Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board Cobalt's Office of Security - Post-Crisis

A large, extravagant lobby is seen immediately upon entrance, causing many visitors to wonder how in the world did the Office of Security afford such luxury? Various artwork, relics and artifacts are on display throughout the lobby, all of them from previous cases worked on by the Office of Security since Legion World’s official opening in 3003. None of them are dangerous, of course. Various administrative assistants await visitors to help them; only the those with clearance may enter the Security Officer’s floors—any other who do so have the most dire of problems.

A large plaque hangs above the entrance reading: <span style="font-size: 20px;"> The Office of Security, Legion World.</span>

What are the Duties of the Office of Security?: Guard Legion World from: external invasions from large forces or singular beings, internal threats from persons in the act of criminal behavior.

Note: This was once the third Office of Security Thread

• The original Security Office thread ran here from page 1 - 111.
• The second Office of Security thread ran here before returning to the original thread from pages 111 - 114, until it moved to the third location.
• The third Office of Security began with the traditional title of 'Cobalt's Office of Security, before becoming simply 'The Office of Security' here . The third Security Office then became the "Memorial for Fallen Security Officers" here in tribute to the many Security Officers who lost their lives defending Legion World from its various enemies.

Citizens of Legion World –

Long has Legion World been in a state of disarray and confusion. This new structure helps symbolize an end to that trend, and the beginning of a new era. I have returned to the Security Office as co-Chief of Security following the defeat of Phineas B. Fuddle, and the legendary Space Ranger, back from the dead, has returned as well as my co-Chief. We will restore the glory and effectiveness of the Security Office, and return it to its original grandeur to help combat threats both external and internal on Legion World. The streets will be safe, and the skies will be clear.

A new era is upon us with Lard Lad and cleome as the new LMBP Administration. In the past, the Security Office has both worked with the LMBP Leadership, and also provided a buffer between the leadership and the daily citizens of Legion World. These two functions shall be restored. You have our promise: we will do everything we can to keep Legion World safe, and would give up our lives to do so if need be.

Security Officers, you may have questions. I can confirm none of you have lost your posts. The structure of the Security Office remains relatively the same. Rather than name each security officer, I only present the upper-management and highest ranking officers.

New applicants for a Security Officer position are always welcome. We do still need to replace Frio, and per the long tradition of the Office of Security, Lard Lad has now been removed of his position because he is the LMBP Leader.

I’ll also need to discuss with Jailbait Lass what her status is these days…

***memo from the Office of the LMB Leader to Cobalt Kid***

I need to debrief you on some intel I've just found after your meeting with Ranger. You might want a stiff drink first. I've left my schedule open today--please meet with me ASAP!

-Lardy

***memo back to Lard Lad***

Not a problem Lardy, just let me know where you want to meet. Do you have an office set up? Or are you bringing it strait to the people? We can meet here if you like.

Lolita is with me in the streets, so I'm not sure who is handling my administrative stuff right now. I'll have to figure that out...

***end memo***

A new directive from the office of Triple G:

Agents of the Primary Color Gang and derivatives such as the Secondary Color Squad, the Orange Agents and the Green Extreme Team are now (when called to duty by ranking Security Officers) to act as deputized officers to keep the peace on Legion World.
This means each associate of the Super-Villain Costumes and Accessories Emporium will be required to adhere to a higher standard as will as the active members of the field teams.

The Emporium has offered it's services to the Security Office as a Research and Development department and will be supplying necessary tools, equipment and services as needed by Cobalt Kid's security teams.

All team members are still in my employ and there are no planned changes to benefits or retirement packages at this time. The exception to this is that time spent in the service of the Security Office will be compensated for and it's possible that extra benefits will acrue. Compensation packages are an internal matter for the S-VCaAE and will be negotiated with representation from all sides.

We here at the Emporium anticipate a fruitful and healthy relationship with the Security Officers.
Long Live the Legion!

***memo from the Office of the LMB Leader to Cobalt Kid***


I'm making The Lair my leadership HQ. I'll be there for a while the next couple days. Please come alone. I'm not asking you to keep anything from Ranger, but I'd prefer to talk about this one-on-one.

***end memo***

Bob, thanks for the continued support. We'll be definitely in need of the SVCAE's research into matters regarding time / space / parrallel universes / reality changes. I'm quite confident that attacks in this area will likely occur in Legion World's future, considering how often they have been used in the past.

