thelegion | Post-Mission Briefing [video]

[When Kid Q goes on the comms for the post-mission debrief, she is smiling. Smiling smiling smiling.]

I'm happy to report that both of the recent missions were a complete success. After we weakened Tsarista by breaking out of all her story scenarios, we managed to re-capture her in an omnicom. Some of our allies from Sorcerer's World have given us some assistance in providing better magical protections around her prison.

[Her smile widens slightly and goes mischievous.]

If anyone wants to see the pictures we got of Brainy turned into an adorable forest creature, Timber Wolf is making the rounds.

As for the mission against the Herald and the Council, War and the Council-members are currently in Science Police custody. After she's fast-tracked for trial, we've made arrangements for her detainment to be on Legion World, like the Joker, to prevent any possible corruption at Takron-Galtos from allowing her to escape. The recording equipment Brainy sent you into the mission with successfully captured video of War despite the surveillance-disrupting nature of her powers. We've provided all the evidence to the Science Police, and they've obtained warrants to pry into the Council-members' affairs. They're currently making dozens of arrests all over the UP, of various corrupt government officials, dirty cops, and other individuals responsible for colluding with Chronoblivion.

[She's beaming.]

Not only did you stop the Council-members themselves, you've made it so the Science Police have been able to uncover an entire web of individuals that they've been working with, significantly weakening Chronoblivion's ability to interfere in the UP government and Legion affairs.

We still have to worry about the Herald spying on Legion World, but we have some leads on ways to stop him and one of our next missions should give us the tools to do it.

Things are going to be different from now on. Now that we've gone on the offensive, we're not going to stop until we take Chronoblivion down.

In other news, the two hostages you rescued? They were two of our missing Legionnaires, Rokk Krinn, aka Cosmic Boy, and Lyle Norg, aka Invisible Kid. Brainy's scanned them thoroughly to verify their identities and they're the real deal. They've verified that the missing Legionnaires are alive, currently trapped in a pocket dimension with strange preservative properties that've made it so they haven't aged or needed things like food and water. This crystal dimension actually allowed them to view our universe -- so they've apparently been keeping an eye on the team, watching our fights. (They promised that they've only watched things we've done in public.)

Recently, they were able to work together to free Rokk and Lyle, and they've spent six months relative time wandering through the multiverse, through dimensions where time ran differently, trying to get back home. When they arrived back in this universe, they were unfortunately picked up by corrupt Science Police officers, and taken to the Council-members. Fortunately, they were able to resist telepathic interrogation.

If the Council-members had successfully made the hand-off, they probably would've been tortured and killed, and the information they knew about the missing Legionnaires could've potentially been used by Chronoblivion's forced to find and kill our missing friends.

Not only did you make it so two of our own came home safely, you may have saved the entire team that we lost. And now that they're here, Brainy has enough information to start working on bringing our missing friends home. It's going to take time -- weeks, months, maybe even a year -- but now we know for sure they're alive, rather than taking Joker's word for it, and we can start working on it. If we can get them home in time, we might be able to enlist their help before our final fight against Chronoblivion.

You all did something incredible today, and undertook actions that restored balance back to the UP government, protected the team from future sabotage and interference, saved two Legionnaires just trying to get home, and protected close to 20 missing team members.

I'm proud of you, Legionnaires.

Whoever gets him to cave and do it with us wins.

I'm in.

Oh, the game is on now.

He's got a pretty good sense of humor, I think we might be able to work him around.

[Or he'll dig in his heels and refuse even more loudly, but Tadashi's pretty sure he'll have as much fun with it as they will teasing him.]

If not, we'll tell him there's money involved.

Or food.

Whichever one works.

Cave and do it with us or just cave. Into a ball. Of disgust.

I feel like they should have equal points.

... Caving gets you points. Him doing it with us gets you double points.

Think of it like a score multiplier.

I like how you think, kid. Deal.

And now we're all on the same page.

Nobody wins. You both lose. It's automatic.

One of these days I'm gonna get you to do it.

Or die of cringing. Either or.

Sounds like somebody's a sore loser.

How do I lose? I'm not even competing!

I mean, you could be. Think about it.

Who wins if you just decide to do the thing without anyone telling you?

Okay.

[ He'll admit that's pretty good. ]

But what do I get? Is there cash on this?

... You know, I didn't think about that.

But it's probably mostly bragging rights.

[ Grif makes a pfsshhh noise. ]

Pass.

Oh come on, I'm fourteen. What money do I even have?

You know they pay us, right?

That's like the only part I didn't sleep through.

[ Okay this is a lie, otherwise they wouldn't have let him on the team, but. ]

... They do?

[ He's fourteen, so he didn't pay attention to any of it. But he's sure paying attention now. ]

H-Hang on a sec, I'm getting paid?!

Grif, if you win, you get to pick the pizza toppings for the next movie night.

[It's less of a big deal now that everyone has made movie night into a communal potluck, but nonetheless.]

[Plus, Wash can make the argument that, by convincing Grif to do it, he's the real winner.]

[ Oh shit. Temptation. ]

...I'm gonna have to think about this.

All of the pizza. Not just half.

Sign me up.

[Giving shit to a member of the opposite team? Feels like home.]

I'm glad we can all come together for this very noble cause.

[ Namely, giving Grif shit. ]
