I just realized that the Renegade parts are all missing the world "supplementary". The previous ones in Episode 141: Break Time also had the word come after "Renegade option" instead of before like you used to do.Reconstruction (Renegade option)

Thank you, corrected.Since this is based on your knowledge, you may wish to leave this, but according to the Smithsonian Magazine and wikipedia, the most common gas they were warning of was carbon monoxide not CH4. It wasn't exclusive of course, other toxic gasses accumulate underground in various combinations and concentrations.

I'll fix it shortly.I just realized that the Renegade parts are all missing the world "supplementary". The previous ones in Episode 141: Break Time also had the word come after "Renegade option" instead of before like you used to do.
Edit: Found the last example of how you used to post the Renegade parts. It was in Episode 138: Pyrrhucy.
Even with conventional firearms, there's a general guidance that if you have to shoot someone, don't be surprised if you don't get it back. If the use was legal self defense, you should get it returned, but it's also become evidence, and, well, it's often not worth the expense of fighting vs just spending a couple hundred bucks and buying a replacement. Not to mention that a gun in evidence is not going to be maintained for that period, so the condition could be suboptimal.For a country that recognises gun ownership as a constitutional right, American police can get surprisingly shirty about me having it.
The prequel trilogy wasn't great, it just looks good now, because of how bad the sequel trilogy is.
The Phantom Menace
it really, really doesn't
Would be kinda funny if there was an SI that got dropped directly into the Batman Beyond world... or better yet into Zeta Project. And then they cross over.
Convincing Dr. Cuvier to accept my firm's legal representation
. Bit of a risk if there's a sniper watching out for me, but I doubt that's the case here
Not a good look to be helping the psycho.
Granted, you've probably done it lots of times.
if for no other reason that accepting it gives the police the right to rewrite any genetics that they don't like.
If you missed out on catgirl nookie I will absolutely loose any respect I might have for you Peter.Now there's a woman I haven't seen for a while. Always thought that it was a shame things didn't work out with her and Grayson. And that she never had children. I used to say that I was disinterested in that myself, but after Barbara 'cured' herself that… Ah… That was almost the first thing we did.
Oh, my. Not unexpected, since we knew he loved Doctor Minerva regardless of how she looked. I can definitely understand her reluctance to have children though, especially if her... Condition could be inherited. Still hope Nightwing ended up with Starfire, mind.Earth 12

