[The image is shaky at first, since he's holding it. A moment later and the image stabilizes and becomes much more than a chin or pair of nostrils. Stephen comes into view, he's wearing a red cloak with a high collar but it isn't his cloak and he's pretty miffed she didn't get pulled into this universe.]

Hello, everyone, I figure it's best to see if there's anyone I know here. New arrival, Doctor Stephen Strange, if that name rings a bell I congratulate you. That means you're alive and well because I was probably your Doctor. You're welcome.

[He waves a yellow-gloved hand. Underneath they were scarred and ached in certain temperatures, so he figured it'd be best to protect them in this manner.]

Now I've done this whole multiverse song-and-dance deal before. If I'd had the foresight to bring the Eye of Agamotto with me I could have taken care of your little problem. Chronoblivion? Been there, done that.

[He gets a dark look, and shakes it off. That sound exactly like Dormammu and he wouldn't be surprised if that simply was what they called him in this universe.]

Too many times.

Plus, what's the deal with giant world-eating entities? Do they have a club or something? Is it like what they do for fun since they're all bored in their dimensions?

Anyway. I decided to join your little group of Legionaires. I can't use magic here for some reason, but apparently I can still do some things. It's a little different from what I'm used to, but it's nice not having to worry about losing your sling ring.

[The video snaps into focus instantly, giving everyone a good look at Blue Rose chatting with a technician about adjustments to something in her hab. Given the half-finished look of the place, she's strutting through while everyone's still hard at work, making sure everything's just how she wants it. Better to do it now while they're there, after all. She beams at the camera for a moment.]

Hello, everyone! You'd think there'd be some kind of ceremony with a meeting or something. [Oh well.] I'm told this is probably where I'll be staying for the next few weeks until we've wrapped up this whole Chronoblivion situation, so I thought I'd extend a hand and introduce myself to everyone. Obviously I'm one of the newer arrivals. You can call me Blue Rose, or maybe Karina if I'm out of costume. One or the other, please. [She's well aware that there are some cultural difference here, but you've got to draw the line somewhere. She turns to a worker and waggles her fingers.] The softer yellow. The other shade would glare a bit, don't you think? Oh, you don't see the color? Well. Ah. Take my word for it. [She coughs and turns back.]


It's a pleasure to meet all of you! Really, it is. I don't think I've ever worked with so many NEXTs at once! It's kind of exciting. Anyway, why don't I talk a little about myself? Let's see, I'm eighteen years old. I've been a Hero with Titan Industries for almost four years now. I understand that's longer than a few of you, but I'm always willing to lend an ear if you've got any problems. [As long as they're not stupid problems.] I'm an elemental-type NEXT, I can make ice. I'd offer a demonstration, but I'd hate to interrupt the workers here by making a mess. So something small. [She holds up a hand and her eyes glow blue, with an accompanying aura. Slowly, a frosty rose forms between her fingers.] Tada!

Anyway, in addition to being a hero, I'm also an idol! I was looking forward to releasing my third album soon, but I think that's been put on hold. I don't think that will mean much here, though. Even if it wasn't another universe, a thousand years is a long time for music to remain popular, isn't it? Maybe I'll work on something new in my free time. [She turns away again when someone asks her something. She shakes her head, handing them the rose.] No, just a normal piano. I don't know how to work that one! Oh, just give me both, I'll learn that new one. Oh, can you add some cameras? I might start a new blog, and showing people how I work would be good. [And then she's back like she wasn't interrupted.]

Well, that's probably enough about me. If you've got any questions, feel free to ask! But, really, I'd rather hear about you all right now. Why don't you introduce yourselves?

[Gwen is frankly not okay knowing that her past is on the verge of being broadcast to way too many people. So, she's dealing with it in the most responsible way she knows how.

By distracting herself on something else entirely.]


So I get that meat and showers (the kinds with water) aren't all that common here in the future. But, uh.

Why?

Never really stopped to think about it until now.

So um... I've been thinking about this for a while. Ever since we left Harrub, actually...

[ He grimaced a bit, pausing for a couple of seconds. Glancing off to the side, before taking a breath, and addressing the camera again. ]

But um, after the whole Murderworld thing... it's kind of become clear that some of us aren't... handling things that well... [ He was thinking about Videl specifically, but the anon meme has also made it clear Videl wasn't the only one. ] I know we all took the oath for various reasons, and we probably all expected different things out of becoming a superhero. But um, some of us probably didn't expect this... so...

