<gives Dev an "if looks could kill" glare> <face turns red and looks toward Rocky and Cobie> Thanks for the armchair psychoanalysis, you two....
<to Rocky> I loved you with all my heart, Rocky. But you dumped me like I was nothing because of some stupid, antiquated tradition among your people. To me, love is something that transcends all of that garbage. I realize that kind of thing is part of the fiber of who you are, but I can NEVER understand what you did! Never. Unless, you never felt the same way as I did in the first place...or you couldn't deal with loving someone as...challenging...as me. I warned you going in, and you told me you weren't afraid of my baggage. I--
<thinks> Pull back, Lardy. This is too much to show in front of all these others...
...if you think this is all some overreaction to our breaking up, then you underestimate me as a man.
<to Cobie>
Same to you, pal. If a man takes a personal loss (in this case his powers) and tries to make lemons out of lemonade, you're gonna brand him as overcompensating? Yeesh, man! You've barely spent two minutes with me since I took over as Chief, and you know what I'm all about now? Seriously?
<laughs> Any other penetrating analyses the rest of you care to offer?

Power Boy appears to be distracted .... looking far off out the windows .. hearing the Chief's passionate words .. he speaks ..
"Well .... er ... YES .... "

My 'analysis' is inconclusive ..... yet we can not afford to cluck like chickens when the darkness surrounds us!!!"

<realizes his words did more harm than good>
Lardy...
<walks over to him; he puts his hand on his shoulder>
...you're my best friend. You're the only person I know where we've punched each other in the mouth and had a beer afterwards to laugh about it. We're both hard headed. Maybe we've both handled this all the wrong way.
<pauses; considers another option>
I have an idea. There is a lot I've got to tell you that I've discovered. But there is one final piece that needs to confirm it all.
Let me go free. And you join me yourself, in your new armor. Just the two of us--let's check this out. What we find may be a game-changer which will make all of this pale in comparison.
Your officers can keep watch on everyone if they want. But tell them to stand down.
Let's deal with this together.

Alright. For the sake of our friendship, I came here with the olive branch when I clearly have the upper hand, here. I mean, if I'm as crazy and out of control as you lot seem to think I am, why, I'd ignore interstellar law and level this place, right? <chuckles>
<is amused by the concerned, serious looks the others give him in response>
Anyway, yes, I'll go with you. The rest stay here, and my guards stay out there. Now, finally, we can get to the bottom of this...together.

<Rocky begins to experience an emotion he almost never indulges in: anger. No, he tells himself. Rage is not our way. He takes a deep breath, so deep he almost uses his super-breath.>
Chief, you are forgiven for your derision of the Pyngwyn Colonies on its own soil. Power Boy and Cobalt Kid are right. There is a greater foe than any of our petty angers and quarrels.

(Tempest has remained quiet, observing the interaction. But Cobalt Kid's gesture of brotherly companionship to Lardy has struck a chord with her.)
Intriguing as always, my Cobalt.
(She listens to Lardy's command to stay put.)
Of course, he too has something special about him.
(She turns to Dev Em and Power Boy. She smiles and waves.)

<smiles> I'll have to go retrieve my exo-armor first--you are NOT carrying my ass!
<walks out and retrieves armor from Roy>
Roy, make sure the standoff is maintained. NO aggression by the Security Office is authorized! I'll have anyone's head who violates that order---and I expect you to lead by example. You're in charge, here. You're my guy, Roy. <places hand on his shoulder for a second>
<to Tempest> If I send you our prearranged signal, you are to drop your barrier immediately. Then, I'll send you all new orders.
<to the rest> All of you make me proud!
<walks back to Cobie> I'm ready now.
