Last I checked, he did in fact still have his hands.
Is OL about to be on the other side of a Spider Queen moment?
'go' to 'got'
Is that second line meant to be said by Paul? It makes more sense coming from Gaart.
Huh. Well, I guess that's one way to do it. Presumably Gaart's Ring will recover in a moment once the Fear dust settles. Or, you know, they move away from the area quickly... Not a good idea to hang around the only known entrance of the simulation chamber.
A smart backup in case he has another close encounter with the Fear Dust.
Amazed Hal's still harassing them. By now some of them must be breaking off to try and encircle him, surely. Or he's running all over the orbital space dodging them...
Probably some limiting factor. Live subjects to extract Fear from, for instance. Like how the first Yellow Ring (Or Lantern) was created by Kalmin by forcing an entire planet to feel overwhelming Fear and harvesting that energy.
So he's playing bait, keeping their eyes off the planet for now.
...Eh, they beat the Anti-Life once, they can maybe do it again? Though I imagine it'll be harder to assemble some of the parts next time.
Yes, letting the Reach get a weapon that instantly incapacitate their primary threats (Green and Orange Lanterns.) Here's hoping that never happens.
It's probably a respectable name in their language, but boy, that sounds comedic to human ears.
...Good chance they're either in another sim chamber like this, or Mongul Junior's having some fun with a new trophy.
And find whatever location the crystals are stored properly. Assuming the defence structures draw from a single stockpile. Not a great option.
"We have a hulk" energy there. And Kryptonian ships probably can kick the keels of most species vessels of equal or lesser size.
You just know some of them would relish the chance to kill something. They'd need some serious tracking gear to prevent runaways, though.
Since preparing for a Honden transit takes time they don't really have.
Hell, one quick greediport would do the job.
Ah, burned a lot of charge surviving in the simulation, eh?
But keeping one in subspace is just as risky, since if you run down your charge, you're SOL.
Cutting it real close to minimum survival mode.
"Clench up, Legolas." I doubt the trip would be quite that ignominious, especially if they're trying to sneak.
Presumably Hal plans to get out of line of sight of the fleet long enough to meet Gaart and charge him. Which means OL will have to tank for a few minutes.
And they probably don't have enough ammo to fight off everything that would come looking.
Ah, Greenie confidence. Hal is a professional, though, and his rank proves his skill.
...I'll admit, i haven't really been picturing anything for Gaart's appearance. He's some manner of reptilian anthropoid, then.
In most cases, them ceasing to exist would bring up the general quality of life in the universe a point or two. Assuming you bypass the inevitable chaos that follows from their lieutenants fighting over the master's seat.
'Proving your worth' by Mongul's standards. No doubt including a complete disregard for the lives of anyone you aren't personally responsible for, and even that's optional.
Optimistic lad. Comes from being a relatively recent recruit in a relatively quiet sector.
Low-lethality it is, then. Though if the more assholish guards happen to meet with unfortunate ends at the hands of their charges, well...
So include a manual for him to study later. And upgearing a junior lantern is always a good idea. Maybe this time he won't get captured the next time they disable his Ring.
And off they go!
Thank you, corrected.
It is indeed said by Gaart.
It's supposed to be, but Jordan doesn't know that.
