Probably. Ask me if I care anymore. Honestly, at this point I play the game despite new story developments, not because of them.

To be fair, y'know, that's something they can share. I mean, wasn't Positron an energy form for some period of time? Or was that just the not-quite-canon comic?

All three are contradictory. Life goes on.

But yes, until he was resurrected by the Dark Watcher at the end of the Top Cow comics, he was raw energy, contained inside his armor after losing control of his powers during the Rikti War. After Positron's armor was breached during the fight with the Honoree and the Rikti (killing Psyche, Synapse, and Manticore, plus Posi himself), when DW brought him and the others in the Phalanx back to life, he restored Posi's body back to normal, granting him control of his powers once again.

*embarrassed shrug* (I had to learn all this when I started writing TCoSR. I is geek.)

Be that as it may, yes, I'm sure he can relate to Numina on some level because of that... by the same token, he could relate to War Witch and even Ghost Widow - all three women (aside from being dead) are trapped in their astral/ghost form.

Just still begs the question of why Posi still lugs around that bulky armor?

The real question is- who is Antimatter contacting on Primal Earth, and is he planning on turning against Tyrant?

It's bullet proof, has a sensor suite, computer uplinks, and all the other neat stuff that comes part and parcel with comic book power armor?

All of my characters are bullet resistant in some manner, regardless of AT or Origin. Even the most cautious controller or dominator takes the occasional Council rocket to the face or gets set on fire. The AT determines how strong whatever I come up with as an excuse is (a 'telekinetic' gravity controller can generate a forcefield strong enough to take a hit or three. A tactile telekinetic Invulnerability tanker can basically shrug off missile hits all day). Except when he can't... stupid BAF turrets.

I think he, and maybe Marchand, might go rogue at some point - rats leaving the sinking ship

It's necessary for his powers. He doesn't generate enough antimatter on his own to do anything useful. Or not, depending on who's writing and the phase of the moon.

I'm sure he and Anti-Matter could generate plenty of sparks together.

I'm thinking the message that Anti-matter sent was to someone with Vanguard. My guess either Dark Watcher or lady Grey.

Dark Watcher isn't female, as far as I know

I think Anti-Matter just wants the war to stop, not for Tyrant to actually be removed from power, as all the Praetors would go down with the dictatorship too.

Not too sure do we even know if it was sent to someone on Primal? I'll admit to just giving a cursory glance, but couldn't it also be potentially a leak to someone in the Resistance?

This was my 1st thought- Vanessa DeVore perhaps? (It would make the invasions even more fun if various groups of Resistance popped up randomly to assist you...)

Primal Earth candidates would certainly include Lady Gray, Ms. Liberty (highly unlikely though), possibly even Sis Psyche. Possibly even GW or Kalinda (Though how a ghost has email is beyond me...)

Well, aside from being dead, that parrot in the Python skit was a great pet.

I would agree that he could "relate to" them in the sense of "understand what it is like to be in their situation." Instead, it appears that our Esteemed Author(s) mean "going on patrol together," which is about as discreetly as it can be put, to which I discreetly say, "Blecccch!"

Time to sing the MST3000 song and just relax. Geez Louise.

I am learning that ghosts have TONS of abilities one would not have thought they have!

Again I say: "Blecch!"

*sings* "... I should really just relax"

Okay, I am just going to go put some baddies in jail. Sheesh.

I was thinking Tina McIntyre.

Different reactions. Some folks learned of the Positron/Numina pairing and tossed their coffee. Others tossed their cookies.

Considering everything that's happened in the game's story since launch? I'd the story might need more than a few of them to be looked at.
