With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

[Mr Zoat]

I have no idea what's happening with them so I'm just going to assume they're bankrupt

You..? Really?

In that case, welcome to the internet. They were bough by Disney, and for reasons I can't talk about on this website for another 12 years or so, profits have not been good.

General reminder that you ceded authority on this matter to Arisia and the Green Lantern Corps.

Which means you flying off like a petulant child means they should automatically rule against you because that's how law works when one side runs away.

According to WHICH law, exactly? Because the Green Lantern Corps has virtually no authority over the Orange Lanterns, while Earth and Daxam laws don't affect each other either.

In fact, if we use the Daxamites' own logic and apply to this situation, Earth would be within its rights to shoot down and exterminate any Daxamite that comes near it. Not so fun to have a "shoot all aliens on sight" policy when you're the alien in this situation, isn't it?

Looks like Arisia might be upgrading Daxam from 'place we leave to its own devices' to 'place we actively quarantine'.

I don't think it would take much to make the Daxamites run amuck: Something that makes enough of them start to think that as long as non-Daxamites exist, in the long run they will pollute Daxam with their non-Daxamite-ness. Only in a universe where no aliens exist will the Daxamites be totally safe, and they might think that they can make it so.

I will also point out that suspected child kidnapping and rumours about suspected child kidnapping is a pretty common triggering factor for modern lynch mobs.

@Mr Zoat so is this bolded bit

I chuck the slab of crystal through the boom tube, fire another burst of energy at my pursuers and then step through after it.

"Okay, so it turns out that the Daxamite elders are total hypocrites."

Karsta picks up the chirurgeon engine and attaches it to Kara's pod as the tube shuts down.

"Imagine my surprise."

"Yeah, they're fine using advanced technology to prop up their control. They had sunstones!"

just Grayven viewing them in a negative light? Your more recent comments imply the Daxamites just use the advanced technology in what they view as emergencies.
