Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board Cobalt's Office of Security - the 80's Power Years

Ohmygod! I just got my like, HUNTING License!

Hey, somebody left an imposing ice sculture of Cobalt in the middle of the room.

(I note this because you don't normally see the words "imposing" and "Cobalt" together in a sentence.)

And it looks like we have the mother of all Lazer Tag contests in the works too. Oy.

Hun finds himself waist deep in a block of ice with polar boy strategically out of axe range.

Whoes you Daddy?

Hrun is unsure of the answer to that question as his mother never talks about the stranger who appeared and lived every so briefly with them until Hrun was two years old.

Looking down at the ice surrounding his waste, Hrun shrugs, flexes a muscle and the ice shatters. Dusting shards of ice from his barbarian loincloth, Hrun follows Everyday girl out of the security office.

shakes fist as Hrun leaves.

Bloody cobolt and his bloody open door policy

<'ports into his office>

Computer! <panting> Bring up all available footage from monitors around Lardy's Lair and airspace directly above it from time immediately before, during and after its destruction.

Acknowledged. Working...

I'm gonna find out exactly what it was they used to destroy my place!

<glares at computer screen as it works>

<hours later, Lard Lad is studying one particular still frame>

Hmmm...that looks like it might me a humanoid shape inside of that blur...but I can't be sure. My computer can't verify it. I need to take this image to someone with a superior computer. Hmmm...yes!

<downloads image into Omnicom and 'ports out of his office>

Cobalt, darling! It's Whordru, of course!

I was sorely disappointed when you never contacted me after I met with your bulbous, impotent friend.

Well, I'm here on Legion World now, currently at the Dark Oval Embassy, should you wish to address that oversight!

I'm sure the meeting would be worth your time. It could be quite...fruitful...for the both of us, I believe.

Ta-ta, darling!

[end message]

Hmmm the odds of Cobalt Kid getting himself a compromising situation resulting in mayhem just tightened up considerably.

Don't worry, Tamper Lad. I have no intention of letting Elvira get within 10 feet of Cobie unless I'm present.

I trust him, but her...

My Whee Fem,

I'll be quick: please be careful and stay away from the woman known as Whordru. She is extremely dangeruos. You and Jailbait Lass are not to go near her or risk your lives needlessly. My bodyguard, Arachne, will be watching you both throughout, and I'll have various holograms set up to ensure that you are not harmed.

I will contact Whordru on my own terms in the Dark Oval Embassy when the time is right, and you can pass that message along.

If anything goes wrong, please follow Matlock or Spellbinder.

- Cobalt Kid
Chief of Security

PS - Everytime Tamper Lad makes a comment about me, wink in his direction and smile. He's a sucker for a pretty face

<The Earth-4 party, including the SMBers arrives>
We're back. Most of the SMB were unavailable. We brought Infra-Red Lass, High Density Kid, Polka-Dot Lad, Openly Gay Lad and Rockhopper Lass with us. Funniest thing: When we arrived back here, "Reboot" informed us he was a temporary replicant that the real Reboot sent to help us. Then he disappeared.

You won't find them here, I'm afraid. They're all down at the rubble in the center of town--there's been a bombing.

Jailbait Lass and My Whee Fem went in search of Arachne and Matlock. They said they thought they were in danger.

Things have changed since you all went to Earth-4. I'm working with the LMB now, to battle off some mysterious threat trying to destroy the city.

I'll take you down there. Follow me through this gate, and we'll see about lending a hand with the destruction...

*from out of nowhere, a forcefield encases the Ranger and a voice is heard*

And if you believe that, I'll sell you this Security Office for five creds.

You'd be safer somewhere else. Oh, and you didn't recognise my voice.

*teleports the group to the Psyonian Embassy, and lets the forcefield disappate*

<incoming transmission from Lard Lad from Actor Lad's Admisistrative Offices>

We have a new lead on the bombing of the Lair. Please put an A.P.B. out on a humanoid male wearing a stylized red "S" symbol in the manner of the dead earth language "English" on his chest. Also, search databases for any such references because it sounds familiar. This individual is wanted for questioning regarding his presence at the Lair at the time of the bombing. Use caution, for he may be extremely dangerous!

<end transmission>

<'ports in his office>

*gasp*

What the hell was that all about? I know I don't get along too well with Actor and Reboot lately, but this is getting out of HAND! If my power hadn't kicked back in in time, I could've died!

I'm a deputized security officer! I might have to file charges against Actor...

Faraway’s hologram appears in the Security Office, the image is blurred and fuzzy and the sound is unclear.

“Alert, Alert…any security officers ……managed to get information on the attacker. Looks like a time distortion …..”

The image of Faraway fades before returning

“not sure how long I can keep this connection open, The faraway force is struggling here. ……… Here is …..image of………………be careful, not all that glistens is gold……….”

Faraway’s Image fades to be replaced by…

Polar does a little dance

<Dedman enters with the Space Ranger held at the end of a Space Blaster>

Cobie...COBIE!!!!! I caught the Space Ranger. He tried to kill me, and I saw him taking potshots at Hrun too.

Excellent work Deddy!

Be careful though. I'm starting to wonder if this Ranger's technology is more advanced than we've been led to believe. He hasn't been seen in days, and suddenly is captured? I feel this could be a trap.

You take point on this one, since you'll be able to survive what he has planned. Please try to keep Everyday Girl from him...for some reason everyone is trying to get to her, and I owe the first Space Ranger to make sure that never happens...

<bursts into the Security Office, destroying it bit by bit.>

<heat vision slices through security officers scrambling around>

<sees Dedman>

Ha.

<rips Dedman in half. Stamps on ground, destroying the room, as Polar Boy and Space Ranger of the Dark Oval fall out the side of the building>

<super breath on Jailbait Lass and My Whee Fem, blowing them out into the street>

<the Security Office collapses> moves on to Grand Central Space Port

<flies in, catching Polar Boy, Jailbait Lass and My Whee Fem>

Not again! Why does the Security Office always get destroyed...

<rubs side of face>

Ow...that bastard sucker-punched me and almost took my head off.

<Jailbait Lass looks on at Cobalt in horror, as Cobalt does not realize the extent of the horrible bruise on his face>

Hey, its okay Lolita. Now, where did he go? Polar, did you see? I'm going to see if I can cut him off in the skies over Legion World...

hours ago

<Watches on horrified. Shoots blaster at Superboy Prime but to no avail.>

I might not be the protagonist of this little tale, but Great Rao, thats not what I wanted...

<recalls seeing Dedman ripped in half>

Present time
It's time that I find an ally on this planet and figure out how to get myself out of this one...

And all those credits! $10,000,000 genarii...all down the drain...

hey, what the eff is going on here?

<dedman reforms from a cloud of darkness>

Man Alive!!! That hurt like the bejeepers!!!

<dedman sees SharkLad and proceeds to fill him in>
