I think I can figure out why Lord Protector is in such a bad mood with regard to Earth Bet - there's a shortage of catgirls.
He's going to run into a hard wall pretty soon.
I think it doesn't really matter whether there is a consensus on that (which I'm unsure there is), given that Zoat will write what he writes regardless. So really, it seems like a hypothetical what 'should' happen rather than what 'will' happen.
If things are played straight, absolutely.
And that's the problem.

Change "is" to "of".
Unfinished sentence.
Metaphysical Avatar of Purple Ray Healing:
And the first checkup on one of his projects, eh? Beautia Sivana, who was working on getting the Purple Ray tested for general use.
Professionalism, always good. She's probably got him slotted in 'friend' mode rather than 'colleague'.
Hard to believe everything last episode was a matter of hours...
On the upside, if anything goes wrong, you have a Ring-based healer right there.
Low-speed isn't necessarily minor, of course. For all its' vaunted durability, bits of the human body are surprisingly fragile. Necks, for example.
No, it's been used on humans. But as far as the government is concerned, that doesn't mean squat.
Ladies first.
The joy of modernisation. Everything's smaller. At this rate, I'd be amazed if it couldn't be made into a pistol size for paramedic use.
So there's still the need for surgery to remove or realign damaged parts. I hope they didn't find out the hard way by having someone's heart get shredded by glass or something.
Any emergency doctor would love to have that kind of success rate.
Oh, goddammit. people will always be people. Too bad the ray can't fix Stupid. But nothing short of a miracle can do that. And even the Presence knows when to cut its losses.
Well, at least that idiot won themself a Darwin Award, I hope.
Ow. That would suck. But hey, he gets to help advance the cause of medical science...
I'm sure seeing three glowing superheroes would make anyone pause...
"Becasue, ya know, this really hurts. And I am so glad they gave me painkillers."
Man, this thing just exudes an aura of mad science, doesn't it? I hope the production model is reasonably sedate-looking.
Because of course long-term monitoring is required. Despite the Purple Ray begin a one-and-done system (barring the aforementioned foreign objects.)
For a given definition of fine, yes. I hope he doesn't have any piercings he'd like to keep.
I know, it's positively unamerican, isn't it? But his bill is probably being paid by the study's funding.
Probably too many people for him to be comfortable stripping, especially in front of Beautia. I'm sure any of the Lanterns could remove his gear without damage, if he wanted.
"Huh, feels kinda warm, actually. Like sunbathing... Niice..."
After a year, that would be a lot of data, especially if treatments only take five minutes on average.
At which point the capitalists will be baying for blood. Too bad they'll be established by then.
Yeah, there's a lot of tamaraneans carrying old injuries and scars, aren't there. Lots of former slaves... And I doubt even she could bear the stress of healing them all, even if she gets a Blue Ring.
Good question. OL?
Well, that's a stinker. Perhaps if they ever get more info on how it works, they can make one adapted to Tamaran?
"Houston... We have nooo problems..."
Well, that went well. Presumably a quick Ring scan would confirm that, and he gets to go pay his bill for the ambulance ride.
Nice catch!
It won't, Tinkers have tried gravity based weapons on them in the past to no real effect.
None of that will protect him.
It's nicer then saying "Sorry, but I can't give you this super useful item because that would basically be destroying one of Earth's very few possible trade goods.".
