What evidence do we have that the parole requires her to be in the United States? Because she's already publicly left it without being returned to prison.

Is it just me or does the last chapter have torqued mazikeen/Lucifer vibes from end of the Lucifer series?

I thought a standard condition of most paroles was regularly checking in with your parole officer? Travel times make that difficult. And she was worried about having violated her parole for the Nabu thing (although for the bigger reasons) until the JL decided to keep everything silent, which could include leaving her out so OL doesn't make an issue of it.

To be fair though Star Saphire Paul did get laid and though the power girl pregnancy arc is hilarious it has just dragged on forever.
Citation needed on that.
Firstly because he doesn't have a ship. He sent the salvaged Guardian ship to the Controllers months ago and doesn't appear to be taking the Fortress with him.
Secondly because no ship he could possibly build would be as fast as Ring FTL. Or have any added utility as the Ring sees to his comfort and has subspace pockets.
The Guardians designed Power Rings so that their users would not need ships. No reason Paul should hobble himself just to spite tradition.

I've got no citation on that, I read it in the comments a number of times and took it as gospel.
You know, there is one thing I am looking forward to for the space adventures. The ring showing itself as the most advanced tool / weapon in the galaxy. I mean, Earth and Sol are OCP land. Magic, and beings from beyond the Bleed, and mad geniuses who on their own surpass the sum total of Maltusian technological knowledge. The ring can be fooled with bronze age sorcery, and shielded against by most primitive of wards. It can't reliably read metahumans and flat out doesn't understand divine beings.
But out in space? Two lanterns can reliably secure a sector. You can trust your ring to know what and who you are dealing with and, in general, to be able to handle all the tasks you require handled. I want to see that. The proof that the crowning achievement of maltusian technology amounts to more than a minor djinn bound to a ring.

OCP?
People wanting to ship your SI with his mighty serpentine beast? Eh, doesn't matter. Entities are flexible and Larfleeze being mistaken about his Entity's gender of preference after eons of "cohabitation" is... surprisingly believable and very him.

Make a ship.
Transport it via Ring FTL if speed is needed - if power-use is expensive, charge one ring while the other is transporting.
It kind of already has proven its chops given that most civilizations encounter OCPs in much the same way as sentences encounter periods. With that in mind, the fact that Paul comes across these baffling bits of bullshit on a weekly basis and is basically none the worse for wear is a ringing endorsement.

I knew something like this was going to happen but I was pleased to see that it took Paul quite a bit of will to resist that need and why he did. Because Paul would not want to make it a casual thing and was very interested into making it into something more. He explained why after what would be probably great sex, just Jade would be enough to keep Paul rooted to the Planet. He thinks of Jade fondly enough that if that were to happen, it would override his desire to make a Orange Lantern Corps and instead make it a desire on creating a relationship with her.

I am still surprised by how hard it is to find a picture of Starman's (Jack Knight) ship. The best I've got is a tiny interior and the Starman had excellent artwork. Anyone here own a copy and wouldn't mind sending me a scan of the exterior of the ship?

Speaking of which, did anybody bother getting OG Starman to keep working on ways to make his tech useful to society as a whole once Jack... died or retired or whatever the hell happened to him in WTR?
Speedwise, I don't think it's either-or, unless there's an arbitrary weight limit to Ring FTL. I'd imagine it's more a matter of power drain, which then becomes a comfort vs. efficiency thing (and with his power battery right there, not as important).
Ring travel is great if you just care about getting from point A to point B as quickly as possible. If you're basically a homeless space adventurer, however, having a portable home base seems like it would be useful.
Even assuming for the sake of argument that Paul could live out of a ring-generated bubble and a subspace suitcase for as long as he's off Earth, there's the possibilities of:
- him being sick, injured, unconscious or otherwise in a condition where shelter he doesn't have to maintain would be useful
- being in a situation where using emotional spectrum energy isn't conducive to flying under the radar
- being unable to recharge or otherwise needing to ration power usage
- gaining some possession that he can't/doesn't want to trust to subspace
- obtaining an ally/prisoner/someone else that he wants to be able to keep protected while off somewhere else doing other stuff
I'm honestly a bit fuzzy on what his plans are. If the idea is that he's going to leave Earth tomorrow and be kneeling in front of the Controllers ASAP, then he should just Ring there.
If, instead, the idea is to look up Adam Strange or rescue Starfire or go take a peek at the remains of Krypton or any other sort of 'space adventure' sort of things, then a ship might be nice, so he's not basically living like a vagrant.
I never quite got the Green Lantern thing, where someone apparently had the fridge logic moment of "OMG, why was Abin Sur travelling in a spaceship in the first place?" and felt forced to come up with explanations for that.
To me, if you're a Lantern who's doing his job right, it's a full-time job where you spend the overwhelming majority of your time not at home. And, as anyone with an actual job like that knows, being a homeless person living out of a suitcase is a PITA. Makes perfect sense to me that you're going to have a shuttle or something you can relax in at the end of the day.

This comes up later. Jack Knight is still alive but retired. I haven't quite decided how old I want him to be. Jack wasn't a scientist and never learned to do anything original with his father's technology, though he can repair and maintain what he's got well enough.
Qull told him that one day his ring would fail and kill him, so he developed a habit of not being dependant on it. This included flying around on a spaceship. That habit eventually led to his death, as he didn't notice that his ring was being disrupted prior to his fight with Legion because he wasn't using it.
Adam Strange is 21 at the moment, so probably still in college. He won't make contact with Rann until 2015, so it's entirely possible that the Si will beat him there.

Lets be honest, Power Rings fuck up people in the head. Greenies have better PR about it and that's it.
My personal beef with Orange Lantern is ... he is acting like Green Lantern too much. Using Will, shouldn't it fuck up his usage of Power Rings without using Awarice?
Not to mention that with him effectively neutering himself on the "hind-brain->eyes->female->pump the lust hormones!" part it isn't contrived that he declined Jade.
I dislike the execution, though. His excuses were totes wrong and emotion based and not based on him being Orange Lantern.
Something along the lines: "I want all of You. And I am afraid that if I act on my desire ... my other, forcibly blocked emotions, will burst trough the dam as well. And currently I am kinda angry with Justice League since I feel disappointed with them. I really do not want to act on some of my uglier desires, and were I not artificially sedated I would jump your bones right now.
I fear it would be like avalanche ... forgive me Jade."

Paul and Grayven share a very important want:
They WANT to have the full spectrum of emotion. Compared to Larfleeze, they are very sane.

Looking at everyones response to turning down casual sex I can honestly say... I am just extremely ashamed of my gender for the way people have been acting the last few pages. A guy not into casual sex is impossible? Well that's news to me considering that I am a straight guy that isn't into the idea of casual sex. Yet people are acting that someone like me is an impossibility. I can say I am just at a loss for words at the males in this forum acting like the stereotypical male that think that all men should engage in casual sex and that any that don't are just myths.

You're writing as if he's conflicted. He isn't. It isn't that he doesn't want to have sex with her. He does. It's just that he can see all his desires for what they are and can properly assign value to long term wants. As things stand he wants to found the Corps more than he wants to have sex with Jade right now. So that's what he decides to do. However, it's a fairly close run thing, what with him finding her very attractive and having League-related reasons to want to stick around. He certainly isn't artificially sedating himself.
