I was rereading and found this error.
Thank you, corrected.
It would make sense.
I was honestly thinking the Dominators.
I think the Spider Guild is more widespread.
I would imagine he was running on very short sleep until the Orange Lanterns took the field. And possibly unsafe amounts of stimulants. At least now he isn't having to send secret agents into open combat with Scarabs.
And like he said, he can spare you the time in return for what you did.
It does look a little improper from the outside. From some angles, anyway.
Canny assessment. You don't get to be the commander of an intelligence agency like the Darkstars by being a fool, after all.
...Now that you ask the question, it becomes clear that was a possibility everyone overlooked...
And never meet your highest expectations.
It'd save her having to work with strangers. And Earth Bullshit™... Well.
Transporting them to Earth. I suspect OL can manage that easily enough. A dropship with Honden-warding, perhaps, if he's in a rush, or standard Ring FTL if he's not.
Xor should be demonstrating similar levels of improvement, with his Enlightenment. The biggest difference being relative level of practical experience...
As long as they can st it aside in combat, the byplay'll be ignored.
And you'd expect that most of them can be professional enough to limit rivalries in the field to kill-counting in battles.
Which will probably require a thousand-plus active operatives, I expect.
True, if the vote is that evenly split, then there definitely needs to be some consideration put in.
It's likely a case of self-evaluation. Is he really that vexed by the ratio of representation amongst their leadership?
And they'll be remembered for it. But the war has changed, and the needs and duties of the parties involved have to change with it.
With a good chunk of the commissioned ones too, I would warrant, especially those coming up from the ranks.
In other words, they're getting more Lanterns, but each is less potent than before, and compensating with quantity over quality.
That is OL's way, really. If it's needed to minimise conflict, it's done.
OL's in the Lantern business for life, and he intends to be around for a long time to come.
Which means there could be more than three thousand, six hundred Oranges out there. Given the scale of the conflict and their decreasing potency, I'd bet it's closer to five or six thousand?
Except for the one hive OL's personally vetted, anyway.
An effective little backroom meeting. And all it cost was an hour of the gent's sleep schedule.
I expect he'll have to temper his sense of scepticism in anticipation.
'bloc'?
With the Spider Guild, a non-military solution may be feasible. Perhaps lean on the history of Paul's homeland, and try a political marriage to secure an alliance? That would provide a direct "in" for potential reform efforts. I'm sure Jade would understand how important that was to improving galactic conditions.
No, but Rule 8.
Thank you, corrected.
Are you from Themyscira?
I was referring to the wind. I have no doubt Britain like Brittany is used to the rain ;-p
We have a breed of short abhumans with large feet. They're short so that the wind doesn't blow them over and they have big feet so that they don't sink in the swamplands of their home. We call them 'Norfolk folk'.
The Spider Guild are giant spiders that eat people because they're spiders.
Princess's Hive seems to be investing gengineering cycles towards eliminating that predisposition. Nothing too eager, and they've yet to include it into the general spawn pool, but Princess's Hive has a very thorough fear of OL.
