    Mr Zoat, any chance of making Bleez and Dul more loyal to Paul the way Hawkman and Hawkwoman "went native"?

    If indeed she was managing him. Paul didn't exactly give anything away that he wasn't intending to give away from the moment he saw her, unless I'm mis-remembering.

    So which gods might interest Thanagar?

    Can Hephaestus figure out nth metal?

    Aside from possibly giving them the idea of removing the autonomy of the colonies, I don't think he gave them any critical intel through Bleez. That could change in the future though, depending on how much he trusts the possible future Red Lantern.

    Well in DC it's not clear if the Hawkgod of Thanagar and Horus are the same being or not, so Black Adam's patrons would be an appropriate choice.

    Ultra-secure briefing pads litter his side table and desk...
    (Unsure if you intended this.)

    Earth. Bullshit. You're damn right it isn't a good idea!

    And a government will always need enemies, to keep their people focused on events without rather than within. In other news, we have always been at war with Oceania.

    Damn straight!

    Heh, imagine if OL got a nudge from the Ophidian: "Why is this one learning this?"

    ...but not all were suited to discreet work.
    (the former is 'a small but distinct amount', the latter 'cautious and prudent')

    Oh, that's concerning. I foresee their traditional foe making an appearance if the worst happens.

    A nice interlude, before the next crisis rolls along.

    Urgh. This weird mixture of pragmatic perspective and closed mindedness the High Mor has going on is really grating somehow.

    Like, in some way he judges situations and people so clearly, yet he seems absolutely blind to other aspects and possibilities. His focus is solely on "use" for Thanagar without being able to reflect on that use itself.

    Very well written, Zoat.

    Any chance? Sure. Bleez is fairly low-hanging fruit, but Dul requires quite a lot of dedicated effort.
    Yes. He'd probably need more information than Thanagar currently has in order to do it quickly, however.

    More likely, Horus, falcon god of war and sky, and one of the most powerful Egyptian gods.
    Also, worshipped by the old Hawkman, and probably Hawkwoman, so there’s an introduction.

    Mr Zoat, how many Orange Lanterns did Paul bring with him to Earth? Because right now, I am imagining Kid Flash ogling Koriand'r and Komand'r before being dope slapped by Artemis. Also, has any of his teammates noted his tendency of befriending attractive female aliens yet? I mean other that the Spider Guild Queen.

    They don't actually have much problems with war itself. Someone who can help with logistical side seems like a much better choice.

    I wouldnt be surprised to find out that Bladebat had been nudged to intercept them, or was at least informed of them. Remember, they had soldiers shadowing them, who only interfered once it was clear the off-worlders had the fight pretty much won.

    Same with the Hawkbats. Honestly, Im sure that anywhere they were allowed to go (as in not forceably stopped from going to) had plants and set ups waiting on them. I'm sure the government has a bunch of people they can lean on or pay off to do work for them.

    At least that's my read of it.

    You know I like this guy. Seems to be fairly pragmatic. Ruthless it appears but not the kinda of guy that does anything without a plan that has a good chance of success.

    Under certain circumstances those are the same thing. I'm pretty sure that when (if?) the time comes Hades will remember who gave him billions of souls while considering Paul's afterlife.

    Election "donations", they aren't bribes, but entirely legal way to influence someone to do things your way.

    The ultimate offering to a Death god, billions of souls.

    All the gods of war in all the various pantheons worshiped throughout history and you go with the biggest buffoon of the bunch? I'll grant you I'm much more familiar with the Greek version than the DC version, but Ares is a bumbling idiot. If I were to pick a mythological war god for Thanagar I'd go with Montu-Ra personally.

    I personally prefer Ishtar. though if we're sticking with Hellenism, then Aphrodite Area is a pretty good choice.