... With the whole "Legionnaire Legacies" thing coming around the corner, I think we should... [ Another pause, as he tries to figure out how to phrase this. ] ... um... I guess, share our lives with each other? To make sure we're prepared, in case... in case the news digs up stuff about us, and tries to drag us through the mud with it.

[ This is so weird and strange and against everything Gohan knows. He's usually the most secretive person in the world, but... he's kind of had to cope with having an open identity, so might as well go all in. ]

I guess um, I should go first? My name's Gohan, and... if you have any personal questions for me, I'll be happy to answer them...

[Goku waves into the camera. From what can be seen, he's made it to his part of the Legion World, an unusual-looking cabin in the middle of a clearing.] Hello, everybody! My name's Goku!

I've just got a question - what does all of this superhero stuff mean? I definitely wanna help people an' all of that, and this Chronoblivion guy sounds really tough, but all I really know 'bout being a superhero is that you help people an' there's lots of posing. [So much posing!]

Also, is there anywhere around here where I can get dinosaur meat? That'd be a big help too!

Think that's about it, [Somehow, he's not too thrown off by the time travel or universe-hopping] but I'm lookin' forward to meeting all of you!

[ Videl has just returned from a patrol on Bgztl, a lovely and peaceful place that bored her just about to death. She's been back on the Legion World for no more than two hours filing post-patrol paperwork, debriefing, and impatiently waiting for a chance to access the omnicomm network and get up to speed about what she's missed. ]

[ And that's how she greets the Legion network. No hello, no pleasantries, just a sudden video feed of herself looking rather anxious and not trying to hide it. ]


What's the status of the mission with the alternate dimension Lanterns? Have those teams returned yet? I need to know what happened.

[ Her eyes are flicking quickly back and forth from left to right, showing that she's reading something on her screen while she broadcasts. Videl's eyebrows, ever expressive, rise as she skims the Legionnaire roster. ]

Geez, that Time Trapper jerk was busy while I was gone. Six... no, seven new recruits? Is that right? [ She asks wonderingly, her agitation briefly giving way to surprise. ] I thought I was only on Bgztl for a few days. Unless there's some weird time discrepancy between Bgztl and Legion World. [ What even counts as a 'day' in this weird universe? ]

On yeah, and speaking of Bgztl... [ Videl's tone shifts to annoyance. ] If you ever have to go anywhere on that planet, make sure you ask about doors before you get to your destination. Native Bgztlians can just phase through stuff whenever they want, so a lot of short sighted architects forget to add doors to their stupid buildings.

[ It’s that time again, gang! Grif’s broadcasting from scenic his room. You can tell it’s Grif’s room because it is an absolute disaster area. There’s all kinds of empty containers strewn everywhere, a pizza box, his other uniform (it’s rumpled and in serious need of a wash), and scattered bits of an orange suit of armor. Of note to those who’ve born witness to this appalling scene before, the far wall has a shiny little plaque on it. That’s new.

All of this is visible in the frame because Grif’s slouching back in his chair with the comm propped up on his desk. He’s a scruffy, somewhat flabby guy swiveling his chair lazily to and fro with one leg while eating… something as he talks. With his mouth full. Because Grif. ]


Alright guys, it’s come to my attention, as the one who tries to keep track of this shit around here, that we have new people. And when we have new people, that means we have new superpowers to figure out how they work.

[ Because clearly, clearly Grif is the only member of the team to take an interest in others and what they can bring to the table. It’s not that he’s nosy and just wants to know if anyone has eye lasers yet. He just gives and gives for this group, he swears.

Grif deigns to swallow before he continues. ]


So: New people. Lay it on me. Who are you, and can you do anything awesome? If it’s not awesome, make it sound awesome, cause that’s what I’m here for.

I’ll start for you:

[ He thumbpoints at his chest, getting space twinkie crumbs everywhere because he’s using that hand. ]

I’m Grif, Doubletime if you want to be that nerd who uses my code name, and I’m pretty much the fastest thing on this ship. Which is awesome.

[ He pauses for a moment, then adds, ]

…And the rest of you should probably come say hi? Tell them stuff? And tell me about the mission because I was stuck back here babysitting the ship and I mean... I took a lot of good naps, but...

