On Braal, sports star Rokk Krinn holds a press conference and then is 
rushed to the shuttle to Earth by his agent. On the shuttle to Earth, Garth 
boards and finds a seat next to Rokk, who had gotten on previously, at 
Braal. The two then look in awe at their fellow passenger, R. J. Brande, 
the tycoon who invented Stargates and who is the driving force behind the 
United Planets, the peacekeeping confederation that was still in the 
process of being formed. The ship then lands on Titan, where Science Police 
trainee Imra Ardeen gets on. Garth fantasizes about her, and then realizes 
that she was able to read his mind and is embarrassed about it. When the 
shuttle reaches Earth, Imra points out some people dressed as maintenance 
workers and declares that they are actually assassins who intend to kill 
Brande. Garth and Rokk stop them and then capture them. The three go their 
seperate ways and Brande, lost in thought, is met by his business partner 
and asstant (Luorno Duorgo). Later, R. J. Brande convinces the President of 
the U. P. that the U. P. needs a living, visible symbol of interplanetary 
cooperation to rally around in order to succeed, and she listens to his 
ideas. The following day, Imra, frustrated with the menial tasks she is 
given as a rookie, accepts an invitation from R. J. Brande's assistant, as 
do Rokk, who is busy training for a sports exhibition, and Garth, who is 
being taunted by toughs in a jail. They all meet in the anterroom to 
Brande's office, where Imra tells Rokk that his agent is embezzling his 
money. When the agent threatens Imra, Garth rushes to defend her, to her 
surprise. Rokk then fires his agent, and the three are summoned into 
Brande's office, which is completely dark. The three youths see images of 
famous twentieth-century super-heroes appear one by one before their eyes, 
and, when Rokk laments the lack of heroes in recent times, R. J. turns on 
the lights and suggests that the three of them can change that. He explains 
that the U. P. needs a visible symbol of interplanetary cooperation, and 
that the three of them, acting as costumes super-heroes, could fill that 
need. The three of them agree to try it out and form the Legion of 
Super-Heroes, taking the code-names Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl and Live Wire, 
respectively.

The Legionnaires, in their early days, went out amongst the people so that 
the cameras would see them together as a team in places that interspecies 
cooperation could be noticeably inspired. During one of these stops, at a 
zoo, they found themselves in the position of having to work together to 
save lives from animals that were freed by Grimbor the Chainsman, who had 
been hired by R. J.'s partner Roderick Doyle to create chaos that would 
discourage the concept of keeping different species together. The three 
Legionnaires, working together, manage to knock out Grimbor and safely 
re-cage the animals.

Garth Ranzz, Imra Ardeen and Rokk Krinn watch promotional material billing 
them, respectively, as Live Wire, Saturn Girl and Cosmic Boy, the Legion of 
Super-Heroes. R. J. Brande's assistant Marla Latham then delivers their 
uniforms, which they would wear to the next meeting of the United Planets 
council. Elsewhere, Roderick Doyle plots to plant a bomb at the Council 
meeting, destroying Brande, the Legion, and any realistic hope for 
interplanetary cooperation. Later, Tinya Wazzo delivers some documents to 
her mother, a U. P. delegate, using her inborn powers to walk through the 
U. P. symbol globe as a shortcut and noticing that an extra ball with wires 
is on the globe. U. P. President Chu introduces the Legion to the other 
delegates, and the delegates resist the idea of endowing teenagers with 
police powers and diplomatic status. While the delegates are debating the 
matter of approving the Legion, Saturn Girl discovers tension in the room, 
and scans the mind of all present, discovering Tinya's knowledge of a bomb 
hidden on the U. P. globe. She accidentally lets this fact slip from her 
mouth, creating a panic in the room. Cosmic Boy and Live Wire get the bomb 
out of the council chamber, allowing it to explode harmlessly. This act 
causes debris to fall in the room, and R. J. Brande's assistant Luornu 
Durgo, using her inborn powwer to split into three people, saves Brande and 
the president from falling debris. The Legionnaires then chase after the 
bombers, who Saturn Girl identifies by their thoughts. The two bombers have 
split up and hidden, but some help from Tinya reveals the location of one 
of them, enabling the Legion to capture them. The Legionnaires then search 
nearby buildings for the second one, and Tinya saves the Legion from that 
one as well, who was about to shoot Live Wire and Saturn Girl. The 
following day, the Legion, with Tinya and Luornu as new members, using the 
code names Apparition and Triad, is introduced to a crowd as the U. P.'s 
new representatives. Brande and the President then discuss the Legion's 
future, and the President decides to send the Legion on a high-profile 
mission so the Legion and the U. P. will be noticed. She sends notices to 
the governments of six planets, which in turn inform young beings that they 
have been drafted to serve as their planet's representative in the Legion.

