That lantern K'ryssma is not here on a random whim, but investigating that possible anti-Lantern weapon. Hence her question whether any Green Lanterns decided to ditch their duties and start doing something else - like joining OLC. That's my understanding of it, at least.
I couldn't either. So I'm glad you asked before I needed to.
I'm mostly amused at the inclusion of Giganta, Clea and Cheetah in that lineup. Its like they were chosen by a random number generator.Sounds like one of the people Diana used to fight back in the forties.Ah, the forties.Gods bless the Golden Age. Yes, they seem goofy to us, in our time of grim-derp heroes and psychopathic villains. But in their day, they were...
.
My take on it was that he was targeting her with his empathic vision and used the whole recruitment thing as a way to annoy her and put her off her guard, in order to make it easier to read her when he brings up the D'xe thing by having her off balance.
My assumption was along completely different lines: he led the conversation to maximize the potential emotional reaction Lantern K'ryssma had to him bringing up the D'xe so that he can empathically monitor her reaction to judge whether or not he should be worried about the D'xePresumably going looking for the emotions of the Red Ships' crew, poke around to see any motivations there. Probably a big old lump of 'Kaching! Pay-day!' among other things... Though I find myself wondering what the Gyuanites (and Torvite) listening in have to say about this little discussion.
My point is the contrast between Giganta, Cheetah and Clea on one hand and the silly non-entities that makes up the rest of the evil crew.
The... Ring? Brings up the image?
Thank you, corrected.
Thank you, corrected.
Well, then. Looks Like I got it wrong. Just OL being a nosy parker, looking for some dirt. Still, I doubt she missed that little spike of emotion from OL, even from that distance...
It could be worse. You could have an Orange Lantern named Greene. Or Plumm, or any other manner of colour names... And it may well not be pronounced 'sigh-ann' by natives (After all, the lady might be mispronouncing it...)
Yes, that part is just a little suspicious. And I doubt the freelancers could have failed to notice her following them, in-system at least...
In other words: Busted.
I would presume any ring he designed would be far more proactive about its self-destruction... And that of any would-be thieves...
True, the Reach being able to engineer in Spectrum usage into its Beetles would probably be bad. Especially if they set it up so less emotional focus is required.
And I have realised I missed the line yesterday about OL sitting in a cafe with his partner. Not going to edit my comments about the Gyuanites out, though. Just adjust them... Still, imagine if they were sitting there listening to this... Would have torpedoed any diplomacy after hearing that!
I like the subtle unspoken "It does... For now."
She might take a moment to comprehend that, given her world may not have gorillas. Or pounds. But the implication is clear enough.
"Because clearly you are trying to make a point about something."
So, a definite, "Don't call me, I'll call you. Maybe." She'll probably change her tune is things go ploin-shaped.
Depends on how different Orange Rings are to Green. Their technicians are no doubt eager to begin reverse-engineering both as best they can.
Or, you know, there are things he can't tell the League, because Corps business.
Wouldn't she be in a Sciencell by now? Would the Guardians have released her anytime soon?
Why would they? They already had two perfectly fine Lanterns on duty. Guy was, at best, a candidate, in their eyes, even if he did briefly serve. And the Guardians probably don't worry too much about a secondary candidate getting into trouble, if they aren't an active Lantern...
And tell them what? That maybe a rogue former Green Lantern may be in the system? Their response would probably be "The Green lantern will handle it, then."
Pfft, no. Greenies get to swing their figurative dicks and get privileged expedited transit, I bet.
Yep. Benefit of being seen as space cops. Rather than space soldiers.
Why not? It'll keep confusing the Reach, if nothing else.
Ah, the joy of popping in unannounced... You get to hear snippets of all manner of fascinating conversations...
Really need to get a bell or something for those jaunts into 'friendly' locations, OL.
They've had plenty of time to talk about it amongst themselves, after all.
Then he can get back to his enforced vacation they call a 'transit time'. Maybe he can hang around for a few days, buy some souvenirs.
Indeed? Ask away, uh... Whoever you are?
So, are you trying to be funny, or...?
Wouldn't want to encourage anyone into flipping to the Reach, after all.
...so a little honesty might go a long way here."
Are hunting rifles cheaper than beds?
Going to put my hand up, here. I added that line when I realised it wasn't clear that the SI had left the room.
Thank you, corrected.
Depends on the rifle and the bed, I'm sure.
It depends, but I have guns I would trust against gorillas,* and they were cheaper than my bed. The problem is, even if you shoot the 800lb gorilla sleeping in your bed? You still have 800lbs of dead gorilla you have to move off your bed. You haven't solved your problem; you've just created a different problem.
Right. The gorilla's death doesn't matter. I would have to get a new bed anyways.
It's the principle.
Come to think of it, a lot of beds probably couldn't handle the weight.
I mean realistically I'd just quietly leave the house and call animal control. And probably tell them that there's a "huge animal in my bedroom, I'm not sure what it is, maybe a bear or large boar?" because calling about a gorilla in your house is liable to be dismissed as a prank call. But anyway, there are people whose job it is to deal with that; let it be their problem.
