Huh. Well Ragnar was present for the first Qward chapter and he hasn't visited Earth yet. Is he gonna be part of the eventual Sinestro stuff, Kalmin's foreshadowed decision, or some other party? Where the heck could a showdown happen, anyway?
It absolutely shouldn't because she absolutely did.
That should say 'think'.
I don't know what happened, but Paul really needs to lower his expectations about Earth's governments. If there's a chance that they'll do something stupid, they've probably already done it.
'used'
Makes sense. You'd hope her planet was in better shape than that after her being the monarch for centuries. And I see someone else pointed out the error.
'taken'
Interesting. Both the application of nanotech and the realistic treatment of it. In far too many cases, it's treated as a wonder-gadget that can do anything, and so resilient that a 'gray goo' scenario is a risk. And a few days after the last part, I see. Really, the Rings could deal with the harmful stuff easily, but the more options the better.
Heh. I bet some of them are appreciating his all-American good looks, too, even if he's still in 'middle-aged' territory rather than 'twenty-something'.
And with the g-sanchong, the risk of medical issues from the harmful materials is greatly reduced, I bet.
Thomas Midgley, Junior. Quite a distinguished amount of work, even if later years have proven some of them harmful.
I love that he has to make that distinction. OL does rely on that a bit much sometimes.
The former made the gasoline of the era more potent, the later was a cooling gas and aerosol propellant. And both are rather harmful to the environment.
Such is the nature of large-scale projects.
Amusing. I can't help but picture Jay as the 'concerned' one now. Conscientious of environmental stuff compared to his contemporaries...
Presumably signed as 'The Flash', I expect, unless his civilian identity had a presence in scientific circles. <Glances down> ...Never mind, this was in his youth.
Actually a thing, too. And a tricky thing to work around back then...
Probably requires a lot less focus and concentration, though, given the nature of Will versus Hope.
It's still made of meat, though. Even if it is well-seasoned with Spectrum energies... I rather think it'd be noticeable if you weren't anymore.
Admittedly, the environmental shields can do a lot of heavy lifting in that department, protecting from toxins and poisons, but there's bound to be times when you don't have one up.
If nothing else, all the team members who the thing isn't compatible with due to physiology, whether it be alien (Superman or Icon) or inorganic (Captain Atom or Plastic Man.)
Humans can be a little shortsighted in that respect. We're not overly given to considering long-term outcomes, at least past our own lifetimes, at the most.
And there won't always be Lanterns to box the thing up inside a safety bubble as it crumbles or rip it down from the bottom up. Better to have them independent of you all, even if it takes longer.
A very pertinent thing when the Blue Light is involved, certainly...
The near-total collapse of civilisation, or the extreme urban build-up? Because either of those things could affect geomantic energies.
Oh, right, after the whole JSI-dimension thing. When he met a version of himself more like the original comics canon in backstory...
So unless they were born and adopted completely secretly, or the paperwork was lost, well...
Still, having made sure is probably reassuring.
Something to lighten the mood and cleanse the mind, eh?
Ah, he knows OL so well... Such a good mentor.
Ah, some manner of support organisation for the League and other super-beings? Akin to the wider organisation seen in the DCAU?
Impressive that he felt so strongly it produced enough for the Ring to comment on.
Unfortunately, with as much power as he and the League have right now, it's rather easy to go all ''Civilisation' player optimisation' on things.
...Why do i get the feeling it won't go so easily?
Well, that's an ominous thing to hear at the end of a scene...
No, you got a one line flash forwards.
Thank you, corrected.
To be fair, it wasn't exactly them this time.
Thank you, corrected.
Probably. Stew-pid is how I pronounce it, but stoo-pid isn't unusual.
I mean... Yes. Humans are part of the environment, though it's a slightly unusual way of phrasing it.
No, just the effect of lead on the human brain. It's not like the Romans; they knew about that back them.
Did the Reach arrive and try to claim they were there to help humanity? I remember you saying when they arrive that Paul will consider it target practice.
That's a while off.
He's American, right? He said gas a little earlier, so gas or gasoline would be more expected than petrol, here.
Thank you, corrected.
Yes, but if I spent all my time correcting the way Americans speak then I'd never get anything done.
Those are the same thing in most dialects, even British dialects.
He died to the Sheeda.
'It's a fair cop', huh? Though I have to wonder at the chances of her reaching proper imprisonment safely, given that those guarding her are quite vexed by her. Then again, the Joker never 'falls up some stairs' any time he's arrested either... Could just be a thing in DC.
Well, some of them might definitely be happier. As for black-ops operations, I'm sure they'll find solutions for those.
An apt passage in this case, certainly. Though the question of whether any person in her position could do better.
Heh. Even if she has Miranda Rights, I don't see her having a pleasant time in the next few days.
Not sure it'll help her eventual fate, but hey, if it makes her feel better now...
That may not make him feel better, but at least he's in the moral right.
He found evil, and should rejoice for it has been removed...
That he has an angel serving him directly? I don't know, it depends on how devout she is.
...I don't think that's quite what he meant, but fortunately Lan is such a cinnamon roll he missed the joke.
Such a cinnamon roll. Completely asexual.
Much as Zariel fell for falling in love with his assigned protectorate. And he is in a comparable position, minus the 'assigned' part, what with the 'serving a mortal subject' thing.
Well, ruin the surprise, then.
...How did the Princess find that out, then?
Yeah, best not to go poking some unknown magical arrangement. Hopefully, they can even get the same person who set it up to disarm it.
Oh, that's going to be interesting when he sees the Ring or Rings.
Heck, there'll probably be a general improvement on the level of morale, at least.
...All of them? Or do you just mean 'free to be judged by mortal laws', I wonder?
Ah. No doubt those who are murderous, inimically hostile to human existence by choice or biology, and those who have nowhere else to go.
Good to see they weren't uniformly on board with Waller's shit.
I see the news has spread through the grapevine in the traditional manner. Around the world before the truth could even get its boots on.
And please, watch the phrasing, given who you're talking to, Liz.
May as well be comfortable for the good word.
So, good news for most of them. Well, outside of the murderers and lunatics, anyway.
Who was... Ah, right, Congorilla. I can see why that would appeal to him.
...Not exactly a lot around to kill, but if they can tweak his code to make 'terrorist' acceptable...
...If that's even possible, as he was somehow made with WWII technology, yet has a computer brain small enough to fit into his frame.
Yeah, I see him finding work in the black ops community. At least for missions where 'no survivors' is a bonus, not a penalty. Subtle, he is not.
Oh-ho? Are we going to get a '1.1 Fear Not!'?
...Ah, looks like the Silver City finally looked over the access records and had a double-take.
'Illegal Use of Celestial Access Codes', perhaps? At least everyone in the room is getting proof that yes, Angels and the like are real. Might see a few miraculous reformations.
'will be upgraded'
I mean, that's fair, he is a thief, and as far as we know he hasn't repented for it.
