[Video | Filtered to Legionnaires Only] Technically, Parody Is Fair Use

[unrecovered]

[Wash looks a bit better than he did a week ago; turns out a successful mission and a plan for the future really do help.]

We've all seen the Legionnaire Legacies, and I'm pretty sure we're all tired of them. Well, Mirage is a genius, and she had an idea: we'll make fake ones. Use our Anywhere Machine to pull real footage, create fake footage to supplement it, write our own narratives, and broadcast them. It'll discredit the press, and it might keep them off our backs, because there's no reason to broadcast someone's past if it's already been done by someone else.

So. Who's in?

That brings us right back to the top, then.

[ She heaves a sigh. ]

This is a mess.

[prettycoolguy]

Just because we don't know where it is now doesn't mean we can't find out.

Then we act.

[saltsweet]

Which is great in its own right, don't get me wrong. But I don't see fake Legacies as an important part of tracking down and decommissioning that Anywhere Machine. I get the idea of using them as a distraction, but I'm sure there's better distractions we could make that don't rely on trying to mislead the general populace of the entire universe.

[prettycoolguy]

Not the entire universe.

Just the populace that believes trashy news.

[saltsweet]

But the truth will still get out eventually. Even if we take out the other Anywhere Machine, these fake Legacies can still blow up in our face someday and damage the Legion's reputation.

[prettycoolguy]

Not critically.

[ He doesn't think it would do enough to seriously discredit the team in any arena that matters. ]

[saltsweet]

I guess that's a matter of perspective. How do you define 'critically?'

[prettycoolguy]

To the point we can't overcome.

[saltsweet]

I'm not sure you could be more vague...

[prettycoolguy]

You asked.

[ He's not bothered by her dissatisfaction with his answer, it's good enough for him. ]