Live Wire and Cosmic Boy enjoy a workout until they are interrupted by the 
female Legionnaires. The Legionaires then leave for a meeting at United 
Planets headquarters, and see, to their surprise, a number of other youths 
wearing generic Legion uniforms. They remain hidden as they watch the two 
young men introduce themselves to one another as Leviathan and Kid Quantum, 
and then see a young woman who rushes in with super-speed and calls herself 
XS warn the other two about an approaching Durlan. When the Legionnaires 
see that the three are about to fight the Durlan, they rush in to restore 
the peace, and they discover that the three they had been watching had been 
appointed Legionnaires by their home planets' governments. Soon afterward, 
with the help of another young man who had been invisible until that point, 
they learn that the Durlan, code-named Chameleon, is also a Legionnaire 
(though he doesn't speak Interlac), as is the one who had just appeared, 
Invisible Kid. Having gotten all that straightened out, they head into the 
U. P. building for their meeting, at which time they discover that 
Leviathan was appointed Legion leader by the United Planets. Leviathan then 
briefs the other Legionnaires on their mission, which is to investigate the 
disappearance of ships along a once-busy trade route. He shows them the new 
standard Legion equipment, a transparent body sheath which will protect 
them from the vacuum of space as well as most other inhospitable 
environments, and tells Kid Quantum, whose time-stasis powers are amplified 
by his belt, that he will have to wear the belt over his so-called 
transuit. As they leave the room to embark on the mission, Leviathan 
emphasizes the glory that solving this problem will bring the Legion, and 
Cosmic Boy reminds him that saving lives is the more important goal.

They find a freighter that had been missing and board it, splitting into 
teams to find the culprit and/or the ship's missing crew. One team sees an 
alien creature, whose thoughts frighten Saturn Girl, and who catches her in 
a sticky trap and escapes to an upper level of the ship. Another team, on 
that upper level, finds the crew, most of them dead, wrapped in cocoons of 
the sticky substance. As they attempt to free the beings inside the 
cocoons, a large, spider-like creature. They are saved from it by the team 
which had chased the creature up there, and they battle it until the rest 
of the Legion arrives. The creature shoots flying, stinging insects at 
them, enabling it to escape. While the Legionnaires are occupied with the 
flying creatures, including XS, who runs from them in fear, Kid Quantum 
chases after the large one, which calls itself Tangleweb. Kid Quantum holds 
Tangleweb in his stasis field, and brags about the capture to his arriving 
teammates. While he is bragging, he fails to notice his belt shorting out, 
and Tangleweb kills him. The other Legionnaires find survivors in the 
cocoons and free them. Meanwhile, Leviathan and Cosmic Boy run after 
Tangleweb, who had by that time escaped. Leviathan, ashamed of his 
performance, resigns the leadership, handing it to Cosmic Boy, and offers 
to resign from the Legion, which Cosmic Boy refuses. Cosmic Boy assures 
Leviathan that mistakes are inevitable, but that as long as they learn from 
their mistakes, Kid Quantum will not have died in vain.

