Who| Those who signed up
What| The "Gone-Away World" plot
Where| The planet Tezeram
When| The same time as "The Ninth Gate" and "Total Eclipso"
Warnings/Notes| child endangerment

The Legion cruiser breaks apart upon entry to atmo. It just can't fight its way through the warped reality of the planet, through the willpower of the many criminals on Tezeram willing its destruction. But the Legionnaires own willpower and thoughts factor in, from the moment they're close enough to the planet to start influencing the "stuff" that makes up everything on Tezeram's surface.

So even though the ship rips apart, they don't die. Instead they find themselves down on the planet, separated into pairs that have to find their way towards the criminals behind all this, and find their way to each other. If they try to will the Legion cruiser back into being, they'll find it's impossible. They must defeat the criminals responsible for all this, and join together to will the cruiser back into being at the same time.

Bunny and America

[letsgolegion]

Bunny and America's starting place is a combination of things taken from their subconscious minds. It looks almost like The Warren, the place where Easter eggs go into production and get painted for the holiday, but instead of it happening with beautiful flowers and a whimsical dye river, America's influence has made everything cold and soul-less.

The eggs are rolled along on mechanical conveyor belts and are stamped with standardized Justice-department approved decorations: eagles, badges, and guns. Over the Warren, The Statue of Justice looms.

Cortana and North

The area they find themselves in is definitely a military setting. It looks like UNSC Command mashed together with the interior of the Mother of Invention, all metal bulkheads and command rooms and glowing viewscreens. But the place is only partly sketched out. Some of the hallways lead to nowhere, or taper off into foreboding darkness, as if they're a physical representation of the hidden secrets of both places, not meant to see the light of day.

Due to Cortana and Theta's influence, reality keeps unraveling and turning into streams of flowing data and then back to matter again.

Also, there's a random skateboard ramp. That's entirely Theta's doing.

Locus and Barry Allen

[letsgolegion]

Locus and Barry's starting point looks mostly like the heavily mechanized Capitol City of Chorus, Armonia, but Barry's influence is threaded into the nature of reality itself. Illusory soldiers of both the New Republic and the Federal Army of Chorus can be seen going about their daily business - but are frozen in place.

Actually, it's not that they're really frozen - careful examination shows that they're moving but their movements are so slow as to be barely noticeable, as if the Legionnaires are perceiving things so fast the rest of the world is at a standstill around them. In few places, random lightning arcs between buildings.
