RESISTANCE IS FUTILE - [modplot/log catchall]
Who| Everyone who signed up
What| "Resistance is Futile" plot catchall
Where| All over the place, but mostly Colu
When| After the network briefings and deployment.
Warnings/Notes| cw: zombies, body transformation (probably). If your subthread has something triggery pop up, put it in a subject of the one of the comments.
The entire planet Colu is a sprawling urban mess, one of the worst environments to fight zombies. Yes, the cities are clean and impressive and yes they're meticulously planned, but they're planned for elegance, efficiency, and ease of transportation -- not defense. While Colu had suffered under the yoke of various oppressors in the past, that was over a millenia ago, and they've grown complacent, thinking their world untouchable due to their technological superiority.
Now they're paying for it. Robo-zombies swarm through the various mega-cities, spreading their disease by touching or wounding their prey. Due to the many walkways, hover-lift tubes, maintenance tunnels, and sewer systems, there seems to be no way of stopping them.
When the Legion first arrives, it seems hopeless. The Coluan Home Defense Forces aren't used to combat and are struggling to set up defensive zones. But then something unexpected happens.
Pods drop in all over Colu from orbit. The CHDF regard them with suspicion and disdain, but they have their orders, and the civilians regard them with fear, despite word starting to spread about who's come to help.
Kid Q's voice comes over the comms and while it's hard to hear it through the crackling, she sounds absolutely delighted.
"Look alive, folks, we just got a miracle. It took some negotiating with the CHDF, but they finally relented on accepting some help from others beyond us."
The pods all burst open and Robotican combat mechs start rolling and marching out, spreading out over all of Colu.
"The Roboticans haven't been able to translate it to a cure because the virus was meant to interact with them differently than organics, but due to their disaster preparedness, they were able to develop a block to the Brainiacs' virus and only suffered a few casualties. Robotican leadership says they're eager to have their chance to make reparations to organics by defending them from this threat -- and that they're honored to stand with the Legion."
It's not a magic fix. It'll still be a deadly struggle. But at least they've got more than the inexperienced CHDF at their backs.
"Let's make the most of it, Legionnaires."
[ooc: This will be used as a plot catchall, but you can make your own log posts in Legion Missions set in the plot if you like. All major plot parts on Colu will be set up here, with "The Reject Pile" part set in the Legion World comm (with an accompanying network post). That said, if you'd like to set individual plot threads on Legion World, you can also start your own Legion World posts inlegionworld.]

She's equal parts terrified and irritated, and some small little piece of her appreciates the chance to snap at him instead of think of the greater things at hand. However, with robo-zombies on the loose and him not at all trustworthy, she snaps her hand and it starts to glow red, sputtering like a flare, and then she tosses the spectral rod out into the middle of the room. It continues to his and spit, and then erupts in a large bout of flames and flashes blue; flames rising and eventually solidifying into the fully-grown form of Rexy, the Tyrannosaurus Rex. She's glowing blue, very faintly translucent, but solid enough as she takes a step and chuffs, sniffing the air and pulling her massive head left and right.
Claire waves to get her attention,
"Rexy! Rexy, here. Uh," She's hesitant, as always when Rexy focuses her attention down, those giant teeth and that huge jaw still too close for comfort. Claire points back at the door they came out of. "Go watch that door." She points again for emphasis; eyesight based on movement, gotta get her order across.
Rexy steps off towards the indicated direction, and Claire sighs, taking out another explosive and looking for a good place to affix it.

He freezes, takes a running dive towards cover and goes into full threat mode, already hatching a somewhat risky plan involving a hurled charge and a bullet intersecting paths. Those giant dagger teeth look threatening enough. Translucent - how solid is it? Can it go through walls?
But it focuses down on Claire instead, and Rico has a half-second of hope that it goes and eats her first. But unfortunately not. He watches it trundle off with a hard frown, standing up abruptly and striding towards Claire feeling like a fool, masking the sudden race in his heartbeat by the influx of adrenaline. Not that he would ever show it.
"Director." He grinds out, jabbing a finger in the same direction Claire just did. How the hell did something like that come out of a pencil-pusher? "What is that?"
no subject
Of course, Rexy is a pretty fearsome sight. Claire herself isn't entirely comfortable with the idea that she's somewhat in charge of her. But, everything she's seen and heard from Rico it's definitely pleasant to see him less than amused.
Which is why she crosses her arms and tilts her hips as he addresses her.
"Oh, I've been calling her 'Rexy'. Good friend of mine. Keeps me safe."
no subject
"Well if that dumb animal follows orders like it's owner, I'm not holding out much hope for that," he sneers. "Get back to work, Director. You've delayed us long enough anyway."
And as a barked afterthought as he turns away: "And keep that thing on a leash!"
no subject
She sticks an explosive down with a little grin, and then turns to Rexy and says just loud enough; "Okay, Rexy, don't eat the angry judge, alright? Good girl." The dinosaur swings its head back in her direction and tilts it curiously, then huffs and goes back to watching the doors behind them.