The Legionnaires listen secretly as R. J. Brande yells at President Chu for 
forcing the new members and Leviathan's leadership on the Legion, and 
during the conversation, they discover that there is a Legion draftee who 
they didn't know about who neglected to report for duty. Elsewhere, Saturn 
Girl and Live Wire interrogate the pople who had attempted to kill R. J. 
Brande in order to find out who had hired them. Later, in the Legion's 
temporary headquarters, XS packs her bags, believing that she's too scared 
to be an effective Legionnaire. While she's doing so, she is interrupted by 
Cosmic Boy, who tells her that only he saw her run from Tangleweb's 
creatures, and that he believes she'd make a good Legionnaire if she only 
makes the effort to confront her fears. Invisible Kid and Chameleon arrest 
Roderick Doyle for the attempted murder of R. J. Brande, and, as they 
escort him out of his office, he makes a threat. Later, a funeral is held 
for Kid Quantum, and, while Cosmic Boy is delivering a eulogy, a bomb 
explodes in the coffin.XS rushes to save everyone in the coffin-bomb's 
range and succeeds, and is praised by Cosmic Boy for her actions.

R. J. leads the Legion to their new headquarters building and he and 
President Chu give the excited youngsters a tour, during which they are 
introduced to their new cook, Tenzil Kem, and their missing member, 
Brainiac 5. After the tour, Leland McCauley contacts them, asking them to 
protect him from an unknown being who has thus far killed three of his 
employees on the moon.

On the moon, the Legionnaires encounter some Science Police officers who 
resent their involvement in the matter. They then go to McCauley's office, 
where he shows them a holo from the killer, who identifies himself as Mano 
and says he seeks to kill Leland McCauley to avenge the destruction of all 
other living beings on his home planet. McCauley tells the Legion that 
those people had been warned about the danger of the chemicals, and tells 
the Legion about Manos hand, which can disintegrate whatever it touches. 
The Legionnaires search for Mano and find him, battling him until they 
reach the surface of the moon. Mano then threatens to destroy the dome 
which holds their atmosphere in, and Live Wire, thinking that it would kill 
Mano as well, calls Mano's bluff. Mano then destroys the dome, causing the 
area where he and the Legion of Super-Heroes are to lose its atmosphere. 
Mano escapes, and the Legionnaires gasp for air and are finally saved from 
asphixiation through the quick thinking of Cosmic Boy and Chameleon. The 
Legionnaires then follow Mano's trail by using Saturn Girl's  telepathy, 
and, while doing so, are contacted by R. J. Brande, who tells them that it 
was just discovered that Mano had destroyed an entire planet through his 
touch. The Legionnaires discuss how they could possibly stop someone that 
powerful, and, at Invisible Kid's suggestion, they contact new member 
Brainiac 5, who is working on an experiment in his laboratory in Legion 
headquarters. While they talk to him, Mano kills an employee of his target, 
Leland McCauley, in order to be allowed to rest in his room, and the murder 
is detected by Saturn Girl. Brainiac 5 condescendingly tells the 
Legionnaires that Mano needs time to recharge his powers, because otherwise 
he would have destroyed the entire moon rather than hunt McCauley 
personally, and that they have little time until Mano has rested enough to 
become powerful enough to destroy the moon. The Legionnaires find Mano and 
capture him by having Chameleon imitate McCauley, and, after distracting 
Mano by revealing his true nature, having Invisible Kid sneak up behind him 
and, with Chameleon's help, knock him out. They Mano over to McCauley, who 
shackles him, and McCauley offers the Legionnaires money to act as his 
private security team, an offer which they disgustedly refuse. They then 
rush back to Earth, where President Chu has demanded to speak with Live 
Wire, and, during the conversation, she tells Live Wire that his home 
planet had decided that his sister Ayla should be their Legion representative.

