Lights Out [modplot] [part 3]
[Kid Q's expression is grim as she faces the team from Legion World's Monitor Room -- for the very last time.]
[The team's voted and even though the solution isn't exactly ideal, there is no better option. They've all but lost Legion World, there's no way to stop the Catastrophists and Apokolips in a way that will allow them to be arrested instead of killed.]
[Technically, she has the right to overrule the decision, but she knows she shouldn't, and she knows the temptation to lies more to do with not wanting to relinquish their home more than anything else.]
[But homes can be rebuilt and every time in the past that the Legion's been lost or displaced, they've endured. Adapted. Survived. And in the end, they'd rallied and refused to let the conditions they'd found themselves in define them.]
This is Kid Quantum. Legion World has been compromised. This is officially a code white situation.
I'm now authorizing a full-scale evacuation of Legion World, and intiating self-destruct of Legion World. Legion Leader authorization Alpha Alpha Sigma Six Six Nine Two Twerflaz Two.
[The voice recognition kicks in. The panel she's at initiates a scan of her palm (and her DNA) and a retinal scan.]
["INPUT ACCEPTED," says the computer.]
Initiate silent countdown. [All the bad guys are frozen but there's no reason to announce the self-destruct where their enemies will see once time stops freezing.]
Set self-destruct for 40 minutes on my mark. Mark.
["SELF-DESTRUCT TIMER INITIATED," says the computer. "SILENT COUNTDOWN INITIATED. NO FURTHER WARNINGS WILL BE GIVEN."]
[The klaxons keep blaring and the lights keep flashing. A computer voice repeats everywhere:
"FULL EVACUATION INITIATED. IF POSSIBLE, RETURN TO YOUR STATION FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS. FULL EVACUATION INITIATED..."]
All Legionnaires and staffers are to take advantage of the timefreeze to initiate full evacuation protocols. All staffers are to report to their home department to receive instructions. All Legionnaires will be receiving personalized instructions. We'll need some of you to help with evaccing staff and equipment alongside packing your belongings - especially the speedsters.
[Kid Q taps at a console to send preprogrammed evac instructions and some specific instructions to staff and team alike.]
Due to the Legion Outpost being so small, we'll only be taking a skeleton crew of staffers, and conditions on board are likely to be cramped and far more harrowing due to the dangers ahead. I would like any staffers that feel they're willing to face the risks to activate their beacons on the emergency channel so we know which personnel to collect for -
[The emergency network, used during situations where personnel need to be evacuated, rescued, or quickly moved due to emergencies lights up as every staffer on board hits their beacons and indicates they want to come along.]
[Every single one. Even the injured in Medbay.]
[Kid Q is visibly moved. Even now, as Legion World falls apart around their ears, even after some of them dying due to the boarding parties and monster tentacles, they're refusing to give up on the team.]
Unfortunately, we won't have room for all of you, but I appreciate the sentiment. I'll be compiling a list of the staffers we'll be bringing along.
[She says the following with great solemnity.]
Once this conflict is over, I hope to see you all on the other side. If we're very lucky, someday we might have a chance to rebuild what we're sacrificing today - we might have a chance to rebuild what all of you helped us build in the first place.
It was an honor serving with you all.
Long live the Legion.
[They have enough time to do this, but only just. Each of them will have to pack their things (a pack's worth of them, if that. Some of them might have to help move the prisoners, or equipment. Then they'll either threshold out or fly away on the cruisers or the Bouncing Boy. At the very end, Kid Q will have Legion World's thrusters aim it towards Apokolips (so that it'll collide right as it explodes) and then threshold off after everyone else has evacuated.]

I can give you the location of Reaper's gun. If you want it, it's yours, but it'll be tough to get.

Where is it?

[When your armor is air- and watertight, you can afford to be an asshole about hiding places.]

Her mind was already calling up her map of Legion World, calculating the quickest route from her current location to that part of the Habitat Deck.]
How deep is the lake? [She was already on the move.]

[And then, because this is something of a ridiculous errand in a crisis situation and he can't not:]
Check in with me if you hit any snags. Be safe.

I do not expect any as long as the area has not been breached by the enemy. Merci.
