Guy said that the other lanterns follow the Guardians first and foremost maybe that would give the league reason to intervene or Guy.

Ring did the information that Guy Gardner sent us include the Guardians laws?

Hmm, if the Genomorphs are hiding things how might they be doing that.

Ring can we map the entire complex and compare it to Cadmus records of the layout using scans with similar risk of detection as those we've already done?

"Affirmative."

Do the scan and show me a map highlight the undocumented areas for me.

"Compliance."

According to the official plans filed with the city, Cadmus Labs is a small two-story building, with no mention made of its 52 sub-levels. Cadmus’ internal version of these plans is much more accurate, although it has some errors, particularly in the lower sub-levels, which have some rooms and hallways that look almost organic. There is also a sizable cavern deep below Cadmus, connected to the floor above by a few obscure passages.

After the league does whatever they're going to do. If that doesn't address the Genomorphs what can she do.

Can you protect me from telepathic programming attempts? And can you do that while still allowing telepathic conversations?

Permalink

"Affirmative; negative."

Permalink

Could you form an interface that a telepath could use to speak through?

Permalink

"Unable to comply; 'interface' insufficiently specified."

Permalink

She chuckles, yeah that was a long shot. Which species of Genomorphs can speak verbally?

Permalink

"The G-Goblin."

Permalink

Could you detect the difference between programming attempts and communication?

She's now out of ideas, she decides to walk around the park while waiting to hear back from Batman.

Permalink

After another twenty minutes or so, he calls back.

"Would you mind coming up to the watchtower? We'd like to speak with you, and this is best done in person."

Permalink

"I'll be right there."

Ring transition try to identify a location just inside the entrance.

Permalink

The ring transitions her there, successfully identifying an airlock. Shortly after she arrives, it opens to admit her.

Standing inside the watchtower's main hall are: Batman, Superman, two Green Lanterns, and a guy in a green costume with a quiver on his back.

Permalink

"Hello there. I'm Sapphire Eyestone."

Permalink

The guy in the green costume doesn't respond. He looks distracted, like he's going through some stuff right now.

"Thank you for coming. I would like to appraise you of our plans and ask you to keep enough secrets for those plans to succeed. The Green Lanterns and I have been looking through the data you sent us, and we think we've found the important parts. If there's something you've discovered which we haven't, please say so. Any questions so far?"

Permalink

"I understand, I did take more scans while I was waiting. Ring send the scans we did since the last transfer."

Permalink

"Compliance."

One of the Green Lanterns starts staring off into space.

"Officially speaking, Cadmus Labs is owned by Lex Luthor, although I strongly suspect they have other backers. Luthor is, and has been, strongly suspected of numerous crimes, although he's careful enough that he's never actually been convicted of anything. He is intelligent, careful, and ruthless. I mention this because I want you to understand that Cadmus' activities—although they are troubling on their own—are most likely in support of some long-term plan on Luthor's part, and we'd like to figure out what that is. What has us most worried is that Speedy, Green Arrow's former sidekick"—he gestures towards the man in green—"was apparently, abducted and replaced with a clone three years ago, and none of us noticed. Furthermore, there are references towards 'programming' the clone, which leads us to believe that he was intended as a sleeper agent, to what end we don't know."

"When the League was founded, I asked Green Lantern for information about his capabilities. As you have probably already discovered, power rings are incredibly effective information-gathering tools. The Green Lanterns aren't able to use this ability to place the planet under constant surveillance in part because corps rules prohibit breaches of privacy unless a certain standard of suspicion is met. Furthermore, while Earth does not have the technologies to foil power ring scans, it is possible, maybe even easy, to do so with the use of magic. For the past ten years, we have kept secret the full extent of these capabilities, in order to prevent our adversaries from learning how vulnerable they truly are and taking countermeasures. That has allowed us to take advantage of this information when it was most important, which has saved countless lives."
