Sooooo.

Here's a bit of an awkward question:

How many of you guys have someone you don't exactly like holed up in one of those pods? And I don't just mean like "wow that guy's a dick" I'm talking more along the lines of "this guy is a GIANT dick and he will definitely try to kill us [ read: him ] when he wakes up."

Is there any way to...I don't know, pull the plug out of the pods? or something? Do you think we'd get in trouble for that?

[ A little casual accidentally-on-purpose murder never hurt anyone right? Like especially when it's for the greater good, which this totally is. ]

Okay but if she's so into saving people would she really kill one of them herself? Like, logically speaking there's a huge error there.

[beatupgrass]

If they threatened her big plan?

Definitely. Celestials are on a whole different wavelength in the logic department.

[rhygret]

Oh yeah you mentioned that before down below. Does that actually mean something?

[beatupgrass]

[No, you see. Here's the problem. You don't know the history of Celestials. I do.]

Yeah, it means that before this Storm thing, I was already dealing with a cosmic deity and now I got more of 'em.

[rhygret]

[ Teach him, Rocket-senpai ]

Well that...sucks. Besides the weird rule on killing people after they wake up these guys don't seem too bad? Overall. They did keep us from dying in The Storm.

Whatever that is.

[beatupgrass]

Yeah, that part I appreciate. And I feel like I can trust Darma to keep her word, but I'm still a little wiggy about the whole concept and what happens if something were to go wrong and she were to turn out not quite so nice.

[rhygret]

Isn't that like every person you've worked for ever though?

Not you specifically. Just the general "you." People are always great until you get to know them.

[beatupgrass]

I mean, most of those people are not frickin' gods.

[He says "most," but you know... Ego. And technically the Collector, but they never knew he was kind of a Celestial.] I can handle a shithead backstabber.

[rhygret]

Okay granted. Not that they don't think that though sometimes right? lol

[beatupgrass]

[good thing it's text so Rhys can't see that he actually laughed at that dumb joke.]

Tell me about it. You've probably never heard of the Sovereign, 'cause different galaxies and all, but those guys? God complexes out the ass. They're all genetically engineered and gold from head to toe. Can you get more pretentious than that?

[rhygret]

[ No, shh. It's okay Rocket Rhys would have loved to see that something he said finally went over well ]

Eugh, gross. They sound like Dahl one of the companies I know back home.

[ the strike through is deleted text, because that would out Rhys pretty fast of "Angie" is watching this. ]

Except for the genetically engineered gold part. They seriously do that?

[beatupgrass]

Hell yeah, they do. I dunno if it's an aesthetic choice or just a side effect of whatever mutagens they're using, but it looks freaky as shit.

[rhygret]

That's...weird. Why gold, of all things??

[beatupgrass]

Things covered in gold are universally considered more important than things not covered in gold.

[And somewhere a Lannister gets their wings.]

[rhygret]

[ i laughed ]

Okay point. Still...can you imagine those guys under a spotlight? Yeouch. The amount of glare they'd give off? They'd be literally painful to look at.

[beatupgrass]

Right? Must be why they don't have a natural sun. They'd freakin' sparkle themselves to death every time they walked outside.

[rhygret]

Wait they don't have a natural sun?? What happened to it? That seems like a pretty important thing not to have.

[beatupgrass]

I'm pretty sure it's 'cause blah blah the Sovereign don't revolve around anything. Their whole system is so jacked up, I don't even know how it functions.

[FIVE PLANETS. LIKE RIGHT ON TOP OF EACH OTHER. THAT SEEMS IMPROBABLE.]

[rhygret]

That's
That's not how planets WORK though?

[ Rocket what is wrong with these people good lord. ]

[beatupgrass]

RIGHT? Our universe has some fucked up planets. One of them is alive. Or was.

[Ego is kinda like Schrodinger's planet right now.]

[rhygret]

Alive as in full of life or...the other kind?

[ The VERY CREEPY kind because now he's thinking about it and wow would that be messed up. What would it eat? Would you stand on it's face if you lived there...? Would it talk?

Gross. ]

[beatupgrass]

[Would it fuck its way across the galaxy trying to create an identical powersource to its own and then try to destroy the universe??

We just don't know.]

The other kind. I don't get it either, man. I missed all the exposition on that one. Kinda glad too.