[ He shrugs. Then he finishes off the space twinkie, balls up the wrapper, and throws it over his shoulder where it lands on top of the orange helmet. He is not even remotely concerned by this. ]

((( This is a free for all mingle post! Grif will reply to everyone who responds, but if you want to have a character jump into a thread with anyone you are absolutely welcome and, in fact, encouraged. This is set after the end of Lantern Plot, so characters who've been away on that are able to tag in too. )))

[Brainy went to the Medbay and to see Dr. Ryk'rr for his post-mission debrief, as ordered. Standard procedure. But he hasn't slept. Of course he hasn't slept. He's been very, very busy. Especially since this is something that he couldn't find information about alone -- he's been putting in calls all night to countless other scientists in countless other institutions and government organizations.]

I checked four-hundred fifty different survey programs, run by various institutions and government organizations, and according to the most recent remote surveys that have estimated the size of the material universe, most data indicates that this universe is the same estimated size that it was when last assayed.

Except for every probe that has passed by a particular, distant, uninhabited sector of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Every single data compilation from every probe that passed through that sector has registered the existence of unexplained chronal and spatial anomalies, and that readings in that area indicate that the material universe is now at a size that is unquantifiably larger. It's as if this universe now simply has no end, even when its overall mass was once at a generally estimable size before.

In this sector, the fabric of spacetime is also twisted in configurations that the fabric of reality shouldn't even be capable of contorting into according to all known laws of astrophysics.

Every one of these organizations and institutions dismissed these anomalous readings as statistical outliers or equipment malfunctions. Due the probes often having long-distance sweeps that sometimes take them years or months to complete, it's only within the last few months that they started running diagnostics on their respective probes and start contacting other organizations to compare results. Since they had yet to determine a cause for such clearly impossible readings, they hadn't yet escalated notice of these readings to the appropriate authorities.

[Brainy draws in a deep breath.]

In layman's terms, something has attached itself to that sector of the galaxy. Something that has a mass larger than the entirety of this universe. Larger than the entire mass of multiple universes.

I've instructed the UP Council to bar all space travel to the area and plan to send my own probe to gather readings on the region, but as of this moment, I can say with almost 99.999% certainty, after seeing the readings I saw, that the Time Trapper was telling the truth.

There is no other possible explanation.

[The fight between the Spectre and Galactus is the kind of fight that can devastate worlds. That's why the Legion successfully managing to get the Surfer to lead Galactus away from Braal was so important.]

[But the end result is something...unexpected. The exposure of a particular cosmic being watching everything.]

[After he's caught, what he has to say changes everything.]

[The broadcast catches it all. Though the news drones were downed, the Legion's observation drones are working, and that means it puts all the video on the network in real-time.]

[So they see it: the reason they've been brought here. The being responsible. The change in what they're fighting for. They see it all.]

[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.]

So, we all kind of had a rough time on Naltor. And I think some of us realized that we could probably know our teammates a little better than we actually do. I mean, I know I did. Sooooo, I was kind of thinking that, you know. Maybe we should do some kind of team bonding stuff? You know, get to know each other a little better.

[It should probably be stated that he doesn't sound awkward at all during this. Jason actually sounds pretty excited about it all!]

I've been talking to a few people here and there and Mr. Brande pointed out an island he wouldn't mind letting us use. Nice, tropical, a stretch of beach for swimming here, some woods there... As long as we're responsible, we'd be good. We'd have a chance to unwind and plenty of time to hang out.

I've already set up a fire ring near the beach, but we can move it further into the woods if you guys like. The Legion can supply us with tents and food and I already have a ton of s'more makings available. I also had some help setting up some benches and stuff so we can sit down at a table or do trust falls or something like that. Or, you know, we can just sit and talk about home all night.

Oh. Guys, if you don't have swimsuits, specifically ask for trunks from the Athramites. Somehow speedos became the 'in' thing in the future.

Anyway, if you're interested, meet up at the threshold gates! If you're not, I'm holding the s'more ingredients hostage.

[[Basically just the setup for this]]

I want to thank you all for what you did for Naltor.

The UP emergency services are saying that the death toll is estimated in the hundreds, which is far more than is ideal but it could've been much worse. Thanks to all our efforts, they're saying we likely saved thousands.

The ten of us that are from this universe, we couldn't have saved nearly as many people on our own. And without your help, they might not have repaired the generators in time, which could've led the destruction of my planet, which could've claimed millions.

