Dogs and drunks have occasionally been that stupid, though it's also possible that they did touch it, since the angle makes it thankfully unseen.
Just not in the way some tabloids might have tried to suggest, shortly before Lex would have them sued out of business for it.
Ah, no. Mitchell is pointing out that Lex didn't need to bother with a Superman replacement. If a covert murder attempt worked, he could just carry on with his day.
If it is just his soul you are concerned about then there are infinitely easier ways of doing it than trying to drag his extremely reluctant ass through a redemption arc.
Been an age since I've seen a Ren and Stimpy reference anywhere.
Now I wish we could see more people be amazed at what Mammon can really do. Perhaps he could assimilate a few enemies to gain info?
'Her' to 'She'
'simple' to 'simply'
'quit' to 'quite'
'though' to 'thought'
Evidently he put on quite the show. Especially if he can elicit such a reaction form a sensible lady like Tey. No doubt Bastet's host is currently a moaning puddle of cat-like satisfaction in the bed. After all, Lanterns make for great lovers...
What, they don't do foreplay around here? Or was it quite the show of tantric skill?
...Were tentacles involved?It's probably a Jaffa thing. The higher the rank, the less demonstrative they seem to be emotionally.
...Ah, right, the host. Bastet doesn't keep a permanent 'ride', after all...
I suspect the Bastet Goa'uld is wondering just what the hell she's gotten herself into. Especialyl if she can impart those skills onto her offspring. Imagine a host of young Goa'uld who can seduce anyone...
I hope her throat isn't too sore from all the screaming she no doubt did.
Well, just drop the big bomb, then, Mammon.
Though I doubt they'd find any trace of you if you gave them your real name, not that you could.
...I think she'd rather wait until she can feel her legs again. And walk straight.
Careful preparation, then. By the time you step up, you should be a master of civic management.
Though the only obvious difference might only be a slight waver in her voice. Still, goa'uld would sense even the slightest weakness, and get ideas.
So, closer to seven months at the minimum before he has to really take an active role.
Ring sensors for the win, eh?
And Bastet would probably not want a hovering mate lurking around. Not as independent as she is.
So hopefully no audience needed next time.
Oh, did someone discover something about herself back there?
How about all of the above?
Not that kind of shame, no. ...I hope he's at least wearing a robe or something.
Heh. Don't think they won't pick up on that distinction. But yes, probably best to have your employer in the know, at the minimum.
Or at least as close to one as a Lantern can get, which is... Honestly pretty close, especially one who leans into the metaphysical aspects of their Light.
...You were saying, ma'am? If nothing else, a display like that would intimidate most people..
Yes, she's having a very nasty realisation about him, isn't she?
And well you should. He's going to be your boss eventually.
And back to business with nary a second thought. More than some Goa'uld can manage after an outburst, certainly.
Could he assimilate the gou'uld and not the host to be completely undetected that way?
Thank you, corrected.
That's basically what happened to Am-heh, so yes.
Zoat, in the spoiler box it says 22nd November.
The System Lords acknowledge the Asgard as fellow gods (that they are at war with) so there is precedent for the distinction.
Thank you, corrected.
He did that already. When he went and assassinated that one (its why people have commented on the glowing orange gou'uld before). The genetic memories were so much that he ended up implanting it into him properly to help him with the load.
The canon version of Stargate Command was air-gaped to the point the only outside connection was the direct phone line to the President.
Technically, there were other connections in the series such as linking to Area 51 and some closer to the surface.
Huh. Weird. My Word version is fine. Thank you, corrected.
Those were added later in the timeline, this is still Season 1 of 2.
Actual air gaping was shown to be effective in story to the point he needed to generate a filament to connect to those systems instead of forcing his way through their wireless systems.
I expect part of that cleansing included some much needed massages to help restore her ability to stand without shaking. As it is, she might well be sitting on a very soft cushion for the sake of her aches.
I'll bet there was much playful teasing on Tey's part.
About as private as it could be for a pair of nobles in any culture. I expect the staff are very discreet.
Heh. Let him offer his ideas, so that she can confirm the correct ones and shoot down any mistaken ones. Very sensible.
After all, there's discreet, and then there's discreet.
Reminds me of Japanese politeness in suffix use. It takes a lot of friendship and respect to earn the privilege of using someone's given name, much less skipping any honorifics.
Boy, she really likes him for that one, eh? Then again, ensuring that she and her minions don't suffer gradual brain damage form their longevity devices has to be a big feather in his cap...
Heh. Nicely done. To anyone listening, that would sound like he's talking about his time in the wilderness after Ra's discipline. But the two of them know it's about his actual nature.
Certainly not in public, I'll wager.
'Lioness' might be a good compliment, but it would fit Sekhmet better.
Well, not every meal need be a grand feast with dishes that take days to prepare...
Indeed, has anyone under Mammon's rule really seen him in private?
And that's why they're so stupid. A strong ego does not need shoring up with conspicuous displays of wealth and power...
Ah, a more pleasant subject...
See, there's your mistake. You don't plan their life for them, you arrange for them to make their own best life...
Eh... Maybe not Americans, certainly.
The trick is finding easy, discreet access to them without simply using his Ring. Pulling up in orbit in even a small ship might send the wrong message, and it's passage would be noted by others.
On the other hand, a human can be trusted to be less likely to get ideas about independence or promotion by elimination.
Heh. Waste not, want not.
Ah, the meat of the matter. What knowledge to endow them with?
Either has its benefits. With loyalty being a great positive for either choice.
Or worse, captured, as was her canon fate. Which left her people to the same end...
Battles are won by preparation, after all.
Though what ideal? It would have to be one that would not bring them into conflict with Bastet, nor one likely to leave them to be trodden on by other Lords.
In other words, what's their next date going to be like?
I'd need to go through the show, but I can confirm for certain in season 3 they were using the internet to search for Seth. Literally had web pages loading.
