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

Sharky, we, er, wanted to make sure people felt comfortable...getting IN the pool... <grins>

jeez, one little 'bloodbath' and I'm blacklisted ...

Red Arrow shook each of their hands. She thought, That would be something if my parents were from this dimension. I like it so far, my only complaint (if it can be called a complaint) is that everyone is nice and friendly. The universe I've lived in felt more real. She asked Anthony, "Where exactly are we in the universe? Are we on Earth?"

Nah, Legion World's an artificial planet not far from Earth. And though the residents are nice and friendly, Legion World has it's fair share of enemies... <glares at 'Jose'> ...and, well, we have been known to have problems getting along at times. <glances over at Cobalt and grins>

Check out Lardy chatting up the new hottie.

<motions to Sharky>

Looks like we both came late to this pool party. I had some of the fellas at Cobie's cook up your favorite drink: rum & chum.

And now tell me what the latest is on Abin. He's gone knurd and is acting crazy.

<licks lips>

Thanks, buddy ...

Anyways, I lost track of Abin not too long after he blasted outta here ... I gotta talk to somebody about upgrading this jet pack ... it can't carry the weight of my dorsal fin ... but I digress ... I heard Abin mumbling something about a rendezvous with an old pal but then I lost him ...

Red Arrow commented, "I see...like Titan. It must have taken alot of work to build this place. What an accomplishment!"

It's an amazing place, Emily! First place I've ever felt truly at home.

and the food--

BURP!!!

ain't bad at all ...

As I said, it's not without danger, though. That's why we need this Office to protect it and keep it safe. We've had some VERY dire threats over the years, but the Security Office has always been there to protect it!

"I understand. Who did you assign to investigate my case?" She asked. "And maybe I can help you guys with this Abin fellow... his name seems familiar."

I've got agents looking into leads, but I'm going to be lead investigator on your case, I think.

Abin Quank isn't exactly a mystery. He's just a guy who's hurting really badly, right now. We want to make sure he's not hurting himself or others in the process of grieving. He wields a Green Lantern ring, which is an artifact of great power.

<Uses a glamour to get next to the Chief and Red Arrow without them noticing he is there.>

Yes, the Office of the Security has always been in the front of Legion World's defensive. And now I, jose jimenenenez, am the proudly newest member of the team of Security...

<Before either Chief Taylor or Red Arrow can react a spell is cast, both of them forget Dev-Em's revilation and are convinced that they have known this fellow, jose jimenenenez, for many years. The logic flaw in that escapes their notice, for now...>

<Flies in landing behind Chief Taylor>

Free food and booze? Good to see the traditions of the Security Office are being upheld Chief.

Is Gladys cooking? She knows just how I like My foot-long Chili, Cheese, & Sauerkraut Bratwurst's!

And that new pool guy just brought out a case of Michelob!

Later Chief... Nice to meet you Missy Arrowette!

Hey Ranger! When did you get here?

Think you could get Gladys to fix me a couple of those Brats?

For some reason she won't even acknowledge I'm in line...

Jose's been a good buddy of mine for years. You know him, too, Emily?

The Ranger over there was part of the former version of the Security Office. He was dead, too, for a while!

Pureheart, there...is a swell guy... <whispers to her> ...watch your back around that one!

<Zardi's spell can't affect a suspicion that Lardy's held for months, though it works regarding 'Jose'>

Emily replied, "Yes! He was a candidate for Sorceror Supreme." She added, "It's nice to meet you, Ranger."

Sorceror Supreme, eh? Jose, hombre, you are FULL of surprises!

So, Emily...since I'm in charge of your case, can you tell me anything else about this shape-shifter who's after you? His name isn't Angra Metternich, is it?

Greetings Security Officers! Tis pure joy I feel in my heart to see such great warriors enjoy happiness together!

This will be a great start to a new era of prosperity for Legion World!

<waves> Good to see you, Roy! Cobalt, have you heard that Roy is part of my Elite Guard?

<Works his way thru the growing crowd, glad-handing everyone and soon the illusion that they have known "jose jimenenenez" for years is firmly set in each partygoer's mind.>

<sees confusion on Arrow's face>

Sorry, Angra Metternich is the name of one of our biggest threats in recent years. He's a Durlan with great power even beyond the shape-shifting. He originally arrived as a supposed ambassador from a hostile power known as the Dark Oval.

It took a lot to defeat him, but he hid for a while and returned as one of the Five Faces of Death. At the end of that affair he was apparently destroyed. That doesn't mean there's not an alternate dimension version of him though. I always assumed Metternich used an assumed name.

There was also Madrox the Multiple Durlan. He's pretty powerful but was always more of a flunky type. I think he's locked up now. I'll double-check later.

"No, the alien is half-Kree, half-Skrull. Nrrev is a very sad story to say the least. I would feel sorry for him if he wasn't trying to enslave the galaxy." Red Arrow replied.

Hm. Dunno if we have any "Kree" or "Skrull" in our reality.

I wonder if you're from Earth-3? It sounds similar at least. We've documented 4 distinct realities thus far. Ours is Earth-1. Earth-2 has an analog to the LMB known as the Legion of Super Heroes.

Earth-4 is most similar to our reality with a lot of similar analogs to us. <grimaces> It's currently presumed destroyed.

Earth-3 is very dissimilar to ours, but we've documented an analog to our very own Nightcrawler having existed over there. Some of the names and races you've mentioned sound like ones we've heard of from there. However, it could just be a more similar reality to yours as Earth-4 was to ours.

I'll look into whether we have either of those races on our files. If we have genetic samples of either or both, that may help us trace whether or not this "Nrrev" is on Legion World.

<looks up from his drink and for only the briefest second, the entire playboy facade completely drops>

I hadn't heard. Interesting choice.

<Cobalt quickly carries on as if he hadn't heard it but Lardy and others certainly notice; Cobalt does not for even one second glance in the direction of Sir Roy>

"Who?" says one of the Franzz Twins.

No one.

<even after all these years, Cobalt has never forgiven Roy for his days as the Royal Inquisitor and killing Giant Squid>
