IN BRIGHTEST DAY - Mod Plot [Network Post | 1]
Listen up, Legion. Unfortunately, our little vacation from catastrophe is apparently over. (Surprise surprise.)
The Legion outpost around Phelolu just registered a new incursion through the rift, made up of several groups of people, all of them apparently armed with different colored power rings, not unlike the one that used to be wielded by your fellow Legionnaire, Hal Jordan, and not unlike the ones wielded by the various Lanterns of ancient galactic history.
The outpost was attacked by yellow and red ringwielders, but was successfully defended by ringwielders with pink, purple, blue, and green rings.
The outpost staff sent us the footage they captured.
[Footage briefly plays, showing the view outside the outpost of several groups of Lanterns fighting each other, glowing in various colors. The ones bearing yellow and red rings look terrible and sinister. Some of them look like they're mostly made up of claws and fangs, and the reds spew flaming blood at their enemies, burning some of them alive.]
[The violets are beautiful as they fly around with their crystalline powers -- and er, slightly scantily clad. The indigo tribesman are few but an impressive force on the battlefield, redirecting ring energy with their staffs. The greens and blues seem to work together very well -- green constructs bolstered by blue energy -- as if the blues were made to support the greens. After a successful defense is mounted for the Legion outpost and the red and yellow lanterns are dealt considerable damage, with many of them successfully captured, first the yellows retreat with stargates and then the reds.]
After the yellow and red Lanterns retreated to locations unknown, the contingents of pink, purple, blue, and green Lanterns contacted the outpost and were diverted to Legion World, where their situation was explained to them. Between Brainy's scans and their own words, we've determined that they're from the 21st century, in a slightly alternate universe, rather than our universe's own past. (And also an alternate to your universe, Jordan).
There are rumors that the Lanterns all retreated to the edge of the universe back in ancient times, and we believe that the reds and yellows may have left to seek out any of their counterparts that exist in this universe in the 31st century. If they find them -- and the location of the power batteries that would let them link up and recharge their rings -- we could be looking at a renewal of the ancient war they all used to fight.
The other contingents of Lanterns are allied together and asking for the Legion's help in stopping the reds and yellows. The greens think they already have a lead on where the ancient Green Lanterns settled in our universe. They think it might be on the remains of a once living planet called Mogo, who was a Green Lantern, and think they know where to find him. The pinks can apparently detect something similar and think they can find the power source that the pinks of this universe used to use in ancient times.
I'm going to be leading a team to go with them, as an escort and to help mount an offense against the reds and yellows before they return to wreak havoc in civilized space. The Lanterns we'll be working with aren't familiar with this century or any of its politics, and they're also even unfamiliar with some of its species since they didn't exist until certain worlds were colonized.
The team I bring has to be prepared to wield any rings we might be able to get our hands on. After seeing the power profiles they were able to give us, we're going to need all the firepower we can get. Our own powers might not cut it.
Questions, concerns, protests, or letters of resignation because an ancient space war is restarting and who needs that nass -- go.

[ Hal's not a huge stickler for precision, but the other lanterns are going to be referring to themselves as such, so might as well make sure everyone's clear on the terminology.
He's leaning in toward the camera as he talks, though. This is big. Not just because he knows what they're dealing with this time, but because he's wanted to find the remnants of the Corps in this era, and - ]
You said once living? Do we know Mogo's dead, or is that just speculation?
[ Mogo was a true bro. Mogo needs to be okay. :( ]

Where are the Athramites? Somebody get one of the Athramites, they'll back me up.

It's sprocking purple.

Trust me, you gotta have a good eye for color on Rimbor if you don't want to find yourself messing with the wrong gang.

Even though it's sprocking purple. I know purple, I wear purple --

The indigos, eh, it's in the name anyway.

But one of the firmest sticking points was that the Green Lanterns disappeared after a Green Lantern that was a sentient planet died.
I'm sorry. This is a different universe than yours, but I know that's probably still hard to hear.

[ planetbrooooo ;_; ]
No word on the orange ring showing up here?
[ Not sure if that's good or bad, honestly... ]

Who are we in contact with from the greens? From any of them, actually.

Any of those names familiar?

Especially Kilowog.
[ This might be the happiest Hal's sounded in a while. ]
