Subj: What does it encourage, exactly?

Reply Subj: Well, a frank and open dialogue is always encouraging...

    And there were a few fairly frank conversations in there...


When your job descrition is "agent of chaos" you're going to lead the Legion in certain directions.

    I'm reminded of the Cuban Missile Crisis film "13 Days" where every plan the military brought to the president lead to an obvious snowballing of the conflict.

    I always found it odd that they never considered themselves candidates to be the cooler heads that they were counting on to get them out of that mess. In any event, personalities don't seem to be heading into any cooler territories between the Legion and their new government overseer.


Don't worry, there's a protocol to deal with this. It's right there in the title of the chapter.

    Poor Garrick... I really didn't think he needed to worry that he'd lose his job because he wasn't enough of a hard-ass. Almost makes me feel sorry for the elephant dung thing. Almost.


He's an appointee of the previous administration.

    Fun stuff with Dream and Yuki... especially the latter's indignity at having to be the adult in the relationship. I also liked the tension within the team at the meeting, with Nats noting how nobody else got a say before every power on the planet was welcomed to the team.


The Yuki/Dream dialogue came almost entirely from an e-mail I sent Kirk back when we were corresponding over the CSFB! leadership issue.


    Quote:
    Not a bad roster that the government proposed, actually. I even had Jingo Bell on my list, until I looked her up in the Who's Who and read the bit by CSFB about her having no powers or skills, and being entirely a mascot rather than a crime-fighter. Kind of telling that the Gov. doesn't seem to think that's going to be any kind of problem for the role they see their Legion playing.


The first quality expected of an officer is integrity.


    Quote:
    Finally, poor Sally... She's got a raw deal, and now she's got trouble of a whole different level. Hopefully the new Z goes easy on the previous costume. I liked her even before I accidentally wore her...


Now we're really got to get that line of dialogue into continuity.

    Looking forward to the next bit!


I'm hoping to grab some time tomorrow to write it.
