I thought he met Dream when the Goddess of Nightmares and madness went missing. It is how we got a new sandman, because during the investigation looking for her Dream tell OL that Sandy is still alive.
I mean, if Delirium's portrait was anything to go by, she'd probably have thanked you for removing them, but I can understand the caution. Don't want to dump that much insanity energy anywhere too fast.
And given how said systems are still recovering from both the Anti-Life and the Raising of Atlantis... Best not to stress them more.
Which could be some time.
And that's dismissing the possibility that Ahri'ahn has been a live and hanging around another dimension, like Gemworld or Skartaris.
Heh. Taking advantage of her NEMO contacts, then.
A bit disappointing, but well within his rights. Let's hope her current state makes it unfeasible to execute her.
That was surprising. She didn't seem the sort. Then again, she might have simply latched onto a slim hope in the depths of despair...
Hopefully he lets his head cool before he makes that decision. Or takes time served as a fitting sentence.
Would it be safe, you mean? Tapping the mind of someone lost in magical madness could let that spread to the whole collective...
Nothing hypothetical there, dear. And it'd probably be best to wait and see if she regains some sense first.
Probably not a strange concept to her, in a world this magical. I expect there's more than a few such species made by enterprising or mad wizards...
The interesting thing will be how similar they are, or how different...
I hope they've been doing well, actually. It's been a while since we last saw them.
So, something closer to golems or homunculi than anything.
Well, that's reassuring. Mostly.
In which case he'd be obliged to correct that failing...
Admittedly, that's her word, and there's no telling what some mages might get up to with biomancy...
Probably at some narratively dramatic moment, for maximum impact. Ideally just when he's about to experience a great triumph.
Probably a bit too far from his home sector or Krypton's...
Interesting how variable the ancient maltusians were. Given some ancient depictions back pre-Crisis... Then again, given how advanced they were, customised bodies probably don't seem unlikely.
Now that would be an experience. Sadly, Dream's romantic prospects don't always come out of the relationship well...
I can just picture her face, and the 'how is this madman still alive?' thoughts...
True, he might well not be on her radar, so to speak. Or he simply doesn't remember any meetings. Few beings do.
When you're as powerful in the Spectrum as he is, mortality is a much smaller concern.
Ah, that is a good question, given that once they get things back on track, the Atlantean mages involved might well want to resume their NEMO duties.
They learned a lesson about putting all their eggs in one basket. Or rather, drawing them from a single chicken, so to speak.
Should be "is" and "your" I think.

Thank you, corrected.
Thank you, corrected.
He was referring to Mannheim.
It doesn't have a canon name or Sector designation as far as I know. I haven't named it, and the Sector number is fairly irrelevent as it's a long way from anything interesting.
As far as I remember, only Sanderson met Dream during those events.
I'm not usually good with names. Just as a random name and placement, how about Planet Soumaya in Sector 1104?
Paul, John Quinn, Zagreus, and Koriand'r summoned him to ask for some directions on where to find Melinoë in part 12 of Episode 100: A Week in the Life of. Sanderson met Dream when they were trying to break into the Tower of Fate much later.
Episode 100 part 12 is Canis and the SI chatting with Melmoth, but I'll take your word that it happened.
Uhh, did we ever learn Hal Jordan's current girlfriend? This is from 2020, the Sheedha invasion.
That's episode 102. Episode 100 is
Not a smart idea to go around publicly blaming one of the Endless for something like that when you have no idea if it is true or not.
'involved' -> 'involve'
Is this another Angel version of the SI? Or same Angel SI that we saw before?
Oh, yeah, I remember that now!
Thank you, corrected.
It's from Small Gods by Terry Pratchett, when Brutha's getting annoyed about the Ephebians undermining religious certainty.
That only makes sense if there aren't other well known sources of superpowers in the setting, and there are.
It's the same one, and there's a reason why he's acting like this.
Are the closest people he has to friends (the Suicide Squad) all dead?
That should say 'Ian'.
That should say 'with'.
Ooh, Congorilla? There's a deep dive. Amusingly, he even served on an incarnation of the Justice League! And looking ahead. I have to wonder if this is the same Paul that got Gabriel's Wings from Constantine, or a different one?
It's definitely a conundrum when superpowers are involved. And his human body dying is a part of his modern backstory, yes. The joy of outliving the original series you appeared in.
The problem really creeps in if he starts forgetting he was ever a man. I wonder if the apes of Gorilla City would be interested in providing him a place with more comfortable body language?
Ah. I'm guessing his earlier comment about his responses wasn't rhetorical. And it was bad enough for him to end up in Belle Reve.
A characteristically ape-like gesture, that. Apparently one of thanks and friendship?
I'm guessing that was the ticking clock for a therapy session.
'Chaplain', eh? Wonder if that's a formal role or just an unofficial one?
And at least some of the people here can be rehabilitated. Others... Dying in a Task Force X mission is probably a good use for them.
Waller? Indeed, she could probably use a shoulder angel with actual bite.
Introducing him to a new operative, perhaps?
And yet she never considers that needing one might be a sign of something?
Really leaning into the role, eh? Or perhaps there's been a little bleedover between hollow man and magical biology? I wonder if he has a soul made of celestial energy?
Unlike a certain other angel who made an appearance in late 90's comics... Turns out falling in love with the being you were set to watch over is enough to make you Fall.
Huh, really sunk into the disguise, eh? Or maybe he got 'recalled' to the Silver City and, shall we say, reordered into a proper celestial messenger? If it's the same universe it has been five years...
And yes, it is spelled flag. The version with 'double G' was a DCAU adaption of his son, Rick Flag jr..
For a second, I thought he said 'Ian' with a capital i. A quirk of the celestial language, then?
It's an easy assumption, though. The fact that Waller seems to dislike people asking that must amuse him a little.
Beats a given name you can't say without being knocked unconscious.
I would have thought that would be given. Then again, given how rule-obsessed angels tend to be...
Ah, a matter of their personal belief, then. Given the mechanics of how Heaven works in this story... It makes sense.
I mean, you are something of a highly visible reminder that it's a real place.
I bet he gets that sort of slip of the tongue a lot.
Because to some degree in DC, all myths are true, yet not at the same time.
A fairly logical way to account for the sheer variety of denominations out there, both aligned with our world and those original to DC. (And let's not argue about the former, eh?)
Ah, the Sikh. Theirs is a fascinating faith, and one of the most badass peoples in modern-ish military history.
Interesting indeed. I'm guessing that's why he's not in classic Paul-insert mode.
I'm guessing with responses like that, he's had to dodge punches a few times.
Rick's lost a few good friends over the years,
Sort of.
No, he's using 'Lan' as a name.
Thank you, corrected.
It's his son that he's thinking about.
Thank you, corrected.
In that case, the below should be capitalized.
No, is those cases he's using it to literally mean 'servant of'.
