They still do. The nanites are the receiver-end part of that mechanism.
Comparative analysis is a basic investigative standard.
"any", I believe.
Thank you, corrected.
Eh, Dox will probably take one look at it, go 'Ugh, more Earth madness.' and stick it in his to-do box for later. Still, I'm impressed Cochin managed to identify the similarities. Working at that scale must be tricky.
Well, that's definitely something of interest.
...I'm sure we've all seen that look on a teacher's face. But magic does seem a reasonable option.
I assume runes have a minimum size requirement, so microscopic etchings probably don't work.
Well, that seems... Eminently irresponsible.
Ah, so it's basically Magic via technobabble.
Yeah, neither location is particularly inessential. Get either busted and you're basically dead anyway. Or wishing you were.
And anything strong enough to manage that would pulp the systems anyway. A reasonable definition of lost causes.
Funky stuff. Makes you wonder how the original designer managed it...
I assume the specs are available in-hand, then. Presumably a USB stick in his hand or something.
Well, that would be a big boost to the nanotechnology field. Never mind his personal interest in using it in Hub City.
Damn. But for human-use nanobots... Could be useful.
Which would be egregious if OL's scans missed it. Unless they're scan-warded...
Makes sense. Especially if he were in an otherwise signal-resistant location.
Oh, his interest is piqued. Better not be getting ideas about acquiring some, Lex.
Why get some shipped in when it's sitting all over the place already? Don't mind the demonic whispers, that's just lingering mood energy.
Still smacks of sloppy planning, reusing something that's potentially exploitable by enemy forces.
And that doesn't fill you with a certain creeping dread? OL's spent too much time thinking like a local...
And that's assuming they're not using dimensional trickery like the heat-dampening.
Presumably via a long-range dimensional hop and data transfer. What with their Earth still having trans-dimensional interdiction setup.
...That is sadly too plausible.
That's not a great indicator, especially if it happened after your last trip.
...Oh, that's not paranoia-inducing at all, no sir. An army of brain-washed soldiers answering to a single point of failure and they might have power-copying abilities?
He better go straight to someone trustworthy with this.
This should have orange quotation marks as Dr. Cochin is copying Paul's enlightenment.
That's false given the sheer number of Justice League variations that gave kicked his ass.
Thank you, corrected.
Yeah.
If he did that he would also have to come clean about a lot of the stuff he has just out right made up as part of his preaching
Is this meant to be OL speaking.
When was the last time we heard from OL!CommonSense?
No. Dr. 'Paragon' Cochin has the ability to copy abilities from everyone around him. He can't copy a power ring but he does copy some aspects of the SI's thought processes.
OG Darkseid was a relatively unimpressive individual with one good trick: omega beams. Every version since then has been really strong. That's... Not the sort of thing you want to test on-site.
Telling Lex & co this detail seems risky. I probably would as well, but nervously.
A spark is a tiny fragment of Primus. He's fairly sure that he's not compatible, and that while Primus might be able to change that, that would make him a transformer with no human body which isn't a strict upgrade.
That Avatar sidelined the League, he didn't fight them.
