[[ OOC: Unless specifically stated and to avoid paradoxes and what not, the locations pictured aren't the exact maps in Overwatch. ]]

[ 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. 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. ]

Shellee: Welcome to another installment of Legion Watch: Legionnaire Legacies! Tonight, we're taking a look at the mysterious mechanical monk with no hero name to date, Tekhartha Zenyatta!

[ooc: This is the kickoff for the Meta's escape player plot, so it's backdated to fall in the lull before the current plots. Participation in the recapture/rescue log is limited to people already signed up, but anyone can respond to this post.]

We've got a problem.

[It's Cortana's voice, but the video doesn't feature her. It's security camera footage. Some of the team will recognize it as Takron Galtos. Everyone will recognize it as not how things are supposed to be in any well-run facility, penal or otherwise, smoking holes in walls being against building codes generally.

The recording freezes and highlights a figure caught mid-stride in a dead run through the chaos. After a moment, the other objects, then the background, then the smoke obscuring the figure disappear from the frame (courtesy of the UNSC's finest data analysis software--you're welcome) leaving only the escapee.

The Meta.

Should Cortana have that footage? Probably not. Still, the Legion has a compelling interest in making sure the nastiest people in the galaxy stay locked up, and the Meta is kinda personal for quite a few of the team.]

Something interesting, though.

[Because super-powered jailbreaks aren't interesting to Cortana, apparently.

Back to the video, frozen again on a frame that doesn't look noteworthy, but it runs through a series of graphical transformations that emphasize what seems to be noise until overlaid on a grid, which Cortana then thoughtfully translates into human-readable format for the non-AIs in the audience: four rows by ten columns of numbers, all falling between 0 and 300.]

This sequence recurs throughout the recording at intervals corresponding to the first hundred prime numbers. It's the complete scoring record for the AI bowling league right up until we disbanded. Odds against a random occurrence are so high I'd expect to see the heat death of the universe first.

North, get your ass in gear.

[The backdrop of this video is...unfamiliar. It's not part of Legion World, nor is it part of the scavenge-built garage he usually broadcasts from.]

Allllllrighty.

I hate long good-byes [Truth is, he's probably never had a long one in his life, but still...] so I'll get straight ta the point: we're makin' a break fer it.

Long story short, we bought--yes, bought, down payment and loan and interest-paid and all, don't say I never changed my ways--so that we can take this whole crime-fightin' justice-servin' dealio ta freelancin'. Nothin' personal, mates, just tired of sittin' still waitin' fer someone ta send us home. We'll call it, uh...schedule conflicts. Yeah.

So, if any of ya have any unfinished business with either myself, Blue Falcon, or Roadhog--speak now or forever hold yer peace, 'cause once we leave we ain't lookin' back.

Been a blast workin' with you all. [A giggle.] Oo-roo!

thedreamisdead

[There's no getting around it. It's an essay. About the dangers of sugar abuse on your health, linked to several medical articles. In it, she links the abuse of sugar to depression, diabetes, dopamine imbalances, fueling cancer cells and making tumors more aggressive, impotence, increased risk of heart attacks and heart disease, increased inflammation leading to joint pain and arthritis, increased risk of strokes, kidney failure, and rotting teeth.

Included in her essay is a list of signs of sugar abuse, including false teeth, rotten teeth, pupil dilation, jitteriness, mid-afternoon 'crashes', and other symptoms.

She wraps up with a plea for people to seek help and rehabilitation for their addictions and avoid anyone who might try to push such addictive substances on them.]

[ Tadashi is reclining in a bed in medical, wearing the beatific smile of the enlightened and the well and truly stoned. ]

I love biology. Well, no, I'm enthusiastic about biology, I don't love it. I love programming and engineering and my family and helping people. Not in that order. Maybe in that order in regards to science. Except programming and engineering are the tools I use to help people, but I do love them too.

[ He stares off into space for a moment, then shakes himself and focuses back on the camera again. ]
( and the rambling continues )

[What has no thumbs and is sick to death of gods and sorcerers and magic spears and all the similar crap that keeps popping up? This AI.

Well, actually, her hologram has thumbs, but they're currently not visible behind the equally holographic folded arms.]

Poll: how many of you are from universes where the supernatural is real? Magic, gods, shoe-making elves that aren't just a parable about virtue, whatever.

[Why Grimm's Fairy Tales? Why not Grimm's Fairy Tales? It's all equally nonsense as far as thorough-going materialist Cortana is concerned.]

[Tucker looked...well, it was hard to tell because his helmet's on, but there was something annoyed in his movements. Behind him was a room that seemed mostly barren and militaristic aside from the tossed about mess, a room that might seem familiar to his Chorus friends really, and the camera shook a little as he plucked something off a wall. It was turned over in his hand before he pointed it at the camera. A photograph, one with five human kids holding basketballs, and one that's...a little different.]

Since someone brought it up and now we're talking about it, yeah, I've got a kid. His name is Junior and he's amazing and I'm super freakin' proud of him. He can kick anyone's ass in basketball, is a freaking diplomat and on a scholarship, he knows at least ten different words for "dick", and he hasn't bitten a person in at least three months. He got a ribbon at school for that one.

