AN EYE FOR AN EYE - [modplot]

I'm also getting word that the Spectre has decided to grace the UP with his presence again -- with the worst timing ever.

Takron-Galtos is under attack, and he's killing many of the inmates inside. Due to the attack and the tech failures, the prison's security team is also failing at securing the inmate population, and need help preventing the uprising that's fomenting.

I'm sending a team to defend the lives of the inmate population and use the Spear of Destiny and trap the Spectre once and for all. You'll also be responsible for securing the prison to make sure none of the prisoners take advantage of the chaos being caused by the Spectre and the Brainiac to escape.

You'll be operating with very little chance of backup. With the mechanoforms, we're already outnumbered several hundred thousand to one on Colu. This team is going to have work independently, with little outside assistance, and may have to contend with emergency t-gate failures causing extraction to be impossible until the Brainiac crisis is over.

Due to the...theological implications and the Spectre's MO being affected by personal history, this mission is going to rely on volunteers.

For those that haven't faced the Spectre before, I'll be sending you a case file on our past encounters and how he operates.

[She draws in a deep breath.]

Releasing him to defeat Galactus was one of our only options, but this is still our mess. It's time to clean it up once and for all.

I will face God and walk backwards into Hell.

Nerd jokes aside, any God worth following ought to be more concerned with the trillions of sentients at risk right now than punishing the ones who've done harm.
headinjuries: but if it involves thor and doritos, i'm in (i'm not even 100% sure what it is)

Yeah.

You know, I feel like a lot of religions are super "why do people worship this guy again" when you actually look at them. Like, Greek mythology, what the hell is that.

Couldn't tell you, I haven't managed to cram comparative theology into my schedule yet. Maybe it's more of a "the powers of the universe are largely ambivalent to you" more than a "god loves you" kind of thing?
headinjuries: this is not even the first time i've woken up in a shopping cart with a concussion. (the saddest part is)

[personal profile] headinjuries 2017-08-24 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe? Like, most of the Greek myths I know about read more like "the gods hate you and will go out of their way to be a dick to you," honestly.

It's basically metaphor for "The people in charge can and probably will be jerks to you for no apparent reason."

Dril is an ever-flowing fountain of wisdom. Or something, anyways.

How have our lives become something where a shitpost literally applies?
