[The camera bobs and judders as someone sets it up, catching flashes of a scruffy, unkempt face and pale arms and the sky for a moment.]

Okay so I've been thinking, we've got super powers here, right?

[The picture steadies pointing out at what appears to be a beach, but is more likely to just be a simulated section of beach on the Legion World. It falls over, and Grif swears as he rights it again.]

...Anyway. By super powers I mean amazing things you couldn't do before, because otherwise you're just from some world where you can do cool stuff most of us can't and that's not superpowers, that's just life being unfair to the rest of us.

[Satisfied that the comm is stable, Grif steps out in front of it as he continues.]

So, I want to see what you guys can do. And because I am all about being fair, I'm going first.

[He swings his arms a little, takes a couple breaths, then bolts to the waterline. He's nothing but a speed blur followed by a trail of thrashed sand. He stops at the surf and charges back just as quickly. At the end he's doubled over in front of the camera, hands on his knees, huffing and wheezing.]

Whoo!

[He laughs as he catches his breath, which makes it somewhat harder, and is grinning despite how much that tiny display of super speed seems to have taken out of him. In good shape, this guy is not.]

It's like... it feels like everything's normal speed to me when I do it and everything's all slowed down. It's crazy shit, man.

[Grif plunks down heavily in the sand and picks up the comm again, still visibly panting.]

So. That's me. Show me what you got.

((OOC: Feel free to threadhop each other and talk about powers if you like! Grif is encouraging sharing.))

[Almost as if to counterbalance Brainiac 5, the somewhat heavyset young man who introduces himself next seems friendly and engaged.]

Don't mind Brainy too much, folks. He's been under some pressure lately. But he does have a soft, squishy center. We promise.

Anyways Chuck Taine here, codename Bouncing Boy. Like Kid Q said, in addition to regular Legion duties, I'm the support staff coordinator, and give piloting lessons. The former is largely because I started out as support staff, and the latter because one of my jobs during that period was, and still technically is, chief pilot. SO if you have any questions about either subject, I can assure you I do know what I'm talking about.

Even if you don't have questions, you can always feel free to talk to me. I like talking to new people, even if these aren't exactly the best circumstances for it.

[Here's that green guy Kid Quantum had introduced. Apparently, he has more to say himself about what he specifically has to offer them. His expression is almost long-suffering, as if he's annoyed at yet one more interruption to his work. Or maybe it's their sheer existence that bothers him -- because now he has to worry about safely getting them home.]

My name is Brainiac 5. Kid Quantum has elected to inform me that I should make it clear that you can avail yourself of certain resources on the ship.

To that end, I want to apprise you all of the fact that you are welcome in my -- [he pauses and inhales deeply through his nose, as if the next words are very hard to say] -- in the Science Labs if you're technologically inclined and would like a space to work on whatever projects you want to...fiddle around with.

Those who are not technologically-inclined should steer clear because there is very delicate and vital equipment that could potentially decohere every molecule in your bodies until you're a fine atmospheric mist.

[And on that pleasant note...]

For those of you that come from such primitive worlds that you don't know what a molecule is because no one's developed a body of knowledge on particle physics -- and for those of you that can't seem to manage the very basic motor functions of turning a vidscreen on -- I will be offering regular lessons on basic scientific principles and on pushing buttons in sequential order.

For those of you that are engineers, I will also be providing tutoring on how to engineer and manipulate technology in this era in a way that's actually effectual.

[He doesn't really seem to be trying to be offensive. There's definitely no malice in how he says these things. But offensiveness is just kind of just happening anyway.]

As the UP government is currently suffering from a surplus of incompetence at the moment, I will be the primary individual responsible for the research and development of technologies that can possibly get you home or to the dimension of your choosing. If any of you have particular expertise in the many sciences that are involved in interdimensional travel and quantum tethering, please contact me so that we can collaborate.

That is all.

[Charming, isn't he?]

[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.