[He pulled the picture back and put it on the wall again; there was one in his wallet, too. He was, in some few and far between ways, like every other dad out there, just with better jokes.]

He's the best goddamn thing about being a Chosen One. [There was a momentary pause, because--]...Okay, so maybe he's tied with the sword.

Don't ask specifics. Just know that childbirth sucks, I don't want to talk about that, but I'll tell you how damn amazing my son is if you want to listen. And I know I'm not the only one with weird families, so come on and spill it.

bringinghopewithme

[This isn't the first time there's been a video post on Legion's network made by a rabbit, but it is the first time the rabbit making it is six feet tall, with an accent thick enough to cut with a knoife.]

G'day, mates. I'm the Easter Bunny.

[This would be the place to insert a punchline, if this were a joke. Bunny does not insert one. Actually, by his smug smile, he seems pretty proud of the title.]

I'm gonna need to get down to Earth sooner rather than later. Gettin' dragged out here did away with most've my powers, and I need to get down to a real bush to figure out what I've still got. Who's headed planetside when?

[The video snaps on. It’s Ferro, and even through his iron mask it’s easy to tell that the boy is disturbed.]

So, uh. After, you know. Blue Rose dropped in. And vanished. After that, I felt like I needed to visit the Hall Of Fallen Heroes and, you know. Pay my respects to her and our other friends.

[He clears his throat and glances around.]

Um. All of the statues are gone. It’s supposed to be impossible, only Legionnaires have access to the memorial hall, but, well. Take a look.

[He sweeps his camera across the room. It’s a peaceful area, meant for solemn remembrance It’s also completely empty. The pedestals that the massive golden statues stood on are still there, but none of the statues, not Monstress, not Element, not Blue Rose, are present. He refocuses on himself.]

Judge Beeny, Mr. Allen, could you come down and sweep the area with your, uh. Forensics stuff? I’m not trained for that, you might find something I missed.

[They won’t, but it would be good to do a sweep anyway.]

I did find these, though. They were on a saucer in the middle of the room.

[He holds up four cards with question marks on the back. One of them just has pictures. Another says ’ Even if I said that it was the Opal of Earth, you wouldn't understand the gravity of it.’ The third says ’ Even though I fell on Judgement Day, I came back. It took much longer than three days, in my case.’ And the final card says ’ Some revered me like a god. To others, I was a waste hauler. To all, I mean something.’]

I’m no good with riddles. I always just turned the magazines upside down to get the answers. Can any of you make sense out of this?

Well, isn't this nice?

[Peter has a mug of coffee clasped between his hands and is wearing an obnoxiously acid green t-shirt. You can take the man out of the gym, but you can't take the gym out of the man. His tastes haven't changed that much.]

Electricity. Hot running water. Coffee. As much alcohol as I can imbibe. It's delightful.

[Yes, he does intend to take advantage of the new-found luxury.]

I would love to say that I'm shocked to be here and all those platitudes about trying to adjust, but really, this makes about as much sense as anything else that's happened to me in the last few years.

Zombie apocalypse, insane hippies with mind-control rays, people growing lizard scales... superheroes and alternate realities seems like the next logical step, as far as logic has anything to do with it.

[He takes a long drink of his coffee.]

Oh yes. You can call me Peter. I'm... A Runner, entertainer, part-time spy and occasional meat shield. I'm sure we'll have a marvellous time together.

gonebyebye

Hey there. For those of you who don't know me already, I'm Dr. Ray Stantz, and I'm a paranormal investigator.

So, I've noticed lately that we've gotten a few skeptics in board lately, and it made me wonder about something. How many of us have encountered the supernatural before the Legion? You know, psychics, ghosts, demons, magic, goblins, gremlins, Nessie, vampires, that sort of thing? If you have any stories about the paranormal, I'd love to hear them. If you'd rather not go into details, that's fine too. Just a little curious, is all.

[This day had to come eventually, didn't it? Just another one of those damn Blood Gulch Sim Troops arriving here to crash the party, and predictability a little late like always. But hey, it wasn't like he hadn't been busy saving a planet or being blissfully retired or anything equally as important. Nope.

The video shifted a little as Tucker tried to set it upright, but it soon found itself quickly propped at an angle that said this wasn't his first time recording himself; the purpose of such skills would be left up to the viewer to guess at their own discretion. But hey, have Tucker with that beautiful aqua colored armor looking right back at you, even as he sat back down and tried to appear relaxed, cool, okay with ...well, all this. All this.

Ladies in hot tight superhero outfits definitely helped.]

So, yeah, Tucker here. [It felt like an interview with Dylan. Good thing talking about himself was one of his favorite things to do.] Please try to contain your applause, but ladies, feel free to toss your bras in my general direction.

[No shame, this one.]

