[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?

I... I'll do it. [She looks distinctly uncomfortable with the idea that someone is going to be looking at her past anyway.]

Uuuuuugh, where the heck is it...

[ There's a discontent groan before Danny starts lazily scrambling to grab the omnicom. Finally grabbing it, the kid buried in the blankets, pillow over his eyes, before continuing. ]

Can we do this, like... when my head isn't killing me, maybe...? I mean, I'm down, just... after the headache...

Trashy TV isn't the big issue, here. The big issue is that there's another one of those things in the wild. What happens to operational security when someone with higher aspirations than sleazy journalism gets their hands on a machine that can see through any wall, to any point in time?

[In other words, it's time for a heist.]

[ Oh lord, Legionnaire Legacies again? Videl can't help a tired sigh. ]

Look, I know they're a pain in the ass, but this is just ridiculous. That's going to end up being a huge waste of time that we could be using doing our jobs.

And even when you do get fake Legionnaire Legacies out there, the press is just going to keep digging around and show your real histories anyway. They're not going to stop just because you give them the "authorized full-access look at Legionnaire X." [ The finger quotes are audible. ]

You might want to rethink discrediting the entire press, as they and the people have generally been on the side of the Legion when we start running alternate missions.

[ Alternate missions such as stealing back stolen property. ]

But, if you want to run a Legion-approved vid in the same time slot, improve it with some interviews of other Legionnaires, donate the proceeds to a few different charities, I'm sure you'll find us willing to help. There's nothing wrong with healthy competition.

[ Almost as an afterthought, he turns the musing advice into a more direct hint. ]

There's a good charity that works with resettling people displaced from their homeworlds, like Xanthu. It's called Panspermia.

This sounds like a lot of trouble. I'm in.

But how do we plan to fake the footage? I'd rather not see the props and sets some of the here people come up with...

[thedreamisdead]

All discussion as to methods aside, I don't have a problem with this. As long as your use of the Anywhere Machine doesn't interfere with my investigations.

Are they really that bad? All that I've seen so far is people dressing as me.

And... I guess I didn't really want people to see me as I was on that mission to rescue the hostages, but I can't deny that it happened, regardless of other people witnessing it...

I'm in.
