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

This isn't your universe. A lot of people here are smart enough to question what they've been shown, and even more are willing to eat up anything as long as it includes more footage of the Legionnaires they love. We're going for chaos, and that's more than enough to cause it.
[It's almost like going with a logical argument will get one in kind, instead of leading straight off with criticism.]
no subject
This isn't your universe either. It's none of ours. Whatever chaos this causes won't last for long. Maybe it'll waylay some members of the press for a little but the really unscrupulous ones---the ones that probably have that Anywhere Machine---aren't gonna buy it and they're just gonna keep digging. Our pasts are going to be broadcast one way or another, regardless of whatever smoke and mirrors trick we try.

If you're going to be so goddamn fatalistic about it, you might as well go to the press and volunteer. It'll buy the rest of us some time.

Sure, why not? I've got nothing to hide. I haven't had a press conference since I was a kid, but I mean how hard can it be?

[Because she's being really flippant about the entirety of her life being an open book to an unforgiving public.]

[ A pause. ] You do have celebrities in your universe, right? [ Her tone of voice makes it difficult to tell if her question is sincere or sardonic. ]
no subject
All we need is for it to last long enough for us to break through the legal red tape to get the other Anywhere Machine shut down, or for a team of us to take it out ourselves.
[ And, of course, he knows which option he's betting on for speed. ]