You know, I was kind of busy back home. [With Church shit. It was always Church shit, and there wasn't a single damn regret for it; in a way, he hoped it kept being Church shit because that meant that bastard was still around. Tucker wanted to be back there, needed to be back there because--] Those idiots - my idiots - have no one to lead them now unless you count Sarge and no one counts Sarge. Shit, I don't even think the Reds count Sarge. Okay, so maybe Simmons does, but whatever.

[He sighed, rubbing his hand over his helmet before he just waved his hand.] But cool, superpowers, am I right? I mean, if I was getting chicks before, I'm getting triple chicks now.

[Let the record show that he was not, in fact, getting ladies before, and that the triple of "zero" is still "zero".]

Look, I just want to get this shit done and over with so I can get back to being a badass back home and get my shit done. So, you know, I'll do what I have to, I guess.

[There's a sigh, that burden of few choices and responsibility - ew - before he cocked is head up.]

Hey, important final question: where do all the hotties hang out around here? There's the title of wingman up for grabs if you tell me.

[At least the video ends there, and everyone was probably better for it.]

grumpylady

I'm looking for volunteers for an experiment.

My ability makes me highly resistant to damage, and I want know exactly what its limits are. You can use whichever method you want to try to harm me. I won't fight back.

I'll be waiting in the gym area.

[2B pauses for a moment, before adding:]

Don't hold back.

[OOC: Actual attempts can be handwaved or logged here via action-spam!]

[The image on the screen shows a blue haired girl in a rather interesting outfit taking her pledge to join the Legion.]

To the Legion of Superheroes I make this solemn pledge: To use my powers for good. To fight for justice and protect the innocent. To aid my fellow Legionnaires in times of peril and to keep their secrets safe.

I choose a new name to honor the heroes of the past. I am the Guardian of love and Intelligence, I am Sailor Mercury!

[She couldn't help but add in part of her usual introduction as she swore her oath. Back home she did what she could to protect people and that wouldn't change while she was here. The new powers would take some getting used to though.

After finishing her oath, she turns her attention back to the omnicom with a smile and a small bow.]

Hello. My name is Sailor Mercury, but you may also call me Ami. I've only just arrived here, but I will do what I can to help.

I do have a question, does someone know where I might be able to find a library?

goddamnwingman

[Video feed flips on with the observation deck serving as a backdrop to a man in black. Black cowl, covering the head and upper face, all the way down the neck and across the shoulders. All that shows is the man's lower face as some sort of lens even covers his eyes.]

[Though the cowl is a little odd in that there are definitely 'ears' on the top of the head. Though lower than some who knew him in his own world might have seen before. Then again, Batman did like changing up his costumes from time to time.]

[He's frowning, but it seems more a thoughtful frown than one with any actual emotion behind it.]

I have to admit, this isn't where I expected to be when I started my patrol.

Anybody want to give me the rundown of this place? The one that's not sanitized for newcomers.

[Miku has an uncharacteristic frown on her face, and she tugs lightly on a piece of her long fringe. Then, suddenly, she takes a deep breath and---]

[She bows quickly and then adds,] Sorry, this was for Brainiac.

unrecovered

[Wash looks a bit better than he did a week ago; turns out a successful mission and a plan for the future really do help.]

We've all seen the Legionnaire Legacies, and I'm pretty sure we're all tired of them. Well, Mirage is a genius, and she had an idea: we'll make fake ones. Use our Anywhere Machine to pull real footage, create fake footage to supplement it, write our own narratives, and broadcast them. It'll discredit the press, and it might keep them off our backs, because there's no reason to broadcast someone's past if it's already been done by someone else.

So. Who's in?

legionnpcs

[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 capture of War and the corrupt Council-members.]

[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. More serious news outlets have already reported on the Council-members; this is one of the fluffier retrospective programs that have aired.]

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.]

relativityspeaking

[When Kid Q goes on the comms for the post-mission debrief, she is smiling. Smiling smiling smiling.]

I'm happy to report that both of the recent missions were a complete success. After we weakened Tsarista by breaking out of all her story scenarios, we managed to re-capture her in an omnicom. Some of our allies from Sorcerer's World have given us some assistance in providing better magical protections around her prison.

[Her smile widens slightly and goes mischievous.]

If anyone wants to see the pictures we got of Brainy turned into an adorable forest creature, Timber Wolf is making the rounds.

hallaifyouherd

I greet you, my fellow Legionnaires.

[ The image accompanying said greeting is that of a young woman with pointed ears and tattoos across the upper part of her face, peering inquisitively into the camera. She thinks she's got this broadcast option thing down. ]

In case we haven't met? My name is Marjara.

[ Her lips quirk upwards, before her expression grows a little more somber. ]

I've been thinking something through. And I think I know what I want to do. But a little experience from other people who might have gone through similar circumstances would help. I think.

[ She's not going to ask them to choose for her. Gods knew she'd never let someone make her mind up for her before now, and she wasn't about to start...but learning about the shift? The consequences? The little things that came along with it that you might not initially think about? Might be worth the time to ask. ]

Have any of you lost a part of you, a limb or...something else of similar importance, and chose to have it replaced? Would you be willing to speak of what it was like for you?

If not, I still thank you for your time.
