<A gathering continues. Low-ranking security officers sit all around, but say nothing. Hrun the Barbarian's body is laid on a make-shift bed>
(Even now, she barely understands that this is her father. Hrun...I always suspected, after Infinite Crisis, but now I know for sure. I wonder if even you know for sure. I promise to tell you. I, too, know what its like to have a daughter that scarcely realizes she's related to you. If Umber never sees it...perhaps Brittney will for you)
<turns back, seeing My Wheem Fem and Everyday Girl discussing strategy>
Girls, listen. I know you wanted Jailbait Lass to back you up, and that would be pretty cool, I admit <grins>, but while Lolita has proven herself time and time again, she's not a field agent. She's doing something for me as we speak. Don't worry, she'll arrive eventually in all this madness.
No, it needs to be me with you. Slim is out for my blood and I can't let you rush off without me. But despite what your grandpa thinks, Brit, it must be you that leads this charge. You have a way of getting these things done. I'll say no more about it than that.
<security officers eye Cobalt as if he's speaking another langauge>
So, shall we prepare for our assault on Slim's?

You know, once you start going on field missions you get a pretty hefty pay raise?

Okay, I've given this a lot of thought and it kinda depends on some things we don't know...
How does he freeze people into those time cube thingies? Is it his power or does he have some weapon or device inside his bar that does it?
How many targets can he handle at once? I mean everyone he's caught went in alone... Maybe we can overwhelm him with numbers... Send in a redshirt squad first, god I never thought I'd even suggest something like that...

I know M. But Gramps is right about one thing. Slim's time freezing power can't hurt them. It just captures them.
But Gramps hasn't been able to find out what else Slim has in that Bar. Think about this. Who could kick Mr Hrun's butt like that? Something or someone inside that bar whipped his ass good and we don't know anything about it.
That's why Gramps isn't willing to attack yet. He wants more info and nobody's been able to get it.

My, she's right. Its an excellent command decision. It seems cold-hearted but these officers signed up to defend Legion World, and that's what we'll be doing. Slim is kidnapping citizens non-stop and must be stopped immediately.
I agree--overwhelming him with numbers seems like it would be the best approach. I have a feeling its something within the bar itself allowing him to freeze people, which is why he won't leave it. After the first squadron of officers goes in, we'll see how Slim reacts and perhaps then attack with ourselves, the big guns if we think we have an opening.
If they don't freeze, perhaps we can learn what else Slim has up his sleeves.
