[video] Welcome to Legion World

[A young woman with dark skin and closely-cropped black hair appears on the screen. She's wearing an easy smile, but her eyes are alert.]

Hello everyone. I'm Jazmin Cullen, also known as Kid Quantum, Legion Leader. I wanted to officially welcome you to Legion World, and this reality, and assure you that we are doing everything we can to get you back home where you came from. You're all welcome to stay here on Legion World, regardless if you've taken the oath and agreed to help us out while you're here. Those of you who did take the oath or have offered to help out in other ways, don't worry, we'll have you positioned shortly.

We've prepared classes to familiarize yourself with the United Planets and the technology level here so that you can function independently here. If you're joining the Legion, we have additional classes for you to take.

[Her smile widens, briefly.]

Yeah, I know, you're thrilled about having to do more homework to help us out, but hey, we don't just hand those rings out like candy.

[She reaches forward a the image shakes as she takes her omnicom in hand.]

Like I said before, I'm Legion Leader, and here are a few other important faces.

[She turns the omicomm as she speaks, showing the other members of the Legion.]

Matter-Eater Lad is my deputy leader, if you need to get in touch with me, your best bet is generally to find him. It's not that I'm dodging you, but I'm out and about a lot. He's agreed to make sure that at least one of us is available to you.

Ferro has taken on responsibility for introducing you to media, games, sports, and other forms of entertainment in this era. He also has experience in making the switch from a different era, and he's said that he'd be happy to help you with yours.

Gates has offered to help you familiarize yourselves with the culture of the United Planets in the 31st century, as well as the many and varied cultures within it. He promises that they will be informative and engaging.

Bouncing Boy will be teaching starship piloting and is the support staff coordinator. If you want to learn to drive in this era, or if you need to talk to anyone on support staff, talk to him.

If you have any interest in hand-to-hand combat, you're going to want to talk to Karate Kid. I also personally recommend his meditation training if you've found yourself with new powers that you're not quite sure how to control yet.

For those of you who've joined the Legion, Timber Wolf will be your field instructor. He'll be looking out for you in the field, and your primary trainer for working with each other.

Umbra will be instructing you in power control and battlefield tactics. Even if you're not working with the Legion, it would be a good idea to take the former class if you have powers you're unfamiliar with.

Brainiac 5 will be providing tech support, science lessons, and mentoring for those of you who are interested in engineering.

Dreamer is our source of catastrophe warnings outside of the official reporting system. If you hear her yelling, you should probably suit up.

[The camera stops on Kid Quantum again, and she presses a button, causing two images to display on the screen.]

You've already met Dr. Gym'll, our head physician, and Dr. Ry'krr, who is in charge of assisting with the handling of mental health. They'll still be filling those same roles now. Additionally, one of the other sentients who arrived recently, Dr. Arbuckle, will be assisting Dr. Gym'll.

[The images disappear. Kid Quantum smiles again.]

Even though I wish it wasn't under these circumstances, welcome to the Legion World. If you need help with anything please don't hesitate to ask us or the staff.

At least this time I get medical insurance.

[Or whatever passes for it in the future.

Hey, at least this time the medical technology is good to start with!]

I hear ya' there.

Now that I actually need it again, I'm glad we're all squared away. God knows I could never afford it before.

Just not being the one setting up my own IVs is a pretty good change already.

[Having anyone else around who can be trusted with it is a great change.

He sees you not washing your hands, Mikey.]

You've had to set up your own IV? Jeez.

[He's never quite been pushed that far. Either the suit did the healing for him or the medicos handled it during the war. Luckily, the times he's not had any insurance he's never gotten sick or hurt that badly.]

Would you walk into a hospital if you looked like this?
iamresponding: (bucketless - eyebrows)

[personal profile] iamresponding 2016-01-31 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
Actually, yes, but only the one. There's kind of this secret superhero hospital in Chinatown back home. She'll take anyone -- meta, mutant, baseline human, or otherwise. No questions asked.

But that place is kinda special. The head doctor there made it for superheroes and vigilantes after one of 'em saved her life.

[It bugs him that Donnie doesn't have anywhere to go like that.]

Maybe when all this is over you can see if they'll let you bring home some medical equipment with you. They have robotic surgery tables and stuff here, right?

That's an idea.

[He hadn't really thought about the possibility of being able to bring stuff back, maybe because of too much time travel fiction where people are worried about altering the outcome, but if it's the future of not actually his dimension, then doesn't that kind of mitigate the ethical "you can't just alter history" concerns right there?

And it's not like they'd do anything crazy with it.]


I mean, assuming the power sources are self-contained or otherwise adaptable...
iamresponding: (bucketless - smirk)

[personal profile] iamresponding 2016-02-03 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
You kidding me? With a setup like this, they probably have energy sources that could run hundreds or thousands of years. Some of the tech here is crazy advanced, from what I've seen.

[A pause.]

Not all of it, mind you -- their cloning tech is a little behind; back home they did me up a new leg lickety split when I lost one in an orbital bombardment, but here they weren't able to clone me a new arm that could channel the Nova Force without burning up. That's why I've got the robotic prosthetic.

[He says it all very casually, like it's perfectly normal to lose limbs all willy-nully and need them replaced multiple times.]

Other'n that though, everything here's leagues ahead of what they had up in space back home.

I just don't get how you can have a power source last that long without something...

[Sigh.]

...I'm gonna be saying that a lot, aren't I.

The answer is "science."

Always.

'Cept for when it's magic. Which is even worse.

[personal profile] nerdninja 2016-02-09 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
The only good thing about magic is that I have an excuse for not getting it.

Which is still like a bad thing that just has a slight silver lining.
