Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board Every 10 Years Forum Analyzing Purple Kryptonite

Matlock,

I've finally cleared through the proper paper work and have decided it is time to have the Purple Kryptonite, leftover from months ago, fully analyzed, to gain some idea from where it came from.

I am hoping that Reboot will be able to help me, since his technical expertise would be very valuable in doing so. The way things are around here, who knows what we'll find...

From what I understand, there may be some type of small inscription on the Purple K that I can't quite make out.

Any help any other poster can shed on this would be greatly appreciated.

I think that was the stone that fell off my engagement ring, sorry guys, we've been looking for that for months

You married Lex?

Right, sorry I can't be there to perform the analysis in person, but I can't be bothered turning off all the unreality bubbles, shields, etc around the 'Frame right now, y'know . Glitch's hardlight-holo-conduit for me should serve quite adequetely ('sides, who knows what purple K will do. I don't really want to take that chance, especially with who's issuing the invitation )

Where is it?

Last I recall it was in the hall closet in the Loser Cave. Since Cobie's one of the few who actually know where the Cave is I can only assume he's broken in and taken it(?)...

could it be ANOTHER piece?

Hmm. I suppose it could be, but Purple K is pretty rare. The one that was in my closet was the only piece that had ever been found on Legion World at the time it appeared.

Man, I really do need to get in there and clean out that closet one of these days.

Well the Purple K, much like 66% of Legion World, finally came out of the closet (ba-dum bum! I'm here all night folks!)

I've got it right here, although I probably shouldn't have handled it personally...I already feel slightly nausieous (it, er, um, is even effecting my spelling...).

Here it is 'Boot! From what I can tell, it looks like a few letters are inscribed somewhere in the center. Something else else that looks like "Lom sbw" or something. We'll need your tools to get a better look.

Hm...now I feel all tingly.

We musn't forget that this Purple K was used by some dastardly villain on myself and EDE many months ago, although we never found out who did it...

Oh, and if you're wondering, this all came about when I stopped by the Loser Cave in search of Lou's legendary jungle juice recipy. You know, the same one that once stopped a band of insane cannibals and turned them into a fun loving, beer-guzzling circus of clowns!

need some help with that?

My Jungle Juice recipe is a closely guarded secret! Let me know the next time you need some and I'll whip you up a couple dozen barrels.

Oh, and thanks for picking up the "out of the closet" spare I left lying there. I hate to see a good straight line go unused.

Why'dy'think I made a point not to turn up in person, so to speak

So that's what you're blaming the chip scheme on now, huh?

Hmmm... Glitch, adjust holosight zoom to 10 000%...

The letters you saw spell out LoMB.S.V., with "BWA-HAH-HA!!!" written underneath in even smaller print. Ring any bells, anyone?

Can you ease some of that pressure?

And that Jungle Juice recipy saved my life when it made me blind for a few days when we were fighting those chimeras!

The Bwa-hah-ha almost certainly means that they're evil! Good Grief, we may have a genuine serious threat to the safety of Legion World!

LoMB.S.V.? I think I can figure that one out...

Looks like it might be time to round up the troops...

You know Cobalt, you're really starting to look a bit green around the gills here.

...wait. Since when do you have gills?

I meant to file the paperwork on this a loooong time ago. Be that as it may, I got a small small piece off the chunk recovered from the scene of the crime, and had the 'bots down in the lab take a look at it. First off, lead does not stop it's rays, so don't try it. It can only be contained inside a box made of the even rarer taupe Kryptonite. As far as I can tell, taupe K has no harmful effects but is indistinguishable from other useless K colors like "eggshell" and "maize" to the unfashionalby trained eye. Like mine.

More details to follow...

My chest hurts a little too, for some reason.

I'm...not really sure what's happening...

...why do I have the sudden need to watch "Dirty Dancing"?

*is getting very glad he's not physically here at this point *

Didn't taupe kryponite turn out to be pink K with paint spilt on it?

Riddle me this: What does LoMB.S.V. mean?

And why does it sound so dastardly?

<dizzy spell>

Uh...

Hm. You know, I think it passed. I feel better suddenly...I think it went away!

I guess the Purple K's effect passed?

Either that or it was just gas!

What - again?!?

By the Bristling Beard of Whordru!

*Gulp* I’m a girl?

Is this body the female version of Cobalt Kid or something?

Looks like the Purple K has made me into a girl! Quick, assemble the LW scientists and mages! No one touch the Purple K! Who knows if Lou, EDE or matlock are effected?

(Hm…why the sudden urge to eat ice cream?)

Dontcha worry Cobie, I'll fix ya right up!

By Neptune's beard, by Poisedon's swirl, make Cobie no longer a girl!

Emmm... anyone want to get him some water?

No, that was beige K.
