    Heh. I'm guessing Clark hasn't had to read Kryptonian numbering for a bit, which explains his difficulty in converting them into English. Much like with old Roman enumeration. And I expect the engrams are there to provide detailed background as needed. I can see this taking a while...

    I mean, you come out of nowhere, probably grinning like a loon about meeting another adult Kryptonian and likely made a mess of introducing yourself to someone who was in a paranoid, defensive situation. What did you think she'd do? 😏 So, it'll be Mayor Karsta, rather than... Captain? I...

    Which puts them just a wee bit ahead of most nations, then. Early armoured vehicles were... Not particularly suited to combat against their enemy equivalents, mostly due to their armaments being more suited to anti-infantry engagements, with only light cannons for harder targets... I doubt the...

    Ironically, that sort of thing is probably becoming more common, with vigilantes going out or criminals with powers. So i understand the caution, especially if the Team have been out of the spotlight or changing their costumes recently. To be fair to OL, he's not wrong. 🤔 Earth does seem to...

    Oooh, it's not a spacefleet... It's an array of orbital strike systems. And since it actually doesn't instantaneous travel time, Paul has to give the launch order well ahead of the high moment of his speech: The big kaboom. Well, looks like Earth's political landscape is feeling a few...

    What, never heard of a greenhouse? 😏 All it takes is a good level of climate control and lighting to manage the task. Of course, I imagine the size and industrialisation needed to mass-grow stuff like this might be a bit trickier, but... Somehow, I am looking forwards to seeing Archer Blood...

    Living like her ancestors, eh? Though in this case it's a matter of safety than anything, since those heating and power signatures would give the game away right quick to anyone looking. I take it her ship is well-hidden in similar ways. And so Karsta Wor-Ul is returned to the prime of her...

    No, Duke Long found the one I was thinking of. He linked it a couple of posts below mine back up-thread. Might have to look that series up, though... 🤔

    Heh. A name with multiple meanings there. The most obvious from context is the satellite launch vehicle. In some telling of Robin Hood, a black arrow was his warning to unfriendly nobles. If I remember correctly. And also a novel by Robert Louis Stevenson that was basically Robin Hood with the...

    (Belated due to a 6-hour blackout because of a storm...) Heh. I'm sure it was very tempting after he took his first look to just 'Mother of Mercy' the whole planet into a reasonable state, even without large-scale devastation. Better to focus on one small patch for the new guests to live, they...

    Ah, so it wasn't a case of being his direct employee. It was more of a general corporate structure, with Non as a research assistant of note. And presumably specialised in the things that got him in trouble, such as planetary-scale geological phenomena... So far, Non seems like a good man...

    The whole process probably took mere hours between attempt, arrest and zoning. Which makes me worry that due process might not have been entirely followed. Whatever due process there was for court-martialling a rogue general and his followers, anyway... Well, 'Non' is no longer mute. Wonder...

    Also the longest-serving resident of the zone in some continuities, according to the Wiki. And considering they put him in there for blowing up a moon, I'd say his sentence was well-deserved... Hopefully Non was alone when they contacted him, or Zod might be standing right next to him when...

    It surely can't be that few left. Just the typical number of ships in orbit would have been crewed by hundreds. And if the Kryptonian bombardment only hit one part of the planet, the rest could have been evacuated. At least things went smoothly with the community leaders so far. No hard...

    The drawback of empathic abilities and a partner who's a trained assassin with a strong sense of kinaesthetics. Neither of you can just lay back and enjoy still moments because you know they want to do something... Honestly, these two are a great couple, as long as jade can restrain her urge...

    Lex seems to sort of man to consider sleep an annoyance he tries to avoid, putting only a bare minimum to stay fresh and alert. Kind of like Batman in that respect, but without the exotic mental training to use meditation... Honestly, making sure Lex has a version of the facts with a positive...

    Yes, hardly the most impressive death he's suffered. But it's probably in his top ten of interesting experiences. I'm loving their reactions to Earth Bullshit™. That stunned disbelief that someone could heal from being tossed at a planet from orbit... From one fun interaction to another...

    I fancy the prestige of serving as the site of such a trial would raise their credit amongst the local systems of the Sector. Which could lead to improved trade relations with neighbours, at the least. Hopefully they don't end up with a dozen system governments all looking to have a say in...

    Ah, a new episode begins! And it commences with OL's visit to Xudar to set up the particulars of Zod's Trial, at that. No time being wasted here, then. And yes, if you ever lose the sense of wonder about new worlds, I'd say it's time to reconsider your line of work... I'm sure that with Tomar...

    It does feel like he's pulling a 'No, really, we weren't to blame, really!' gambit. But what reason would he have to lie now? He got what he wanted, and OL doesn't come across as the sort to take back a bribe if he doesn't like the results. Well, at least that answered a few of OL's...
