whyarewehere[ The post drifts up onto the comms one evening, just a simple line of text to ask a simple question:]
guys, how do aliens know when other aliens are hot?

whyareweherecalibrates_big_gunsIs the anon meme always this ... [He trails off, swirling the half-empty highball of something alcoholic in his hand as he searches for the right word. He settles on:] Colorful?
[He chuckles, scrolling down the page. Facially, he's not the easiest guy to read, but everything here just screams amusement.]

pump_action[Recovering from her first major mission, Claire throws herself into a project she's been working on since she arrived. Today, it is nearing finished, although there are still some holes she needs to address. This she can't do without a bit of help. A video feed opens to Claire sitting at her desk in her office that is her habitat. You know, the one with the perfectly manicured and fabulously landscaped grounds? With the architecturally interesting buildings? Yeah, that one.]
[She smiles for the camera.]
Good evening, Legion. I hope everyone is recovering from the recent missions.
[She definitely took a spa day or two.]
If anyone is interested in a less active sort of mission, I have just the thing. I am looking for a handful of volunteers to travel with me to Korugar, Rann, and Tamaran for a goodwill PR tour. Each stop will involve a meet and greet, a Q&A panel, and signing, so be aware that we will be presenting the best face forward for the majority of this tour.

AN EYE FOR AN EYE - [modplot]
Aug. 15th, 2017 06:26 pmrelativityspeakingI'm also getting word that the Spectre has decided to grace the UP with his presence again -- with the worst timing ever.
Takron-Galtos is under attack, and he's killing many of the inmates inside. Due to the attack and the tech failures, the prison's security team is also failing at securing the inmate population, and need help preventing the uprising that's fomenting.
I'm sending a team to defend the lives of the inmate population and use the Spear of Destiny and trap the Spectre once and for all. You'll also be responsible for securing the prison to make sure none of the prisoners take advantage of the chaos being caused by the Spectre and the Brainiac to escape.
You'll be operating with very little chance of backup. With the mechanoforms, we're already outnumbered several hundred thousand to one on Colu. This team is going to have work independently, with little outside assistance, and may have to contend with emergency t-gate failures causing extraction to be impossible until the Brainiac crisis is over.
Due to the...theological implications and the Spectre's MO being affected by personal history, this mission is going to rely on volunteers.
For those that haven't faced the Spectre before, I'll be sending you a case file on our past encounters and how he operates.
[She draws in a deep breath.]
Releasing him to defeat Galactus was one of our only options, but this is still our mess. It's time to clean it up once and for all.
[ooc: Locked to characters participating in "An Eye For an Eye." All others can be assumed as being on missions. This can be used for IC planning against the Spectre itself and the characters deciding who should wield the spear.]

and I'm Claire. [Video/Open]
Jun. 20th, 2017 05:30 pmpump_action[The feed opens on what could be a stock footage from a business video; Claire has found her habitat and she's broadcasting from behind the desk of her office, overlooking a corporate campus. She herself is dressed smartly in pale colors.]
Good afternoon, Legion. I thought I should introduce myself. My name is Claire Dearing, otherwise known as The Director. [Keeping it professional, but there's still a little hesitance with her 'superhero name' because seriously, she's a grown woman.]
Back home I was Director of Park Operations for a, uh ... an amusement park, [Sure yeah let's leave it there,] and I'd like to offer my services to anyone who might need business advice. This can be anything from finances, public relations, general or specialized business practices.
[Please just give her something normal to work with.]
Thank you, and I look forward to working with you.

calibrates_big_guns[If Garrus looks a little bit uncomfortable, it's only because he is. He's not exactly at home in front of the camera, especially in any kind of official capacity. He's always worried - probably justifiably - about tripping up or saying something stupid.
[Still, he's already been pulled into another dimension and narrowly avoided death today. He's fairly certain he's seen the worst of it no matter how badly he botches his introduction, and for some reason that's reassuring.]
Hi, everyone. I'm Garrus Vakarian with ... honestly, I'm not sure what outfit I'm with anymore. [It's gotten very complicated over the past few years. There's a beat before he adds thoughtfully] I guess it's the Legion now.
Not really sure how all of this works, but I'm a former Citadel Security Investigations Officer, turian military before that, and up until recently I was the resident marksman on the Normandy if that means anything to anyone who happens to see this.
[Not that he expects anyone to.]
As for codenames, mine is Archangel.
[He pauses.]
That's all I can think of as far as introductions go, so ... I guess I'll see you all in the field.

whyarewehere[ Grif is in one of Legion World's lounges. There's a space future pool table behind him, set up for a game. ]
Hey Legion, how's it going?
[ Wait. No. He holds up a hand. ]
Rhetorical question, don't answer that, it's not what I'm here for. What I'm here to talk to you about today is superpowers.
[ He's found his stride, and taken an almost public-service-announcement tone. ]
Do you have strange new abilities since coming to space? Were you just extra cool before the rest of us and nothing changed? Cause I definitely want to know what you guys got in the Time Trapper lottery and please make it look as awesome as possible.
[ He grins a little. Superpowers are the best. ]
For those of you who are new, which is most of who I'm talking to here? I'm Grif. Doubletime if you want to go all codename on me but... Grif. Really. Sometimes I look like this:
[ He scoops a space-age looking helmet painted bright orange off the floor, presumably, then drops it again with a thunk. It's armor, he's not gonna break it, right? ]
And me? I got this.
[ Grif disappears in an orange blur and suddenly, the pool table clears itself in a flurry of indistinct motion. He comes back down from super speed and casually leans the cue against it.If anyone bothers to slow that down, it was an absolutely disgraceful display and he cheated at least six times. Grif is super smug. ]
So yeah. I kind of got the best power already? Sorry.
[ Oh right, there was something else he wanted. ]
And everybody else? Uh. Anything new that's cool? ...Or just tell me how the last mission went for you. I got to go into the past and wrestle Batman and stuff. He's kind of a dick, honestly.
((( This is a free for all mingle post! Grif will reply to everyone who responds, but this also an invitation to threadjack. If you want to have a character jump into a thread somewhere with anyone else you are absolutely welcome and, in fact, encouraged. This is set after Gods Among Us / To Have And To Hold / The Other Mother and before Time Ripples, so it is slightly backdated to give characters a chance to meet the regular versions of each other before the nonsense begins.

She herself is a red-haired, pale-skinned human woman with green eyes and a calm, no-nonsense demeanor, wearing what looks like it could be a military or merchant marine uniform, though it has no obvious insignia or rank.]
My name's Shepard. I just got here, obviously, and I have a question. The staff was polite about it, but considering one of them nearly dropped his datapad when I floated the idea, there's obviously something they're not telling me...why is "Spectre" a bad codename?
[She could just freakin' Space Google it, but this is a good icebreaker. Besides, she doesn't have her omni-tool and she finds the omnicomm interface unreasonably clunky and inflexible.]
