bro. I don’t think any exists that can clearly record Maxima/ Sonic/ Superman/ the Flash speed running reality.
You’d be amazed how many places still use the ‘Potato-Cam’ quality stuff that was top-of-the-line 15 to 20 years ago.
And it’s not just because the new stuff is expensive, there can be reliability issues, convenience, issues around placement or setup.
I know a store that upgraded from ‘potato’ to HD security cameras last year, and they wished they’d been allowed to keep the potato-cam system as it was easier to access and had a dedicated screen front-of store for them to watch for shoplifters. The HD system doesn’t have such a screen and you need to log into a PC to view what the cameras have recorded.
Best security is K.I.S.S. trust me bro’ imma card carrying hench and a veteran. I am withdrawing from digital life slowly… Because the usability and imho security also has utterly tanked. Also, most people I seen online wouldn’t make good fodder at Waterloo.
I wasn’t really paying attention. Is Sydney in like the danger room? The matrix? A training room of a fighting game?
Looks like the holodeck on Cora’s ship, where Max recently did her sword training session.
Also, a supersonic flyby 3 feet from Sydney would be rather unpleasant for her. So we know Max as absurd control over her flight speed and inertia and I’m sure Deus is idly crunching those numbers in his head as an afterthought.
Yeah she really should have had her shield up. If she had the shield up, the shield would likely be blown backwards. So she might have needed flight up. But that smashes her between the still air and Max’s wake.
Possibly being on the back side of the causeway would reduce this.
Low level flybys of fighters are dangerous because they kick up crap, which at least would cause a hazard to anything in its wake. Not to mention any bobble due to turbulence puts the plane in the dirt.
For camera resolution, Mach 1 at sea level means she’s moving about 3 meters between frames at 120fps. So she could be caught by consecutive frames but I suspect her features would be smeared out because the dots need a certain amount of light to fall on them and that light is from a fast moving object. Low light with cameras these days is better than it was because there’s multiple frames taken and the pictures averaged out.
Sydney? Next time you and Max employ this tactic, bubble up first. Just a suggestion.
Why do the sick workers look like the Citidal workers from Mass Effect?
it’s called a Shout Out
Perhaps Dave is a fan of Mass Effect like all people of class.
Does Max just phase through matter when moving this fast? You’d think the air would catch on fire or something.
It’s called PLASMA dude, might want to look it up. Sheesh what a D-list villain name…Ahem, indeed. (snerk) But I pulled a job with a jerk named “The STAIN” so wadda I know.
Lame >.<
Max seriously didnt need more glazing.
Her being able to dip out of a galactic tournament to solve a problem on earth, and then return,
pushes her even further into Mary Sue levels.
While also reflecting badly on Archon that they could not manage this on their own.
This tournament arc is going downhill fast.
So the big thing about kaijus is that you really can just “shoot the legs.”
or the cell phone with any basic projectile weapon[yes even projecting photons as seen by id10ts pointing lasers at cockpits during landings.]
What that means is you crit every time you bother to aim your weapon if you can get thru the DR (damage resistance).
And since this one shrinks back to human size you only have to toss a gerbil in their ear canal to critically damage their brain. [Superion field does not deal with foreign living things]
So obviously Max was not needed.
The real trouble must be slowing down intermittently when near people that die to sonic booms.
I’m wondering if, in her haste, she’s going to forget some aspect of her disguise. Actually, related to that, I was recently rereading the tournament arc as a result of an ill-advised late night archive trawl, and I remember the suit taking time to remove or stitch onto her, probably in part from how it has to be incredibly formfitting to be covered by her personal force field, so a rush job is likely to leave material that will get vaporized with high-power attacks, revealing some of her true nature.
Ah but she is also employing holograms which take a lot less time to change.
