552 | Doctor Gunner

You have outlived your usefulness… and then he brakes her neck, (Fatality)

I know that prolly is not gonna happen but when he makes that face I can’t think of anything else he may do. 

Naveed: “Well, duh, of course it’s shattered. It was hit by a freakin’ Stickle Hammer!”

Gunner is a smoooooooooth criminal

So psys have x-ray vision?  Neato! 

Particularly Gunner. More on that with next week’s page!

She’s wondering if he just admitted caring for her.

He sort of implies it, but doesn’t say it. “I sacrificed them to protect you, because I don’t care about them.”

He at least said he likes her more than them. It sent her little black heart all aflutter.

Yeah, getting hit by a giant hammer swung by a peeved sickle will do that…

Dang you guys do such an awesome job of keeping Gunner at just the right balance of love him/hate him.

:
could we like not call it X-ray vision…that shit is the lamest “super power” ever invented.

In reality, it would be sort of a mental echo-location. Where you “sense” and draw a mental image of the ‘hidden’.

I guess it’s the Star Wars in me that ridicules “X-ray Vision”. :P

Proof once again that Stickle technology shatters everything it touches, no matter how simple. XD

 its probably a little more than the injury, she is just a big cat and those
of us that have ever had a cat know all too well that, although still loyal, one moment they
can be the bain of your entire existence, black hearted, cruel and
indiscriminate in their sinister rampages of unbridled destruction,….but then the next minute
they are so timid, repressed and begging for your undying attention and
forgiveness.

or they just act like they didnt do anything….so you shoot them with the water gun again…or run them around in circles with a lazer pointer till they are too tired to terrorize.

gunner acts similar to someone i know,  i cannot trust him due to the fact that i know  he will turn on anyone in a heartbeat if it suites his needs and he has everyone else fooled, all i can do is catch the victims as they fall into his mind trap.

this will be interesting to see gunners true intentions toward naveed, whether heartfelt and personal….or just plain sinister.

she needs to get a bionic left arm, that way she and Reona can be twins!

Would you prefer “Penetration Vision”?

;)

Well, the script botched up that reply completely. How fun.

Once, Pascalle talked about how she didn’t understand why anyone would empathize with Naveed. Something visceral wants me to believe that she will turn from her dark, stupid ways and join the good guys. I don’t know why, but this “page” only reinforces it. I keep thinking she’ll realize how unbelievably cruel Gunner is, and that he doesn’t care for her at all, and she’ll defect. Maybe she’ll never be trusted on the other side, but she’ll at least stop working for the bad guys. Perhaps in the future she’ll be able to prove herself to the Good Guys ;)

Just lost in my own little fantasy world here :)

Gunner is a master of manipulation. He says and does just enough to get the reaction he wants out of people.

So, I guess the guy you know is a manipulator too. They are not good people to be friends with. :/

 Oh, he’ll penetra–

Nevermind.

manteca, bigote, gigante, pequeño
cabeza es nieve cerveza es buena

yeah boy, boy
yeah
what, it’s 2009
word

It’s totally plausible to me.  Stargate Atlantis gave McKay healing, mind-reading and telekinetic powers in the “Tao of Rodney”, when he nearly “ascended” (aka became a super psychic ball of energy)…Yes, I just referenced SGA…and I enjoy lame names for things. ;) 

yin and Yang my friend, in the most evil of us all there is a small spark of good, as there is the temptation for sin in even the most saintly among us.  Gunner and Naveed’s tender moments aside. Fyckem.

you know the old adage,..keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

so long as i can throw a life preserver to those who get sucked in then it is an acceptable risk till he falls prey to himself.

Plausible deniability.

For bullets we’ve been socially engineered by science fiction for decades to turn the concept of psycho-kinetic telepaths, being so adept at utilizing their latent abilities and their talent being powerful as to, sensing bullets at a great distance and being subconsciously fast enough in cerebral reflex as to affect them (as well as pseudo-theories of psycho-kinesis acting in a sub-dimensional level that circumvent reality/bends onto 4th dimension, et cetera divination/clairvoyance ability pseudo-theories) onto believable reality.

However, there is no fiction (admittedly – that I’m aware of), with supportive pseudo-theories as to overcome the difficulty-encumbering factors involved with mending bones telekinetically. As well this raises the issue of just how powerful is the individual, as the level required would be by far exceeding that of a ‘mere’ “force choke” or bullets. We’re talking affecting the bio-sphere at the nano level, an entire section of the biosphere at that – manipulating and controlling millions of micron objects at once.

The thing I’ve always liked about sci fi and fantasy type stuff is that rules and physics and stuff can be broken and redesigned to make things ‘work’ however you want.  Isn’t that the point?   

That said, if the desire to make it plausible within some sciency logic is there, I actually think that if some character has the ability to manipulate large objects with their minds, telekinetically or whatever, then wouldn’t it actually be easier for them to manage some smaller biological scale healing?  I mean stopping a bullet with your mind, you’re simultaneously altering the physical laws of like everything on trillions of billions of metallic atoms.  That sounds like it would take a whole hecka lot of mental brain power to me.  However if someone were to focus on a few hundred or few thousand atoms at a time to induce a healing regrowth or physical remerging of broken atomic bonds, that seems like it’d be less energy intensive.  Sure it would take time to heal something as drastic as Naveed’s shattered arm but if Gunner were to start inducing regrowth of bone atoms around her arm over say the next hour that sounds like an easier task than stopping a bullet which among other things would involve stopping all momentum, displacing all forms of energy, preventing all repercussions from breaking laws of cause and effect on the system within which the bullet is interacting and doing all that in a matter of milliseconds or less.  But then I’m probably overthinking this.  Please carry on with the awesome story, I don’t care much if it fits some logical picture of “science.”  I deal enough with real science already.

I wonder if anyone noted that when he tells naveed that he doesn’t caer about the others he doesn’t exactly state that he cares about naveed. He just lets her fill in that blank …

I’ve known friends who have had relationships very much like that …

Whatever Gunner does it won’t be just to cause pain – he has a plan so if he rips the arm off or whatever, it will be according to his plan for Naveed.

Just my 5 pence …

The Reply button failed to show so I guess I’ll have to answer to myself.
@lepas:disqus Admittedly it is somewhat ridiculous. At this point I’m basically like a StarTrek nerd pulling out some data sheets to argue why The Enterprise-B should win a fight versus a Vor’cha or something. And when it gets to fanboy fiction arguments…well…ridiculous is an understatement. So I’ll just withdraw at this point before I embarrass myself further.
