Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board The Office of Security (out with the Lardy, in with the Dev)

I'd like that very much. Thank you Chief. I think it would be good to have a few redshirts following me around for my protection.

When the Elite Guardsman you assign the case to comes around, you can tell him I'll be at one of the establishments with the best looking girls.

(Politics does have its benefits, eh, Chief?)

<turning to Space Ranger>

As for you, I hope you take a long trip off a short pier!

Good day Sirs!

<exits>

<Grabs Nyebif before he can turn away>

Might be true, Nyebif, but from where I stand you Venturans have a whole new definition of slimey...

Where do you get your cigars Nyebif? Does your dealer carry any other tobacco products?


Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(This private dick stuff is fun...)

Quank, Ranger---What the Hell's going on here?

Get off me Ranger! You know I've always been upfront with Space Rangers! Bailed me out that time those yellow ring Lanterns came looking for

I get the tobacco from all over! There's no way I can recall every single dealer. Check my casino and ask one of the staff for a list of dealers.

<exits quickly>

Just Ranger Chief, but you can call me Bart if you like...

Pagan Lass was killed by her addiction to Earth Cigarettes.

Cigarettes have been illegal for centuries but someone has been bringing them into Legion World.

We just want to know who that someone is...


Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(And maybe have a short talk with them)

Hm. Yes, Cobie and I cleaned up a lot during my term, but the illegal tobacco black market has been something else. I know Exnihil ran a tobacco shop a while back, but his particular blends were deemed safe and of legal varieties. I tried to contact him (her?) recently, but Ex's offworld on vacation. Ex might be a good one to talk to when he/she returns.

Oh...I'm in. I've decided I like the side of good...but the attitude is gonna be a little different from now on.

There's a big difference between the stuff Ex sold and the black market stuff Pagan smoked. The stuff she used was loaded with additives to make it more addicting, and at the same time more deadly to the user.


Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(I want... No I need to find this person before Abin does.)

Good to have confirmation, old buddy! Do you want this Nyebif case, Dev? This Venturan is an ass, but he's an important one. Seems your shape-changing powers might help you follow him and snoop around to see if his life's really in danger.

He's currently at Cobie's Midnight Lounge. Want the case?

Yes, I understand the difference completely, Bart. Ex didn't sell that shit, but he may have info on who does. Otherwise, I've got nothin'.

You might want to double-check with Cobie, too...maybe he built up some files while you were, er, dead.

Seems to me you've been dead a time or three yourself Chief. And for the record, I never died, but if Cobie hadn't followed a wild hunch I would have.


Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(And it was just a little too close for comfort)

Just once, actually...not counting the near-death experience of being shot in the head!

In any case you were out of action a long time, and I'm sure Cobie gathered up all kinds of intel while you were gone. He may even have some that he never got around to ever finding out what exactly they meant in the larger scheme.

He was never as detail-oriented as yourself or Matlock. And Matlock has been mostly absent himself in recent years.

It's just a hunch, but one that may be worth investigating.

On it.

While yer at it, Dev, keep an ear out. The attacks on us a few months ago are still unsolved, and there may be info out there to be had...

So now that you have the new place Chief, when are you going to have the house warming BBQ? You've got the pool for it.

If you guys want to use the pool, I have to, uh, clean a couple people, I mean, things out if it ...

<splash>

<Abin flies in and looks at the pool.>

Kangaroos???


<Three steps take him to the entrance to the Chief's Office.>

Hi Gladys... Is the Chief in?

Gladys, I need...

Oh, Abin! Nice to see you looking so...sober...er, well. Somethin' I can do for ya? I'm kinda in the middle of planning a barbecue, but I always have time for you.

<Abin stares hard at Chief Taylor for a few seconds, then blinks and shakes his head.>

Lardy... Chief... I don't... There's something in the background... something that was once part of you and could be part of you again. You just have to need it bad enough... You have to hit bottom and lose all hope before it will come back!

Yee Gods! I can't do this! I look at you and I know the truth! But it's not the truth I'm looking for!

You didn't do it! Cobalt didn't do it! But somebody did!

<A green glow surrounds Abin and he flies off>

I WILL find that SOMEONE!

.....

Gods, I thought he was sober? He's either drunk off his ass to the point of appearing sober--or he's just losing it!

Either way, it's dangerous for someone in his state to have that ring!

<takes out Omnicom>

Chief Taylor to Shark Lad...stay on Abin. If he so much as jaywalks, I want you to bring him in! Taylor out.

Red Arrow was searching for a place of safety. She was chasing a would be conqueror with a Cosmic Cube when she landed in this reality. Red Arrow had been running non-stop ever since she came. She didn't trust anyone in this reality...what if this is one of those timelines where giant robots will try to kill you?

She had been born in one universe,lived in another, and now she was here. Red Arrow decided to take her chances and enter the Security Office.

<looks up, having just closed his Omnicom>

Hm? May I help you, young lady?

Red Arrow said, "I am Red Arrow of the Thunderbolts. I was chasing a dangerous alien with a Cosmic Cube. He must have created a rip in the time and space continum and now I am here. Where am I?"

Well, you wouldn't be the first refugee from another reality to our world...not by far! This is Legion World, a world where everyone is welcome.

Do you need assistance getting back where you came from?

Red Arrow sighed, "I am...it's complicated. It might be best if I stay here for a while to make sure the alien did not follow me."

She was surprised at the warm welcome, "Really? Wow, when I showed at Thunderbolt Mountain everyone thought I was an intruder. I won my membership by defeating Mockingbird." As much as she hated to admit it, she missed Steve Barton.
