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.]

[In hindsight, of course, everything looks different. And, if given the chance, he'd be kicking himself over the fact that he missed it, just like he'd missed everything as it happened with the Outsiders.]
[Luckily, he has plenty to keep his mind occupied at the moment.]
I never really knew Brainiac 8. When she was with the Outsiders, she was going by the name Indigo. We found out later that the personality was a subroutine, but also sort of a personality of her own. It was a little confusing at the time. That could have been the head injuries, though.
Brainiac 8 went to the past to kill a good friend of mine, Donna Troy, so that she would never keep Coulans from dominating organics. Brainiac 6 created the Indigo subprogram to...to endear her to the heroes of the time, make it possible for her to integrate with us and then take us out from the inside. She was...Indigo was. She was a good kid. Innocent and naive in a way that none of us were by then, maybe never had been. She looked to us to teach her how to be human and that's probably the only reason we're all still alive. She was able to break through Brainiac 8's personality when she was injured and begged another member of the Outsiders, a guy called Shift, to...to kill her. Because it was the only way to stop Brainiac 8.
