And off she goes!

Sable kisses Momo's cheek, pops the last slice of persine into her mouth (she'd been munching a bit while they talked), and starts practicing different types of webbing at the tree while Momo makes targets. It turns out she can vary the stickiness along the length and ends, increase the elasticity, and also make a variant that wants to spread out and stick to everything. This last type seems to be good for captures or disarmament, so she practices switching between swing-lines and differently-sized capture webs back and forth as quick as she can, trying to get it reflexive.

"Do you think you can - hm, weave, different sorts of - what am I saying, yes you can, you've done that.  You should practice doing that with the sticks-to-everything stuff, and then...  The weblines you've been doing that are different elasticities?  You're going to need - or at least very much want - that sort of ability, to safely decelerate a falling human who isn't Quirk-reinforced.  There's a reason you wear a harness when you're attached to a climbing rope, it distributes the force - and gradually bringing the elasticity down would then allow you to spread out the decelerative force over time while still exerting maximal safe deceleration, I believe - though I haven't worked out the physics.  ...Sudden sharp stops are bad, I'm assuming you know that."

Sable hums and nods. "Yeah. I'm calling the sprawling sticky stuff capture webbing, or maybe spread-webs. When it's a big net meant to snag a whole person I think I'll call it a capture-web. But yeah, I think hit my falling target with a capture-web to get a good wide grip, spread it out over their whole body, with a really elastic web-line following right after, trying to maybe get them upright so that the deceleration forces are along the spine rather than across it, and gradually increase the number of support lines and decrease the elasticity?"

"That sounds like it would work well, though I'd be hesitant about adding more chances to miss than I had to, in your position."

Another nod. "Yeah, I think the initial capture-web should have a somewhat elastic support line attached so I've got a grip from the first impact, and then I can worry about trying to slow further."

"You do have two hands, at least.  We should actually test the limits of your webbing's elasticity."

"What else was I thinking of..."

"...Right.  I need to figure out how to make a reuseable training dummy for all this.  Probably more than one, because gravity is not going to be so considerate as to limit itself to making only one person plummet to the ground at a time.  And of different sizes and weights..."

At this rate, she is going to figure out how to do Support Engineering.  Kami preserve her.

"...Oh!  Samples of your webbing in its precursor state.  I have some thoughts on how to do that.  Though that's not actually relevant now.  I don't have the lab equipment to do anything with them quite yet, and making it is not high priority.  But once we do know how it's made - assuming it's not a Quirk-influenced material, or the non-Quirk equivalent of such a thing - that gives me a useful tool I wouldn't otherwise have."

"Ooooh that's smart. Most Spideys make the stuff with tech, actually, and we went for built-in just to prevent ever being separated from our web shooters since we had the option. Reusable training dummies are really smart too."

"It'll be smart if I can do it. I'm still not a support engineer, even if the need for it does seem to be bringing out latent tendencies."

"And choosing to make sure you couldn't ever be separated from a key component of your strategies was a very good idea on your part."

Now as for the design of things...

She actually does have some ideas, now that she's thinking about this.  Though a lot of the ideas she has have a lot of problems the moment someone starts webbing them up, at first pass.

...maybe if she puts some sort of clearing mechanism somewhere webbing already should not be applied because of the forces being absolutely horrible...  The neck.  It will have to be the neck.  She wants to make at least semi-realistic arms and legs, but she can't quite figure how to weight them adjustably, and really, there's no time for her to make this a perfect simulation, so that gets thrown on the pile of 'things to noodle at when there's free time'.

That at least does simplify the design, somewhat.

"Are there things that you know would break your webbing?  Repeatedly and reliably, ideally without needing constant maintenance or a lot of raw power?  I'm trying to figure out how to make sure these dummies don't fall into the void and become inaccessible for being weighted, and that requires that I be able to secure an 'escape hatch' for those weights."

Sable frowns for a moment, tilting her head.

There's... something.

Did Gwen know something?

Suddenly she reaches out and grabs the phone, flipping to the notepad and starting writing out a formula and treatment process.

"That's what the Green Goblin treated knives with to cut Gwen's webs. Got 'em through the adhesive webbing smoothly. Knowing that feels so weird."

"But potentially very useful, especially if you have blueprints for things that I might not.  I had also figured that heat might pose problems..."

"...Does it pose problems?"

While she muses, the vast majority of her attention is on both trying to create a small sample of the precursors, and what she suspects is the result, given what she knows about similar Heroics materials.

"Mostly not? Can at temperatures most gear isn't rated for, though.."

"Probably not worth it, then, but do be careful of fire Quirks."

"...Well.  I should hope you'd do that anyway."

"Yeah, every Quirk's worth being careful of. There's a girl from a different universe, different source of powers, and her power was bug control. She leveraged that to take over a city."

"I'm less surprised by that than I think you thought I would be; we have someone who can speak to animals in our class, and he's quite competent as a hero.  The ability to directly control even something so seemingly harmless as bugs...  Well, leaving aside the venomous spiders!

"Depending on the details, it would be positively easy to take over a city."

"That makes you wiser than most people who hear about Taylor's situation, before they read the book. Honestly the biggest threat was how she eventually learned to process their senses, and how she got flawless multitasking for every bug in her six-block range."

"I hope we don't run into her!  That's!  So much!"

"Yeah. She's kind of terrifying to fight. The fun thing, though, is that she only took over the city to fix it after a kaiju wrecked it. Try to like... hedge out the gang of actual Neo-Nazis and stuff, and get basic services going again. She's actually trying to do right by her city, and she'll cooperate with people who don't fuck up her efforts to do so. Honestly, I'm not really worried about running into Taylor. This is the kind of 'villain' who, when she finds out her boss used a job she did as a distraction to kidnap a preteen precog and make himself even more untouchable by combining his power with hers, runs a successful months-long plot to get close enough to him to end him and free the girl."
