Especially if said Sector is in dire need of policing? I suppose it comes down to whether the local space-going powers agree to Green lantern oversight. I'm sure there are regions who encountered and refused such an offer... Besides Reach space, and New Gods-ruled worlds.
Not a fair comparison, Guy. Was Malvolio wiping out rival cultures and species? Was he conquering violently? Or was he just acting as a member of the aristocracy of his day would be expected to: protecting those lands he's in charge of.
Very astute, Malvolio. And to be fair, you do need someone watching you, keep you from making any more blunders like the ones that got you confined in the first place... Better it be someone you know and can trust.
I suppose that's fair too. I mean, it was kind of his fault, since his confinement of you evidently prevented him tending to the sector at large... Why he didn't call for aid from the Guardians, get a second Lantern assigned, I don't know...
Yeah, that would sting. But did you maybe consider he had good reasons for doing so?
It would look that way to you, I suppose.
See, if you two had just talked back then, maybe you wouldn't have spent all that time confined... Alas, Green Light Stubbornness...
Unless you plan to fight the entire Green Lantern Corps? Do you understand that means up to 7200 Lanterns, all potentially as powerful as you? Sooner or later, one of them would have brought you down, especially if they sent larger taskforces...
...He didn't, did he? Didn't he learn not to go by briefings alone from OL?
Argh... Guy, you dipstick. You should know better than this.
Always double-check your intel. Get local data as backup. Your boss might not always tell you what you need to know, only what they think you need...
Well, easy assumption to make, brain that big... Assuming his central mass is larger than a human head and torso.
Assuming people prioritised keeping such info in that time. Worst case, you might need to conduct local interviews...
The Domesday Book, for reference (if you missed the link in the text.) One of the largest surveys and censuses in the world, especially at that time. At least Malvolio can guarantee an easier time than some of the crews working on it.
Malvolio's carrying a pretty big stick, Guy. Do you want him beating you with it, or would you prefer to continue speaking softly?
In this case, neither condition applies. If a valid alternative had presented themselves during Malvolio's confinement, the Sector wouldn't be in this mess.
More importantly, did anyone but Priest receive that order?
Because, like so many other things, the Guardians don't like to have their failures known...
Guy, let it go. He's not going to become a Green Lantern. No matter how much you might want him... Ah. Now I get it. Your little assignment to 'study esoteric Green Lantern techniques'. You want to learn how he's doing what he's doing, don't you? But since he's not a Green lantern officially...
Yes, as much fun as little digressions can be, they do have a bigger topic at hand...
And I don't doubt that he's confident enough to think he can do so. Even in the face of Escalation that would make the Memetic Taylor Hebert go, "That seems a bit much..."
Heh. Yeah, Priest does seem to have that level of skill, doesn't he? Though the Ring makes some things so much easier, I expect.
Well, summed up like that, it doesn't sound too tough, does it?
Of course, Guy's got to swing it with the Guardians. But I expect they'll take Ion's Host's word for it. Though not entirely happily, I bet.
Well, then. Big conflict done. All that remains is to drop the barrier, get Priest his ring back and get back to that little pilgrimage Malvolio was on before you interrupted him... Unless another party plans on interfering in matters, at least. I would hope Sinestro has enough sense not to poke the 800-pound gorilla.
