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.

[That was disappointing to hear. Not that he'd needed them, but still.
Jason never really considered it from that angle. He was, after all, one of the ones in the giant robot, not one of the guys on the ground. He'd actually never really considered their fights from their angles, but everyone at school and Ernie's always seemed okay and the city loved them, so...]
Well, you know. After about a year, it's pretty much our new normal. I guess I've never really thought about it too much, you know?
no subject
[Tadashi shakes his head.]
I guess people can really get used to anything. That's pretty cool.
no subject
It probably helps that the Rangers do their best to keep anyone else from getting hurt. Everyone feels safer with them around.
no subject
Are the Power Rangers your home-town hero team? It doesn't really sound like a government agency...
no subject
no subject
[Tadashi grimaces.]
Well, that they're willing to help and that they don't either make it worse or put themselves in danger.
no subject
Someone's got to do it. At least it's people who aren't in it for the paycheck or the glory.
[Not that the Legion's really either of those things. He might not agree with how they did a lot of things, but there's no denying that it worked.]
no subject
[laughs humorlessly]
You can trust me on that one.
no subject
[That seems like a sore subject there. It probably wasn't a good idea to push on it.]
I just hope this whole Lantern situation doesn't explode enough to where that kind of knowledge is necessary.
no subject
On the other hand, the longer I'm in the Legion, the less things surprise me, so...upside? We'll be almost impossible to shock when we get home, though our incredulity may take a beating.
no subject
[Yeah. Right. Like Jason's got the smarts and charisma to effectively lie about creating future tech.]
no subject
no subject
So far the weird stuff from home's been keeping me pretty grounded here. But, yeah. I get what you mean now.
Speaking of cool space toys... What d'you want to bring home the most?
no subject
Medical tech. Definitely the medical tech. The flying cars are cool and all, and so is space, but medical tech seems the best thing to bring back to really help people.
no subject
Man, I was going to say flying cars, but now you're making me feel guilty for not even thinking of med tech. [Of course, it'd be easier to tell that he was feeling guilty if he weren't laughing.]
no subject
[Tadashi laughs as well
Well, medical tech is kind of my thing. Plus I think my friend GoGo would punch me if I brought back flying cars. She's trying to invent a bike along those lines and she'd be really annoyed if I scooped her out of nowhere.
