taking things seriously is overrated
Yeah, this was pretty expected.
It was dominators I'm pretty sure psions are extinct in this timeline.
Left or dead, I expect. Another casualty of the Anti-Life. And there's probably a great many more like that, human impositions of order upon Nature slowly devolving back into wilderness as the months go on. A great many fields going fallow, for example...
It's not a matter of competency, though. It's a matter of desire.
He is basically a soldier ant, after all. To actually have a defined task to focus on is probably better for him.
And then they'll send him on to the next, and the next after that, most likely.
Now if only more Orange Lanterns could manage that sort of 'work for work's sake' mentality. They'd probably find a lot of use in reconstruction.
...Humanity was kind of adapting to Anti-Life. Not well, and not happily, but people are decent at adapting to a new everyday.
In this case, it's more a case of 'improved' and 'lessened'. I'm guessing she was a lot less... Adaptable? Proactive? Before the scientists' fiddling.
Welcome to being a rational, sophont being. There are sometimes no easy answers in some situations.
Definitely seems happier when he doesn't have to think for himself.
Moving to a whole new region, a whole new farm to work on would be a big uprooting, and a lot of the farms that still have family running them are probably concentrating on keeping together for now.
That is a very good point. We know they got Barda back, but the Question and Black orchid? Still unknown statuses.
To some degree, this is going to be more like building an entirely new city on the site of the old. Especially if they begin replacing older, rundown buildings still in use as they go, moving people form the old to the new.
And in the case of an Orange Lantern, it gives him something that is his.
Ah, the date went well, then? Let's hear it, unless you're playing the 'A Gentleman doesn't kiss and tell' card.
Ah, all polite and not hopping into bed on the first date? How old-fashioned, Alan.
...That is honestly about what we expected, even if OL didn't.
A sample size of one is kind of hard to compare.
Admittedly, that's probably how things are done on her world. In certain circles, anyway.
So the night wasn't a complete waste, at least.
Good on you, Alan. Getting back in the saddle isn't easy after being on the bench for so long.
Well, he's got time now, so no rush.
Well, either they'll get along, or they'll try to kill each other.
...That'd be one heck of a day trip.
You do remember he's been trying to break people of the habit of expecting that, right?
Yeah, he'll need it...
Also Empress, especially as she had a fragment of the Anti-Life Equation ripped from her mind and/or soul.
Lex Luther: Finally someone who understands!
Yeah, I realised that after editing that bit in, so edited it back out - you ninja-replied apparently!
I don't remember that. What comic was that in?
Thank you, corrected.
Your correction needs correcting...
Extraneous 'now'
Thank you, corrected.
The problem there is that they'd be loyal to Great Mother first of all.
Pssst! Diana is right there. Just give her a ring.
Don't worry. I make up stuff about this story, and I wrote it.
Erm, by "ring" I meant "call."