Inside Legion headquarters, Ayla Ranzz takes on the code-name Spark and 
tells her new teammates how she and her siblings, including Legionnaires 
Live Wire got their powers. Live Wire, meanwhile, mopes over the fact that 
her Legion membership would mean his departure from the team, as the United 
Planets insists that no planet have more than one representative, and rages 
at Ayla, who calls him irresponsible for running away from home even though 
he did it to look for their brother. After R. J. Brande tells the Legion 
that he is unable to convince the U. P. to let both siblings be on the 
team, Saturn Girl gets her two fellow founding Legionnaires to go to the 
President herself and threaten her with a show of disunity, which would 
damage the U. P. When they see President Chu, she reveals to them the fact 
that Live Wire is a runaway and his brother who he is seeking is a 
criminal, and tells them that they can keep whichever sibling they wish to, 
but can only keep one.

Saturn Girl meets and identifies Ultra Boy, who refuses to tell her why he 
is watching the Legion, and his threatening posture earns him an attack 
from Spark. Ultra Boy grabs Spark in self-defense, but Live Wire sees this 
and attacks him to free his sister. Live Wire and Ultra Boy fight, and Live 
Wire realizes that despite the awesome powers Ultra Boy displays, he can 
only use one power at a time, which leaves him vulnerable when attacking 
others. The other Legionnaires intervene to stop the fight, which Live Wire 
agrees to do after he sees the destruction he had wrought. Live Wire, 
ashamed of his actions, resigns from the Legion and speaks to Ultra Boy, 
who implies that he can help locate Live Wire's brother. Ultra Boy flies 
off with Live Wire and brings him to the headquarters of the Workforce, 
newly created by Leland McCauley.

The Legion heads to Planet Hell to try and re-open access to it from the 
outside world. The White Trianglers, in league with Planet Hell's warden, 
attack:

A number of Legionnaires on Planet Hell look around themselves in horror as 
they realize that someone has brought ships to free the thousands of 
criminals imprisoned on the planet, who will soon be released from their 
cells, the power to which had been cut off when those ships destroyed the 
planet's power supply. Suddenly, the man who had told the Legionnaires he 
was the prison warden flees, and the Legionnaires find themselves about to 
be trampled by the freed prisoners. The Legionnaires use their jet-packs to 
escape from the prisoners, and XS goes to check on their teammates who had 
been in the area that the escape ships had bombed, who turn out to be fine 
due to Cosmic Boy's creating a metallic shield over them all. Cosmic Boy 
and Brainiac 5 then deduce, correctly, that the person calling himself the 
prison warden was actually a faker, tricking them into exposing the power 
supply so that he could free the criminals. Elsewhere on Planet Hell, the 
other Legionnaires knock out the pilots of the escape ships and destroy the 
escape ships so that the criminals don't escape the prison world. The 
Legionnaires fight the freed criminals, and soon receive help from an 
arriving ship, which bombs the criminals. The ship's occupants reveal 
themselves to be the Workforce, which includes former Legionnaire Live 
Wire, who tells the Legionnaires that his team had come in pursuit of the 
ship's pilots, who had stolen weapons. The two teams of heroes join forces 
and manage to knock out some of the criminals. The ship's pilots awaken and 
distribute the stolen weapons to the criminals, who were losing to the 
Legionnaires. Shortly thereafter, though, the "warden" discovers that the 
access tunnel which allowed entry to and exit from Planet Hell had 
collapsed, and that they were all trapped there. Meanwhile, Cosmic Boy 
discovers that the air around them is getting hotter, and Brainiac 5 tells 
him that, due to the destruction of the planet's power supply, the 
force-field shielding the planet from the surrounding star's heat will 
collapse in four hours, and that the access tunnel has collapsed, leaving 
them all trapped. Meanwhile, the newly-armed criminals round up the heroes 
with their weapons and take aim at them.

