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.]

I have a question.

Do we know if this is its full power?
iamresponding: (bucketless - unsure)

[personal profile] iamresponding 2016-05-13 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
His heralds are tied to him. They draw their power from him. The way they chewed through that outpost like it was nothing suggests they're at full power at least. And it's unlikely he'd give them that much power if he wasn't at full power. He'd keep more of the power cosmic for himself if it'd been diminished somehow.
fourstars: (sam fisher he is not)

[personal profile] fourstars 2016-05-14 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
... I don't know how powerful his heralds are, but I'm guessing we probably stand a better chance against them than we do Galactus.

One more question though. If he's at full power... then how? What's the difference between his arrival and ours?

Hell if I know.

Brainy?

Still collating!

Why is that so hard to understand?

I know I'm a little out of my league here, and I know you're pretty busy as it is, but if we can figure out how he's at full power, maybe that can help us figure out how we can get some of our powers back.

I know I'd feel a lot more confident in my ability to help if I had my full range of powers.

You do have a point. At some point during this endeavor we will probably be afforded the opportunity to get some readings.

Survival and the protection of civilized worlds is our first priority but if we can safely obtain some scans, analysis might prove fruitful.

[personal profile] fourstars 2016-05-15 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
I'd like to help with that, after this is all over. I mean, first we need to figure out how in the world we're actually going to deal with this, but... after that, yeah.

How the heck is he at full power and not us? [ Well, the "us" who had powers in their home universes. Videl is currently more powerful here than she ever was back home. ]
iamresponding: (bucketless - awkward)

Haven't the faintest, although the power cosmic is...

It allows for a level of reality manipulation. It's possible the nature of his power made it harder to mess with by whatever does this too us.

If Galactus has enough power to give his heralds powers and whatever brought us has the same amount of power, maybe it meant they were on equal ground.

I think there's something else we probably need to consider.

We woke up in Phelolu, which is full of background radiation that... probably had some kind of effect on our bodies. [ He doesn't like this idea, but it's the only thing that currently makes sense. ] He didn't.
iamresponding: (bucketless - eyebrows)

[personal profile] iamresponding 2016-05-16 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
You're right, that might be part of it.

It also might be because the power cosmic is so reality-altering in a way all of our original powers weren't.

Or a combo of both.
