Were the lights there for the prisoners, or for inspections by people not afflicted by Anti-Life?
Well, since this is a cartoon universe, the lights are probably for the benefit of the viewers at home, but it's also quite possible it just hadn't occurred to the government organisation not to use the standard fluorescents everywhere.

When designing equipment for use in various missions, NASA put a lot of time and effort into the serious problem of getting fragile vacuum-sealed light bulbs into space intact, before realizing that oh, right, space is a vacuum, and essentially using exposed filaments wherever they could get away with it. It doesn't make as good a story as the Space Pen, but it is more relevant to this throwaway line in a fanfiction.
 
"I want you to leave and never return. I want the name of the Apokoliptian scientist running this end of the operation. And-" I take a radion blaster out of subspace and take hold of it in my right hand. "-I want you to hold out your left arm."

So he wants to kill her?

Because even a shot in the arm would kill a low level new god like her.
 
I don't know, saying "I'll let you run off home with your tail between your legs as long as you give me a hand first" sounds positively merciful by Grayven standards.
 
For a second, I thought it might be Ace.

From the looks of things, though, the most likely place to find her is in a very specific orphanage.
 
"Slamming insolent little girls into walls." "Answer me."
---------------
"No, you won't." I turn away from her. "Darkseid made you so you could barely conceive of doing anything actually worth while. You'll just keep maiming and killing until someone does it to you. "You're not worth my time."

"Oh, aren't I?" "Eat him."
Might need a closing quotation on Grayven's non-Godspeech, though I don't know how the grammar works with that.

By the way, an interesting tidbit for anyone who missed it:

Some sort of living darkness entity? Interesting. If I still had my orange ring I'd take a crack at branding or assimilating it-. The lights flicker for a second and the darkness patch takes the opportunity to dive into one of the cells.
He thought orange for a moment and it disrupted his yellow ring constructs. A potential problem with using more than one kind of ring.
 
Huh Radion is an actual thing.
In theoretical physics, a graviscalar (also known as a radion) is a hypothetical particle that emerges as an excitation of the metric tensor (i.e. gravitational field) but whose physical properties are virtually indistinguishable from a scalar in four dimensions, as shown in Kaluza–Klein theory. The new scalar field comes from a component of the metric tensor where the figure 5 labels an additional, fifth dimension. It can be thought of as a measure of the size of the extra dimension, with variations in the scalar field representing variations in the size of the extra dimensions.

In models with multiple extra dimensions, there exist several such particles.

In theories with extended supersymmetry, a graviphoton is usually a superpartner of the graviton that behaves as a particle with spin 1.

This concept is closely related to that of gauged Higgs models.

Now I am really confused about why Grayven thought Radon was Radion. :confused:

His Goggle Fu must be weak! :lol



It's from one of the New God comics.

Even a glancing hit with a Radion blaster was shown to be enough to take out lesser New Gods.

Bootleg Radion guns, not enough Radion radiation to kill in one hit unless you hit a critical part.

Think of it as the Radion Equivalent to artificial white Kriptonite, it can kill Superman but still needs to hit a vital area.

Since Grayven is still evolving, will he develop some resistance to Radion?