***memo to Cobalt Kid and Space Ranger***

Please accept my congratulations and gratitude for the operations of all Security Office personnel during the recent crisis, and both of your leadership as well.

I am hopeful that therevitalized Security Office will remain an effective partner with the Bureau of External Affairs (tm) in promoting a just and peaceful Quadrant.

I must note that we seem to have a repeat occurance of Cobalt Kid being framed for various infractions. While of course his name repeatedly gets cleared, it does undermine stability. This repeated occurence even suggests that the enemies of Legion World find this to be our Achilles Heel - all one needs to do is tar Cobalt Kid and all our security protocols are thrown into chaos.

If my office can be of any assistance in remedying this situation, I would be delighted to discuss options.

Yours,

etc.

***end memo***

Well, removing myself from the Office was my way of getting around it and that didn't help. Is it time I hire another fulltime bodyguard? It was really Lardy that was framed though, I simply acted against the Security Office and high-ranking LMB leadership because I'd feared they'd been infiltrated--which they had been.

You were a good ally during the troubles, Kent, and I'm looking forward to continuing the good relationship our offices have.

Do I get a badge? I was promised a badge last time, but I never got one ...

We don't need no stinkin' badges.

I was just wondering how you'd look in a brand new spiffy orange battle armor augmented costume.

Is there room for my dorsal fin?

Well yeah.

I should get Bob to drop by and you guys can work up a design..how do you feel about blue?

Blue Shark Lad has a kind of ring to it, don't you think?

as long as I don't split into Blue SharkLad and Red SharkLad ...

Hey security people-

just wanted to make sure you guys are all aware of the floating castle that just popped into the skies above Legionopolis.

It's apparently owned/operated by a guy called Zardoz, who is running for election to be overlord of creation. Thus far, his giant carnivorous rabbit has attacked LardLad.

Huh... Wha... Oh it's you Kent. Damm I was beginning to think everyone had forgottten about us.

So this guy... Zarkoff... did you say? Siced a Giant Carnivorous Rabbit on Lardy?

Got any idea why?

He incited Lardy to attack him, yet Lardy could do no damage. So it was hardly in self-defense; Zardoz was in no danger from our fearless leader.

I should point out that I did advise Lardy to attack him, after all his grandiose claims. I felt we needed to test whether he was a legitimate threat, or merely an escapee from some lunatic asylum. It was really hard to tell - he genuinely seems to believe himself to be an immortal god-like being, yet rants like a dime-store loon.

Crap on a Stick! Lardy couldn't touch him? He's not a dime store loonie, that's for sure.

Now what did you say his name is? Zardoz? Zark-off? I need to be sure before I send out an APB for the Co-Chiefs.

his business card says, "Zardi, the Eternal Man."

hmmm... with a "NAME the ADJECTIVE Man" format, he sounds like he could be a leftover from the DC Explosion (Shade the Changing Man, Steel the Indestructible Man, Firestorm the Nuclear Man, etc).

He's probably just pissed because he never got his original 5-issue run in 1978, nor any Peter Milligan revival in recent years.

Maybe we can appease him with a team-up, as distasteful as that may be.

Hey, gang.

Anyhow, this Zardi fella definitely has some kinda mojo going for him. Can't tell if it's physical or magic-based. Given his get-up, I tend to think he's a magic wielder. My Lard Force has a certain kinship with magic, but I couldn't get a real feel for him to confirm or refute.

So far, he's mostly been a nuisance and a real jerk. He hasn't really done much other than to piss people off or just rub them the wrong way. He definitely claims that bigger things are to come, however.

Maybe we need to get a magic user to feel him out and see if that's his deal or not. We've been a little short of those lately, what with Stu, Maxx and Viv being absent. I'm not sure whether Pagan's on active duty right now since her return. Then, there's this MysticLuna lady--not sure what her deal is. Anyone I'm over looking?

Meanwhile, Zardi may be using my status as leader to sow some discontent, specifically the longer duration of my term as has been the trend lately. Should I go ahead and fire the elections back up, or should we wait and see what this cat's deal is? Downside could be that a new leader could be walking into a potential landmine here.

Thoughts?

hmmm... I do recall that strange, ethereal woman who aided us during the Phineas affair. What was her name?

MysticLuna is a good egg. But I'm not sure if she's up for a mission yet.

<wristband starts blinking>

Eh?

<looks at readout>

Proximity alert at the site of the original Lair?

<switches video feed on>

Her?

Kent...My...I'll be back soon.

<'ports out>

???
take your time. I'll be around.
