Fermale Furies?
No no no, its Femaler Furies. Clearly this is because Granny Goodness is already the Femalest Fury.

If it isn't huge/important spoilers, what will Paragon be doing in his snippets next episode, and any hints as to what the episode after that will be about?
(I never remember to ask when both Zoat and I are awake at the same time. I swear this occurred to me at his local midnight, 6:00 pm here)

At first I was like "Well that's pretty rude of him" but then I switched to default style just to find out what it looked like.
Ugh. Back to Dark theme.

Flexile Dark is the default style, though.
No, Default style is called "Default"
Also, unrelated news, I just got banned on SB for posting starwars spoilers.
Apparently someone mistook my "C3P0 turns into Big-Boss from MGSV and kills Luke, all for revenge" joke as a real spoiler.

Hmm. I've had a post deleted for posting something "for people who like spoilers", because posting a spoiler warning'd link to that page was "verging on spoilers". Shit be whack, yo.Also, unrelated news, I just got banned on SB for posting starwars spoilers.

The styles list is arranged like this:
Use default style: Flexile Dark
Styles
"Default Style" (the ugly one)
Flexile Dark
Flexile Gold
FlexileLight
FlexileSpace
Space
Flexile Dark
Flexile Gold
FlexileLight
FlexileSpace
Space
I'd guess that "Default Style" is actually the XenForo default. Flexile Dark is clearly set as SV's default.
I don't get why starwars gets this special treatment anyway, but it looks like the mods really have a hateboner going for it.
Spoilertags exist for a reason, banning people who use them properly is stupid. Banning people who joke about spoilers is even dumber.
I don't want to move to SV full-time. (I've actually had way more moderation bullshit on this side of the fence, usually around Current Affairs) and most of the stories I read are on SB.
That said, it seems like most of the user-base stay there in-spite of the administration, not because of it.
edit: Zoat's right, by the way. SB's "You've been suspected" popup blocks a good chunk of the screen and there's no X to get rid of it. Plus you have the massive banner too, telling you exactly the same thing. Super obnoxious.

