That would be an interesting thing to happen.
Time Trapper: Lol. Lmao, even.
He's telling a story. That's intentional, even if it's not good grammar.
Klorel's sponsor wasn't expecting a battle. As far as he knew, he'd already destroyed all of their defences.
In the original timeline, certainly.
If your shield can't stop ions, you need to go back to shield school.
You know, you could just have Paul be wrong instead of changing the timeline to make him right.
Then the Goa'uld need to go back to shield school, because that was the on screen reason that was given for how the Tollan's ion weapons were effective.
Then maybe there is an additional component in the energy blast from a tollan ion cannon, besides the ionized particles, that enables them to pierce normal Ha'tak shields.
That should say 'it'.
So he's come to the false conclusion that the Justice League has taken over like the Authority did in that one storyline?
Thank you, corrected.
Given all signs point to Brother Eye being active and online, it might not be a false conclusion.
Looks like him copying enlightenment isn't permanent, and getting it back is a shock to the system.
More likely he mistook the actions of another group or multiple groups (the GPA, Checkmate, SHADE, and/or the Light, depending on which ones he found and which ones are active) as the actions of the Justice League.
Metcalf, Metcalf... Ah, yes, the tech-genius Hardware. The Arnus reference proved the subtle hint needed to jog my memory. I wonder if the OMAC nanites would even show up as different to normal blood cells without their primary broadcast energy source, as some manner of concealment...
That's awfully convenient, but entirely possible for Earth Bullshit™. Especially if there's any kind of temporal or dimensional crossovers involved.
Muons, huh? Beyond my science knowledge, but probably elementary stuff for Maltusian tech.
The memory thing is probably something else. GPA Mindwipes to provide a blank-slate person to serve as their agent, most likely.
Given their nanites are already in him, it's probably easy to reconfigure his memory neurons to whatever they want, or burn them out outright in the case of him being compromised or captured by 'hostiles'..
Good qualifier, since OL is anything but factory-standard human.
Ironic that he doesn't consider that a problem. Then again, he probably doesn't want to think about the matter...
Seems logical. Purpose comes from the Spectrum, and that only really exists within a living form, arcane or material.
To be fair, would you really want to have to try practising being a Spectrum ghost?
And thus a little of themselves is lost. explains the ethereal and forgetful nature of the shades.
And yes, hellenic faiths do have a form of Reincarnation: Metempsychosis.
Which is where deja vu comes from, in some part. At least within this sort of metaphysical ecology.
Knowing hypercognitives, he's probably going to poke at the concept a bit, set it aside, then have a moment down the line after everything lines up...
And I don't doubt he's serious about that. He comes across as the sort of man who likes having puzzles to solve, whatever the impact on the world.
What if someone worse takes over, of course?
Yeah, pre-emptively terminating someone for something they haven't done yet and may never do now is probably just a bit high on the 'Superman wouldn't like that' scale.
Ah, good. One more loose end to tie off.
I wonder what that would feel like to Enginehead. Something tickling inside his metaphorical brain, whispering to him? Or a sense of someone just sitting over his shoulder, watching...
Okay, looks like Cochin isn't retaining Enlightenment when OL isn't around. Have to wonder if he remembers the shift in his thought patterns and whether he'd try to make it a permanent thing...
And there he is snapping back to Enlightened. BE interesting to see OL get curious and look at his desire history within the Honden... See it turn on and off like a switch
It's not as easy as simply going through millions of lines of plain-text files, of course. Human brains aren't organised like that, why would his be?
Picking up a little of Lex's dislike of superhumans, I see. He's got reason to, at least, given the kidnapping.
I mean, it is a fair assumption that's why he did it. The kid probably assumes Lex is up to no good somehow.
Oh, boy. Since they're more or less in charge of things right now...
With his attack, he didn't think Earth really had anything that could actually hit him.
I don't think Paul's ever interacted with Manchester Black. That's more the Renegade's wheelhouse.
Effect.
Fricking English.
They might, but Zipacna's people had plenty of time to check for things that could be deployed quickly.
No, the SI got his lessons from Brainwave.
Earth was a primitive world that wasn't expected to have even the slightest ability to resist. And it happened very early on, when Apophis hadn't had his arse kicked multiple times due to his own arrogance.
Assuming such things were visible to the naked eye. Or whatever sensors they were confident the Tollans, who have better tech in most regards, wouldn't detect and or block. And assuming the people Apophis sent could recognise what was a weapon or weaponizable tool that could be deployed quickly, despite not understanding Tollan technology.
If that is the case, then maybe it's time Paul explained some of the things he's "seen in other universes". Of course, this is assuming Paul actually remembers the fact that in some of the comics, Batman created Brother Eye and it ended up becoming sentient and evil.
