WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD - Mod Plot [Network Post | 1]

[They get a transmission from the outpost orbiting the planet where new displacees appear, the battered remains of the planet Phelolu. It's a priority distress call, so the message is received by every Legionnaire and all major posts on Legion World.]

[The commanding officer of the response team is a Carggite, Dr. Trez. All three of her grey-haired selves look shaken. Behind her, the main viewscreen of the outpost is cracked and consoles are sparking. The outpost has clearly come under heavy attack.]

Mayday mayday, this is Legion Outpost Phelolu, we are under attack by a 10X10 threat! I repeat, it is a 10X10 threat. Do not send a response team. I repeat: do not send a response team! We'll leave monitoring equipment on for surveillance but all personnel is evacuating the outpost.

Over!

[And that is the only message they get. She quickly reforms into one self, and leaves the console, helping a crew member that's fallen. The entire command deck shakes once. Then again. Fortunately, all members of the team escape the command deck and the hatch to the threshold room closes.]

[By the time the hull rips open, it's plenty of time for them to have escaped through a threshold gate. It's hard to see what causes the breach. There is only a flash of silver and all of a sudden a chunk of it is gone. More of it gets ripped away, and there's a brief flash of something blue and sparkling. With another flash of silver, the whole deck explodes and the camera view is lost. The monitoring system shifts to an external camera as a default so that they can see the field of wreckage outside. There is only a small, barely functioning hunk of the outpost left. The rest is a debris field that's obscuring the view of the planet. Ice dust from the vaporization systems creates a huge cloud that the barely functioning lights reflect off in the void.]

[That's when they see it looming out through the debris field. It's an incomprehensible being, a force of nature, and each sentient's mind must try to make what sense of it that it can by assigning it some kind of image. To many humanoids, what they see is the face of an impossibly huge man.]







[Despite the fact that it should be impossible for any sound to vibrate through the void, they can hear him speak, his voice thundering impossibly loud. Everyone who hears it hears it in their native language, two simple words that spell out the doom of civilizations:]

"GALACTUS HUNGERS!"

[Silver and sparkling blue streak by again and they see now what the cause of the streaks are. One is a man that looks like he's made of liquid silver, riding a silver surfboard. The other is a ethereal and graceful-looking alien with a staff, who looks like she's made out of stardust. As they attack the last of the outpost with a wave of cosmic power, the feed cuts out.]

[Grif sighs. Heavily.]

This is stupid. I want you to remember that I told you it was stupid.

Biodome...

Yeah, that assumes anyone actually tells me anything, so...

[ Without answering, Videl heads for Gohan's bio habitat place and lets herself in without asking permission. The breeze and familiar mountainous terrain send a stab of homesickness through her, but it's brief. She's comfortable with life in the Legion, maybe even happy--- or was, rather, until today. ]

[ With the help of the flight ring, she alights on the breeze. ]
Gohan! [ She calls searchingly. ]

[Brainy looks horrified as he reports in new information.]

To reach Braal's system, Galactus had to pass by the sun near Phelolu, the world where we rescued you all. Long-range sensors indicate that it's gone. He devoured Phelolu's sun. He's still on direct intercept course with the planet Braal.

Fortunately, we should still be able to rescue displacees on the planet -- instead of contending with the heat, they'll be facing temperatures below freezing. It won't change their survival prospects much, especially given how quickly we can threshold down.

Still, according to the newslinks, the entire UP is now in a panic.

The fear's going to make everyone stupid. Who wants to bet the UP Council decides to try throwing the military at him, even though they wouldn't stand a chance?
iamresponding: (bucketless - awkward)

[personal profile] iamresponding 2016-05-17 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Uh. Yeah. I forgot to mention he can do that, too.
kingtyrantranger: (Surprised)

[personal profile] kingtyrantranger 2016-05-17 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Mr. Rider, please take this with all due respect, but...

How do you forget to mention something like that?!
iamresponding: (bucketless - shrewd)

Hey, he can destroy things in a lot of creative ways. There's a lot to remember.

[ sun eater hahahaha augh. ]

Well, damn.

That...certainly is something.

[There wasn't any fear in Alexander's voice. Not in a confident, "Oh, I can take that guy" kind of way, but in a "I've already died a million times, so whatever man," kind of way. Even so, he was certainly awestruck by Galactus.]

[To him, the planet-eater appeared like an enormous version of Gwyn, Lord of Cinder. Which was unpleasant in its own right. But judging from the information being passed around on the comms, his centuries-past fight with the once Lord of Sunlight wouldn't even compare in scale.]

Re: Brainstorming Time (Feel free to threadhop, it's time for them all to get creative!)

This being and its heralds are drawn towards worlds with large concentrations of life-force from intelligent creatures, yes?

Because if so, I carry within me the equivalent of millions of souls. I doubt I could satiate the beast with my sacrifice, so I won't be foolish enough to try that save as a last resort, but I could potentially distract one of them temporarily, should it be required.

We've gotta worry about his ship too?!

Ugh. Why.

[personal profile] deafleppard 2016-05-19 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
You think!? I'd be pretty upset too if that happened to me.

[personal profile] deafleppard 2016-05-19 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds like it's worth a shot, and we don't really have the luxury to be too picky with our plans, here.

[ The mountainous terrain was specifically modeled to look like the area outside his home. It was where he went often to clear his head, so it stood to reason that it'd be a good familiar place to have on hand in case it was needed. Mostly, he was thinking it'd be a better place to meditate and train at than the gym, since his training was usually... well... it wasn't tailored to crowded places.

He never really thought he'd be using this place to try and sort his thoughts after a cosmic being threatening to eat planets came into existence. ]


I'm here... [ He called out, although there wasn't a lot of energy in his voice. He was sitting down on the ground in a lotus position, attempting to meditating. But if his grit teeth and tense muscles were anything to go by, it wasn't working. ] Just... trying to calm down. I didn't exactly... react well to Galactus...

A dinosaur would be cool too. But we would need a really big one to deal with that guy. And an appropriately-sized space suit.

[personal profile] leverageintceo 2016-05-20 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
So basically we have equal chances of it being both inorganic and organic or just one or the other.

I'll keep thinking.

[Parker provides Ferro with a location for them to meet at, then disappears for the conversation. She pops up again a few minutes later.]

I've got good news and bad news.

Good news is, metal skin totally counts.

[The camera spins around to point at Ferro, who is...significantly less monochromatic than usual. Instead of being made entirely of iron, Ferro has pinkish-beige skin and a blue and white uniform. He's staring at his hands with an expression of surprise visible through the metal mask he's still wearing.]

[Parker spins the camera back around.]


Bad news is that my powers don't work through transuits and I can't breathe the vacuum of space. So if we can get the Silver Surfer somewhere I can breathe, I might be able to depower him long enough for someone better at talking than me to convince him to do what we want.

[personal profile] leverageintceo 2016-05-20 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that makes things more difficult.
iamresponding: (bucketless - eyebrows)

[personal profile] iamresponding 2016-05-21 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
It's worth a shot. Stardust especially might gun for you to try to bring you to him. That's something you could use.
iamresponding: (bucketless - distant)

[personal profile] iamresponding 2016-05-22 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Provided I'm alive for you to tell me "I told you so," if I get nailed to the wall for this, you can "I told you so" at me all you want.

I still gotta try, though.
