I'm stunned that no one has discussed how the Legion exemplifies the values of the Bloomsbury group, such as friendship, speculative discussion, persistent questioning of convention, agnosticism, advocacy of social change, appreciation of the innovative in the arts, and a testing of moral values.

UTS - easily stunned?

A 31st century Bloomsbury group? Interesting, UTS - many of those defining aspects of the Bloomsburians (?) do apply. Unfortunately, the post-boot Legion seems to be definitely lacking in the arts, whether through individual members' abilities/interests or depiction of their universe. No painters, no poets, no novelists or dramatists - Ferro did some sketching (one issue?), that's about it that I can recall. It's very one sided on the techy & sci-fi level.

Even the pre-boot Legion wasn't particularly strong on this point, although we did have the occasional museum foray, Yera the actress, the lumna-organ, the Last Supper (a recent discovery!) and a few other nods to the arts.

Bloomberg tech still exists in the 31st century? Damn! I thought the asole virus of 2371 took care of them permanently.
