Plot-bunny: Dark Angel / Buffy the Vampire Slayer
A while back ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lita_of_jupiter and I were discussing the fact that there aren’t enough stories with Daniel “Oz” Osborne in them. In going through some of my older files, I discovered anther idea centered around him.
This is set in the Dark Angel universe, but only looks at the first season.
One of the characters is Sebastian, a brilliant man who’s a hacker and general knowledge resource. He saves the day several times. He’s also a quadriplegic who speaks through some sort of futuristic voice box.
I think this is Oz.
Let’s go back eleven years to the Pulse, a terrorist attack that released an electromagnetic pulse over North America, destroying all electronic information and devastating the USA. No further explanation is given of it. Thus, I think that’s the cover story for what really happened, which was an apocalyptic event that wound up killing most of the Scoobies. In the end, the Scoobies won, but only with great sacrifice: they closed the hellmouths and removed all magic from the world. Willow did it. All the Slayers died, all the demons died, all the humans with mystical abilities were harmed.
Oz’s body, which had been a werewolf, did not react well to this change. He was left paralyzed.
Now, back to the present day, Max (a renegade supersoldier and the main character of Dark Angel) is being tracked by Lydecker (the man responsible for training the government’s child-supersoldiers and the show’s main bad guy.) However, Lydecker has made a few comments regarding having to report the progress to “her.” And whoever she is, he’s scared of her.
That, by the way, is Willow.
She’s the one who cast the spell way back when that stopped the apocalypse but also killed all the Slayers and paralyzed Oz and devastated the country and removed her own magic. She didn’t react any better to this loss than Oz did, but it didn’t show on the outside.
Instead, she is determined to bring magic back. But she can’t. She’ll bring something back, then. She’ll bring back an army of Slayers.
So she studies genetic engineering, creates Manticore, and develops various supersoldiers who wind up escaping. She’s actually quite all right with that: it’s better that they’re out in the world rather than under anyone’s specific control. Lydecker doesn't know that, though, and even if he did, he wouldn't agree.
After that set-up, I'm not really sure what happens. Conflict ensues mostly.
Maybe Max and Logan manage to track down Willow (Lydecker's mysterious "she") and they kidnap her. Now they're not sure what to do with her. They don't know enough to even ask the right questions at this point. Sebastien contacts them or maybe they contact Sebastien, and he and Willow get together again and Willow finally has a chance to grieve. The whole story comes out and Max isn't sure at all what to make of it. After all, suddenly the situation isn't quite so black and white, good guys versus bad guys, as it previously was.
Who knows what happens next?

but here is one for you... have you seen Star Trek IX?
my thoughts up on seing Sulu's sword was... The immortals would love that, especially the old man... and then I stopped and pondered...
just who is paranoid enough to who carry a fold away katana with them on an emergency relief mission, while inside a secure spaceship and then take it to space dive.... only an immortal of course!
and one trained by a very paranoid Teacher

Email7 Books We Lost to History That Would Have Changed the World

Why You'll Never Read It:
All we have about the saga are bits and pieces of information, and we're lucky to have that. The only reason we know the books exist at all is that other books from the time reference them (including some Cliffs Notes-style summaries) but that's it. If some guy has copies in his basement, he isn't talking about it.
Maybe it's for the best. Iliad and Odyssey are pretty badass; we could have been stuck with the Hellenistic equivalent of Star Wars: Episode I.

And Methos remains furious at the burning of the library of Alexandria. He wasn't able to save nearly enough of the books. He's certainly not going to let anyone else near them now, after what they did!

and being pragmatic about it... why not use his resources to aquire what he doesn't have?
Moving some books to some other minor libraries and then returning in a few decades to move them, somewhere safer
