What I'm interested in is whether Paul gets the same 'we surrender suckers' treatment as Grayven. And whether he bothers to turn on his desire detector for it.
 
Caution when handling the archmage lich that is possessing the body of your erstwhile teammate is only good sense.
That and the League lacks a command structure, which makes it really easy for everyone to think that someone else is handling the issue.

And here we see yet another example of why the Light are pants on head retarded; they just gave the Starros fucking covert agents.
If news of this research got out into the wider galaxy they'd have doomed Earth and everyone on it.
This kind of shit is legitimate reason for another race(the Thanagarians, or the Gordanians, or the Reach) to sterilize Earth to prevent the possibility of this shit spreading.

Especially since you consider that Earth shares the same system as an entire race of superpowered Kryptonian-equivalents in the Martians.

OL should declare a system-wide emergency and get the Green Lanterns to quarantine the Earth system in general and Earth in particular until this is resolved.
That's best practice for something that shares all the worst characteristics of an epidemic.
Because the abso-fucking-lutely last thing the galaxy needs is for the knowledge of how to make and use Starrotech to escape into the larger Starro database.

Especially since it has been proven to work on Green Lanterns, Martians, Kryptonians, Thanagarians and androids.

... do you think luthor would listen/act if he was told point-blank that this kinda of thing could get the planet glassed? correction, WILL get the planet glassed if word gets out, regardless of wither or not its successfully contained?
.. or the league sure. what i was thinking is, if Luthor could be turned, and this kinda of stupidity-induced existential threat to humanity itself is pretty much a one-off opportunity, this could be a chance to dismantle the light as it currently exists.
 
a thought, if assimilation spread to the rest of the hive mind what would the sword of second and third do?

Would he believe you?
Would the other members of the Light believe you?
Would someone like Savage consider it worth the risk, or would Klarion do it anyway for kicks?

I'm honestly not sure I trust the Light to be rational.
Do remember that at a point in time, Ra's Al'Ghul considered culling the human population to be a Good Thing.
And Klarion/Savage et al thought it was a good thing to leave the Spear of Destiny in the hands of an unreconstructed NeoNazi.

Speaking of which
@Mr Zoat
What did OL do with the Spear? Same place as the Ace of Winchesters?
Store it off-world? In Mount Justice?
 
Made by Kwardians. Assume very complete, if having a different focus then what the Guardians would focus on.

Considering the Qwardians are from another universe and have as far as I'm been aware never portrayed as the Guardian's equals technologically, I wouldn't assume that their database is as good as the green lantern database.

But it did, at least in DC proper because DC humans are the Dragons of DC comics in that they can have kids with anything. :D

White Light for the Win! :rofl:

Honestly I think that has more to do with the fact that DC comics is human centric than anything else.

Hybrids with no known human heritage in DC comics include Auron of the Omega Men, the daxamite people, Almeracian nobles like Maxima, Brainiac's Daughter from Kingdom Come (probably), one of the white martian hybrids (possibly), Brainiac 3, and Superman's half-New God kids from the generations stories.

Actually most of the team is immune to the starro tech... Remember the cure-tech maguffin?

The only one in the team that has not been vaccinated is Canis.


How about the Bio-ship?

As for the FTL requiring a few minutes and the sun only being 8 minutes away?
Long Shot problem, from Larry Niven's Known space series, specifically, "at the Core":
" combining the areas of importance, the size of Known space is a rough sphere 60 light years across; allowing 6 hours for take off and 6 hours for landing, and you have a ship that can go anywhere in 13 hours but nowhere in less than twelve, measuring a mile across, carrying one passenger and no cargo, and costing more than 7 billion stars*..."

Same issue; the wind-up and cooldown mean over short distances you actually lose out out on time.

The time things turns out to have been a mistake on my part. Thank you for drawing it to my attention.
 
A hypothesis on the emotional spectrum and the lack of many emotions:
The 9 available ones are simply the base emotions from which the other ones can be constructed (similar to RGB coloring) (+will since it is not an emotion).

For example pride could be a mix of wrath, greed and love (of yourself).
Joy, could be hope, love and will or life.

And yes this is an attempt to motivate how the other emotions could work in universe (aka malarkey) but still

I'm rather fond of suggesting that Joy blends passion, love, and savor for life itself.

Mind you, that's mostly so I can cast it as pink.
 
Oh boy. The paranoia is strong now. Not just for the characters, I'm feeling it too. You know who'd want Paul to remove his Spell-Eater. SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO MIND CONTROL HIM!

(Puts on tinfoil hat)

But yeah, this is turning out to be a very interesting arc. I always thought they didn't go as far with Starro as they could have, and seeing the creature apparently evolve in it's methods are doing a good job in creeping me the hell out. Nothing terrifies me more than losing control of my own body, except the thought of being so far gone I begin to like it. I blame Animorphs for that.
 
Oh my gosh, me too! Thank you for validating my psychosis! *hugs*
"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

I know right! *Shudders* At the very least it's an understandable fear. I feel sorry for people who've ended up with phobias that make less sense, at least to me. I heard of a guy who was terrified of irregular holes in objects. An odd fear, but one that is more common than you would think.

Ur, no offense to anyone with this fear, I'm simply stating that reasons behind it are difficult to fathom for those who don't have the fear.

I'd say our shared fear is a fairly good one. What reasonable person wants to lose permanent control of their bodies after all?

Old Lewis really was ahead of his time.

I actually give the ratings manually.


... There is no plan.




Or is there?
At this point you actually should automate it.

Love that series
I have an irrational loathing for that story.

Completely irrational. It's not even a bad story. Not great, but not awful...
Too campy for my tastes.
My eyes burned at the painful amount of color.
One of the things I like about how this story is written, in comparison to how other lantern fics are, is that when text is colored, it actually means the person is genuinely feeling that emotion. People who get slightly irritable don't have full red text. Optimistic people don't have full blue text. It makes it far more significant when it does happen compared to having the whole story be a kaleidoscope of colors, making everyone seem vapidly overly emotional.

But if there isn't a butt load of colors how could we possibly infer what the characters are feeling!? It's not as if such things can be told through proper wordage and quality writing or anything...
 
"Okay, I… Suppose that makes sense. But how does he remember stuff if his brain gets destroyed every so often? He should lose just about everyth-."
Tsk, tsk, OL. Still thinking four-dimensionally. Clearly he has RAID backup, either in his soul, or through some other appropreate application of metaphysics.
Come to think of it, souls in DC have more or less, a full mental backup, and can even emulate the hormonal processes' effect on thinking.
