System Crash

[After Brainy and Babbage disappear, cameras start broadcasting from where they were taken to. The entire encounter is shown to the team and the rest of the UP. When Earth is taken through the portal, Legion World lurches, and at the end of it all, when the traps are tripped, it lurches again. Lights all over the ship go out, fires starts, systems fail. Only lockdown procedures that Brainy himself put in place, to protect Legion World’s most vital systems if he were ever compromised by telepathy or other influences, keep the viruses from self-destructing the ship or turning off life support -- but they’re certainly trying to.]

[The network goes back up again fairly quickly, however, but it’s using a much older, inferior form of networking. Something a little more distance-based and analog, a little less hackable.]

[They’ll be able to communicate again, but there’s a lot of interference. Sometimes the video goes out during video calls and sometimes audio cracks up. Text seems to be the only form of communication that’s guaranteed to go through every time.]

[ooc: People can react and start planning things on this post. This is also where information about the Spectre's attack will get dropped.]

[Cortana finds technozombie plagues much less horrifying than organic ones. Eww, the Flood.]

I've been going over data from that scan Dox did anytime I get a spare few nanoseconds.

[She approves of Brainy's priorities.]

Right now? Solid maybe. I want more eyes on it once we've had a chance to regroup.

[The zombie apocalypse in any form is not something Wash thought he would witness in his lifetime. To see it start with a trusted friend is...rough, to say the least. But for now...]

Those are better odds than I expected.

It looks like it's retaining a...cached copy, for lack of a better term, of the original organism, potentially for self-repair purposes. It might be possible to load from backup, so to speak.

[Good news!]

Of course, that means we're probably up against regenerating technozombies.

[Everything is terrible forever.]
unrecovered: (Oh well damn)

Great.

[Shitty situations getting worse? Yeah, that's pretty well in line with his experiences.]

Would an EMP do anything?

Maybe, but I'd go in assuming they're hardened.

[A human-detectable pause as Cortana runs numbers.]

That does give me an idea, though. Bet you she's enough of a control freak that she's directly linked into that nanovirus. Imagine the feedback headache we could give her.
unrecovered: (Well...)

We're up against Brainiacs, so that's a good assumption.

[He's not sure if that was a thinking-pause or a for-his-benefit pause, but he'll take it.]

She wants to remake the goddamn multiverse in her image. Of course she's that much of a control freak. How do we go about using that against her?

Still working on the technical details, but we'd only get one shot before she adapted the network to fix the vulnerability, so I'd say use it as a distraction to give someone or someones an opening at a critical moment.

I like the new twist. Keeping it fresh.

[ Guess who can keep a conversational tone while booking it across Legion World. ]
