Parasites don't want their hosts to die. Not until they reproduce.
Ah, a friendly. And given what we saw yesterday, probably coming to let OL know what's going on back on Minosyss. Now, how quickly can OL pivot his plans,head off the bad guys at the pass... And maybe regain 'little Paul' at some point.
You know you've stumbled into a hard fight when you start running your thinking bits at FTL and don't realise it.
Because of course second- and possibly third-degree burns are only a minor annoyance to them...
See, you should have led with the cold gun. Freeze her, shatter her and claim the win while her bits are still pulling back together... If they even do that.
- should be closing the door right now, please? Last thing you want is a super-strong, rapid-healing lunatic running riot in the heart of your command centre.
Right, then. Excrement has hit the rotary cooling device and is now being flung about the room. Time to clean up.
...While keeping a very close eye on his innate back-stabbing impulses, of course?
Subtle, aren't they? How very Jagermonster of them...
Heh. Going to be an unpleasant surprise for them when their defences do nothing against your weaponry...
He can be excused for not munchkining the instant teleportation system... Meanwhile, there's that 'Third-degree burns? Bah!' toughness in action.
Sadly, this kind of thing isn't exactly common amongst most space-going cultures...
Resulting in a very worrying situation if you take down the leaders. The Citizenry might flee... They might launch their provider-things. But they will not surrender, that's a given.
...Let's not be in too big a rush on the medical front, eh?
...No big loss, mind. Even if you're trying to be less callous about killing... Some people do deserve it.
Which just leaves the raiders inside.
Really should consider adding an anti-tamper self-destruct or something if you're just going to forget them like that. A small crumbler charge or something in the hilt, maybe.
...I suppose you could say she's been decisively disarmed.
The joy of power armour. Even simple blows are nasty.
No doubt frustrating them to no end. I doubt they're used to any foe this mobile.
Huh. Is this the first time we've seen on of OL's Construct Lanterns speak for itself?
Bah. Dead animals are fodder for growth... But live ones are better.
See, now this is how smart and powerful Construct Lanterns should be. I wonder how much of that is because of OL expecting it to be?
Ah, the end-boss of the scenario has arrived. Time to kick some ass.
That's not a good thing...
It would be more true to say that it's not in their individual interest to kill their host. As a system, both long term infection and short term infection have their merits.
Thank you, corrected.
I think that's correct?
No, but they can create more first order ones.
Yes, but she was in the job so long that it's difficult to remember that she's not in it any longer. It's like, you know Bill Gates isn't running Microsoft any longer, but...
'and the Citizens'
'opened'
'They've'
'Citizens'?
Have you considered a thanatocracy? It's worked great for North Korea and would really put the pretender in his place.
Thank you, corrected.
Either work fine, I think.
If we changed the system just because something else would be better then we'd be no better than foreigners.
Starting to wonder if he actually wants to seem more callous or insane.
I know, right? Only 'almost' beautiful? I guess he's in too much of a rush to appreciate it.
That's a very strange way to call yourself inferior to foreigners.
The WC is no place for playing. Do your business, wash your hands, and get out!
A lot of teenagers find it very convenient for playing, due to the privacy factor that they may have problems getting elsewhere.
