Generation Legacy Issue #15

The English book is the Bible. Ignatius replies, “The Doctor takes care of me. I cannot exist in normal society looking the way I do. I tried once. They tried to use me; make me perform my tricks for them. Study me.”

“But the Doctor made them stop. The Doctor made it better and brings me books to read. The Doctor brought me here and told me that I would never have to worry about being used again. I make things for the Doctor, to help the Doctor. I am not dumb, I look dumb, but I am not dumb,” Ignatius replies.

"I never assumed that you were stupid. After all, you've got 3 different languages there." She says as she cntinues to sip her tea. "And as my foster father would say, 'anyone who can make a good cup of tea has to be civilized'" she smiles as she considers where she is in the position of things. "And who is the Doctor?"

Clover watches the group intently, listening as Tina advocates a wave of assassinations, she looked to see the reactions while thinking about herself. Setting aside the killing part of the plan since the UN were the good guys, and had to be seen as the good guys especially at the moment, the idea of striking at specific Pantheon members wasn't a bad one, use localied overwhelming force to deny those agents to Pantheon would certainly be a good thing if they had a way to locate the bad guys. It'd also be a good sourceof intel on future Pantheon operations, and with Telepaths getting the information out of the terrorists would be fairly simple, it was at least a good rough outline of a plan. On the other hand she had the sinking feeling that Tina from her brief observation of her was a hot head who might jump in without actually thinking her way through things.

"Killing Pantheon agents would be counter productive when you have telepaths to pick their brains." the British red head comments, she didn't sound like she was objeting on moral reasons but more on practical ones. "If you could get that Traveler kid's help you could pop in with a bunch of elites subdue the target and return in short order. It'd be a pretty good plan with enough resources." she says nodding to the other girl. "I'm Clover."

Ryan laughs at Tina's comment, then sobers. "I think things are already more than a little out of hand. But from what we've seen, Cardinal's hit all the cities she's planned to...I mean, with an operation so perfectly executed, why attack a few hours after your initial strikes, when you've lost the element of surprise? And I'd also guess that any kind of public front for Pantheon would be pretty damn expendable."

"I was actually thinking we could go after some of our enemies who probably aren't expecting a counterattack, especially in the wake of the bombings. Let's not forget that we still have that jackass Proxy breathing down our neck. But when we get the right chance, we will make Pantheon pay."

As long as it doesn't jeopardize our fight against Overseer.

 

[Hammerhead]

Who is this? One of the elites we picked up in the wreckage of the city? Wait...Clover? Were her parents hippies?

"James was kidnapped during the attack, and he was near death before that. Umm...I don't think we've seen you around here before. Were you in the city or something? I'm Ryan, by the way."

Who is this? One of the elites we picked up in the wreckage of the city? Wait...Clover? Were her parents hippies?

"James was kidnapped during the attack, and he was near death before that. Umm...I don't think we've seen you around here before. Were you in the city or something? I'm Ryan, by the way."

“Who the hell are you?” Tina asks, “why don’t you go back over threw with stick girl and stay out of our business; I don’t know you and I sure as hell am not going to take advice from some stranger who thinks they know what is what.”

She then turns back to Ryan, “So wait your plan is to not go after Pantheon?”

Cassie

“I told you who the Doctor was, did you not understand or was my wording incorrect?
Reading is not difficult, understanding what you read is,” Ignatius replies.

Ignatius prepares a hearty yet earthy meal, he prepares three plates. He takes a seat, a portal opens behind him and a woman steps through wearing jeans and a t-shirt. But the face is unmistakable… the cold eyes. Or they were cold the last time she saw them, but they are vibrant with life as the Cardinal greets Ignatius.

Ignatius smiles, “Doctor, thank you for coming, I made you a meal will you eat with us?”

Cardinal nods, “Of course Ignatius. Cassandra, will you eat at our table?”

Cassie

"Why should I eat with you?" Cassie says, her anger at Chance's manipulation building. "I asked for peace, and you divided the world more than any living human since Adolf Hitler. Exactly what we didn't need. And then there was .. Kelly. Why did you kill her?" She sits down despite herself, best to bide her time and strike at a moment when victory was more easily assured.

 

[Shalimar]

"No, I wasn't in the City, I was here at the school during the attack. I'd just arrived, I'm going to be signing on with the UN forces when I turn 18 in a few months, and I wanted to have the Institute sign off on my powers first. Maybe join Legacy if thats where the UN thought I could best serve." Clover said, letting her accent strengthen a bit so they could tell she was Englsh.

"My parents are both with the UN so its never been much of a question that me and my brother would join up. My father is a Colonel, and me mum is an ambassador. He's been teaching me and my brother what we'd need to know if we wanted to follow in his foot steps self-defense, teamwork, and tactics since we were little." she offered with a bit of a grin.

Tina's rudeness confirmed to Clover her earlier assessment of the girl, though she did raise an eyebrow at the whole stick girl thing. "I do well enough with gathering information." she says calmly shrugging at the hot head

Sami barely registers a nod, “They told me I should hang out here away from the baselines, just in case people might get violent,” his eyes slowly shift looking like that of a predator and the air about him gives off the feeling of a predator, but worse. His eyes quickly go back, “I feel different now.”

He puts his hand slowly to her chin, “You look beautiful.”

Anika smiles. "Well, you should be hanging out with me anyway. I like being told I'm beautiful," she quips. "I'm glad you're okay and...this elite thing isn't so bad. Looks like you might need some practice with it, but it gets easier as it goes." She continues to smile, but she felt sorry for him. Her power took some practice and study, but it wasn't difficult to control. She wasn't sure what that was like, but she knew it probably wasn't much fun.

Her smile tightens as her expression turns more serious. "I don't know what to do. I feel useless just sitting here, but what can we do? The obvious thing would be to take the fight to Cardinal, but I had a vision a while ago that showed Overseer getting what he wants while we fight with Pantheon." She stops and shakes her head. "Sorry, I don't need to pile Legacy problems on you, too. I'm sure Paragon will have something for us soon. Though part of me wishes I could just stay here with you." She puts her arm around his waist and leans her head on his shoulder, sighing.

SARAH replies, “Hi Gilden, yes I am back online now thanks to Gadget, how may I assist you?”

"Contact Anika and Mark as well as Paragon, if he is unavaliable then Jun Min instead. Tell them that I need to talk to them in private, right now. It is extreemly important."

"Oh," He says after a moment, "tell Gagdet hello and ask her is she is avaliable if she would like to have a bite to eat later."

 

[Samnell]

“He was scared Mark, humans get scared. When they are afraid from my observations they don’t see things the way they should. They want to blame someone else for what is happening to them, they want to have a target. Being a public figure you should be used to that by… well I guess in your case you don’t see much negative press. Do you think other people will think like him… and say that this was somehow your fault? That does not sound logical to me, the UNJE is doing everything they can to make this right,” Star replies.

"People aren't always logical," Mark sighed. "And something like this could really screw you up. You're right. I'm not used to it. People like me. They want to be around me. They want to give me money to use their stuff. I don't like this. I'm supposed to be the hero, right? Not the guy people blame for being too slow."
