Talk:Spear of Longinus

Added pretty pictures nyoro~n. Looks much better. I'll work on the text eventually.--Szmitten 15:04, 18 August 2007 (EDT)

Will this do?--Szmitten 17:11, 18 August 2007 (EDT)

We have to make sure we don't verge on "duel of the seeds" speculation; i.e., Adam's Lance stopped Adam all on its own as a safety protocol? --V 21:26, 18 August 2007 (EDT)

I think that makes the most sense, that Adam was put to sleep as an automatic function of the spear. One thing has been bugging me, though. What was that bit in Episode 21 about the Spear being taken from the Dead Sea all about? Did they take the huge thing all the way across the world and then back, or did they actually find Lilith's missing spear(Supposed to be destroyed in CI) and use it(And have it destroyed in the Second Impact?). Any evidence of there being two spears, or is it just Adam's like CI says? --UrsusArctos 21:43, 18 August 2007 (EDT)

I am unsure. "the Spear was found with Adam" -- Fact (we have the photo of them finding the impaled Adam). "there's a line of dialogue in the Director's Cut of Episode 21 where a scientist says that the Spear will be coming "from the Dead Sea" to Antarctica" -- Also "Fact". I'm unsure of what they were trying to do. The best I can speculate is that Seele must have had a preliminary, pre-Gehirn research facility in that region. --V 21:52, 18 August 2007 (EDT)

That's what most people figure. Also, Chronicle says (at least, I'm almost positive it does; I'll do a translation once I get my OCR software running) that the Spear is what causes Adam to retrovert. Seele apparently wanted that to happen, so, feasibly, they were "preparing" the Spear to do that over at the Dead Sea. The Spear was then sent back for the CE as a safety precaution in case things went wrong, but the team didn't know Seele had done something to it.

Also, the Spear had nothing to do with DNA ending up in Adam. That was the donor's job.--Reichu 22:05, 18 August 2007 (EDT)

Are these issues of Chronicle available on the web? --UrsusArctos 22:39, 18 August 2007 (EDT)

Actual scans, no. I'm the only person I know who actually keeps up with them. You can buy them from Akadot Retail for a pretty penny, though. (Over $10 US per issue... with a total of 30 issues. Two issues away from completion, woo hoo!!!) --Reichu 22:56, 18 August 2007 (EDT)

Re: "Artifact"

I don't use "artifact" as in "Indiana Jones artifact". I use "artifact" as "smart-sounding word for "thingy"". --V 22:28, 18 August 2007 (EDT)

I'm not sure how appropriate it is, in lieu of the CI stuff. Then, S.o.L. will probably end up in a category "Weapons" for lack of a better one. -_-;; So whatever. --Reichu 22:34, 18 August 2007 (EDT)

"Technically alive"; you state this as if it's a fact; do they say that somewhere? If not I prefer "could be considered alive"--V 09:38, 20 August 2007 (EDT)

Read the CI. It's right on the server. I also want to know why you changed my other wording back to whatever it was before; I altered it for a reason.

Also, N2 mine does not get its own article. There are N2 mines, bombs, depth charges, etc. It's "N2 weapons". --Reichu 09:42, 20 August 2007 (EDT)

Oh okay if its in the CI. I just shifted around the wording a little on the other stuff. And I wanted to move the N2 Mine stuff to "N2 Bombs" because that's much more common. --V 09:46, 20 August 2007 (EDT)
