"Gryphon's power armor"
 
   Has an author explanation ever been given for why Gryphon can't summon his Asgardian battle armor from Twilight in Midgard? I reread Last Transport the other day and saw the part where even Skuld couldn't figure out why he was unable to summon it. Is it just a matter of it being too powerful and convenient of a plot device for him to be able to summon it anytime and anywhere he needs to like he could with the previous versions of his power armor?

Genius by birth, slacker by choice.

This is a little like getting up during the show and asking the magician how he did that, isn't it?

Anyway, maybe I'm just fucking with him. It's my sandbox, after all. :)

Don't be ridiculous.

Sometimes it's because you want to _sleep with_ your mother.

The Freudian interpretation has a strict gender bias. Men hate their fathers and desire their mothers; for women it's the other way around.

Freud was a bit daft. And a blue-ribbon coke fiend, too!*

It came with them; I turned them off. Graphical smilies are for teenage girls.

   Interestingly, he wasn't just a crack-fuelled maniac. If it weren't for the whole psychoanalysis thing, he'd still be well known - as the inventor of cocaine-based anaesthetics. Novocaine, f'rinstance.

Also, smilies are killing english language. We're regressing into cave pictures at the expense of the written word. I give humankind about three years.

No indeed. Not just.

On the other hand, the man thought cocaine was a cure for morphine addiction. But then it was a pharmacologically credulous era. People at around the same time thought that heroin wasn't addictive (in fact, it was specifically invented as a non-addictive replacement for codeine!) and that radium was good for you. It was not a safe time to be seeing a doctor. :)

--G.
OK, and technically crack wouldn't be invented for another 50 years or so, but...

   There's a line of thought that says a civilisation can only be considered civilised if its doctors cure more people than they kill...

   Maybe he tore it down for a rebuild/upgrade, and he just hasn't had time to put it together again. Everytime he puts aside some time to work on it, another crisis pops up. It's like some diety is conspiring against him. 8P

I believe that it was stated somewhere that ever since Skuld rebuilt it, the armor isn't capable of manifesting on Midgard, only in Asgard.

My search-fu is weak today.

In "Last Transport":

"-If- he could have activated his Asgardian battle armor, he might have had a chance, and he -ached- for the opportunity... but the armor, forged in the fires of the Ragnarok, would not answer the summons in Midgard, a problem even Skuld herself had never been able to fix."
