Well well, the SI was rather smoothly managed then, huh? It's always good to be reminded of a characters blind spots after such a impressive showing..

If indeed she was managing him. Paul didn't exactly give anything away that he wasn't intending to give away from the moment he saw her, unless I'm mis-remembering.

Aside from possibly giving them the idea of removing the autonomy of the colonies, I don't think he gave them any critical intel through Bleez. That could change in the future though, depending on how much he trusts the possible future Red Lantern.

Earth was no laughing matter. A figure made of water nearly drowned half the planet, and life continued much as it had before. A demon stole all of their children, and the matter was resolved within a day. Demented geniuses made weapons in secret laboratories that even the Thanagarian Empire's greatest scientists couldn't match. And time travel! One of the reports stated that the Thanagarian Empire would eventually annex the place. Frankly, he wasn't certain that was a good idea.

Earth. Bullshit. You're damn right it isn't a good idea!

"I felt it best to avoid even implying that. Much as I'd like to write them off as a bunch of deluded fools, they have been running a subversive organisation for thousands of years in the face of government opposition. I doubt we could catch them all even if we wanted to."

And a government will always need enemies, to keep their people focused on events without rather than within. In other news, we have always been at war with Oceania.

Idiots.

Oh, that's concerning. I foresee their traditional foe making an appearance if the worst happens.

A nice interlude, before the next crisis rolls along.

I mean, if Truggs isn't lying they actually did manage it in his timeline, so...
 
Urgh. This weird mixture of pragmatic perspective and closed mindedness the High Mor has going on is really grating somehow.

Like, in some way he judges situations and people so clearly, yet he seems absolutely blind to other aspects and possibilities. His focus is solely on "use" for Thanagar without being able to reflect on that use itself.

Very well written, Zoat.

Mr Zoat, any chance of making Bleez and Dul more loyal to Paul the way Hawkman and Hawkwoman "went native"?

Any chance? Sure. Bleez is fairly low-hanging fruit, but Dul requires quite a lot of dedicated effort.

Yes. He'd probably need more information than Thanagar currently has in order to do it quickly, however.

Thank you, corrected.
 
Mr Zoat, how many Orange Lanterns did Paul bring with him to Earth? Because right now, I am imagining Kid Flash ogling Koriand'r and Komand'r before being dope slapped by Artemis. Also, has any of his teammates noted his tendency of befriending attractive female aliens yet? I mean other that the Spider Guild Queen.

I wouldnt be surprised to find out that Bladebat had been nudged to intercept them, or was at least informed of them. Remember, they had soldiers shadowing them, who only interfered once it was clear the off-worlders had the fight pretty much won.

Same with the Hawkbats. Honestly, Im sure that anywhere they were allowed to go (as in not forceably stopped from going to) had plants and set ups waiting on them. I'm sure the government has a bunch of people they can lean on or pay off to do work for them.

At least that's my read of it.

A sizeable portion of the Corps visited while he was in the Silver City.

The Princesses are busy with Vega at the moment.
 
"The cruiser's sensors are only slightly enhanced, farsight class four. They aren't precise enough to decipher gravitic phenomena with complete reliability, but… I'm inclined to believe it."

That.. was.. troubling. While getting hard figures on what Sector Lanterns could do merely required expending a small number of privateers, no one Imperial Intelligence had been able to contact knew what the limits of Lantern power were.

Can someone tell me what this was referring to?

Hey, the Spider Queen is absolutely stunning. By spider standards.
 
You know I like this guy. Seems to be fairly pragmatic. Ruthless it appears but not the kinda of guy that does anything without a plan that has a good chance of success.

Election "donations", they aren't bribes, but entirely legal way to influence someone to do things your way.

Under certain circumstances those are the same thing. I'm pretty sure that when (if?) the time comes Hades will remember who gave him billions of souls while considering Paul's afterlife.

All the gods of war in all the various pantheons worshiped throughout history and you go with the biggest buffoon of the bunch? I'll grant you I'm much more familiar with the Greek version than the DC version, but Ares is a bumbling idiot. If I were to pick a mythological war god for Thanagar I'd go with Montu-Ra personally.
