Epryria and the UP have had contact for quite some time now, but it took new of the threat of Chronoblivion to finally push the world into joining the United Planets for safety in numbers.

The UP government has had its eye on Epryria for some time now, thanks to its thriving scientific community. The planet's advances in bioengineering even surpass that of the Coluans' in some respects. It's a large part of why why most of the population is sporting different cybernetic implants. The Legionnaires have found that to be something of a hurdle in acting as diplomats for the mission. Half of Epryrian communication takes places nonverbally, due to the sharing of words and images through implants.

Since the team is largely there as extra security and only the most experienced Legionnaires are being expected to help the UP ambassadors with actual diplomacy, Brainiac 5 and Kid Quantum were the ones that had opted to temporarily have optical and cortical implants put in.

There's one day left before the actual signing of the treaty, which is to happen in front of a crowded hall of government officials and special guests.

"You can go ahead and move into position now. We'll contact you as the situation developed," Kid Q says without missing a beat.

But Brainy just...stares at Zenyatta after he mentions the problem with his systems, and then he looks away, as if getting back to work.

Well that's a clear dismissal if he's ever heard one.

"Yes, Ma'am," Rico drawls sardonically as he salutes. "I'll be awaiting my new orders."

Zenyatta notes the look that Brainiac gives him, but he doesn't draw attention to it. He trusts that if it was a major issue, Brainiac would have said something and pulled him from the mission.

"I understand. Let us depart."

Time to make their way into the crowd, then. It's a little more close and personal than he prefers, but this isn't a matter of preference. It's getting the job done.

Though he's curious about their replacements, and why the last minute change of plans. Something about this isn't setting right, though there's nothing he can call attention to.

Time will tell.
