I love it when Paul threatens to eat powerful beings. It really shows these arrogant ones that Paul is not to be underestimated.
That was quick. At least this means Jax-Ur won't be a future problem.
Unusual
I doubt his Subspace systems are working properly either, which would remove the options of railguns and any special ammo that might affect this thing. Admittedly, being gripped like this kind of encourages polite diplomacy rather than combat...
Oh, that's helpful. And yes, this is not something to be trifled with. Talk fast, OL, and talk nice.
For reference, the final mission from said version. Though I imagine the specific looks as more Ridley from 'Metroid'.
Not doubt Jax-Ur is wondering what all that's about, but it's hardly relevant right now.
Something primordial, I would imagine. Something that can manipulate the fabric of the Zone like its own digits.
I suppose Aethyr was something Mr Zoat only learned about post-Insertion. Certainly, Earth-Prime!Paul never looked into it.
Metatron, for reference, is an Abrahamic reference. To massively simplify it, God's Scribe.
Confused me for a moment there, until I realised it was responding to OL's musing.
'Was getting caught part of your plan?'
No, wait, we're not playing meme games. (Seriously, if he'd just said 'Painful for you.', this whole meme might never have existed.)Well, that's concerning. Because he's Human, lacking the kryptonian organelles? Or because of his soul-tattoos?
Funny, I assumed you'd sort of absorb the specifics from his mind. Or is that only possible when he's thinking directly about something.
Good, no need to get everyone caught up on the same page.
Gee, I guess it's a little confusing for Aethyr too.
Please don't. That would rather cut the story short.
Yeah, I suspect he's serious about that threat. After all, if he's laid bare to you, kind of, then you're laid bare to him.
What would any being shoved in here want? To leave, of course. But OL does need to know a few things.
Eh, he has died a few times. I don't know if that affects his memory or anything that severely, but...
Ah, so he doesn't mind the discomfort as long as it allows him to be conscious.
Well, at least with Aethyr helping bring them along, the inmates can be freed much faster.
Focus, please. Indulge your meat-brain instincts later.
Ah, that word's spread already? I guess when you can kind of sense what's going on and listen in on conversations without being noticed... Gossip travels fast.
Worst case, some kind of encounter suit to contain any olfactory expulsions might work for the short-term.
Wise choice. Truly, you are an intelligent man.
So leave now, or forever hold your peace.
Oh, discovering that the primal entity might not be as easy to manipulate as you thought, hmm??
Sorry, Jax, but you've really kind of put a bad spin on your value as a potential colonist.
Yeah, not great for you.
Ah, the cry of the defeated villain...
Thank you, corrected.
I guess they'll have to figure out somewhere else to put her and the other prisoners they weren't planning on releasing yet.
Orange Lantern does realize this could result in the godlike being gaining a taste for murder, right?
Sad but true.
Not sure about the use of bear here.
... it knows about Moses? Did it read from OL's mind or did other people that were in the Phantom Zone know the story?
That was cold. Giving him hope before taking it away from him.
Why are we assuming that said godlike being would be gaining a taste for murder? I'm pretty certain that it already has murdered people in the Phantom Zone before, given how old it is. In that case, it already has a "taste for murder."
