She can't do a think without leverage. You just need to do two things to disable any capability she has to attack:
Lift her off the ground. Without something to push, she can't move. If she can't move, she can't get close to you.
The kinetic amp club can create shock waves. You either need to move far enough to be unaffected by them or remove the kinetic amp club.
That only leaves the Hallelujah Scream, but that can only happen if the controller can activate berserk mode and remain in control. Plus, while deafening, it's like a flashbang. If you can keep your cool and aren't right next to it when it explodes, it doesn't really hurt you.

Personally I'd also suggest something to disable her, like a good psychic push in the back of her knees, then using chem thrower on her to restrain (not sure if it's strong enough though).

Doesn't she also have a manipulator? Seeing as how these people use spess mahgic, they might know what it is and know how to use it.

Yeah, but she only has two hands and she's using one of them to hold the kinetic amp club. She'd have to reach for her backpack to grab the manipulator.

Sure, just mentioning it in case people thought preventing her from moving would mean she's no more danger.

God damn it, I knew this would happen. I just kinda hoped it would happen to another newbie. I think I might just have Pan run away, because I'm not sure anyone can really "contain" Faith right now. I have a few ideas on how I can stop her, but most of those fall under the "use overwhelming force category."

I wonder If I can use my mass amp to just make her smack that club into herself.

Pretty sure "use overwhelming force" is the only option here. You have a mass amp right? Pin her to the ceiling? Rip limbs off? Urk.

Not sure how effective this goop thrower will be on Faith but i'm betting "not very".

Probably not gonna restrain her, but might be obtrusive enough to take away part of her ridiculous dex bonus.

Lifting her into the air and then spinning her rapidly might prevent her from using the shockwave club for fear of bringing down the building. Dunno how long you could keep that up, though. An experimental force-transfer might be worth trying, but you'd have to get a squishy newbie into melee range for that.

Calling Steve and hoping synthflesh can be shut down remotely is probably our cheapest option. It might not work, as mentioned, but in theory it has no downsides if it fails. Unless that gives the banshee even more control or something.

I like the berserk option a lot, but it's hard to pull off and if it fails oh my gods.

D'usse is probably safe, being a building or two away.

Safe-ish.

I like the idea of asking Steve if he can remotely disable Faith, but Yttra doesn't even know that's a possibility, so she can't reasonably do it…

We should probably ask for an update on the police operation.

You guys have hostages right? Throw one of them at her. If it doesn't work, hey, less hostages to look after. If it does, the banshee should be in an easier body to control. Then maybe she'll jump out of the hostage body, and then you guys can kill her. What's the wort that can happen?  :))

Smurfington's character also has the Gungnir... might help at least a little. I mean, a shock from a Tesla Saber should be enough to at least incapacitate Faith, even with synthflesh.

As long as he actually manages to hit her, anyway.

So... two TPKs for the price of one? :P