They still don't know what caused the disaster, though. Those rent-a-thugs that the team fought around the generators aren't talking and have psionic inhibitors. We think they're not responsible for the initial attack because there were some reports of visions of them trying to prevent the engineer teams from repairing the generators but not of them damaging them in the first place. Even if we do find out who they were working for, they might have been dealing with them with go-betweens.

And we still don't know why the attack was somehow blocked from the precognitive powers of everyone on Naltor. They've surveyed the public to see if any civilians saw the attack and so far it seems like it was entirely blocked from our view.

We don't know what it means and Brainy is still trying to figure out how it was even possible but Kid Q thinks it's probably not a coincidence. So far, I haven't had any visions about you displacees, either. We think all of it could be tied together somehow, especially since this didn't happen until you all started coming through the portal, but we still have no idea how.

In any case, Naltor is my homeworld. I have family and friends that were saved because of our rescue efforts. There's no way the Legion could've saved so many if you hadn't been willing to help us.

[ Grif, uncharacteristically, has left a text post instead of filming himself with the camera out of focus or too close to his face or with a thumb over the lens. Weird. At least the complete lack of capitalization isn't surprising.]

so how is everyone's training crap going?

just curious. no reason.

by the way, you know that thing the flash can do where he uses his speed powers to go through walls? total bullshit.

ps: some of you are new, and i want to know what your deal is. do we have anyone who shoots eye lasers yet? that would be awesome.

(OOC: This is dated to after the mission. Preemptively declaring I do not mind if you threadhop each other to talk about training or w/e as long as the other player involved is cool with it!)

[Hiro turns on the omnicom partially by accident, as he's not quite done with his cursory look-over of new technology. But he is aware that he's turned it on.]

So...I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that's found themselves in a place they definitely didn't set their head down to sleep in. Officer Erin seemed like she's done the spiel before, which probably isn't a bad thing.

[He finally turns the camera to his face showing a young half-Asian with a tooth-gap still at medical.] Not quite sure I'm buying into the whole powers thing yet. Nothing's managed to manifest yet, then again it's been... [He glances at a nearby clock.] About three hours. I mean, what kind of thing should I be looking out for?

[Yeah, he's geeking out.] I'm not going to be shooting lasers out of my eyes or suddenly turning invisible, am I? I mean, not that either of those are bad powers to be had, I'm just...not used to having them? [He scratches at his cheek.] My team and I kind of just fought with our wits and the equipment I made. Speaking of...is there a lab or something around here that I could do some inventing in? Might help me adjust quicker.

Oh, my name is Hiro by the way. Hiro Hamada. [He does a little wave and then turns the feed off.]

I've made a huge mistake.

[Story of Gwen's life, really.]

When they said that they could give me a part of the ship that could look however I wanted it to, I thought it was cool, you know? Like, straight out of a sci-fi film.

I could have my own piece of home and not have to worry about paying rent, being late, or most likely of all, getting fired from work.

[Heroes and time management, am I right?]

But now that I've made it this far...

[The video turns on and everyone can see what Gwen is looking at.]

[ You know, when Gohan picked up his omnicom, he had a pretty good idea of what he wanted to say. But astoundingly enough, when he actually turned on the video, he found that he wasn't actually sure how he was gonna go about saying the things he wanted to say. ]

Um...

[ Okay, so people saw the Great Saiyaman under a heroic light. That was good! But, the whole reason he had a superhero persona in the first place was to protect his identity, and now that was out in the open! After all, he didn't want his family under the spotlight! But... then again, they weren't here. And didn't even live here. Heck, for that matter, he didn't exactly go into this expecting to live much of a normal life outside the costume...

God, why did that stupid news program have to use his real name? ]

[The Legion World staff maintains a feed of all Legion-related media so Legionnaires can be kept abreast of any reporting that's done on them. A segment has aired on Neutrino News about the Legionnaires and their rescue of the UP Council.

[Two women appear on the screen, sitting at a desk, their appearances altered by glam filters so that one is all pink hair and skin and sparkles, and the other is all in blues. They look pretty flashy and tacky but this is the future. Reporters don't exist anymore; they're "personalities" now.]

Shellee: I'm Shellee Star! [That would be the pink one.]

Tammee: And I'm Tammee Tim! [That would be the blue one.]

Together: And this is Legion Watch! [They say it in unison in the perkiest voices possible and a stylized graphic of the words "Legion Watch" appear at the bottom of the screen. Occasional clickable sidelinks pop up as the news show goes on.]
