Not... really. Mostly because you separated the sentences; an alternative could have been:
She not relying on them for power. She just copied how they do things.
The timeline where billions of people weren't killed on Earth, the Reach is falling apart, and Darkseid got his ass kicked so hard it turned red.
Don't forget his new Kryptonian and divinely empowered servants.
I understand them to be pretty directly power level = birth order. Death Destiny Dream Destruction, the twins, and then baby sister Delirium. There's a distinct split between the elder three and the younger three, and it's unclear where Destruction falls but probably in the weaker half.
No, this is a Britishism. Doesn't work in colonial English but it's fine as long as you chant Rule Britannia under your breath the whole time you read it.
Most likely, the intruder has some very good stealth systems. Good enough to go unnoticed by automatic sensors, or to spoof friendly IFF codes. Now, the matter comes down to are they actually friendly or not? Which is why the Renegade is here, I take it.
'Probably better not to embarrass the staff.' And maybe stop by later and give them a reminder to be more vigilant.
And damn if I didn't immediately picture something akin to Bayverse cybertronian craft. Then again, their 'reconfiguration' seems more like showing off as much as any practical purpose...
Immortal Man in Darkness. A Chinese fighter pilot bonded to an experimental alien spacefighter. The Renegade Awakened him as a favour, if I remember right. Mostly because the bonding usually killed the pilot of the craft eventually.
Heh. Enjoying his upgrade, I see. I bet his bosses are enjoying the reduced outlay in pilot costs.
Quite a bit like a cybertronian to some degree then, except more fleshy than mechanical.
I mean... Did he have any family outside of the Great Ten? No lovers, no next-of-kin... And I suppose if he needs feminine company, the officers can provide discreet subjects.
In other words, if he's sneaky... Or presumably they're calibrated not to ping him specifically.
Ah, so not just a casual visit. To be expected.
But not so far he can't make an attack run, I assume. So, definitely here on business.
And slower to respond, if he does turn hostile. Even if they're going to a combat ready state now, it might be a minute or two before anything can launch.
Not like he'd try to hide if he wanted a meeting.
'Do try not to yell too loudly, I'm sure his people are a little sensitive.' Presumably any guards will be outside the room.
At least he's trying to be polite about this.
Ah, The party feeling a little annoyed that they aren't getting a share of the pie? Stuff them, they have a space-capable force.
Ah, yes. The Renegade did provide aid on that front, didn't he? Enabling the general to shut off his shape-shifting armour...
Sadly, Unicorns and Qilin are not the same thing. There's a lot of similarities, but they occupy entirely different mythic roles.
A noticeably different species, yes. Though I expect he's joking... Mostly.
Ah, I thought so. Presumably they expected to have a larger role in the organisation than they received.
That bad, eh? You'd think the party could be somewhat discreet about planting spies.
Very equanimous of him. 'Yes, we know you're going to spy on us. Just don't be dicks about it and we'll tolerate it.'
From the looks of it, someone above his head is playing games.
Sounds like the selection committee needs some oversight.
No doubt he intends to have personal words with whoever's getting in the way.
Ominous. And I wouldn't be surprised to find someone would consider that option viable.
So, the next lot will be more subtle than the hammer of those so far.
...newly remade drive system present...
...for which I am grateful.
...having them get suborned later counts?
"I will ensure that their career trajectory matches that of their sponsor."
Thank you, corrected.
