There is a difference between fixing trauma, which is painful and readily apparent, and fixing a genetic condition that she has had her entire life.
Hell, there may be an issue if she doesn't Want to change something so fundamental to her life.
Cant train it huh.. Well... There's one way you can go through it. The same way OL did.

You've participated in a lot of quests. You know how players fixate on details that the QMs never intended to be significant and ignore what actually is. I'm not at all surprised that Koma hasn't put 2 and 2 together yet.

M'crazy.
And as she demonstrated she's still getting the hang of it. She's at least a few days off tinkering with her own genetic makeup, especially since her ring lacks an AI.
She was a villain in canon and shows every sign of already being on that path, yet only now does Paul worry about her stability?
Ophidichan just wants to cuddle.
That said… probably should have introduced her to the recruits a bit earlier.
Given her attitude when talking about it… no. I don't believe that for a second.

Well, goodness knows the princesses could probably both use some hugs.
Unnecessary 'the'.
'falls'.
On the one hand, Paul did not prepare anyone for suddenly having an Embodiment on their planet (let alone giving them something which is probably either a hug or "HEY THIS IS MY AGENT'S LANTERN OURS NOT YOURS GO AWAY"
On the other hand, explaining that probably would be after 'Ring Use 101, Basic Ring Combat (Not-Dying And Being Useful) 201, Not Going Crazy With Orange Light 201' in any syllabus I made too.
Probably should have come before teaching them about recharging, though.
Also: It looks like all these constructs actually do require power. Was Teekl occasionally sneaking in to poke Paul's Lantern occasionally? Is Dr. Morrow back on Earth going to run out of power over time? Or is 'being a construct' something that costs them originally, but doesn't actually cost anything more than they can generate themselves to maintain?
Part of the reason that I am curious is quite simple...
You see, if a construct costs energy to make, but not to maintain...
Then unlike projectile constructs (running power for a railgun, new construct ammunition if you want to fire constructs for some reason) then melee constructs could actually be USEFUL!
Just kidding! Why would you use a melee construct in melee when you can just direct it with your mind? Make a sharp-edged construct and just have it dart around hitting people repeatedly on the end of a filament (if they can't stop that easily) or more likely, on some sort of construct tentacle. But a good distance away from yourself. Not only do you get all the benefits of range, but if someone does try to close to melee you can be your own flanking assistant.
Sure, with a weapon like the Sword of the Fallen you might worry about someone with construct-negation or incredible strength grabbing it, and so you keep it close to have the absolute best chance to prevent its theft... But who's going to steal a construct? And if they do, what are they going to do with a sword that has no hilt and is actively trying to kill them?
Paul's current tactics with railguns afford him more specialized ammunition, and require less sunk costs if he decides to break tethers for an FTL dodge or if he does run into a construct-negator - so unless someone gets good enough with them to impress Paul, he probably won't bother with trying something new based on tactics that he disdains.
Also. by using railguns instead of construct-branches, he doesn't look like a tentacle monster when fighting, which is an aesthetic he tries to avoid outside genuinely sexual situations.

I'm pretty sure that both versions of canon-Paul (renegade and paragon) have demonstrated villainous behavior and instability from power rings. Admittedly if Paul uses the wrong words when, say, explaining that she will not be an Orange Lantern then she certainly could become a villain due to his "betrayal." I'm not sure why her goals are so villainous compared to Batman's feelings towards his parents' murderer, Peter's reactions towards anyone involved in Uncle Ben's death, or other superhero origins. Isn't Superboy proof that we must recognize the mind that eggs on or reins in awesome emotions?
The idea that she needs to "get over herself" seems valid to me, especially if she wants to be a respectable ruler. I hope Teth Adom has a book or a Ted Talk that could help her when Paul returns to Earth. I wonder how well she'd live as Hawk of Hawk & Dove...

Insightful! Assuming Tamaraneans have a similar subconscious as humans, being a 'cripple' may be the justification Koma needs to hold on to her anger, and she might not be ready to let go of that anger soo.... No heals.
That being said, orange rings seem to heavily favor conscious desires over subconscious ones... and Koma has a decent set of reasons to be angry even without her species' flight powers

Canonically, the sisters acquired the ability to throw starbolts after the Psions experimented on them. In this, the SI intervened before those experiments could happen. As such, it is unlikely they will ever develop those abilities.
There's also the problem of getting the data on Tamaranian physiology she would need.
Thank you, corrected.
