Time Prophet…The First Assassin?
I think there were only a few of the super assassins or divine executioners. And they may not have originally been dead humans the way the divine assassins were–it looked almost like they came out of a breeding chamber.
*Squish: I haven’t seen any of the new season so I’m going by what other’s have told me, but I don’t remember anyone mentioning flashbacks to the cluster, how do you know about the breeding chambers?
I know in IWHS, Kai was housed in like a huge morgue of assassins, but I don’t think we ever got to see where the Divine executioners were held.
I got the impression that her purpose for going to Earth was specificallly to kill Kai and then to destroy humanity. She couldn’t really destroy the planet until the wait for Kai was over.
As uberfrosch mentioned in her mail,Vlad must have been ordered to go after Kai between IWHS and Gigashadow when the Lexx was first in the Dark Universe.
The Time Prophet either didn’t know or didn’t tell her that it would take Kai 4,000 years to reach the Earth. Or maybe she didn’t ask! So she was stuck in her cryopod conserving her protoblood much longer than expected.
And I also agree with uberfrosch that the destruction of humanity , though originally also ordered by HDS, became moreof a sadistic pleasure than an absolute necessity once she found out HDS was dead. ButVlad has to destroy Kai not just because she is ordered to do so but because that is her nature, her thirst for protoblood can never be satiated.
*Squish: I have a little theory that the cycle of time has begun again (before Fire and Water), now if she didn’t know whether Kai would arrive or not, then she would have carried out her second objective…destroying Earth, the time prophet must have told her when Kai was to arrive, as otherwise she could have waited an eternity not knowing if Kai would ever arrive (but she knew he would eventually), she would have to cut her losses when her Protoblood became low and destroyed humanity.
She doesn’t appear to follow her programming to the letter, so maybe she wasn’t dependent on Kai’s arrival as much as we think.
But if the cycle of time is correct, then Earth would still have to be about, even after she got rid of Kai, she may choose to enslave the planet, but destroying it would upset the cycle of time, unless some humans escaped the planet.
Don’t you think other Divine Assassins might have run amok because of mechanical problems? They wouldn’t have to regain their memories, they would just be unstoppable killing machines. Anyway, the idea of the Divine Executioners is such a cool one, I’m willing to suspend disbelief here.
*Squish:I did actually say that the first assassins may not have functioned properly, so there would have been a need for a higher force to keep them in check, what I was trying to say is, that it is unlikely other assassins would go the same way as Kai.
I doubt that mechanical failure would have resulted in a killing spree, in that instance they probably would have had problems with their motor functions (like Kai did on Fire), they still had a brain though and maybe the Bio-Viziers were not able to supress all their memories, maybe that’s why HDS took their memories, because the Bio-Viziers could not overcome that problem.
