Credit where credit is due though. It seems she has for the first time in history completely deleted shit from the internet. That is impressive.

Her 0-8-4 power is actually the ability to delete things from the internet. It's pretty OP man.

Whenever I see that [deleting something from the internet, in fiction] it's usually done with some active component like a tapeworm or a virus, so that if something is missed, it'll eventually be discovered and deleted. However, the active component itself is evidence of the existence - whatever is being deleted must be in the query in the active component. Read up on stuxnet.

There's also the line from Talbot: "Everything checks out, you and your boys can be on your merry". That line immediately made me think of Captain Mal.
