[The image on the screen shows a blue haired girl in a rather interesting outfit taking her pledge to join the Legion.]

To the Legion of Superheroes I make this solemn pledge: To use my powers for good. To fight for justice and protect the innocent. To aid my fellow Legionnaires in times of peril and to keep their secrets safe.

I choose a new name to honor the heroes of the past. I am the Guardian of love and Intelligence, I am Sailor Mercury!

[She couldn't help but add in part of her usual introduction as she swore her oath. Back home she did what she could to protect people and that wouldn't change while she was here. The new powers would take some getting used to though.

After finishing her oath, she turns her attention back to the omnicom with a smile and a small bow.]

Hello. My name is Sailor Mercury, but you may also call me Ami. I've only just arrived here, but I will do what I can to help.

I do have a question, does someone know where I might be able to find a library?

[ Have a tattooed elvish woman peering back at you. She gives a sympathetic smile. ]

The place is maze-like, isn't it? I'm still trying to keep track of where everything is, myself.

[ Then, her brow hikes curiously. ]

You're a sailor?

[mercurypowermakeup]

I'll learn the layout eventually. I'm not an actual sailor, the outfit that I wear is similar to what some of the sailors in my world wore years ago.

[hallaifyouherd]

I see. Was that a deliberate choice, then?

You may be able to locate one in one of the biomes created for those brought here. Some are as detailed as entire cityscapes.

[mercurypowermakeup]

While that would be helpful, I'm afraid I'd only be able to find histories of the areas in the biomes themselves, and I want to find out information about this world.

[Video]

[agnominal]

I see.

What do you wish to know?

[rokketmann]

Long live the Legion!

[ Cos smiles at the oath. It's nice to see an enthusiastic recruit. ]

I like the new name. It's a twist on our usual hero names... I'm Cosmic Boy. Most libraries in the U.P. are digital. You should have access to ours and a few outside ones via your omnicomm.

[mercurypowermakeup]

Sailor Mercury is what I was called back home. I am one of nine Sailor Guardians that are named after the planets and the moon.

Ah. I see. Thank you. I want to try and learn everything that I an about this place while I'm here.

[rokketmann]

Everything?

You might want to pick a particular planet to start with. The 'everything' of the entire United Planets would probably take years.

[deafleppard]

Libraries are so 20th century.

Get with the times, girl.

[mercurypowermakeup]

I am from the 20th century.

[deafleppard]

That was... a joke.

You know?

Come on, work with me here!

-A white haired girl greets the video feed with a starry-eyed look of absolute reverie. And... a trail of blood coming down her nose?-

A... A Guardian of Love! That's amazing! Super amazing! To think such a warrior exists, and a protector of intelligence, too! She must be a great scholar, fighting for both love and understanding, to further knowledge for the good of all, and protect the love of that knowledge! -She's talking a mile a minute. The bleeding is getting worse.- She probably harbors a great heart, and a bookish smile that's strikes deep into the soul of whoever she loves! They spend nights together just reading, shoulder to shoulder, until she eventually falls asleep and the other has to tuck her in, slowly taking off her glasses, but not before placing a chaste but ultra romantic kiss on her temple! And when fighting, her soul remembers that moment, that genuine love that came from a shared appreciation of learning, and it makes her even stronger! For her love, she'll face any foe, any obstacle to the might of her heart and mind! -Jesus christ.-

It's too perfect! Oh my gosh! Ahhhh~! -Calm down, El, for pete's sake.-

Didn't you just get married?

Re: [video]

[marryonette]

Eh? -Pardon her while she wipes her nose.-

Just married... OH! Oh! Um, no, please, don't get the wrong idea!

[resist_the_future]

El.

[Because of course she'd be next to you while this is going on.]

Re: action;

[marryonette]

Yeeeeees~? -Don't you dare judge her, sis.-

[video]

[mercurypowermakeup]

Oh my! I'm afraid it isn't anything like that. I am actually one of 10 Sailor Guardians. We are each named after planets and we fight to protect our Princess and the people around us.

[Her face is bright red. ]

I'm just a normal girl most of the time.

Re: [video]

[marryonette]

-A loud gasp.-

THERE'S TEN OF YOU?!

-Look, now you've gone and made it worse. She's absolutely shaking with excitement.-

[gonebyebye]

There is an actual library library on Themyscira. The Legion is allowed occasional use of it, and considering your gender you'd probably be more welcome to use it than I am.

[mercurypowermakeup]

Themyscira? I'm not familiar with the name.

[She ponders for a few minutes. ]

How would I find it?

[video]

[jonesiseverywhere]

You just arrived on a giant future-y spaceship and you want to find the library?

[He lets out an obnoxious chuckle. What a nerd.]

[video]

[mercurypowermakeup]

[While she is used to being teased for being smart, she didn't think she would get it here.

The smile vanishes, leaving her face blank. ]

Yes.

[the_civilian]

Your best bet is the digital library accessible through your omnicom. They're not very big on dead-tree editions.

[ The young man on the screen gives her a small wave. He's wearing some kind of technological gauntlet on his right forearm. ]

I'm Tadashi, or 'Sunfire'. It's nice to meet you, Ami. Welcome to the Legion.

[mercurypowermakeup]

Thank you. I'm not used to this kind of advanced technology.

[She gives a slight bow. ]

It's nice to meet you, Tadashi.
