He seems to be thinking of himself as a separate person than his pre serum self, so resetting would be killing himself.
Bonjour.
goddamn just do the reset. the difference will be clearer. then you can compare and dose yourself again. all this would be solved with some cybernetic augmentation.

He used a chemical augmentation because he thought that it wouldn't alter his mind. Now that it has, he doesn't want to undo it for exactly the same reason that he wouldn't have used it if he understood what it did.
If David Kim was around, you'd be on to something. However, any other cybernetic would come without an auto-repair, which would be a major problem if he found himself without a ring.
yes, but wouldnt it be the "original" him if he reset it? because it feels like he rather "lost" something in the process.
you know there is nothing stopping you from recreating david's work. since you have a power ring and was born with the ability to learn new skills as a sapiant naturally is. the ring could be theoretically used to teach yourself, science, engineering, medicine, and chemistry to recreate his work.
Why would new!him care about original!him?
The only nanotech he's seen on Earth to date explicitly eats everything it comes into contact with.
Pass. A glance at the Wikipedia page suggests not.
The problem isn't the lack of human lanterns.
on what exactly? david kim? the concept of a scientist hero? or the cyborg comment.
Ah, here to ask for the assistance of Amalak's Coluan adjutant? I suppose he needs a sample to provide the Martians with a general template for Coluan mind-forms...
That's an interesting idea. Staying on the good side of a clearly powerful being who's done you a few favours, and thus owe him quite a few in turn?
Thought so. Pity you didn't think about that when the anti-Psion alliance got their genocide on...
Probably making all manner of trouble as they wander the sector righting wrongs... And hopefully not being total A-holes.
Hardly. One joy of enlightenment is understanding 'needs must'...
Oh, sure, rule by fear. But then, some people just aren't built to be nice leaders.
Ah, dropping some Solar bullshit on the rest of the galaxy. A nice reminder that some species just naturally win the super-power lottery...
Given that most other systems in the DC universe have maybe one sapient race apiece, and often whole sectors with a monoculture, I shudder at what he'd think of Earth's diverse nations...
Yeah, that's about what the Guardians thought of the Burning Martians. Total nightmare.
Can you imagine the cost of that many explosives? Even if you only set it up to decimate the population, how long will it take them to just go 'eh, it's not that big a deal' and go right back to what they were doing?
I take it Amalak hasn't really been looking into humans... Not that it would be that easy anyway...
He has need of her brain. And not merely in an advisory role...
Yeah, OL can be blunt like that. It's one reason he's so refreshing.
Yes, I think Vril Dox the First is still busy flying around collecting cities in bottles and blowing up planets, is he not?
I see he has sympathy for them. Reminded of his own people's fate?
Not nearly enough. Unless you want to pull an Adam and Eve scenario. And I doubt either Vril Dox or Vran Gozzi here cares for that.
Yes, it's quite the impressive scenario.
As I said, they'll need samples of Coluan mental structures. Don't want to go pulling a Computer Tyrant out by mistake...
That's putting it mildly.
It's nasty drawback the Guardians installed, isn't it? Imagine being forced to spend your time around other people all the damn time. No privacy, no alone time, no secrets... And merely trying to have such things mark you as a little off.
Good idea. God only knows what it's like for the Coluans inside their simulations. For all we know, it's like a massively multiplayer version of Submachine in there...
That'll raise anyone's eyebrow. Now I wonder if Amalak will ask about these 'pornographic performances', just out of curiosity, of course.
...Not really helping their case here, OL. I mean, it's something he needs to be told, I suppose, but... So blunt.
Wasting no time, I see. Let's hope the lady is willing...
prisoner -> prisoners
forcing -> force