Brainiac 5 strikes a deal with them to keep the heroes alive (albeit as 
hostages) in exchange for his attempting to fix the force-field that 
shields them from the star so that it won't collapse and save all of their 
lives. The criminals agree to the deal, and Brainiac 5, Workforce member 
Evolvo, Saturn Girl and Invisible Kid head down the pit where the planet's 
power supply had been before the criminals destroyed it. Outside the 
holding cells, the criminals begin to fight with one another. The 
Legionnaires bust out of their cells and confront the criminals, and Saturn 
Girl, detecting this, asks the "warden" to calm the criminals down by 
letting her project his thoughts to them. He tries to do so, but also ends 
up projecting the thought that he is a racist who sees them all as members 
of inferior races, a fact which gets the criminals to attack him. Evolvo 
changes into a stronger, less eveolved form to hold off the onrush of 
criminals seeking to kill the "warden," and Invisible Kid finally finishes 
his work, which is to change the polarity of the force-field surrounding 
Planet Hell so that the star's electromagnetic energy repels the planet and 
spits it out, saving their lives. The criminals break through Evolvo's 
defense, but Invisible Kid holds them at bay with a smaller force-field. 
Later, when Invisible Kid has focused the force-field to keep the criminals 
incarcerated, Cosmic Boy speaks to Live Wire, but Live Wire, knowing that 
he cannot rejoin the Legion, turns away and joins his Workforce teammates.

At Legion headquarters, a number of Legionnaires watch their newest 
draftee, code-named Andromeda, use her power of super-strength, 
super-speed, flight, invulnearability, super-breath, heightened senses and 
heat vision to brutalize a hired Legion trainer. After taking note of the 
fact that she must always wear a transuit to protect her from lead 
poisoning, as lead is highly toxic to Daxamites such as her, Cosmic Boy 
welcomes her to the team, but is rebuffed by the new Legionnaire, who 
displays racist attitudes and an aversion to being touched by anyone of 
another race. President Chu then informs the Legionnaires that Xanthu has 
drafted a replacement for the late Kid Quantum, who will join the team 
after he rcovers from a spaceship crash. Andromeda, Shrinking Violet and 
Kinetix join the Legion; Lume and Gates refuse membership, and Micro kills 
Ion in an attempt to gain membership.

Invisible Kid gives his newly-invented flight rings to the Legionnaires. 
The female Legionnaires (with the exception of Saturn Girl) attempt to gain 
entry to a dance club, and while waiting, witness an alien being attacked 
by White Triangle thugs. They save the alien and Andromeda takes off after 
the attackers, but she lets them go.

Meanwhile, at Legion headquarters, Cosmic Boy and Saturn Girl finish a 
virtual-reality training session and, swept up in the fantasy scenario, 
move to kiss each other. When the virtual reality helmets bump into each 
other, stopping them from doing so, the device shuts off, and they part 
ways, somewhat embarrassed.

On Earth, in Legion headquarters, the Legionnaires prepare to hunt down 
Tangleweb and capture him once and for all, but, when Cosmic Boy tries to 
assemble a team to do so, those not included in the mission take their 
exclusion as personal insults. As the team that had been selected for the 
mission prepares to take off, Cosmic Boy discovers that Invisible Kid, who 
thought the team would need him, was stowing away and throws him off the 
ship. On Earth, Invisible Kid borrows a stealthy, fast ship and takes off 
after the Legion. In space, the Legion follows the trail of Tangleweb's 
ship. Suddenly, Tangleweb turns around and attacks them. The Legion tries 
to capture him, but he captures Cosmic Boy and Spark and takes them with 
him when the Legion drives him off. Leviathan takes over the leadership of 
the mission and has Andromeda push the Legion's ship at super-speed so it 
can catch Tangleweb's ship. After a while, they land on a planet, which 
they soon discover is inhabited by many beings of Tangleweb's race. One of 
Triad's bodies, upset at being excluded from the mission, storms off alone 
and is badly beaten by White Triangle thugs. Brainiac 5, working through 
the night, figures out how to save Triad's life.