Now there's a woman I haven't seen for a while. Always thought that it was a shame things didn't work out with her and Grayson. And that she never had children. I used to say that I was disinterested in that myself, but after Barbara 'cured' herself that… Ah… That was almost the first thing we did.
Plus, I doubt Cosmic Rods or anything like that have the fine precision needed for the task.And if the amount you love your children can be measure by the amount of their excrement you have to clean up… Well, I know that most of my alter-egos use their power rings for that sort of thing, but I think that doing it manually was a bonding experience.
"…a hero."
Not off to the best start, Peter.
No doubt a few such moments of backsliding courtesy of his more unstable researchers, eh? Never mind criminal organisations looking to get a little cash or tech by hostage-taking."You took a hit from a rocket that would have totalled the bus and everyone on it. Then you didn't break a sweat when they took you prisoner."
"It's not the first time."
What is the current era's attitude towards superhumans, anyway? Polite acknowledgement? Disgruntled annoyance? Haven't really watched any 'Batman Beyond'."You wanna fill in the blanks for me?"
I look at her for a moment-. Ah.
Ooh, that's a cold response. Does she actually know why Peter's here, or..."You don't recognise me, do you?" She raises her eyebrows a little. "We haven't seen each other for over forty years, so it's… I just sort of assumed that Mister Young might have mentioned that I was visiting." I hold out my right hand. "Peter Wynne."
"Oh." She takes my hand loosely for about half a second. "And you came on a bus?"
I'm sure anyone who was willing to take on that job would know he habitually carries a"I assumed that it was possible to drive through Gotham safe from highway pirates." She looks unimpressed. "Look, it was either drive all the way here which would take hours, fly in and rent a car or fly in and use a bus. The bus was less hassle."
"You don't think you were the target?"
...Also that. And the last thing you want is dozens of former supervillains on a rampage with their various schizotech devices."They didn't say anything about wanting me in particular. And… Most criminal gangs who actually know who I am realise that… Ah… If anything happened to me…"
"Your employees would take it personally. Your supervillain employees."
Ooh. I'm guessing that time he wasn't quite quick enough with the personal shield.A couple of uniformed officers look around from interviewing the other bus passengers.
"Ah…" I reach up to rub my neck with my right hand, feeling the small scar. "It's not a completely reliable defence, but it does mean that some people think twice. Apparently, not venom-users."
You know any other super-drugs that give people enhanced strength and durability? Without the drawbacks of physical alterations?She glances back to where the more heavily armoured police are frog-marching the Envenomed into police transport aircraft.
"We don't know it's venom. Unless there's something you wanna tell me?"
...Ah, she didn't hear yet? Awkward.I shrug. "Venom has virtually no medical uses. My laboratories could make it, but so could most modern secondary school chemistry labs."
"Why are you in Gotham, anyway? Recruiting again?"
Unless you want the Gotham City Police Department to suffer some massive financial damage..."Oh, ah… I'm here to talk you and Mister Young into resigning before I sue you."
"Tcha-." She blinks, her eyes widening. "Excuse me?"
Of course not. He's a businessman, not a scientist!"That drug you had your police force use on the splicers. Where do you think it was developed?"
She frowns. "That was-." Her frown deepens. "You made it?"
Ah, clamming up? Well, I suppose she does know her legal standing and stuff."My late wife and her team made it. What I'm curious about, if you didn't know that, is where you got it from."
She considers me for a moment. "There's no way you don't know. And there's no way I'm giving you ammunition for a completely frivolous lawsuit."
Or develop sapient super-cancer. Honestly, do you not get 'schizotech' as a concept?"No, this is what we can do instead of a lawsuit. So far, my legal firm is just gathering information. But if it turns out that anyone that you used it on suffers any ill-effects because you didn't share information with the company that actually knows how it works, that's off the table, and you would be responsible for whatever those consequences were."
"Like what, they turn into regular humans?"
And be glad it happens fast because Comic Book universe. Real world, people don't just spontaneously mutate. Shit like that just kills us."And it was intended to be used in a controlled medical environment, after taking a full genetic workup of the person it was being used on. The risk of negative effects if you don't take proper precautions is quite high. In our tests, brain damage was actually quite common, because the brain isn't really designed to have parts grow or shrivel up in a few seconds and it doesn't recover. Losing the body parts responsible for magnetoreception can actually cause strokes due to the electrical discharges. Rapid changes to blood chemistry-."
Which he can safely assume there is evidence of, given the Commisioner's apparent lack of knowledge concerning side-effects."Fine. Do you want your doctors to have access to the suspects?"
"The question is: do you? Because the moment that my people have access they will use that to gather evidence of your department's negligence."
Going by the episode summaries, they seemed pretty resistant to more conventional routes. And the bad guy did mutate himself into a giant monster."I don't want them dead."
"Good. Good. And then there's the decision that you made in using it in the first place."
I mean, how long did the whole emergency last? Couple of hours from Batman butting in to Cuvier going mini-godzilla? I doubt even Gotham courts can work that fast."I'm not going to apologise for taking down violent criminals."
"You and Mister Young gave yourself the authority to rewrite the DNA of Gotham citizens at will. Administering drugs like that to unwilling patients requires a court order for each instance that you did not have."
...Good point. I doubt the sheepguy, snake lady or catgirl were bullet-proof, even if the latter might have been fast enough to dodge them."I do have the authority to do whatever is necessary to stop them when they're in the middle of committing crimes!"
"Whatever is necessary, yes. But it's an objective test. Injecting yourself with sheep DNA doesn't make you immune to standard stun rounds or gas grenades. Barbara-."
Since she wasn't the 'empowered by mystic totem' version, after all. That one had superspeed and could fight Diana toe-to-toe."What?"
"No, not-. Barbara Minerva. Cheetah. Was arrested by normal police three times, and that was with the equipment police had forty years ago."
Kind of a dangerous tack to take, especially if the press get a hold of that idea."Your wife."
"So as you can understand, I know her case very well. Being as strong as an unusually strong sheep does not necessitate a full genetic rewrite, if for no other reason that accepting it gives the police the right to rewrite any genetics that they don't like."
Welp, there goes any chance of playing nice with the GCPD."I can't believe-." She shakes her head and turns to leave. "You can deal with our lawyers."
"Alright. I will."
Well, Gotham is simply too insane to be handled by any ordinary person. That's where the Batfamily came in. And then they left.I take a breath, then let it out. That was always a long shot. But it's always sad when good people end up doing things like this. She's probably done a lot of good work, but…
What am I saying? This city is the hub of a network of Joker-themed criminal gangs. If Gotham -the place that suffered most from the Joker's attention- has that, then the person who is supposed to be policing it clearly isn't up to the job.
Heh. Making one hell of a statement, then.The police are blocking off the road, and the traffic jam is already large enough that there's no way that I'm going to get a taxi here. I could charter an aircraft, but…
But I have a small aircraft pilot's licence for a reason.
And perhaps considering him as a possible future hire, I guess.I pop open my case and fish out the gravity rod. Bit of a risk if there's a sniper watching out for me, but I doubt that's the case here. No one.. looking…
I press the 'flight' button and hold the gravity rod aloft, rising above the road and leaving the crime scene below me. I've got my meeting with Mr. Young where I'm going to cover those exact points again, and then…
Convincing Dr. Cuvier to accept my firm's legal representation.
Everyone hopes Nightwing ended up with Starfire.

