    Oh, he's teaching her advanced tricks with Empathic Vision? I suppose it's useful to have a second pair of eyes checking his work...

    Unfortunately, she can't just do it the way he did, that would require her merging with Ophidian-chan and then achieving enlightenment from it... I don't think that's gonna work so well...

    Might be a bit above his paygrade. or maybe beneath it, depending on his opinion of it...

    Ah, the fine art of delegation. Even in Russia, managers know how to fob work off on people...:V

    I doubt it can do much to hide her curves... I'm not sure there is anything that could manage that...

    And all the while, he's thinking "Damned weirdos... But at least the woman's hot."

    And some societies less than even that...

    Even though these are fairly atypical circumstances? I'm pretty sure Timmy won't be feeling the usual things he does...

    It's just a matter of wanting to. I suppose her less restrained emotional states make some things easier, others harder...

    Somehow, that's not an experience many Lanterns would want to repeat... I doubt most of the soldiers receiving rings are that into the esoteric side of the art.

    Ah, the techonological kludging of old tech and new. The joy of long-running projects. I'd be amazed if it were anything newer than a Pentium or the Russian equivalent.

    Yeah, he's more worried about her seeing what desires he has towards her, methinks. The joy of telepathy, or at least the strong empathic abilities Lanterns can exhibit. But I'm sure nothing he's imagining could embarrass her.

    And hopefully nothing else. For Timmy's sake, if nothing else.

    Honestly, he has nothing to be worried about, this is nothing invasive.

    Ah... Just explain that he was helping the superheroes. That usually covers any number of sins.

    Cue the good Doctor calling them in the middle of things.

    Scrying defences strike again.

    Hopefully clocking him back in, then? This is the perfect moment for Murphy to...

    ...And there goes Murphy! He's off and running!

    "Erm... Are we done? I.. kind of have to.. get back to work..."

    o_O Even his transition technique is faster than hers? Does his avarice affect it that much?

    I take he's cracking open whatever concealment method the ships are under?

    The 'man' wants his stuff back, huh? Never mess with an Orange Lantern's things, it never goes well for you.

    ...Wait, is it really going to be some Pluto-based culture? :eek: Are we going that obscure?

    I don't think the Bat-Shuttle's gonna cut it for this. The League really needs to get on proper long-range craft at some point...

    Let's hope OL can get there before Manga Khan does too much damage, it's going to be hard to make peace with him foaming at the mouthpiece. And I notice no mention of the Russian ships... Hopefully they're aboard the ClusterCorp craft... We'll see tomorrow, I hope.
    (And you caught us all off guard with this early post, Mr Zoat. Couldn't sleep?:p)

    No. The company I work for has most of us working from home, but one administrative assistant needs to be on-site. That's usually my colleague Caroline, but she's on holiday today and Monday. That means that I have to get up and leave the house at a specific time to get the train, rather than just being awake at my computer at 0900. Extra fun: British trains (which are no model of reliability at the best of times) at on an all-week Sunday timetable at the moment.

    Also, it's too hot in Hampden Park at the moment.

    They want the local equivalent of SpaceX which has got at least one 'I'm not mad, just a little annoyed' scientist involved to do the 'heavy lifting'... (Doctor Will Magnus might not be a terrible prospect if you want a lot of robotic construction staff...) Depending on how Queen Industries is doing in this setting they may be prepared to throw their weight behind it...

    No. That would require Manga Khan to feel love, and we haven't seen that from him. His feelings for L-Ron are pure orange:

    I hope that's the case. I hope next chapter, Timofey will just raise his hand and say, "Um, can I go home?"

    And OL will startle, remembering that he took a military warehouse worker with him, and possibly facepalm. And then - hopefully - Timofey will gain Badass Normal status by saving the day.

    Pretty sure not... On one side you have a gas cloud from a race that reproduces asexually, on the other a robot which I think we can be pretty sure isn't designed for sex. L-Ron may have... affection for LLMK, though...

    So I guess Timofey is Paul’s version of Hydra Bob.

    Hi Mr Zoat. I remember that you recently decided to go with the official spelling of Tamaranean. May I ask if you will edit the old ones? If you will, here are a few I found in the story only thread.

    I went with a different color because there was already red there. There are more, but in case you aren't going to edit it, I will just start with these.

    Thank you, corrected.

    If you tell me what you think needs changing and what it needs changing to, I'm almost always happy to change it.

    I mean, I'm probably not going to go back and change how I capitalised species names early on even if someone was crazy enough to go and list them all. But pretty much anything short of that.

    Are we going to see more of the alternate version of Paul this episode, like the He Man version, or Avengers, hell maybe even the MCU version?

    Should be "Timofey"

    And poor sod. This is the kind of thing that will end up with him stranded on an alien world, inadvertently saving the indigenous medieval (or earlier) analogue culture while just trying to survive long enough for a Lantern to come find him, and becoming a figure of divine myth in the far-future of the civilization as he gets misrepresented in the ensuing holy texts/histories as an angel-equivalent/lower-'g'-god/demigod brought back to the heavens once his task was complete.

    I d much rather have Wade/Deadpool as a friend then an enemy. I like his comics, so I realize that being around him would make my life difficult, but he tends to go out of his way for his friends and family. Plus making an enemy out of the unkillable insane assassin is a horrible idea.

    I was thinking of dealing with him as more like a teammate.

    Remember that Paul can assimilate people and renegade was able to assimilate Savage.

    Well there's always the Creeper.
    but Paul & wade would be hilarious

    as would Paul having discussions with Reed, Doom and tony

    and yet he's still probably a better boss to his butler than sterling archer was.

    Thing is, with his current level of Enlightenment and all, the only way to cut him off from his ring is to toss one or the other into another reality where he can't just call it to him.

    And if he's still somewhere that's connected to the Orange Light, he can just call on any local versions of orange power rings anyway.

    I want to see OL in The Dreaming. He's been to Heaven, he's been to Hell, he's been dragged to other realities, and fought his way back. The Dreaming?

    I'm sure that would be no problem. :)

    The ship has insurance, a new one can be purchased. The crew is even replaceable, they would have standard training.

    L-Ron has something far more valuable, knowledge and a working relationship to Manga. Manga is.... not easy to get along with, but L-Ron somehow tolerates him. Must be a rare trait.

    L-Ron is like a highly-skilled Secretary to a Lawyer or CEO, always knowing everything that needs to happen and how to make it happen. The boss might give the orders, but the Secretary knows how to make them happen. I have heard that when a really high-skilled Secretary's boss leaves or retires, bidding wars break out to get the Secretary to work for them. The smartest leaders know their true value. The smartest people know to always respect the gate-keeper, the all knowing, the Secretary.

    ...actually, I think Paulos might get along really well with the Corinthian, as long as the latter is taking a break from his hobby.
