When| The same time as "After These Messages"
Warnings/Notes| Plot has some really angsty stuff, mind control, character death. Please see ooc post.

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.

When the Legionnaires wake up that day, they'll find several things seem a little...unusual. They all wake up in the middle of surreal dreams, and when they wake up, they have ringing head aches that slowly fade as the morning goes on. Even Zenyatta experiences a strange nanosecond skip in his perceptions, and the occasional sensory glitch.

But the most glaring thing of all is the duty rosters that have been drawn up. Initially Kid Q had demanded the Legion have control over security, due to past UPgov infiltrations, betrayals, and Science Police incompetence. Their original orders had called for the team to handle the brunt of the most high-security.

But Kid Q calls them in to her temporary office in pairs and groups to give them new orders this morning. Brainy's seated next to her desk, omnicom in hand, looking as if he's perhaps helping her with tech security.

There are strange delays going on in the setup of the treaty agreements. The Legion keeps insisting to the delegations that they have things under control, but something seems to be making the Epryrians hesistant to cooperate.

It leaves the different Legionnaires with not much to do other than keep watch over the people who are willing to show up and settle in.

That's when everything starts to go off the rails.
