[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.]

[Even with his subjective time sped up from what he was used to, the seconds of silence felt like hours. He'd been just about ready to stick his head through the wall, prepared for the worst, when Rokk's voices rang out from the omnicom.

Letting out a breath he didn't realize he'd been holding, he could almost feel his stomach unknot. At least something was going right.]

Understood. The doors seem to be holding, for now at least. What's your position? Are you able to get close to any walls or the ceiling?

I can get to three walls, including the exterior and corridor walls.

[ The lights in the room flicker and die with a pop. The blue emergency come on almost immediately, and it makes the whole room look like it's underwater.

Cos looks up at them. ]

I think the ceiling's out. The fourth wall's where the panel blew up. What's your plan?

[ He flinched slightly at the sound of the lights popping. Was that the water shorting out everything in the room? Or the start of a new problem? ]

If I can get around to the other side of one of those walls I should be able to pull you through. Which one are you closest to?

[ As far as Rokk can tell, it's continued progress of the water shorting out everything, but he's not in possession of Superboy's x-ray specs.

Cos spins his camera around to show that he's actually in the corner, about ten meters to the left of the door. He's standing on a floating chunk of metal grating that he had ripped free of one of the air ducts. ]

I'm by the corridor and the next room on the left - on your left as you're facing the door. The next room is... oh, no. I think it's one of the changing rooms.

[He watches the feed of Rokk's layout in the room and tries to map out in his head where the best places to grab him from would be.

Following his instructions, he'd been just about ready to run straight into the room on his left but stopped short at that 'oh no'.]

Wait...whats wrong with the changing rooms?
