relativityspeaking[When Kid Q shows up on screen, she looks understandably disheartened. They tried their best on these last few missions and in a few very important places, they succeeded. Even during a dark time there had been a silver lining, there'd still been people the team had saved. Banishing Eclipso, for instance, means they don't have a Spectre-level threat dogging their steps from here on out, a situation that might've been much worse than the Spectre being free, due to her specifically targeting them instead of criminals]
[But this is still a loss and it's up there in terms of being one of the worst possible things that could've happened at this point in the game.]
[And it's not really something she knows how to deal with well. Even after the catastrophe that made the missing Legionnaires go missing, the team had held together, and since the displacee Legionnaies started getting pulled into this universe, they'd won almost every battle they'd fought. Maybe those wins involved sacrifice or ill-advised choices, like freeing the Spectre to defeat Galactus - but they'd made their choices and managed. Recently, they'd even cleaned up some of their old messes.]
I want to thank you all for how hard you fought on Apokolips. It's one of the worst battles we've faced so far since you displacees started to show up in this universe, and because you the Science Police garrison had minimal casualties, most of them lost before we showed up.
[Her eyes divert slightly from the camera.]
Our engineering teams weren't so lucky. We lost three teams of engineering support staff. Thirty-six staffers in all. We thought it best for Brainy to be the one to notify their families, since he was their direct superior and knew them all personally, so he's doing that right now.
We'll be holding a memorial service for them in a garden area in the Hab Deck at 10:00 tomorrow.
[She frowns.]
The Catatrophists and the Herald - the Penitant - they activated something deep within Apokolips and managed to successfully relocate the planet. Brainy's still trying to track where and hestill hasn't figured out a way for us to destroy the planet without it creating a tear in reality due to the defenses left behind by Darkseid, which was the whole reason we wanted to move it instead of destroying it in the first place.
That means that our enemies have a planet-sized war machine to attack us from.
Brainy also doesn't how to stop the Penitant, whoever she was, from summoning those monsters again, but he's at least figured out a way to shield Legion World from a similar attack, with help from the Book of Magic and technology similar to what was developed for us to move and hide Apokolips.
[Now she's got to do the inspirational part, she knows she does.]
I know things look bad right now, but through its history this team has weathered living nightmares and multiple apocalypses - and that kept happening after you all showed up. We've faced Galactus, the Yellow and Red Lanterns, the Fatal Five, Murderworld, the Faceless, the Legion of Supervillains, multiple Heralds, the Spectre, the Brainiacs...
Even in this fight, we faced the literal wrath of God and still beat her.
I don't know about the rest of you, but Apokolips or not, I'm not ready to say die.
