thelegion | GODS AMONG US [modplot/network post] [video]

[It happens everywhere. The entire ship starts to shift and change. It's subtle at first. Simple design changes: a new hallway here, a new hub there, a meeting room where there wasn't one before. But then the people start to shift, too. Familiar staff members disappear, new ones take their place. The technology changes in style, sometimes to something shiny simplistic, like something out 1950s sci fi, sometimes to something darker and more organic.]

[Then the alarms sound, klaxons blaring. They shift occasionally in tone, but all of them are equally urgent. Anyone that looks outside the ship will see that the lunar debris field keeps warping back and forth from a field of debris to the moon being whole.]

[Everyone's omnicoms buzz with an urgent message. Brainy speaks to them all from the lab's wall comm unit.]

I need all displacee Legionnaires to report to my lab immediately!

[He's...building something. Setting something up. It looks important.]

We don't have much time!

[ooc: Anyone in the game can respond to this, however anyone who didn't sign up for "Gods Among Us" (and therefore won't make it to the time bubble in time for the trip) won't remember ever responding, as events will erase the crisis (and therefore this network post) from the timeline.]

[Brainy shifts once more as the timeline shifts, turning into...a human? Or a man that looks human, at any rate. This incarnation of Brainiac 5 had a very strange, Earthbound origin, compared to the others that are Coluan.]

I imagine that what you see is different from what I see. To me, the Legion Outpost has always looked the way it looks, but you must be seeing it shift between different possibilities.

So no, that isn't just something it can do. What you're seeing are the shockwaves from the time stream, showing you various alternate versions of the station.

Fortunately for all of you -- [He pulls goggles over his eyes and starts welding something together] -- one version of me left a contingency in place. Alongside the time alarms he set on the past, he created a device with the ability to resonate across multiple nearby timelines, ensuring that any Brainiac 5 that replaced him would get the message. Every possible version of us that could exist in this timeline has the same schematics, and the same time travel device already mostly-finished.

I only have to make some last minute adjustments to ensure it'll survive the transition -- which I couldn't make until getting the right readings from the adverse event itself.

[He immediately regrets asking - it's like five Bulmas telling him about different parts of their work at the same time!] ...Uh... So what's makin' this happen? Is it somethin' to do with time travel? [The word "time" came up a lot there, so he figures that might have something to do with it.]
