So what the hell is the canonical relationship between heaven and hell, anyways? :V

Presumably, in the beginning, @Ragnarok created Heaven and @GWG created Hell and the two have been trying to reconcile hem ever since then

Technically, I figured out some details about heaven first.

What were those details? Seeing as we haven't heard much about heaven so far.

Well, originally, whoever Heaven decided would make a good cog in the celestial machine went to heaven and whoever didn't went to some demon.
Then people started destroying that.

Where does the Internet find the time to make this crap?

It's the internet yo.

True. And I just finished a compilation of clips from various parodies of Let It Go, so I don't have much room to complain.

Anyways, again--what kind of trap does leaving through a route other than the door, or staying in the elevator, lead to a better situation than dealing with the problem?

So you can slip out the back before they know you were there, at the worst you'll see that nobody cares. You don't want to be around when it all goes down, even heroes know when to be scared.

Assuming that they somehow don't notice that you're cutting your way out of the elevator, and that you go somewhere safer, and that they don't follow/head you off.

Is there a universal psychokinetic amplifier, and if so, how much does it cost? (And why isn't it on the armory list?)

There probably is, but from the folks we've seen suspected to have one...either you need to hook up various vital brain bits to amp stuff, or you need whatever happened to the AM (which is probably dangerous, expensive, and stupid to give random convicts).

Yeah I'm just gonna say you shoulda landed a bit harder then you did, to knock the excess rocket off.

In retrospect, yes. At the time...the difference between "hardware-assisted lithobraking" and "litho breaking all my hardware" is pretty hard to determine.

I specifically noted space stations as being among the few things that make sense to assemble in space--and they make no sense to launch from an orbital launch pad, which is the thing we're discussing! See, the big problem with space stations is less aerodynamics and more structural strength. If you make a space station strong enough to survive being strapped on a rocket, you've wasted a lot of resources on structural material that you really didn't need to.

Aerodynamics? Remind me, what kind of space ships are you building, that it's easier to make all-aerodynamic parts--as well as hauling up all the other little bits that let you assemble the thing in orbit--than to make the whole thing aerodynamic (or add a few small fairings to cover the un-aerodynamic bumps)?

Yes and...um...maybe.

I might not have thought this through.

Oh, so you're talking about modifying a scythe and not making a scythe for war?

And the V-K test measured empathy, not emotion. The two are not the same.

Empathy, by way of emotional responses.

...And this is a good thing, how?

Because...
