<== pokes his head out of the lab; face charred and missing patches of hair; you can see skin regenerating...
Ok; update; good new and bad news.
Good news; we are no longer in danger and we are well on our way to total stablilzation; hurrah!
Bad news; we have drifted along the dimentional axis and I have not yet located where we are; uhm; still working; please shut down and not use all equipment and powers that do and could possibly cause excessive drift while I recalibrate or dimentional locator.
thank you for your support
<= head pops back in the lab
<= the lab doors open apparently on their own; an 18" mechanical robot walks out very shaken; it lurkes a few time "mechanical difficulties, please stand by, system failure eminant; sizzles, pop "secure all loose materials and buckle up; rotary station spin failure eminant"; screeching sounds then a final gasp of metal on metal; the glowing optical lights go out; the robot crashes to the ground in a heap; gears and wheels roll down the hallway.
<= you notice a change in station motion and pressure; a bit of yaw happens and the floor tilts about 16.4653 degrees off center and the spinning station slowly wobbles like a top running out of energy
<=the station intercomes come to life; "do not be alarmed" it is the voice of Brainac 5 but full of static and with some wierd yawling in the backgroud "all station systems reset in 5, 4, hold on, 2, 1;
All goes dark; it is eerie how the darkness is so complete; when mixed with the slow off kilter wobble and a creeping cold sensations as the station heater no longer maintain life support; well; things are tense.... no panel; no comes; no lights anywhere; backup system either have failed or have been shutdown.
I'm a talking shark. How do I join th' Legion?
nyuk...nyuk...nyuk....
Did any one comment about Chris Mortika having been a co-author of Mayfair Games "Legion of Superheroes Sourcebook" for the sadly defunct DC Heroes RPG? If you can find a copy, it is an amazing resource of all things "Legionaire".

Pick a Legionnaire to represent Heath and you can become multi-character for our roleplaying scenarios. Thought I wouldn't check the avatar huh?

As a matter of fact Chris was kind enough to lend me the 2995 Legion of Super-Heroes Sourcebook along with the DC Hero RPG so I could use them as references on my own Legion of Super-Heroes RPG that I'm working on. I've been using it quite a bit and will be trying to find a copy of my own on the internet so I can return Chris' within a reasonable amount of time.
The a hideous squeeling of stress put on the superstructure of the Legion headquarters echoes down the halls; suddenly all of the light come back on and the HQ stops wobbling and returns to its normal spin ratio; the inner and outer sheilds snap on and internal and external automatted defenses power up and begin firing at the intruders; a column of automated repair robots arrive and begin cleaning up the scene; and a medical robot stand by to assist Cosmic Boy; A Klaxon beging tolling calling all legionaires to assist.
Three heavy blast doors come down and seal off the lab and an active forcefield can be seen as well. Braniacs picture appears in all monitors:
Legionairs; we are under attack; 30 seconds till the release of anestitizing gas in all coridors and the autolock of all passageways; please take your legion pills and have your masterkey rings with you; the code of the day is 64plump42alpha-6 indexed third tier; somebody help the less apt members with their keys; thank you; other updates to follow.
Star boy; if you and Dream girl cannot stop your incipid gland games long enough to save Cosmic Boy from direct attack then either you will be kicked out of the legion or have your degenerate glands removed; so get out there and fight.
Lightning lass didnt take her pills and is now incapacitated on level three.
I am bringing a new series of intruder defense robot online; they should buy us some time, but they do not have the strength hold against foes of this caliber for long; I will don my battle armor after I have our reactor stablilized and have decreased out timeslip to an acceptable range; it 4.36734 seconds at my mark; Mark.
ALERT ALL LEGIONIERS; THIS IS NOT A DRILL; REPEAT THIS IS NOT A DRILL; REPEL BORDERS!
But I like that bookstore!

Intellectual superior, in a Pigs Eye, as the humans say; look behind you crEEp; your princess is targetting a preprogrammed holograph; did you really think I was so stupid to transmit such things on an open channel. Guess they dont have remote interface control where you come from yet barbarian.

PHIZZ! PHIZZ! PHIZZ! PHIZZ! PHIZZ! PHIZZ!
Brainiac fires his Photonic Gatling Cannon Mark II from the right arm of his Battlesuit Series B-IV and activates the left arm shield module.

Clearly I have failed to become a positive figure in your life. My apologize, I took it for granted you had started reading the latest series (lowers her head in shame). Perhaps I should buy 2 issues of everything and mail you a 648 pound package one day. You'll have to quit your job just to catch up on your reading. I could start a second job and send you the check so you have more time...would this help at all?
Ah well, continue on with Brainiac 5 as you do it so well. Perhaps I will start giving you short emails to catch you up on characterization of the Legion, Yes, No, Maybe next Year?
Time to either go to bed or watch Nurse Betty!