Alright… Ugh. Cover: none. Points of ingress: one, with a construct turret keeping an eye on it. Floors, ceiling and externals are well armoured and I'll get plenty of notice if they try coming through there. The communications centre has its own power plant so they can't cut that off. Right now the world is hearing from Commander Talak's own mouth how he plans to destroy the planet.
They have the technology to well and truly mess up Earth's militaries except that without access to their full communications suite or the bridge they can only shut down things within a few miles of the ship. They can't call home either to get new orders or tell them that I'm here… Assuming they haven't done so already. Their point defences are excellent on the ship, but the hyperspatial bypass itself has only light defences. Earth militaries don't even need to destroy it completely, just smashing the power generator will shut it down. Heck, just damaging its systems a bit would alter the displacement effect too much for it to be safe for the fleet to use it.
On the down side, my wound is oozing. A-and it really hurts. It's not leaking blood as fast as it was so I think the blood vessels must be healing or.. something. Since I've got a little breathing room I should fabricate some sort of… Maybe I can just repair the armour? Actually, how much power-?
A little under nine percent remaining.
Oh. Oh well, looks like having the personal lantern in subspace is going to pay-. The minigun turret blazes away as a foolhardy marine tries sticking his head around the door. Another corpse for the pile. I'm getting plenty of fear from them but they're not sodding getting a clue! And… If I try recharging I'll lose my constructs. The turret and what's left of my construct armour. Fabricating Apokoliptian armour is fairly power intensive… I can't risk it.
My other ring warns me when the power gets low.
Yes, the fall off in functionality. The Qwardian who made this ring considered that to be a 'bug'. The idea of making a weapon that wouldn't kill people despite still having power offended him quite profoundly.
How fast can the recharge be made to happen?
If you speak the oath quickly, about five seconds.
I have to speak the oath every time?
Yes.
Fricking orange lantern doesn't make me say the oath every time.
Chin up, Corpsman. You will most likely be dead soon and then it will be someone else's problem.
Thank you. This is what I get for rushing off almost entirely uncocked when I spotted Gonzo. How far do I think the two shots of Garrick I've got left will take me? Heck, I'm in communications…
"John, you still there?"
"Still here. The US and Israel are in the process of scrambling their aircraft. About half the Thanagarian fighters have moved out to form a perimeter and most of the rest are on guard duty around the bypass generator. The Command Carrier is moving up out of the atmosphere. You need any help in there?"
"I don't suppose you ever learned to do anything medical with your ring, did you?"
"Sorry. Wasn't part of the Corps' training program. I didn't even know they could do more than splint broken bones 'till I saw you do it. You hurt?"
"Yeah."
"Bad?"
"If I were Human I'd be dead. As it is I want to lie down and do nothing for a -eureh- week or two."
"I was planning on heading down to the bypass generator, see if I can help out with the fighters. But if you need evac…"
Do I? "Okay, they don't have the resources to build a second bypas-." I take a hurried step to the side as a marine sticks his gun around the doorway and tries firing blind for a few seconds before the turret construct puts a round through his weapon. Sticking the turret outside would be better but they've gotten rather good at smashing constructs. "Uh. If the air forces take care of it, their mission is a failure and the attack doesn't happen."
"And the Earth doesn't get destroyed."
"But Commander Talak is a shockingly callous man. If they have orbital supremacy they might shoot up a few cities just to make a point. Okay. Can you teleport on board the Command Carrier?"
"I'm afraid not."
"Can you teleport near the ship? If you wreck their FTL system-."
"They'd get stranded."
"No, their shuttles are FTL capable. They'll have to abandon all of their other equipment in order to evacuate, but they could do it. Always leave them room to run."
"Then why not just leave them the Command Carrier? If I take out main weapons control-."
"Weapons control isn't centralised. And that wouldn't stop them grabbing a few asteroids and dropping them. No, we need… The soldiers have heard what I've been saying. They're trying to ignore it, but they know that their commander is perfectly happy to kill everyone as long as he destroys New Gordane as well. They're working through it, but they're scared. If the bypass gets destroyed and they've only got one way out, I think they'll take it. Plus, I-" Wait, what's happening? The marines outside communications are pulling back. "-need this ship for phase two."
"Phase two? You forget to mention something?"
"Originally, I wanted a new super team to defeat the Thanagarians. Then I found out about the President. Now, I want to present myself as the 'opposing force'." Once my insides have knitted back together, at least.
"Think you might be skipping a step." There's a pause. "Okay, Batman's back. I'll head down to the teleporter."
"Make sure you hit the ship in the right place. It's right next to the primary generator."
"Could it explode?"
"I don't think so. Thanagarian engineering is pretty solid, but we'd have to make massive repairs if the ship does a forced shutdown."
"Right."
Three grenades fly towards the doorway and the minigun turret tracks and destroys them before they get any distance into the room. They explode anyway… And the turret construct goes down. Ring what?
The explosive was seeded with trace amounts of Nth metal, Corpsman. They appear to be playing 'area denial'.
Oh dear. I create a new turret construct a little further back, behind a construct barrier. One of the marines sticks the head of his mace out and the turret shoots it, sending it flying out of his hand. Ah hell, I can still see it. I send out a filament and pull it back into the communications room and my right hand. Another volley of grenades come in. The turret automatically shoots the first which detonates as before. I pull the turret construct back before it can be destroyed while I use the barrier to knock the other grenades back through the doorway.
Ring, exactly how power intensive is transmutation?
They're all wearing breathing equipment. Chlorine won't do you much good, Corpsman.
"I was thinking dioxygen difluoride. Just enough to force them back."
Between one and two percent. If you're evacuating soon you can probably risk it.
Right then. "Soldiers of Thanagar. Burn!"

Is it not possible to make a ring that still operates at full capacity until it literally doesn't have enough juice to do so, but ALSO warns the user when it gets to about 20% or lower?
That would be the sensible thing to do.

You may want to make dioxygen difluoride a link to a description. I know perfectly well what it is, but it's not a well known chemical.
For everyone reading right now: Imagine if the concepts of 'fire', 'death' and 'unstoppable chemical nightmare' were imbodied in a chemical with the deceptively playful name "FOOF".

Ah, traditional SB/SV tactics. FOOF for what ails you.
Typos:
"do"
"tries"
Either "shockingly callous" or "a shockingly callous commander".
To be fair, he's lost a good bit of blood. Chances are, he's not thinking clearly. Not to mention having a Yellow Power Ring, that alone can cross a few wires in someone's head.
