Careful, this is how you get The Cakening, part 2. Then again, after all the shit that's gone down, maybe everyone on Earth would appreciate some free cake with no strings attached.
'They've'
'I think'
'Decorative'?
Well put. That's exactly what I was thinking about that debate.
Reporting in, I see. Presumably Batman doesn't need the face-to-face report, given their Rings, but this does provide a chance for on-the-spot feedback. And from the sound of it, that's what OL is looking for.
Indeed, if either of you were in that big a rush, a simple packet transfer would cover the specifics of the report.
Good to know he's got that angle covered. ...Not sure I'd trust the Hub City folks with sole control of the facility, after all.
That's more of a long-term plan. And if the League hasn't gotten that covered by then, well...
So one more responsibility for OL to occasionally monitor in between all his other jobs...
In other words, the League isn't averse to people pulling that shit, as long as they're prepared to toe the line and play ball? But, if someone tries to warlord it up in their own little fief, they'll get a stern visit from someone...
Ah, that's going to bug OL for days now.
Eh, I don't see him having that much luck. Heck, the elder Doctor might be offended that OL's asking him to replicate something aliens already worked out.
Good plan. There's always bound to be something he's missed.
Wise move to avoid setting off a person with deadly aim.
Oh, he's perceptive.
Opening with the important questions, huh?
Heh. Given Hub City's reputation in the country, it improving would be impressive.
He might be able to bring it up to average at the very least.
He hasn't been around kids very much, has he?
One of the tricky aspects of superhero masks. Still, better than having drawn-on ones.
Sounds a bit depressing on Ollie's end. Still, he's a busy man.
...Okay, a green thumb is not his strong suit, huh?
Which also rules out fake plants, naturally.
Typical OL response, really. Offering a ludicrously over-engineered response to a perceived 'problem'...
Ah, time for some more philosophical musings.
Well, it'd be different, certainly. Better or worse, that's the hard part to predict.
Hmm. I doubt he'd go for it. Unlike Artemis, he's too invested in bows as his thing to adjust to the altered performance.
Though as noted, any government above the local level seems to be struggling with current events.
And trying not to do it is one of those Orange Light things that can make you a little crazy... If anything, I'm surprised he hasn't been more pushy about upgrading, given his desires towards civic and cultural improvement. Presumably the Dolmen Gates thing has been diverting most of that drive.
You'll note he didn't say anything about how they'd go about stopping him if he did, mind. No doubt Batman has plans.
During the bit where OL was visiting their compound on Venus, it was mentioned that the Sivanas already invented their own bleed generator from scratch.
"The children yearn for the
Thank you, corrected.
Directly stop him with force? I mean, it's Earth, so there's people who could do it with a decent plan.
I was thinking more of a Parallax scenario, but regardless 'going crazy' often implies acting like you no longer care about what you did before.
Yes but there aren't any x-ionised weapons either. So did he pick up any enhancements from the same exchange?
I'm not completely sure, but I don't think I've ever played a Spider-Man game.
No. He wouldn't know what to ask for, and it would be a bit of a risk with viltrumites watching him.
D.A. Sinclair can do some pretty good work.
Provided you're okay with being turned into a crazed cyborg.
SIs have done worse to themselves
That should say 'role'.
That should say 'built'.
That should say 'the'.
A pity, since I suspect a few of the Amazons might appreciate some male guests, aliens or not. Still, good to see she's taking her side of the arrangement seriously enough to have facilities built for it.
Ooh, a good question. Do they count as 'unmanned' enough to not trouble the blessings?
Yeah, the latter group would not be 'mortal' enough to be trouble on that front.
Ah, the misanthropic nerds who don't deal well with people. Understandable.
But assistants who can actually do what they're told, well... That's worth far more than anything.
Of course there are jokes about such guys.
Well, at least they're nicer about such things, I guess. Though if it's anything like their airspace warding, there's probably someone getting an alert that he tried it.
Handy! I wonder what kind of security they have on it, though?
Sounds like a very sensibly planned-out setup. Good to see actual competence.
Unless it has some kind of biometric security. Maybe a drop of blood from the expected wearer when it's reset?
I wonder how much effort that took Giovanni Zatara to work out? Since he was the league's only mage for so long...
There's an interesting mythological cut for you. Dike, goddess of justice. And no, it's not a misspelling of Nike.
Heck, they've advanced enough thaumaturgy to make the thing float if they needed to. Though flying castles are probably a bit of a waste of energy, and the spells would probably interfere with the workshops...
Some very expensive custom work, I bet.
Security, or safety systems, I bet. Just in case something in a workshop goes sky-high.
Ah, the mystical equivalent or airlocks or pressure doors, then.
Very well thought-out system, I see. They'd had centuries, if not millennia, to hone their safety practices to perfection.
Pity Sephtian is busy back in Atlantis, or you could bring him here for a consultation and maybe a vacation...
Well, whatever it is must be impressive.
Oooh, did someone make a spelljammer?
Somehow, I don't think she'll be too worried about that.
Oh-ho! Well, now, that is a surprise. Why do I get the feeling the maiden voyage will be a little interesting?
Though I have to wonder how Lord Hades will take people using his antechamber region as a transit terminal. Ah well, forgiveness and permission and all that.
Swanky! She's really waving all the flags, isn't she?
Thank you, corrected.
This is going to end up like the spider queen isn't it..
Huh? So you'll have Dike goddess of lesbians bless your severs to protect against penetration?
