With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

[Darko]

And we just had chapters a few months ago about how his thing with Cadbury was hijacked because he only did a small portion of the job and then left to go focus on the next shiny thing that caught his attention.

Yes, because focusing on running a chocolate company is truly the most important thing in the world.

He should not have delegated it to people that actually know how to run such a business, and he certainty shouldn't have returned to being a superhero.

Sure, if he stayed he was likely going to run the company into the ground, or the world/galaxy/universe would have been damaged if he didn't return to being a superhero, but that's a small price to pay.

…mind control? I'm late to this particular discussion, but I'm surprised it wasn't brought up.

It didn't look like she was mind controlling him, and they probably would have had some way to detect that.

Been busy for a few days... but about that B5 chapter...

"And I don't really want to fly back to the narn homeworld without gravity." I frown. "Do you know why Earthforce didn't reverse engineer artificial gravity from minbari wrecks?"

He looks dismissive. "Your people didn't wreck enough minbari ships. And when they did wreck them, the minbari fleet pushed them back before they could salvage anything.

The Earth Alliance did actually buy an artificial gravity generator from the Vree. Unfortunately, Vree engineering is so different from human technology that EA engineers couldn't make heads or tails out of it.

That said, the Earth Alliance is actually pretty close right now. The first prototype models of the Warlock being worked on either right now(as of the chapter) or in one or two years will have the first homemade EA artificial gravity technology. That said... it's a first-generation model, so not only can it only go up to 1/3 G, but it would also be stupidly huge, stupidly expensive and probably very delicate and maintenance heavy. Hence why the EA didn't have any complaints replacing their homemade model with Minbari sourced AG technology once they joined the ISA as the Minbari version could go up to a full 1G while also being more refined(cheaper, takes up less space and needs less maintenance to keep working).

(Technically it could be considered a war crime, even if the Minbari had never heard of Geneva; faking distress calls is one of the few things that everybody, everywhere, always have considered taboo, for the obvious reason that it might be you next needing aid and not getting it because everybody knows it might be a trap. But impending genocide does tend to make morals...flexible.)

It's only a warcrime if the Black Star had been coming in to take them prisoner and turn them into POWs. The Black Star was tracking their distress beacon with the sole intention of finishing them off... which is a warcrime itself and legally free's the EA to give no quarter right back and use tactics like Sheridan's.

The only other people your species has fought in significant numbers are the dilgar, and they didn't have the technology."

And knowing Jha'dur, if they had, they'd likely have been under orders to destroy their ships instead of letting the technology be captured.

Most Dilgar ships didn't have AG. The highly advanced Sekhmet Class advanced cruisers were developed halfway through the war, using technology pilfered from various League races. Not just artificial gravity but also gravitic propulsion(Brakiri), advanced armor materials and gravitic shields(Abbai) and spinal lasers(Hyach... same damage as the EA's GOD particle cannons but twice the range). They actually needed a lot of help from the Drakh in order to make the technology on the ships work together so quickly, not many were built and most that were, were used as commerce raiders in an attempt to disrupt EA logistics before getting destroyed.

Does Anarky use a spear in the comics? Meaning this was done with his own spear, a weapon we just haven't seen in the fic yet?

Probably not. Not enough detail to know where the spear comes from.
