I would have assumed a green latern glow being present without any known/official green latern being recorded at being there would be quite a big lead to fallow?
'its'
It's a dead end in the sense that he was hoping Ganthet would be able to just tell him exactly who it was.
I am fairly sure Metron will decide that in the immediate, there are more fruitful avenues than looking for a guy who walked out of the universe a while ago.
He did? I thought it hadn't happened yet?
I think that's supposed to be "it wouldn't be as clean".
Admittedly, given the associations the 'El' name has in Daxamite society, your nickname could well be seen as a demonic invocation. But in this case, he's probably smart enough to know how to use your initials.
He could also have been swearing. Perhaps your Ring just translated what he said as 'Oh, 'ell.'
Good thing they don't go in for open-toed sandals.
Being a lawyer isn't necessarily a high-paying job here, either? He knows the law and advocates for or against people, but largely doesn't get called on much. That could be a thing?
Yes, very astute. truly, the Kryptonian intellect is staggering.
Would have been rude. You looked like you'd been dragged along against your better judgement.
Mention the Boy Scouts of America, and their motto: Be Prepared. Or 'Hope for peace, but prepare for war'.
As in, were you privy to inner circle-type stuff with Cara Yat (whose job in Daxamite society we still don't know) or are you just a junior advocate caught up in something big?
...So Cara Yat is privy to activities involving the ancient technology. Good to know.
Ah...The worries of a loving father. Safety for his family and himself.
You can only hope so.
I won't ask what that was about. OL wondering if he'd be the same someday, perhaps...
Hey, that is annoyingly traumatic for most humans too. At least those above the age of about five...
And while it might raise questions if OL turns up when that happens, the safety net will be invaluable.
Huh. That's an unusual response to hearing something like that. Or maybe not? I don't know, I'm not a Daxamite.
Well, that's an interesting challenge. It wouldn't really alter any aspect of their day-to-day life, outside of removing their lead 'allergy', would it?
So a pretty orthodox Daxamite woman, in other words.
And doing it to someone without their will would be morally iffy. Though it could help Sodam Yat.
Honestly, he has a point. If he's so emotionally troubled by it, then go for it.
Power Rings may seem magical, but they do have limits.
And most definitely check any testing with someone far more proficient in genetics than yourself, OL. Hinon, perhaps, or another Controller in that field?
So for all he knows, it's literally a magic potion. I mean, the general level of Daxamite society... It sounds kind of medieval.
Eh, not really, I guess.
Though if they could detect it to the point they knew it was in your house, that might throw some shade on you.
At least the Ring is doing the heavy lifting of analysis. I mean, Kryptonian-related DNA is goddamn complex. I think one novel I read ('The Death of Superman' adaption, basically) posited that it used four-strand structures? Merely copying what they could got them Suoerboy, though.
Since even the most well-designed retrovirus can mutate. They're honestly lucky he didn't cause a plague.
A Maltusian, I presume.
Thank you, corrected.
Or the ring detected his intent and translated the first syllables.
Thank you, corrected.
Ah, so he does kind of remember what he did while under the Eradicator's control. It's probably plaguing him, too. For the most part, he's never really seen or caused that kind of brutal damage to a human body, and that can leave a mark...
Presumably stealthy beacons monitoring their space. Though a few 'Private property, keep out!' buoys wouldn't go amiss either.
'Nearly', yes. But where OL is concerned, 'nearly' isn't enough to keep him down for long.
Ah, good point. If it happened once, it could happen again, after all.
And can you keep it up in your sleep? In vulnerable moments? You can't maintain it all the time, surely.
Heh, A nice reminder that powerful as hi is, he's still got some limits. I assume it's a full-face mask, to avoid the issue of his eyes' moisture freezing or boiling off...
And if he's not able to be aware of it? After all, even he needs to sleep.
And are you willing to trust everyone else's safety to 'hope so?'
Which says a lot about how complex a Kryptonian computer program is. Probably on the verge of flat-out ensoulment.
And a ward he can wear or place near him as well as one he can get installed in his suit would be smart.
In other words, if he works at it, he could reconstruct the knowledge of how he did it. Assuming he had a few months to study...
The increase in Supes' abilities would more than outweigh the hassle if he got mind-controlled, I suspect.
She really doesn't seem the type to meditate, no.
An accurate summation.
And OL's already basically said he wouldn't let them have it anyway if it were up to him.
Stash it in Jupiter with some burglar alarms? It can probably handle the conditions of the atmosphere better than most things could, but be summonable when needed?
Not immediately, of course.
Given that kryptonian technology is apparently top-of-the-line stuff for the galaxy, that'd be helpful.
Then again, would it really be noticeable? Especially if big chunks of the planet crystallised?
One place the Renegade timeline has a jump on the Paragon...
It'd certainly be making him paranoid. Mostly about 'Why wouldn't he do that much before? has he been holding back all this time?'
Why, hello there, Lex.
Because of course the Light gets ahead even after a failure.
It'd be interesting to see how it looks in there...
Cheeky of Lex. He didn't get enough scans of it while he had it hidden?
Besides, do you want Lex learning more about it without a very short leash?
Well, that's nice. A quiet afternoon relaxing and a good dinner...
...Or not. Guess he's still a bit worried.