Fat chance of you knowing what it takes to make a real Legionaire you non hyperthreading substandard hunk of preanimate slime. I couldnt devolve down to your pre protoplamic consciousness if I had a Gigantus Overwatch Mark 7 Self Aware Megacomputer.
I would invite you to step up to play with the big boys; but since your only good at flapping your mouth; take this:

3.2.1.0 your turn! Nai Nai Nai Boo Boo!
the legion headquarters appears accross the time helix in comic age 1980 with Superman, Flash and Green Lantern fast approaching in; by facial expressions the appear confused not knowing who are good guys and who are villians.
Light Lass finally steps out of the bathroom and says
"Were not in Metropolis anymore!"
I wouldn't tell her that Heath, Light Lass wouldn't take lightly to the situation. Actaully I was surprised nobody noticed the (ahem) attempt at poor humor when she was in the bathroom and had passed out.
Reacting to the new threat, Validus hurls Cosmic Boy towards the earth. The limp body of the Legionnaire was unable to respond as the planetoid grew nearer and nearer. Saturn Girl's head throbbed from the return of her psychic blast, she was forced to take a moment to recover. Dream Girl's stomach lurched upwards as she reached the infirmary, horror struck her face as she realized that the Legion headquarters had been violated by the Fatal Five and that the building was falling. The vast headquarters plummeted towards the earth, threatening to crash into the great structures of 20th century earth. Light Lass, with her ability to nulify gravitational effects was the only Legionnaire capable to stopping the doomed headquarters funded by non other than R.J. Brande.
The members of the Justice League quickly formulized a plan to deal with the intruders.
Why is it that Superman did not recognize the Legion nor the Fatal Five? Being a member of the Legion in his younger days as Superboy, the mystery aches for resolve. Perhaps Valegrim or Heath can shed some answers to this mysterious phenomenon.
Out of the corner of his eye, a tear trickled down Mr. Haig's face....for he alone knew he was responsible for....
Could Paris Hilton play Light Lass in a Legion live action flick?
Is this a serious question?
IDK--kinda halfways'.
Ok, then I shall attempt to give you a serious answer.
I honestly haven't seen any of Paris' acting skill (I don't watch that many movies) so it would be unfair of me to say "No" because of this. I am not a big Paris fan and am really only aware of the media sensationalizm that seems to follow her. This in itself, makes me feel that she is not the best person for the role. Does she look like Light Lass, perhaps more like she was presented in the 1960's I'd say. You would have to work with the hair. Paris would also have to put some muscle on as well. Both of these challenges would be easy to overcome though. In regards to athleticsim, I don't know where Paris fits in. She doesn't look all that athletic so I think that there would be a body/stunt double involved. Light Lass in the 60's I thought came across as pretty lady like. In the modern version I would say that she is a little more "tough" but not incredibly so.
I haven't really read much in regards to the reboot versions, but it is my understanding that in one Legion version, Light Lass and Shrinking Violet develop a rather obvious intimiate relationship with one another.
I think Paris could pull of the right look, but if they ever did a Legion movie, I would really want to see a bunch of unknowns in the film. I watched a documentry on Superman the other day and in that it stated that for Superman Returns (the newest Superman movie) they casted an unknown because it is difficult to take a well known actor and see them realistically as a individual such as Superman. I agree with this. When one goes to the movie, you should be seening the character and not the actor. Thus I really think that casting Paris as Light Lass wouldn't be a good choice. Her celebrity status would overshadow her role.
And it needs Lucy Lawless in it. She's got first names and last names that start with the same letter. That's a plus.
I think the double "LL" must make her at least on honorary member, Lana Lang made it into the Honorary Legion. More importantly, I'm a Lucy Lawless fan, of coarse, the same could be said for Lucy Liu as well. Although at the moment, I can't think of anyone they could play either. Honestly, we would need to drop the age considerably. The Legionnaires were anywhere from 14-16 when they started, but when considering actual roles, i'd say shoot for the 16-19 age range. The only problem with the high end is it doesn't work for sequels and returning roles.
Ok Heath, I have a feeling you watch more movies and TV than I do, so who would you cast? If I don't recognize names (and I suspect most of the names you come up with I will not have heard of), I can always go on the internet and see who they are. Although I'm not completely sure if you read Legion or just like to visit, so if your not familiar with the characters I apologize for asking.
