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

Do you feel unsafe from this alien potentially following you? If so, I'm sure the Security Office can offer protection.

"Yes, I feel unsafe. He's a shape-shifter from the Shi'ar galaxy. He could be anyone and he has the Cosmic Cube which lets you do anything," Red Arrow replied.

"Is there anything else you need to know?" She asked.

We've dealt with shape-shifters before. Powerful ones, at that. Hm.

<points to Gladys>

This is Gladys. She's a sentient disco ball and our Executive Assistant here. Tell her as much about this alien and this "Cosmic Cube" as you know, and I will review them personally and ask any questions that come to mind.

I would interview you myself, but I have a lot of meetings to attend. When you are through, Gladys will show you to one of our guest rooms. You can stay as long as you like.

Sound good?

"Yes, sir." Red Arrow answered. She was grateful that this was not a dystopian future. At the very least she would not have to fear for her life.

Gladys asked, "Shall we begin?"

Red Arrow said, "Yes."

Gladys asked, "Name and rank."

Red Arrow replied, "Red Arrow Vice-President of The Thunderbolts."

Gladys repeated, "Name."

Red Arrow hesitated, "Emily Osborn, daughter of Senator Harry Osborn and Victoria Hand." That was her adoptive name and the only one she knew.

Gladys asked,"Who is the alien you encountered?"

"That is what I was investigating under the orders of Citizen V when I fell into this dimension," Red Arrow explained.

Gladys continued, "Why were you fighting this alien?"

"We recieved a tip from reserve member Seth Warlock to investigate. Of course we didn't take him seriously, but for once the conspiracy theorist was right!" Red Arrow said.

Gladys was intrigued, "Why did you not trust him?"

"Seth believes that alien gods control the Universe and he thinks humans should overthrow them and become gods. He also believes he is Adam Warlock's son," Red Arrow laughed.

The conversation continued in this vein for half and hour. She described the function of the Cosmic Cube and why it was important. Her description of Thanos as "A really evil guy that loves death" was the best this street-leveler could do. She entered the guest bedroom, fell into the bed, and fell asleep.

on it ... sprock, where's my jet pack?

<Watches Sharky fly off after Abin from his poolside seat. A glamour covers him and his assistants, who appear to be waitstaff, serving drinks to guests at the Security Office Pool.>

Carrie Ann, bring me a drink. I believe this location will suit my purposes nicely.

But that fool, Quank, will have to be dealt with swiftly. Arrange a meeting with Kent. Two million Credits to whoever gets Quank drunk.

Four million if he has an accident while he's drunk.

<walks out in his speedo, sits in the loungechair next to Zardi, though he doesn't know who it is>

Hey there, guy! Chief Taylor here. Who might you be?

<to Carrie Anne> Virgin strawberry daquiri here, please!

Hello Chief, My name be jose jimenenenez, I am how you say? a... traveler, no a tourist, thats it... a tourist!

I see your wonderful pool and your signs saying how security it is and I say to myself "jose jimenenenez" because that is who I am, "jose jimenenenez you should take a load off, or is it drop a load off? in that pool."

So here I am.

You maybe have a use for a multi-linguistical type tourist on your forces of security? I, myself have some need of income.

Well, we do have telepathic plugs for that. We could use a pool boy, though...

Okay, so would I, jose jimenenenez, in my capacatory as pool boy have to clean the remains of kangaroos out of the pool after your ladshark officer has his midnight lunch snack?

Or would I just change the filters and watch the interns adjust their bikinis?

We're working on Sharky getting his own separate pool for...feedings and what-not. In the meantime? A little of both.

Something else else off about this guy...maybe it's just his Latino hotness?

Hokay your Chiefness... I, jose jimenenenez, will accept you most generous offer to become the matre dios of the pool of security!

Virgin Sangria for everybody!

Ole!

<clinks glasses with 'Jose'>

Red Arrow was looking forward to going to the pool. She was wearing a purple bikinni. She noticed a new man with a funny outfit. Probably a magic user, Red Arrow thought as she laid a green towel over the chair.

"CANNONBALL!"

<avoids Dev's splash, walks over to Red Arrow>

Heya, Arrow! Nice bikini, there...

I hope you're enjoying your stay here. I looked over Gladys's notes. So far, no sign of the alien in our sweeps.

<Pokes head out of water.>

Hey Chief...who's the newbie?

<waves at Dev> She's a refugee from another dimension. Seems she's got a shape-shifter after her. Sounds right up your alley, Dev!

<Looks at Red Arrow.>

Don't worry, you're in the right place. Nobody will get a chance to hurt you here. Unless of course you're too close to The Chief here when someone tries to take him out again.

er...so how goes the Nyebif case, Dev?

Nothing unusual so far.

Gonna tail him again tomorrow.

Good, good...keep on it.

<whispers>

Say...does your Daxamite vision reveal anything unusual about our new pool boy Jose, over there?

Red Arrow did not understand some of the terms used. She was too confused naturally, being here only added to the conclusion. At least the settings were nice, and she could get along with these people. She asked, "Dev? Are you a Kree?"

No...nothing at all...

<whispers>

why the hell is Zardi here...and dressed like that?

<looks back to Red Arrow>

No. I'm half Durlan. A shape changing race. I have limited shape changing ability.
