I was rereading this part when I noticed these errors. We refer to them as "Transformers" out of universe, but in-universe they refer to themselves and introduce themselves as "Cybertronians".
him up my ring. -> him up with my ring.
Or your subjective idea of what is considered murder is wrong.
If you consider "murder" the act of killing someone, then assimilation may or may not fit that description. If you consider them going from whatever they were to becoming a construct-lantern dying, then it fits. But if you simply consider it a form of transformation, like what Circe does to people when she turns them into animals, then it doesn't fit. I feel as though the Furies use a spell that allows anyone who thinks they were murdered by their target to come back to help them out as that way they can kill more people.
Alt!Nabu's just salty because he can't go on a killing spree in the name of 'Order'. Still, Identity Theft is basically killing someone, OL. Consider yourself lucky that nearly all your victims have deserved it.
Hopefully at a slower rate than her controlled state. Since I doubt even Tisiphone could maintain her hold after a Thunderbolt upside the head.
Ideally one equipped to handle superhumanly tough and strong physiologies. I remember a storyline with the Avengers having to try to perform surgery on Luke Cage. Turns out bullet-resistant skin is equally proof against scalpels...
Honestly, these young guys strike me as having been fresh rookies when the Anti-Life happened. So they'd probably have been fielded with people who actually knew how to do this stuff...
...Well, I suppose he's not wrong. Just... Incomplete.
Language!
No doubt keeping his slaves alive wasn't a priority for Mannheim.
Maybe add some arcane chains, just in case?
...Yes, evidently the Alliance didn't mind recruiting younger capes if they were halfway powerful, I see. Good of you to consider the other lads' feeling, though.
At this point, he might well wish he were... If he were awake.
As long as they don't make any injuries worse by doing so. Sometimes stuff like armour is the only thing holding together someone's bits after a hit like that.
Ah, good eye, rookie. That'd be the tech hero, huh?
To be fair, for a tinker-type cape, such things can be as exciting as, well...
What else would get a teenage boy excited?Ah, still getting used to using the 'made-up names' huh? Don't worry, even OL took time to get the hang of it.
If they were as bad as it sounds, they may well have been inhibiting his mobility. Scar tissue isn't as flexible as normal skin, after all.
Whatever happens, at least you two don't have to worry too much, as the more senior heroes will handle the tricky stuff.
Huh. I bet he signed up as much as for access to better working facilities as for the heroic drive...
And I doubt he'd want to have the Apokaliptian stuff around as a reminder of things... So, bonus?
And if Tissy is still in residence, she might need another hit or two to calm down.
...Good question. And, more interestingly, if it's not on-planet, how did she manage to maintain the connection to Fury if Olympus is sealed away?
And it would likely fall to Hephaestean to administer any punishments to her. Being her boss and all, more or less.
Ah, good, the evil rage beast isn't in residence. That's one less worry to deal with.
Well, I doubt Tissy could put on any kind of acting, so it's a safe bet this is Lyta Hall once more.
Probably with a bit of a headache, real or imagined, and questions about many things.
So she has some idea of what happened... I can but hope those memories aren't shared in detail between host and rider.
And get the lady reunited with her husband and son before she gets too focused on her rider's actions...
Murdering or being Murdered leaves both a mark on the soul, and a connection between the murderer and murderee in DC/Hellblazer.
What's to say Tisiphone isn't the one rules lawyering? She's already doing it by going after the Alliance members under the belief that being affected by the Anti-Life doesn't mean they are exempt from being murdered by her.
'a good reading'?
But that was Paul rules lawyering to try and claim they were not responsible for their actions.
Hm.
Thank you, corrected.
Here are the other corrections that should say 'Cybertronian'.
The SI would call them 'transformers', but I've changed the rest.
Well they aren't exactly living their best lives right now are they? Could argue they are in purgatory right now.
Found a typo in the recent edit. That should say 'Cybertronians'.
Thank you, corrected.
Attorney-Client Privilege is typically presumed waived if the attorney and client willing communicate in a place or via means that lack privacy. Though in a setting like a private discussion room in police custody, this statement to the guards wouldn't need to be said.
Ah, back to Peter and his little legal situation. And evidently he's not in the best of physical shape these days, I see. An old knife-related neck injury, if I remember the previous snippet's implications right. Plus the inevitable issues of growing older.
A psychosomatic reaction, I see. Triggered by the stress of the fighting, and the use of the Gravity Rod?
I mean, if he has a scar, it'd probably be fairly visible even with the weird necklines of the 'Beyond' era's fashion.
Man, forty years old, probably with the firm for over fifteen, and he's still the one getting sent out on work too sensitive for the interns, huh?
Ooh, yes. That was a whole mess of stupidity. Especially the assumptions concerning placental transfer prevalent at the time...
...To be fair, I can't imagine they had ladies lining up to join the trials.
On the upside, they definitely learned not to make that assumption again, for the most part.
And the lady super-crooks can be far more vicious than the men.
Surprised that none of your scientists had devised a more potent healing treatment. Or had they, and that's one of the reasons you don't sound like a grinding motor when you talk? Or can talk at all.
...Okay, yeah, there was no way she was going to ever be stable, with that history.
Ah, time for the idle chit-chat to make way for business.
To be fair, black sclerae in a human generally never signify anything good. And look damn creepy to boot. Does he still have the tiny pencilled-on looking moustache?
Ah, covering his arse like the professional he is. He'll go far.
And especially given the way Cuvier was misusing it. Basically feeding a weird-ass fashion trend, if a common Cyberpunk one...
Oh, him.
Yes, I can imagine him being unpopular in Peter's view.Basically, not someone you should ever trust to work with gene-modding technology. It'd be like putting the fox in charge of the henhouse.
Yeah, catgirls are rarely unattractive, in fiction at least. Though when they aren't... The uncanny valley hits hard.
Oh, hell no. That'd be like giving an addict a free shot.
Just as long as he doesn't overdo it when he finally can.
...Bit iffy, putting the blame on specific 'cultural' groups. Though from what I understand the system was safe enough if you didn't go overboard.
This is why I like Cyberpunk's approach to it, as linked above. That and the other forms of biosculpting they can do. Imagine having a 'quick-change' mount for your groin, if you know what I mean? Since it is a setting where the core rulebook's cybernetic mods include fake penises and vaginas.
...A heavily biased version of the episode's events, but ironically mostly truthful... From a certain point of view.
Admittedly, given the kind of corporate interests involved, that may be a walkover. Just a matter of getting there.
Though I suspect they'll end up having to leave Gotham anyway...
"Not in detail, no. I know they would have had to do some-."
I could see them as more friendly rivals.
Thank you, corrected.
Let's not pretend that we don't know who commits most violent crime.
Batman of the Future. I'm British, after all.
