playing with matches [video] [set during time ripples and before Mind Slayer]

[Klaxons suddenly start blaring through Legion World, due to certain alarms set in the lab complex. Something has exploded. Somethings, plural, judging from what's visible on the screen when Brainy's message broadcasts. Half the lab is trashed and smoking. Fortunately for Brainy's labmates, anything that isn't Brainy's experiments is apparently shielded, but he has no problems with destroying his adult self's work.]

[It's not really that he's doing it on purpose so much as he's reverted to a time where blowing up labs was part of his standard methodology.]

[He's ten, and even the small amount of self-control and restraint he had as a teenager is now gone. What isn't gone is his intellect, which means his capacity for destruction is...extensive.]

Ignore the alarms. My idiotic adult self seems to have developed a more limiting view regarding lab safety. Philistine.

[His voice is colder now, almost robotic.]

There's only a 1.4563 % chance this experiment will destroy Legion World. So all of you little people can simply carry on with your mundane existence.

[The experiment he's working on is glowing ominously and throbbing, making a strange WOMMM noise that keeps increasing in volume and frequency. He doesn't seem to be alarmed by it, though he does pull goggles down over his eyes.]

[ooc: Anyone can respond to this but the action thread to stop it has already been promised to Wash and York.]

S8 Wash because everybody is happy in this conversation, right

Shut it down.

[He is having exactly none of this.]

Fine.

[And he's on his way. He has zero time for this bullshit.]

Yeah, that's not going to work. 10 year old Brainy is apparently very good at not listening when people tell him things.

I'm trying to turn it off remotely, but someone's probably going to need to physically shut it down.

Can you walk me through the physical side? Even a basic idea would be helpful.

[Trying so hard not to be terse at the guy who's actually trying to help.]

I managed to get a look at the specs before he locked me out. It shouldn't be too hard.
