"Oh I didn't know it could do mundane stuff like that."

"Tinkers are really good with mundane technology that's remotely like whatever we do."

"I really wish we had Tinkers."

"Well, maybe one day I'll find Earth Bet and evacuate it and you can have some! Just not me."

"Well, your new power is neat too."

"It's fine, it's definitely better than nothing."

"It seems like it might be turn out to be really important?"

"It might, but lots of powers seem like they might turn out to be really important, and then they don't."

"I suppose so - it's definitely not the usual sort of maybe important power that I'd expect to see here."

"I think espers have a lower average power level even not accounting for backlash."

"I can't tell whether this is a good thing or a bad thing."

"I mean, your world's not ending, so that's cool."

"Yeah, that is definitely not worth the more powerful powers."

"We wind up doing a lot of cops and robbers shit. It's stupid and wasteful and some people just will not stop doing supercrimes."

"You think that's a result of the more powerful powers?"

"I think the fact that capes need capes to stop them is? I think your average esper would be easily handled with containment foam and there's lots of capes who just aren't."

"Ah, I guess that makes sense. Even a lot of dungeons are handleable by baseline humans with enough effort and gear."

"Yeah. And, like, they do get worse if you don't stop them but they don't get city-annihilating worse, right? They kill a couple hundred people and then leave for a while."

"Yeah - I think the dungeons and espers have probably been beneficial on net and this isn't true for your type of powers it sounds like."

"And it sucks so much because they so easily could be - I don't think they would be even if we didn't have the Endbringers, but it'd be close and I could be wrong? And if we didn't have the Endbringers and also people would stop running around doing murders then a handful of tinkers and a couple other people could have completely revolutionized everything about everyone's way of life and it would be awesome! And instead those of us with prosocial ambitions fit it into our spare time around trying to prevent the murders and the collapse of civilization."

"Maybe... I'm not sure if we have enough powers to help you with your crime rate even if we could do transport freely between the two places. We could evac innocents I guess."

"Yeah. Though I guess people might still trigger even if you move them from Bet to here and then I'm not sure if they'd still be capey or not. I'm not very capey but there's only the one of me."

"I bet the world would be a better place if there were more but I guess we'll have to make do with just the one."

"I appreciate that but while I may flatter myself I think I'm one of the better possible capes to have landed on you, a lot of them would have been trouble."

"Oh I meant more of you, not more capes in general."