Even IRL, there are a lot of people who idolize real-life murderers. I don't think the cops can stop gang crime, and I don't think any force on Earth can keep people from being idiots.What am I saying? This city is the hub of a network of Joker-themed criminal gangs.

Heck, there are people today who romanticize and water-carry for horrible things from a few decades ago. Or even their own lifetime.
Or current affairs.
I'd be more specific, but that road leads to politics.
'than that accepting'?Being as strong as an unusually strong sheep does not necessitate a full genetic rewrite, if for no other reason that accepting it gives the police the right to rewrite any genetics that they don't like."
I thought it looked fantastic then, I still do. The movies were and remain, magnificent.The prequel trilogy wasn't great, it just looks good now, because of how bad the sequel trilogy is.
Thank you, corrected.
I'm not sure that Starfire even exists in this setting. I don't remember any Earth 12 story -animated or comic- with her in it. Nightwing was certainly single when he showed up in the comics as an older man.Oh, my. Not unexpected, since we knew he loved Doctor Minerva regardless of how she looked. I can definitely understand her reluctance to have children though, especially if her... Condition could be inherited. Still hope Nightwing ended up with Starfire, mind.
They do, but you've got to really work the controls. Or hope that the mental imprint control decides to work properly.Plus, I doubt Cosmic Rods or anything like that have the fine precision needed for the task.
None, because he doesn't. He has the gravity rod, the early version which Starman stopped using.I'm sure anyone who was willing to take on that job would know he habitually carries a Cosmic Rod...
No, he turned himself into a giant snake. It helped. Terry is the one who turned him into a monster by stabbing him with spicing syringes.
Thank you, corrected.
To borrow a line from Red Letter Media: who was the main character of A New Hope? And who was the main character of Phantom Menace?I thought it looked fantastic then, I still do. The movies were and remain, magnificent.

i don't remember this episode in Batman Beyond but what the issue with the genetic mod ?
"One of the benefits of being highly beloved and respected by unhinged individuals with a loose set of morals and only a passing respect for law and order."They didn't say anything about wanting me in particular. And… Most criminal gangs who actually know who I am realise that… Ah… If anything happened to me…"
"Your employees would take it personally. Your supervillain employees."
Assumed Bruce would have told her or after Peter's office called her husband's office she would have known. Probably not gonna be happy about feeling getting jumped like that when she realizes that 2 people should have been aware and told her.
Imagine if that snake cult gets the idea to dial back their plans to use this precedent to be worked till they have the authority to make everyone scaly in a century. Legally.Kind of a dangerous tack to take, especially if the press get a hold of that idea.
Wonder if he'll get sued for that.No, he turned himself into a giant snake. It helped. Terry is the one who turned him into a monster by stabbing him with spicing syringes.