On Tangleweb's world, Invisible Kid falls into a trap which brings him into 
Tangleweb's lair. He tries to free Cosmic Boy from Tangleweb's clutches, 
but Tangleweb catches him first. Elsewhere on that planet, Chameleon, using 
his shape-changing body to pantomime a story, explains to his teammates 
that the other spider-like beings told him that Tangleweb is a criminal 
amongst their kind, one who looted technology from crashed ships to augment 
his body and mind. As Chameleon finishes the tale, the Legionnaires receive 
a message from Cosmic Boy that he, Spark and Invisible Kid are fighting 
Tangleweb and that they need help. The other Legionnaires arrive, and 
Chameleon tells Invisible Kid that Tangleweb eats other beings' brains to 
boost his own intellect which will allow him to create other cyborg 
creatures like himself. The Legionnaires are suddenly attacked by these 
others. Leviathan, realizing that Andromeda is the only one of them who is 
powerful enough to stop Tangleweb and his creatures but is afraid of 
touching them, grabs her and inspires her to be more active in the battle. 
She responds by separating the entire piece of the planet that the battle 
is on from the planet, placing it in space where the cold would freeze 
Tangleweb and his allies (the Legionnaires flew off when they realized what 
was happening). Later, Cosmic Boy forgives Invisible Kid for disobeying his 
orders, and tells Leviathan that they have successfully avenged the blood 
of Kid Quantum.

Saturn Girl decides that the problems of the Legion are Cosmic Boy's fault 
and she goes to tell him that, but before she can do so, she and Cosmic Boy 
see Leviathan and S. P. officer  get attacked by a Durlan at Science Police 
headquarters. The Durlan knocks out Leviathan, and the other officers move 
to attack it, which they think they have done successfully after killing 
what appears to be a mouse. Soon, the other Legionnaires arrive, and an 
officer shows them the mouse, telling them it was the Durlan. Chameleon 
tells them that the mouse is not the Durlan, and the S. P. officer holding 
the creature soon confirms this be changing himself. He attacks Chameleon 
and the rest of the Legion fights to defend him. The Durlan copies the 
powers of each Legionnaire who attacks him, much to the Legionnaires' 
surprise. He explains that he was created to be a living weapon and then 
imprisoned as a living sin by the Durlan religious leadership, to which 
Chameleon belongs. Cosmic Boy sends Andromeda away so that the Durlan will 
not copy her powers, and then the Legionnaires attack it, watching it copy 
each of their powers to stymie them. Suddenly, after copying Brainiac 5, it 
gets the idea of copying the forms and powers of many of them at the same 
time, turning himself into a Composite Man with the powers of all the 
Legionnaires.

The Legionnaires flee.   Chameleon then attacks him, and the Composite Man 
informs Chameleon that he has killed Chameleon's father and most of Durla's 
religious leadership. While Chameleon screams in grief, the Composite Man 
attacks the Legion again and the Legionnaires bury him in the ground. 
Cosmic Boy asks Saturn Girl to read the Composite Man's mind, but she 
refuses to, having developed a fear if the Durlan mind after entering 
Chameleon's earlier that day. She instead tells Andromeda to move further 
from the battle site, which Andromeda does, saying she has other things to 
do. Afterward, Chameleon, through Invisible Kid's interpretation, tells the 
other Legionnaires what the Composite Man had done to his family and tells 
Brainiac 5 the formula for the substance that the Durlan priests had used 
to imprison him until now. The Composite Man digs his way to the surface, 
and XS takes off at super-speed with Chameleon on her back to keep the 
Composite Man away from Invisible Kid and Brainiac 5, who are recereating 
the imprisonment substance. Once they are done, Saturn Girl has XS lead the 
Composite Man back toward the Legion, where the Legionnaires shower him 
with the substance. The Composite Man pretends to be in pain, but then 
surprises them by attacking, leading Invisible Kid to realize that he had 
mistranslated one of the formula's ingredients. Saturn Girl, realizing that 
she's the team's only hope for victory, forces herself to overcome her fear 
of the Durlan mind and shut down the Composite Man's mind, an act which 
causes her to lose her sanity. Later, Chameleon and Invisible Kid tell 
Cosmic Boy of their intention to go to Durla to bury Chameleon's father, 
and orderlies from a psychiatric hospital take Saturn Girl to their facility.

