Another more minor thing that I didn't make mention of last time but will here: Lee not being able to use "digital data transferor" & having to use the Galactibus to go to Parody Island. It's odd since I've clearly shown in past stories that Lee has used a very similar system with him going from the Legion's file room to Library a few times. But I'm not going to make a deal about since I kind of liked that Lee used the Galactibus. $\:\)$

I was trying to stop Lee gaining too much of a new super-power by being able to instantly teleport anywhere. Al B. has a similar problem with his machinery, but in his case I've established that setting the co-ordinates and powering up the jump gate engines can take a long time (so it can't be used as a quick save to whip him out of a villain's trap).

In Lee's case I'm guessing the Library's digital data transferers don't have that much delay (the IOL has access to lots of power and a vast database of co-ordinates), so thjere's got to be some other reason that stops the transported becoming a drama-killer. Likewise we've seen some people using their library tickets to transport to the moon and others travelling by spaceship or Galactibus. Fortunately, the byzantine IOL regulations are a great help in explaining this.

I guess we'll need to revisit this one sometime to offer some clarifications. Maybe Lee can use the digital transferers wghen he's going to his archive room on Parody Island to work there but not when it's a Legion action adventure? Or maybe the trnasferers can only be set to one location at once so when Lee's got them set replicating the lost scrollorium of Erebus V he can't break off and zap himself to Earth?
