Paul can Honden teleport and survive his own death. The Reach are patient and still in the information gathering stage. Once they feel like his fights against single Scarabs and other assorted novelties is getting same-y they'll probably try a mass assault once or twice, but right now the probability of that working is low and there are still many more cost-effective ways with which to gain info on Paul.
Thank you, corrected.
Also Earth is under Guardian protection, so Reach attacking it gets them swarmed by greens.
No turning back, after all. Their world is burnt, their people fled to another. Nothing holds them to this world anymore, now they have their goddess' remains. A total cutting of the last threads, a symbolic shedding of childhood. ...Or I'm just reading too much into it.
I think the Nemesis and this new Little Girl Voice are different Reach officers. He was talking to the Nemesis, then shut him off, and then started contacting a new ship, and that one had the little girl. She's a new character, not the rival.
Unless they manage to pull off what they did in canon.
Please edit for clarity here, because I have no idea what a "Scarab's scarab drone" is supposed to be.
And no doubt the Reach Nemesis is paying very close attention to you. At least being able to see their desires might be useful in the fight to come. Fore-warned is fore-armed and all that. I mean, outside of the basic 'kill you dead!' desire they're no doubt feeling.
Uh-oh. Incoming!
Something very nasty, no doubt. Best to not be where it's aimed.
Somehow, I don't think they replicated the crazy Earth technology directly. That might be a bit too big of a fluke. But replicating its effects might be a little easier. Scarab armouries are very extensive, even without dipping into the more extreme end of the damage scale.
Destroying the constructs en masse, but not affecting the materials beneath? Now there's an exotic effect.
Well, as long as you keep dodging and blocking, it shouldn't be too much trouble.
Back-stab denied! Also, rude, if pragmatic.
Just means you have to be a little more agile.
True, that first shot might well have messed up a rookie. And they wouldn't have the experience to know better than trying to repeat a failed defensive method.
So at least they can't rapid-fire, and bury you in whatever it is.
To quote a famous trickster: "Sore wa himitsu desu!"
Mess with them a little more, eh?
...Well, you haven't been making the most favourable impression, OL. I'm amazed they consider you as big a threat as they do.
Well, technically, Rings do have some measure of artificial intelligence. At least in the Mass Effect 'virtual intelligence' fashion, really.
Sure, go ahead and assume that. Let your analysts argue over that little tidbit for a while.
No doubt the Scarab is running through their options, trying to find something more effective against OL.
...That feels like a reference. Sadly, not one I recognise...
Oooh, busting out one of the 'apocalypse weapon' options, eh?
Not something you can safely use around anything you want to keep, is it?Aw, no rippling explosions running up the length of the ship? How disappointing.
To be fair, even if you atomised it, the particles would still carry on their existing vector. Losing power does not equal 'slow to a stop' in space, after all.
Or they were expecting to be able to block it, but couldn't because your spacewarp maybe went under their shield envelope?
And quite likely your body, if it hit you while you were a little Tang-flavoured. Don't discount anything they might do.
True, NEMO probably is the first real joint-operations force involving Ring-wielders and conventional military platforms. Outside of single Lanterns working with a local fleet, anyway.
No doubt got something nasty planned. Don't get cocky, OL.
Hmm. Broad-spectrum energy disruptor targetting his constructs? And that line about subspace... Oooh, are they trying to prevent him from using it?
Boy, are they ever in for a shock. On the other hand, his construct armour vanishing could be bad...We're aware that we're more immaterial than we've allowed ourself to be for a while...
One of these is extraneous.
Can't take another shot with a giant cold gun without it being really obvious...
Drones fire and blocked.
If this whole space-bending thing turns out to be...
...Well, you haven't been making the most favourable impression, OL. I'm amazed they consider you as big a threat as they do.
yeah, and if the Reach think they are better then mad scientist then they are in for a rude wake up call
Thank you, corrected.
Like this.
No I don't. I talk about the SI detecting drones by the emotions associated with them.
Thank you, corrected.
Leonard doesn't want to kill people. As a result, he uses his gun to fire a sort of gel and then freeze the gel around people. He only uses the more powerful setting to create cold zones to slow the Flash down.
Absolute zero is not an achievable temperature in real life, just like a perfect vacuum isn't, nor is knowing the position and momentum of a particle exactly, or reaching lightspeed with a particle of mass, or having a perfectly efficient energy conversion that doesn't create entropy. The universe really hates the numbers zero and infinity, and is willing to do fairly dramatic things to avoid having to talk about them.
You had to bring real science into it.
'Genoshan'?
'though'
Given how much LePaul over uses his subspace I've been expecting this for awhile.