Kinetix goes on an archaeological dig with Shrinking Violet and loses her 
powers.  Shavughn Erin is officially given the assignment of Legion liason, 
to her chagrin and the jeers of her comrades.


At the hospital where both Triad and Saturn Girl are being treated, Dr. 
Micah Aven walks in and begins to touch Saturn Girl's head. When Triad 
tries to get him off of her, he touches her head, rendering her immobile, 
but not before she can send an alert to the Legion. Cosmic Boy arrives to 
stop the man from doing whatever he's doing to Saturn Girl. The man reveals 
that he has healed Saturn Girl of her catatonia, and introduces himself as 
Aven, Saturn Girl's former mentor. It soon becomes evident, though, that 
Saturn Girl, while no longer comatose, was not quite cured yet. Cos shares 
with Aven his suspicions that President Chu was responsible for the 
Braal-Titan war and might not be dealing truthfully with the Legion either.

At Legion headquarters, President Chu refuses to let Cosmic Boy discharge 
the de-powered Kinetix from the Legion. As he and Kinetix discuss her 
situation, a wounded Andromeda crashes through the roof.

Brainiac 5 devises a cure for Andromeda's lead poisoning, as she tells him 
her history. Kinetix leaves Earth in a quest to regain her lost powers. 
Triad is released from the hospital. At United Planets headquarters, Cosmic 
Boy tries to defend his leadership of the Legion to a panel of diplomats, 
including Apparition's mother, who is particularly hostile. Shrinking 
Violet discovers a White Triangle medallion in Andromeda's quarters and 
displays it at a Legion meeting, leading the Legionnaires to consider 
Andromeda a traitor.

Earthling White Trianglers attack interracial couples, including Ultra Boy 
and Apparition, who, with other Legionnaires fight them off. Daxamite White 
Trianglers begin destroying Stargates, including the one for which Kinetix 
was bound. At Legion headquarters, Cosmic Boy confronts Andromeda with the 
evidence that she is a member of the White Triangle and confines her to her 
quarters. Andromeda tells Roxxas of the anti-lead serum Brainiac 5 invented 
for her. At United Planets headquarters, Cosmic Boy demands Andromeda's 
expulsion from the Legion, but is told that Daxamite Ambassador Roxxas has 
demanded that she remain a member.

R. J. Brande goes to Trom to convince Tarn Arrah to come off-planet with 
him to create more Tarnium for new Stargates to replace the ones destroyed 
by the White Triangle. Tarn refuses, sending his son Jan instead. Invisible 
Kid forms the Legion Espionage Squad. The White Triangle Daxamites, under 
Roxxas's orders, destroy every living creature on Trom.

The Legion Espionage Squad takes some Earthling White Trianglers captive 
for interrogation. The Daxamite White Trianglers, now in possession of the 
anti-lead serum, attack Earth, wreaking great destruction. The Legion and 
Workforce work together to stop them.

On Earth, in a hospital, Cosmic Boy fails in his attempts to get Saturn 
Girl to regain her mental fitness and help repel the Daxamite invasion, and 
she cries for Live Wire in a childish fit. Cosmic Boy is forced to leave 
when a Daxamite destroys the hospital. At Legion headquarters, Brainiac 5 
works on a secret project to help stop the Daxamites. Suddenly, Live Wire 
forces his way into Legion headquarters, and Cosmic Boy gives him a flight 
ring, reinstating him into the Legion, and sends him on a mission of his own.

