"It's an awful lot of people to just misplace, isn't it?" Ghost said, musing, "the Central Headquarters for Expertise in Supers' Service wouldn't be my first choice by incidence rate, but by sheer numbers... possibly. I'll compile the dossiers for you, Darc; it's a long list, longer if you go with possibilities instead of certainties. Off the top of my head, Sorceress Supreme Zenteno fit the bill and then some, she'd be suspect number one if she hadn't exploded last year."<br/><br/>He shook his head, "anyway I'll rank them by previous activity, time out of circulation, likelihood of actually being dead, all that. It's not a problem. What<em>is</em>a problem is..." he turned to Tabs, his voice testy. One might think he wasn't being entirely logical or reasonable about the prospect of making nice with the friendly neighborhood swarm AI, "you understand she wants to rule the world, right? If it were something you could just program out of her we'd have done it already."<br/><br/>Boushh's chortle sounded more like the sound one would expect of a fish rather than a humanoid as ze tapped away on a wrist computer, "hold on, hold on, let me get the... let's say the Binoe-language entry on humans..." one trawl to the GalactaWiki later, "hmhmhmhm, laser eyes, invulnerable carapace, eighty sesvor in diameter... oh here we go, peerless conqueror of planets, offer tribute but not<em>too</em>nice tribute and if they get too interested in where it came from the answer is always it came from your enemies."<br/><br/>Another Ghost-facepalm, "they've never even met a human, have they?"<br/><br/>"Correct!" a scroll down, "oh, no, maybe. It looks like there's an... yes, an edit war going on over whether a thing they met was really human. I can't blame them, he was on fire. Ooh, he keeps trying to say he is and that the entry is wrong but the rules are no original sources."<br/><br/>"Boushh, what's your point?"<br/><br/>"You had<em>so many</em>heroes who wanted to rule worlds. Anyway I agree with Tabs, she sounds useful. We could get a couple of her for the zeppelin to sweep the place out and give these presentations and re-certify Kanina so I wouldn't have to do it. It wouldn't hurt to let her try."<br/><br/>Ghost sighed. "If I tell you no, that's only going to encourage you, isn't it?" He might have actually been learning who he was dealing with! "You understand it'll be impossible to completely keep an eye on her. There might end up being legions of her, except... you... were apparently six-dimensional and on multiple worlds at once at one point so screw it, maybe you can figure something out."<br/><br/>"Hooray!" Boushh clapped zir hands, "so, while you plan that, Kanina, we need you to shoot some targets and fly through some hoops and demonstrate that you can still do quippage like a bounty hunter. It shouldn't take long."<br/><br/>Ghost nodded, switching off the presentation with a flick. "Good. There's something I need to tell Darc about as well while you're at that."
