Here or there, it doesn't matter where I am because regardless of location, you still hold me prisoner. However, I've learned it doesn't matter how many times I tell you that I've got better things to do than be your pawn in that foolish game, since you're more interested in your own entertainment than anything else.

At least show some common sense and get me a Red Lantern Battery. As much as I loathe The Oath, being almost completely powerless during the Dark Aeon's invasion was embarrassing and made me into little more than a target at times. I may not be afraid to die, but there's nothing worse than a death that serves no purpose. Give me something to fight with so I can make myself useful the next time the city falls under siege!

I'm guessing "Red Lantern" isn't just a brand name.

Hardly. It's a faction of vengeance driven, rage fueled Lanterns bent on destroying Guardian Space.

Sounds... angry. And not exactly like the useful during city sieges type.

Rage literally fuels their powers. The angrier a Red Lantern gets, the stronger they become. And given how selfish they tend to be, the only thing they'll defend is their own city ship.

Though I have my own reasons for taking up a Red Lantern ring, I disagreed with the methods of the group and defected. They may be useless at defending much of anything, but I am not.

So basically the Hulk on a bad day. Gotcha.

I can't say I'm too fond of "magical" rings, but hey, if you're using it for good who am I to argue? Have you looked into a different power source? Any tech can be modified if you know what you're doing.

As I'm not familiar with anyone named "Hulk", I can't say.

Power rings can't be modified, not to my knowledge. They're seemingly based on a spectrum of emotions, the rings borne out of their corresponding "emotional elements." How one obtains a ring also seems dependent on what kind of ring it is as there are certain...requirements. One can't simply drop one type of ring and take up another on a whim.

[Skirting around the issue a bit, there. Still, it's not like he's obligated to offer details of a personal nature.]

Ehhh, big green guy, basically indestructible, really fond of smashing stuff. Trying to take him down generally just makes him angrier. And stronger.

Any technology can be modified. There must be some sort of neural link established for them to be connected to emotion... I'd have to get a better look at one of those things to say for sure, of course. Not asking you to hand yours over or anything, since it's not much use getting this knowledge outside a game and all.

And hopefully the city won't be under siege again for a long time.

[Hesitating before asking.]

Red Lantern Battery?

You have been...captured?

I don't place much in hoping that something won't happen again for a while.

[He frowns, not answering immediately. Explaining the situation here won't change anything in Nautilus, however, so...]

I require a battery to charge my ring. I assume that one day, I'll be able to rely wholly on bending to keep it charged, but for now...I need the assistance.

[A moment of confusion, but...no, this is not the Aya who has been forced into Nautilus alongside him.]

All of us have been, Aya. Anyone held by a mundane is technically a prisoner until released. Or perhaps slave might be the more accurate term, since they give us little choice in doing their bidding.

Interesting... Strength through rage and yet he is green.

[His lip curls a little, Razer feeling as though the true weight of what it means to bear a power ring isn't getting through to this one.]

Rumor has it that the original Red Lantern power ring and central battery were created through blood rites and borne out of rage. How the Guardians of Oa forge green power rings and batteries, I do not know. They are, however, one of the most ancient races in existence. If any of this is truly based in technology, it's far beyond my own knowledge.

Well if you want to be technical, it's strength through gamma radiation.

[He just finished putting a stop to an alien invasion with a few other people and the person leading the invasion had ten powerful rings that could warp reality. He's pretty over magic rings right now.]

Blood rites? I'll believe it when I see it. If they're so old, their technology is probably so advanced it looks like magic to anyone who doesn't understand how it really works.

[Likewise, it took Aya .892 seconds to realize this was somehow a "different" Razer than the one she usually conversed with]

It has been my understanding until now that a mun is this world's equivalent of a Captain, much as Green Lantern Hal Jordan once commanded the Interceptor.

Was I mistaken in this comparison?
