though to answer, I have never seen much done with Puppet and her powers.

So, Puppet's an EX-2, WA-2. What does she warp, I wonder?

Or might that be a spoiler?

Dawnfyre wrote: She was code named that because of the lines being fed into her body to pump the fluids so she can live make her LOOK like a puppet of a string. It is a perfect code name, since it gives nothing away about her abilities.

Probably not canon.

Janet checked again, “So you say she’s hooked up to machinery like a person in The Matrix, and her blood is green and poisonous?”
Phase nodded, “That’s why her codename is Puppet.”
“Yuck.”

Umm...you do realize that the Whateley Academy universe is a collaborative effort, don't you? That means the canon authors communicate about all of their stories. So I wouldn't just write off something Drunkfu did (if it was done while he was a canon author) just because it focuses on a character that isn't his.

Nope, cousin of Ayla who he has visited in Hawthorn. And in those stories when he first found out she in there, mentioned her and she has always been female.

Even if they don't know for sure, how would they find out? Quick! Let's unplug her and see if she dies!

My guess, given what was revealed about Nimbus, is that Puppet was an attempt of melding something non-human (Class X?) into an human. It wasn't... entirely successful: some parts of her body changed more than others -- her brain adapted to the new biochemistry, but her heart didn't.

Valentine wrote: I don't believe that Puppet's gear is down to a portable size yet, nor hardened against Antenna, Glitch, or any of the other energizers out there. What she has now is much better than before, and I am sure she is on the list for more upgrades, but there are others with problems to solve.

First, who said it was an open bucket?

There was already a bucket and mop against one wall, and the bucket was full of a nasty-looking yellow cleaning agent.

I took the bucket of toxic waste out, and I poured it down the bio-hazard chute.

Second, Jade was doing her job, and she had a release from her "parent" that basically absolved the School from all responsibility from placing her in danger.

Third, you are worried about the possible contamination from a diluted bucket of poison, but want the girl producing the poison to wander around virtually unprotected? MOPP gear is good at keeping stuff out, not so good at keeping stuff in. Even if she wore a fully sealed bubble type suit, they aren't all that cut proof, especially against the sort cutters Whateley has. Aquerna could easily puncture or shread such a suit accidentally with her nails.

“I had it written as broadly as possible,” he explained, “since I wasn’t sure what Amelia was up to, then I forwarded the information through to Zenith. I’m hoping that I can trust you to act responsibly, and not endanger yourself recklessly.”

“You’re right,” Morrie said. “Don’t even fool around with it. Believe me, you’ll know if you ever need it.” He seemed to gather his breath. “Look, last week, I wasn’t going to let you even come close to this job. But a new permit came through on your work forms, authorizing you for ‘any and all risks necessary’ for your job. Stan and I have been talking about it, and … you could really help out.

Any situation requiring CBW protective gear to prevent rapid death is NOT something to be handled by stupid 14yo teenagers!

You are right that a permission slip to go skiing would cover any potential dangers normally found on a ski slope. Jade's "permission" slip is a bit broader than that. Now legally, even if it had been signed by her father, it wouldn't have a leg to stand on, but then again who is going to be the adult for Jade? She doesn't have one.
