This Is Not A Test [Audio; available only to people in After These Messages]
[Wash sounds oddly calm for having spent any amount of time in TV hell. He'd seen a few of his fellow Legionnaires in various shows alongside him; hopefully they've all survived up to this point. If they're all lucky, they all managed to find a way out of the studios like he did. He's worried about them, enough to reach out through the omnicomms (eerily silent with the main Legion World network still inaccessible) and check in.]
This is Agent Washington, codename Freelancer, of the Legion of Superheroes, sending a message on a secured frequency. [As secure as he can make it, at least; he'd feel a lot better with Cortana or Delta around, but right now he's just happy to be alive and have his equipment back in his hands.] If any other Legionnaires can hear this, please respond.
I've managed to get my equipment back and escape the TV studios with the help of the local resistance. They call themselves the Indies, and evidently they've been against this whole global TV thing since the beginning. They've also seen the piece of Metron's throne - evidently it's still disguised as a book page, and who uses paper anymore? The good news is, they know where it is. The bad news is, it involves going back in the studios for a retrieval mission, and I don't know about any of you, but I do not want another fifteen minutes of fame.
[He says, yelling into the void for all he knows. There has to be someone out there who can answer, right?]
I talked with the leader of the Indies, and evidently their world wasn't always like this. They made contact with something nasty years ago, and it took over the government, wrecked the planet with years of war, and pretty much drove everyone underground. It's also the thing running the whole murder television operation. It calls itself the Producer, and they think taking it out is the first step to returning their society to normal.
To be completely honest, I've had it up to here with homicidal cosmic entities, and the last thing I want to do is die in yet another dimension that isn't mine. As far as I'm concerned, getting the piece of Metron's throne and getting out of here is priority one.
But if we happen to topple a bullshit government and kill another Cthulu knockoff along the way, I wouldn't say no.

And where exactly is this page? Whose possession is it in?
no subject
no subject
[We all know who that probably is.]
What do they seek in exchange for this intel? People don't give things like this away for free, you know.
no subject
[Needling Aku is fun, but not necessarily helpful right now, so he lays off.]
They haven't laid out any terms yet, but I'd guess they want us to take care of the Producer for them, or at least help. Superpowers aren't a thing here; I doubt they'd see us as anything but a way to tip the scales in their favor.
no subject
It sounds to me as if we will be facing the Producer whether it is part of the 'plan' or not. I say we destroy him.

[Your opinion has been noted and filed in its proper place: the recycle bin. Thank you for your feedback.]
[...look, he knows they'll probably have to throw down with the Producer, but that doesn't mean it needs to be a priority, and he's trying to keep it from becoming one.]
