Since they're limited to less than a single galaxy in Universe 16.
That's like saying that because a radio signal can be heard a block away, it should be able to be heard on Mars. There's multiple orders of magnitude difference in scale between intragalactic and intergalactic distances. Plus the stars don't match up to anything on their records, so they're not just in the next galaxy over, but in a galaxy out of visual range of the Milky Way, assuming they're in the same universe at all.
Who could have guessed.
I hope this happens. I'd be happy if that snark just slowed all of the Sheeda down for a while as they recalculate things in order to access all of the tools they usually have during a Harvest.
No, because the Guardians would have set up relay stations for ring signals. Their heads aren't so far up their butts that they would ignore basic communication infrastructure. I'm thinking they're in a parallel dimension or demi-plane or something.
...Relay stations in galaxies they've expressly never visited, or even seen? I have to question if you're actually paying attention to the conversation, or if you're just telling people they're wrong for the sake of it with no concern for what they're actually saying.
Relay stations were never established to exist, the poster I was replying to just said they should, and I was saying that it wouldn't matter even if they did, because they are beyond where the Guardians would be capable of building them. Distance-limit was established by implication in the last update where Stewart says that they could be in a different galaxy but doesn't consider calling the Guardians, which he would if they were in range.
"Doesn't", I believe
Random thought: They have a John and a Paul, how long until they find a George and a Ringo?
It's been so long since Paul has used that thing that I had wondered if he had forgotten about it.
Oh, crud, has Melmoth managed to gain control of the Grundymen and women now? This just gets worse and worse!
Suggesting whoever was managing them has been deep-sixed, or worse. Something to look into after they're contained, though.
Admittedly, that covers most of the population of Columbia at this point. But immediate rescue, I can understand.
That's honestly worse than the groaning wheeze of the typical zombie. These could be standing right on top of you around a corner, and the first thing you'd know is when they lunge at you.Good to see his experience shining through. And no issues from the vegetable matter they're no doubt infused with, since his old weakness is long gone with the Blue ring's programming update.
...It's not the Grundymen O'l Swirly-cheeks is controlling, is it? Because he's got Sheeda critters to waste...
Such an amusing image, though. Action-figure-sized fairies packing needle-sized rapiers, perched on the zombies' necks like a jockey on a horse, slashing and hacking like a grand melee...
Oh, yes, the Wraith. How many people forgot he even had that, again?
Handy. So a Construct-Lantern doesn't count as a construct. Or it was too quick for them to self-destruct.
More pressing concerns, OL, than restocking your guilt-free army of Construct Lanterns...
Nasty. Amazing how much anti-Lantern tech the Sheeda has, given they come from an era where all Lanterns would likely have been long dead. Presumably learnt from previous Harrowings.
No corpses? Looks like the Spine Riders were busy, then. Melmoth must want servants again.
Worrying, very worrying, but at least they haven't all been taken. Yet.
Boy, that would be real nice to have right now. And for some reason, I now have the sneaking suspicion the old Scry-wards the Light use (probably produced by Klarion?) are based on Sheeda designs...
By the time you finish a Quintessence Waveform scan, the Columbians could all be dead...
Oh, that's not good. Divide and conquer tactics now?
Seriously? Giant bugs? Melmoth really loves that vermin theme, doesn't he?
Is Beton Brut busy, you mean? Sniffer dog for the win.
It'd certainly get around the scan-blocking. The question is, will they have enough of a scent for him to pick up on?
And only in this business could you utter a sentence like that with complete seriousness.
Ugly little shit that it is.
Because of course that would make it easy. Yay for terror tactics.
Which means the Wraith can't force it to use them?
Even better.Okay, Good Boy, time to prove your worth.
Guessing the Wraith won't throw off his senses. I doubt Construct Lanterns have any scent.
Working from the bottom up, I see. Guess that shows his opinion of the Sheeda.
Would 'footing' work better here, because at first reading it sounds more literal.
...and deposit it just above the undead. Also, missing line return here.
Possibly 'senses'? I suppose it depends on context?
Those should say Captain Atom. Major is only for when he is in civilian mode.
Probably should be "grundywomen", based on context.
Thank you, corrected.
'Ringo' is a fairly unusual name, so not very high.

Thank you, corrected.
Have I established that in this story? Because that sounds silly, but I've done worse before.
Yes. You specifically mentioned it was to keep the name that people remember and even changed previous instances to reflect that. I can't remember when, but I think I also pointed it out and it was edited to always say Captain Atom.
I'll correct it, then.
It's been long enough that the Demons should have a counter to Assimilation by now.
He could always just make some sort of trade with Mammon.
he not gonna go for the strong one
