Did Emerald One not listen? The little girl said, “Don’t ever bother our dimension again without consulting myself or Doctor Von Fogg or you will regret it.” Sending a strike force is not “consulting!” So the answer to my first question was, “Apparently not.” Prepare for regret, Green Goof.
Before anyone gets confused by this page, The Singularity only sent Kevin and Julie back to Earth. Lady Alexandra Von Fogg used her own gear (and the knowledge she had gained from the Emerald Ones) to send herself and the Emerald Gauntlet Sr. home. (Which, given the fact that her mom and dad consider themselves the Emerald Gauntlet’s greatest foe is rather charitable on her part. She could have easily left him behind and chose not to. Her brother would not have made that choice.)
She’s also left behind a very nasty surprise to enforce her threat to them about not invading Earth’s dimension. She’s not some Republic Serial villain, who tells you their plans while there is still time to thwart them. What did she do? That would be telling!
Meanwhile, Moon Shadow and Ron are still on Argos…
Admittedly, I haven’t read the comic book, but couldn’t taking Emerald Gauntlet Senior back to Earth just be a way of making sure Dad doesn’t get upset he doesn’t get to best his archrival personally?
Prairie Son, she didn’t use the Emerald Gauntlet’s powers, she used her own tech to open a wormhole (excuse me, “transflow conduit”) to Earth. She did so by observing how the Emerald Ones sent Kevin to The Singularity’s home dimension, an advanced understanding of quantum mechanics and the weapon/computer vambrace she wears on her wrist. She didn’t have to bring Gauntlet Sr. along; maybe she feels she owes him a debt of gratitude for the assistance he’s been to her in the Emerald Ones’ dimension, or maybe she’s starting to grow a conscience after hanging around Kevin for too long. Or maybe she’s annoyed with her parents for sending her to Praetorian Academy and decided to make sure their archnemesis is going to continue to thwart their plans. (She’d never do anything against her parents directly; they’re family and a Von Fogg places family loyalty above all else. That’s why Victor and Lady Alexandra haven’t killed each other.)
Lady Alexandra Von Fogg has probably left some form of logic bomb to shutdown the Emerald Ones systems. She brought Emerald Gauntlet Sr. back with her so she can check and see if it worked. (He’s shuts down, they’re shut down.)
The future is really just one big math problem. If you’re aware of all the variables and the proper formula to use, calculating the outcome wouldn’t be difficult.
Alas, I don’t believe that’s true. I think quantum mechanics says some events are truly random (like radioactive decay) and thus the future is not deterministic and can’t be calculated with certainty, only with probabilities.
I respectfully disagree, even though I am aware of several formulas for persuasion and transactional analysis. I’ve seen no evidence that mathematics is the key to predicting the future. Most people can guess future events with 60-80% accuracy anyway, thus rendering it superfluous. Although, I should point out, that it’s entirely posible to use motivational interviewing and nero linguistic programing to hedge an outcome. It still doesn’t help you figure out how to predict the stock market or win the lottery.
Predicting the stock market has more to do with human psychology, so the variables are people. The lottery is actually decided by a complex mathematical equation designed to create the illusion of randomness.
I think physics problem is more appropriate for telling the future. If you avoid over arching generalities and can computer all of the aspects of all of the components then theoretically you should be able to determine their future interactions. This assumes that we can know everything about everything in at least one point in time. Our current science sometimes has trouble observing multiple aspects such as location and velocity for some particle types and sizes. Luckily the act of measuring is not a nesicarily required for knowing and thus we have our loop hole.
Are you trying to re-invent Psychohistory? The math is actually supposed to be doable with our current knowledge, just that the proper equation still needs some tweaking.
Two of the emerald speech balloons are not prefaced with a descriptor. One might be a continuation of spontaneity. But both could be considered mumbling or muttering under ones breath. Possible goof up or illuminating realization about their society and language?
Supposition: Their language contains emotional and situational nuances and inflections that are best-fit with available translation hardware. Given that they possess distinctly non-human physique, it is reasonable to assume their thought processes, and therefore language, are similarly unusual.
Addendum: The author may like a certain droid. Meatbag.

He didn’t strike me as someone who was paying attention to what the “menial” said.
She’s not their race or the right color, ergo she is a lesser being.
Good thing that humans don’t do stuff like that.

I suspect she brought EG Sr along because she needed his gauntlet to access the Emerald Ones wormhole tech. Since she’s never used it since.

@My2Cents: She did something even worse than a mere logic bomb!
Only Piffany knows that recipe, and she ain’t telling. Though I want her to. :\

It’d work if you were an Arisian engaging in the “visualization of the Cosmic All”. (I just dated myself, didn’t I? And without C14…)

Yeah but what if she forgets to carry the one when she does the addition thingy?
