Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board Varalent's Variable Villa

Well, I COULD, but it would need to be magnetically reinforced from within to be assured of holding...

Well, I can try. I'm pretty good at limericks myself.

There once was an Earth number 4
I visited it once before
It's home, you see,
Of the SMB,
So we read in Legion World lore.

<Rockhopper begins to fade, but sputters and comes back.>
Well, it was worth a try.

Perhaps there is a device you could fabricate to reinforce it. Or would you prefer that Cobie go along, just in case the rescue team gets trapped there?

Too bad the Cobalt of Earth-4 is long since dead...

Would I need to go to Earth-4, or could I do it from here? I'd prefer not to leave Legion World during this crisis. Of course, with Quis and Faraway both now stranded off Legion World, it'd be good to start getting them back, as well as reaching our SMB allies.

Maybe you won't need to go, Cobie. Openly Gay Lad, that's my, ah, friend there has a sort of reality-warping power that he used to use to be Closeted Boy. He might be able to help get us back.

My hands are tied and . . . oh wait, wrong thread. Carry on.

Well, let me put it like this - you wouldn't strictly need to go, but if you didn't it would be a "tell them to be in this place at this time" dealio with you waiting at this end so that the portal could be opened to get them back, and we all know how often they go right...

<aside to Cobalt>

I've decided to go to Whordru's world and try to enlist her aid. As Kent said, I'll need to make this an "unofficial" visit. Anf if I persuade her, the alliance will be "unofficial" as well.

I'll need you to cover for me as my absence may be construed as flight from possibly facing charges. That's also why it's important that you don't accompany me, should my absence be discovered.

In any case no restriction has been placed on my comings or goings as yet. I'll leave before the day is over.

<end aside>

Well, however we get to Earth 4 and however we get back, count me in. Quis is my friend, and, I sorta know the place.

(Polar boy sits and watches, scratches his butt and watches some more, he then reaches a conclusion this villa looks a lot bigger on the inside then you think it will)

We'll be looking to the ambassadors among us (Vee, Crujeckie, Connie, Rockhopper) to tackle the Ambassador Metternich problem. Diplomacy, of course, is the best avenue, but I'm partially convinced that we're already way past that. Follow Actor Lad and Kent Shakespeare's leads, but it'll be good to approach him in a variety of different ways.

Deddy and Rockhopper can lead the away mission to Earth-4 once we've gotten that set-up. Whoever you guy think you need, go for it. I don't think Kent would want to go on this mission, as he'll be needed here.

I plan on staying on Legion World in case things get rough. As always, we must refer to Actor Lad and Kent, but we should stay prepared.

I'll do what I can diplomatically before we leave the E4 mission. I suppose I should make an appearance before Ambassador Metternich. Let me know when we're ready to leave and I'll be there.

Guys, don't let Metternich's "evidence" sway you...I didn't kill anybody. There are countless ways those vids could've been faked! Just stay the course--it's all a smoke screen for their true goals!

<aside to Cobalt>

Crap! I thought all that magnetic interference you were creating would've disrupted any recording devices! Crap!

We'll just have to stay the course and stick to our story...

<end aside>

OK rockhopper, we need to decide who to take with us. We obviously need Reboot to get there. Should we risk anyone else?

<Crujectra watches Cobalt Kid and Lardlad, a look of sadness on her face>

I only refer to Actor Lad and Kent when I use footnotes. However because they are the Legion World leaders, I will defer to their judgment.

Hmm. I don't think any of the team I went with before would be available. Do we have any volunteers for Earth-4?

I could swear that I just heard Quislet's voice, even though he is currently on Earth 4!

Is it possible that Earth 4 and Legion World occupy the same space, although at different vibrational frequencies?

Spooky!

<squeezes her hand. For a brief moment, genuine pain is seen on Cobalt Kid's face. Cobalt purposely does not let Lardy see it.>

A figure shimmers into view.

“Vee, old friend I know of your offer to act as ambassador, many thanks as I am still stuck here at the end of time with many many others. I have found a way to communicate through the Time Mouse Trapper's Cheese curtain of time but it means bouncing a signal off the St Malo, via the Leerdammer and through a particularly tough bit of Cheddar. It looks like the time delay in communication is about 5 to 6 hours but I’ll try to do my best to help and advise.”

The image of Faraway ducks as a large explosion if heard. “damn it the fly boys are early today, they normally bomb at noon”



As the sound of warfare continues so does Faraway.

“Vee! You have got to arrange a formal diplomatic reception for Ambassador Metternich. Put on all the finery of Legion World and if you can persuade Spellbinder to put her sorrow behind her and really shine at the reception, well, whilst everyone is watching her in all her glamour, you can start to discuss things with the ambassador.

Its been quiet today. I assume this means Vee, Kent & Actor are engaged in further debate with the Ambassador.

In the meantime, I think we should proceed with the mission to Earth-4. B/t Reboot and my magnetism, not to mention Rockhopper's understanding of limerick technology, I think there's a way. Despite Reboot and myself having differences, we can both agree that the communiation b/t us and Earth-4 should remain open. Rockhopper and Dedman will take point on this mission and report back upon finding Quis.

I'd suggest sending people out to find Faraway, but its close to impossible to get there and we need everyone here on Legion World. I do, however, have an old LMB protocol in dealing with the Time Mouse Trapper that might help. I'd just need a volunteer...either way, it'll take a few days to get that up and running.

no volunteers? well Rockhopper, old chum, looks like its just us.

Now lets find reboot and get out of here.

Sorry I haven't been around much to play the last few days but I've been very concerned about Connie. She hasn't been acting normal at all...constantly crying and staying in close proximity, as if she was scared of something.

This morning, she didn't come to eat when I put down her plate for breakfast but she appeared to still be asleep on the couch so I thought nothing of it and went off to work.

Came home from work tonight and she has taken a dramatic turn for the worse. I'm going now to take her to the emergency pet clinic but I've had many cats over the years and I've seen the way she looks now before...saddly I don't believe she will still be with me after tonight.

So why stop to post this message? Seems very odd but I really needed to let LW know that I and it may be losing my precious companion of almost 10 years and one of the fiercest defenders of LW.

I'll keep you posted.
