I wonder what this looks like to other people. She must feel like some tourist who's never seen Fish and Chips before. Hopefully there's no undetected allergy issues or this date could go a bit rough.
Nice and remote, with minimal electro-magnetic fields to affect her poorly. Sounds like a pleasant spot for a 'getting to know you' kind of date.
Oof, right in, fresh from the oil? That's gonna be...
...Spicy. I wonder if a banshee actually is strong enough to twist-top a can like that or what...
Only a moment, mind.
Not a lot of fizzy drinks in the underhills, are there?
Wait until you get your first fizzy burp. Quite a fun sensation.
It's more about the texture in the mouth. Lends a bit of zest to the soda as it goes down.
At a guess... Diet Coke, Lemonade, Ginger Ale, Orange and...
Creaming Soda?I mean, it's not compulsory to drinks sodas, but it;ll be a lot easier to have meals topside.
There we go. Admittedly, the cola brand can change the taste quite a bit.
Helps the fizz, maybe?
A lot of things are considered fit for human consumption. Doesn't mean they're necessarily healthy.
...Admittedly, you didn't know the second one was there, so the attempt had to be made.
Complicating things a great deal now. What's the bet some countries will simply declare 'we will handle it internally' and deny them access?
And some would actively campaign against the Alliance on principles because they see it as an American thing, no matter how international it is.
Bit of a jolt, given how many were born there. I suspect they'd have quite the argument.
A rough analogy, but if it makes sense to her, then it worked.
I can imagine they'll be popular for the more advanced options. Especially weaponry.
Good to have that unspoken question answered. I imagine the process was a bit rushed to prevent ground troops cordoning off the area and interfering with them.
Air support isn't always an exact science, certainly.
And they may well not have cared anyway, depending on opinions on the Alliance. Assuming it's well enough known among the military.
And from what I understand even that took a bit of getting used to for her. Learning to deal with the electro-magnetic 'allergy'?
And few places she wouldn't be uncomfortable amidst the modern technology.
Well, that remains to be seen.
Heh. Very possessive all of a sudden.
Oh, my. Very possessive indeed.
Now, now. He's more than capable of taking care of himself, you know.
Oh, boy. Is she going to do something drastic?
Oh, she totally is.
Huh, basically doubled their Banshee membership.
I understand that - but the Old God wasn't present, he was still bound. And Highfather drove him Back Into The Dark easily enough.
@Mr Zoat what is happening with this sentence?
Hey, Ted Knight was not mad. Yes, he suffered from a few mental issues, but none that contributed to his genius. ...If anything he suffered because of his genius, with stuff like the Manhattan project (in some continuities.)
Assuming the Mother Box plays nice. And I would imagine that it's forced to do as it's told, or otherwise agreeable.
In which case it becomes a case of confiscated evidence being resold. Legal enough.
I assume Kordtech is the second. And Lexcorp almost certainly has a division working on it...
Ironically correct, albeit coming at it backwards. In Renegade's timeline, at least, Savage had bought the patents and basically sat on them until the Renegade took over.
Yet another item on the to-do list to ignore for weeks at a time. Wonder if Rex Mason has been transformed yet?
Joy. Still, at least they played a part in settling things down up there. So there's some diplomatic success.
A slim hope. And it looks like Roy isn't taking his foul-up under the sea too well. Time for some amateur counselling...
I'll bet he does.And she's perceptive enough to know the guys need some bro-time.
Unavoidable, but really, if it lived it would have been a hazard.
I doubt they'd find any use for it except as meat. And they have better sources.
Nice to have it confirmed in-story. But you can't blame yourself for that, OL.
Not even heard it, either? Still wonder how they convinced him to go...
Hindsight is twenty-twenty, and all that. What's done is done, and save the recriminations for when you have some beer in your hand.
...To be fair, it seemed like the right play at the time. Bad guys and their gadgets, after all.
And how would you have known that beforehand? At first glance, it looked like they were prying it open, not pressing it shut.
Generally, yes. Though it helps if you let them monologue about it first, just to find out what it does. Although that leaves the opening for them to use it before you can disrupt it.
You got better, though, and it was hardly an impediment. Heck, OL wouldn't have been able to grapple the Sixers as easily as he did without the extra noodly limbs.
Look at it this way, Roy: He has the universe's ultimate tool. You have... Power armour and energy guns? Only so many ways you can contribute.
No offer of Dannering? Or would that feel a bit underpowered in this light? I also guess he's been more careful about permanent modifications to allies over the years.
Not enough of an avaricious person, eh? And I doubt the Greenies would offer the use of a Ring to test. Not many safe or available options otherwise.
A champion of the God of Science and Forgecraft? Handy potential for building his eponymous arsenal. And Heph is less likely to get carried away like Helios did...
Yeah, when you can practically reshape reality by wanting hard enough at it...
Sometimes OL needs to be told when he's carrying things too far.
Chances of exactly that are regrettably high.
Tempting fate with that line.
Yeah, but in 'Ripples 14', the Ted AI said the ship was originally built by a guy called Herman Moll in 1899.
It ends on such a down note, but that's what life is, a series of down endings. All jedi had was a bunch of muppets.
Yes, but I was responding to Donna commenting on Opal City and 'mad' scientists. Bit of a general 'tarring with the same brush' implied in her comment. And poor old Ted didn't deserve that.
*Looks at how the Orange Light has all but destroyed Orange Lanterns mind.*
Referring to a time when he had demons he called fattys as constructs I believe
Back in the day, he kept a praxis demon he called Fatty around as a familiar. He didn't intend to have that sort of relationship with Colin.
Paul's personal recruits are all above average compared to the ones recruited in other ways. I believe it was mentioned that some are already in the facility where Larfleeze is kept in order to rehabilitate them. @Mr Zoat, assuming this is the case, how many among the ones who recover from that rejoin the OLC or decide the don't want to be an Orange Lantern anymore?
Oh, no. You end up in the asylum, you don't get your ring back even if you recover. Clickers who go den-guard keep theirs because they're still reliable in that role, but other species just become too unreliable.
