Hephestean would probably have words with you if you assimilated her. Mostly words between his hammer and your head. Probably consisting of 'thump' and 'ow'.
Thank you, corrected.
The problem is he's got a ring powered by Want. Impulsiveness is a feature.
Giving it's largely an intimidation technique, that can imply you intend to challenge the other for dominance, no doubt. Or if you're already the dominant partner, that you consider them no higher than the thralls they rule... A mortal insult, I wager.
Not to mention the implied decadence of his mobile palace and his attendants, and the casting of such an androgynous actor. Because in those days, the heroes were manly men, not effeminate dilettantes.
And Evil is lewd, donchaknow?Ah, I see the asshole took something too far and is now on the outs with his allies. But Mammon knows he's not powerful enough to defend two worlds, especially a valuable resource-producer.
So, escalated his atrocities in the name of law and order, eh? Or at least cowing his populace into staying quiet.
And it says a lot that his concern is more for what he's owed than the people Am-Heh is ruling with a bloody hand.
In other words, she can't send a punitive expedition to chastise and replace the renegade. And not without making others wonder if they could be next on the block.
And no doubt she'll be watching closely to learn how he'll do it, and whether he'll think of doing it to her next.
I suppose old Mammon would have had license to discipline Goa'uld who could or would not pay their taxes...
Ah, such a polite way to say 'kill his ass, but not in a way it can be traced to either of us.'
Yes, something of an issue for Pauls that haven't learned to be crafty or sneaky. Though they often substitute other flight methods instead.
Let me guess, modified jaffa guard armour, possibly without the big-ass helmet? Or replicaetd human designs.
Not that they'd ever feel the need to employ it except to make their own life easier. Because fuck the slaves.
Ah, he's going to be performing his first assimilation?
Heh, an angry sort of desire. Impatient, urgent and close to all-consuming, though, so it's super effective.
Because any shield system that can prevent hostile gas attacks can just as easily prevent breathable air from reaching the wearer, and I doubt the Goa'uld's tech can differentiate that well.
I would suspect it decreases depending on duration. A few months? Hardly anything. A few years, the host might retain some of the parasite's traits... Centuries? The human mind isn't built to last that long... Not without goa'uld rejuvenation, anyway.
All things the traditionalist Goa'uld likely consider too much effort to apply for the sake of lesser beings.
Somehow, I don't think Greed is his main emotion. Fear, pretty good chance. Rage, even more so...
...Well, that was anti-climactic. I suppose the symbiote doesn't have enough self-image to resist the identity theft process.
I suspect the host would welcome death at this stage...
"I thought it would take you longer than this. You do fast work, Mammon." Well, she wouldn't say it but you can tell she's thinking it.
Ah, memory absorption feedback, eh? Still, having access to their tech database... That's worth the headache.
...Okay, that's worrying, but hopefully because it's a construct, it won't be able to influence him, since it can take no action he does not will it to.
Hmm. Having a more private chat, eh? Though it shows surprising trust in him, given that he removed Am-Heh by unknown means...
Heset, eh? Goddess of food and drink. Appropriate for a planet which supplies others.
Ooh... How much to tell her, and how to say it in a way that doesn't set her on guard?
Because of course he has spies in his kingdom. Hopefully she isn't aware of his encounter with the Earth explorers.
Not an inaccurate description of what an Orange Ring does, but couched in language she'd understand. Nice touch suggesting it was an Ancient artefact.
Which she may find concerning, depending on where those wants turn.
Well, talk about scoring well on a diplomacy check!
The precise details are left to the queen who bears them...
Considering Bastet's long partnership with Kali, he might need to "acquire a new host" first.
I will turn the energy field into a snake and consume it.
They always looked more like lamprey to me.
Thnak you, corrected.
As far as I remember, he said a few words and didn't move. Granted, his body was badly injured, but I wouldn't take that as proof that they're fine. Baal's host hobbled under his own power, but he was a clone and onliy a few years old.
Someone remind Zoat there was someone on SG1 who had been a Goa'uld host for 20 some years.
Halfway is rule 28. So, at
So I wonder is Mammon Paul fully deced out in Goa'uld tech?
