Yeah, but the whole problem here is that we don't WANT them to eat everything and destroy the ecosystem. If we were okay with that, then sure, we could just wait for a few decades until the deer all starve themselves. The problem isn't 'deer bad', it's that we like the ecosystem, and that the damage the deer do to it is expensive.
I'm just going to redo that whole sentence.
That's why you kill the deer and eat them.
No, I don't like the natural ecosystem. The natural ecosystem has things in it that kill me. Rabies is a part of the natural ecosystem.
The problem is that there just doesn't seem to be enough demand for venison. The deer population is still rising despite the culling that takes place, and the culling is not actually profitable for the government.
I suppose I misspoke. I was referring to the beneficial aspects of the ecosystem specifically. I'm not saying everything should be natural, but that it is beneficial for some aspects (perhaps many aspects) of the landscape to be more natural. There is a lot of scientific support for the use of 'nature-based solutions' for problems with the environment, or so I have been taught at university. I don't care for the aesthetic or whatever, but there are undeniable benefits to checking the deer population.
I think there just aren't enough people who are interested in/capable of hunting deer in the UK or willing to come to the UK. If it was as easy as just reducing taxes on hunting or something, I don't think the government would be having trouble.
ran -> run ?
Remove the extra "
assume -> assumed
Ran is correct, it's past tense. He is describing an event in the past that already happened.
That should say 'And then'.
Ah, Nick, Nick, Nick...
Such an American plan. Surprised the Emerald Knight let it crash, but just because he has a Ring doesn't mean he's faster than sound, huh? And if he'd stopped it, they'd just try something else. Something more likely to get people hurt...Pfft. I guess the 'X-Com' games never came out in this world. Or he'd have to rethink that statement. Then again, he doesn't seem the gaming type anyway.
Lady's got guts. Though her ability to fly is useful in this case, I suppose.
Well, something did blow up, like I predicted yesterday...
Which is telling. Start joining the dots, fellah.
Good, he's not taking things on his boss' word.
Some races kind of won the super-power lottery, huh?
Admittedly - from my meager GTA Online experience - the larger aircraft handle like right pigs in the air when they're in good shape.
Never mind after a little creative sabotage.Finish that statement wisely, young man.
Ah, Roswaul has arrived. A little late to save the evidence, but still...
Like he didn't know she was there before he landed. Thank you, Power Ring sensors.
Not a mnemonic gesture, I assume. You know, like in Mass Effect, when a Biotic ally uses Lift, they make a 'lifting up' gesture?
But he was still closer to Nick than you'd have liked, eh?
I assume she has a psychic ability to detect intent.
Heh. Easy assumption to make.
This would be so much easier if Roswaul could just talk to them, but that would give the game away far too early.
Roswaul using his Ring to access an internet site to learn the right movements, I guess.
It's amazing at the differences in styles and 'accents' when it comes to sign languages.
The sword was a warning not to try anything funny, I suspect.
Yeah, I'll bet he's making his thoughts on them clear.
...Very clear.
...Or maybe pulling a rope downwards to lift something. Subtle.
Good question. Well noticed of you, Nick.
Go on...
Heh. Sometimes that happens. Not everyone can be uber-fluent in every language needed.
Americans and their guns... Not hard to work out.
Well, you technically are the bad guys in this particular situation.
Damning, but wait...
Amazing how much you can say with a few gestures, isn't it?
...Gee, maybe you might consider that not all aliens are against you?
Take a guess, lawman.
Ever wonder if you're the bad guy, Nick?
I half imagine Roswaul giving him a subtle rebuke in that posture.
Bit late, yeah. But no, I think you'll be meeting again before long...
And no doubt Roswaul will be looking you up before long.
Not letting this go, eh? Good man. Look deeper than the carefully spun briefings you're given.
Still, Good to see Nick not letting this information go unconfirmed. Perhaps he'll find something useful out in the process. Learning not every unaligned alien is bad might be important.While the brief lesson in sign language is interesting I still have no clue why GK-Paul is pretending to be mute.
So he can maintain his disguise as the green knight and keep people guessing about exactly what (or who) he is. The people he's dealing with have deep intelligence networks and this Paul is vulnerable, especially while he's sleeping.
The malthusian he got this job from used to run around in green armor and never talked.
'my binoculars'
You can't keep all of and only the beneficial aspects, no. I thought that was obvious from the way I was talking about wolves specifically, given that they do present some small danger to people, which is clearly not beneficial.
Thank you, corrected.
HAH!
Oh boy.
OH BOY!
I assumed that they reached Earth through long ranged teleportation.
Well, darn. I try writing things that people will hate. I'll just have to try harder in future. I've got it!And to Mr. Zoat, may I say again how much I appreciate Sh'lainn and Nick's characterizations - I can actually hear their banter in my head, it's so authentic.
. . . I admit, I sometimes find I prefer your side-stories to the main plot (depending on the episode and crossover elements in question), but I will be extremely sorry to let this one go.
Thank you, corrected.