Elsewhere, Invisible Kid reports to Cosmic Boy that the Daxamites are not 
wearing transuits to protect them from lead poisoning before he is knocked 
out by one of the Daxamites. Cosmic Boy relays this information to Brainiac 
5, who is alarmed by this and tells Cosmic Boy that if they had taken 
Andromeda's anti-lead serum, it would drive them mad, as it is targeted 
only for her genetic structure. Brainiac 5 continues working on his project 
with greater speed than before.

At the hospital where Saturn Girl is a patient, Live Wire enters and 
provides light for Saturn Girl after a blackout. He speaks to her softly, 
explaining that she is needed both by the Legion and by him personally, and 
she comes to her senses. As the Daxamite fight rages on and inspires mob 
riots in the streets, Live Wire and Saturn Girl return to Legion 
headquarters, where Cosmic Boy tells her that she must mentally link the 
teams of heroes in order to get them to herd the Daxamites to a specific 
spot at the right time. At Legion headquarters, Brainiac 5 declares that 
they will have to put the plan into action immediately, and Cosmic Boy has 
Saturn Girl mentally summon the Daxamites to Legion headquarters. Brainiac 
5 sets up the device that he had been working on, and the Daxamites and 
Brande's ship approach quickly. Just as the Daxamites are about to attack 
the three founding Legionnaires standing on their headquarters roof, 
Brande's ship opens to reveal that his companion is Jan Arrah. Jan turns 
part of Brainiac 5's device into tarnium, and the device creates a small 
stargate directly in the path of the Daxamites. After the Daxamites have 
passed through, Brainiac 5 removes the tarnium, closing the stargate, but 
not before Saturn Girl catches a glimpse of a human figure in the stargate. 
Later, the heroes regroup and lick their wounds, and Brainiac 5 tells them 
that the Daxamites were sent to a planet orbiting a red sun where they'd be 
powerless. The heroes then receive the sad news of Apparition's and 
Andromeda's deaths and erect memorial statues to them. Some time later, 
United Planets President Chu secretly tells Cosmic Boy that Andromeda is 
not dead, but instead voluntarily turned herself in and incarcerated 
herself on Planet Hell to atone for her crime of aiding the White Triangle. 
Cosmic Boy, understanding that knowledge of that would be a major blow to 
the credibility of the Legion and the U. P., agrees to keep the secret.

Gigi Cusimano and other Science Police officers make a sweep of known White 
Triangle bases and arrest members of the group, who remain defiant despite 
their defeat. At Legion headquartersR. J. Brande delivers a eulogy for 
Apparition and Andromeda. Cosmic Boy then hears many people express 
hostility toward the Legion, including a reporter, Apparition's mother and 
the ambassador from Aleph, who is concerned about Kinetix's disappearance. 
Ultra Boy tells Cosmic Boy that he is quitting the Workforce to do good, 
thus honoring Apparition's memory. Meanwhile, a Durlan approaches Chameleon 
and bows, Jan Arrah wonders about the sadness, declaring that death is just 
a state of change, which his race consider sacred, and Brainiac 5, who is 
not present, mourns Andromeda in his own way. Hearing Saturn Girl tell him 
that the team seems to be in a mood of despair, Cosmic Boy immediately 
abandons two United Planets with whom they were meeting and calls a meeting 
of the Legion. He encourages the team by reminding them of their hard-won 
victory over the White Triangle and announces that he invited Ultra Boy and 
Jan Arrah to join the Legion. Suddenly, President Chu rushes in and berates 
Cosmic Boy for leaving the service room. She tells him that the Legion will 
have much less freedom, that they are not to admit any more members, and 
that he has to kick Live Wire off the team again, which he reluctantly 
does. Cosmic Boy begins thinking seriously about Aven's suspicions; a 
number of Legionnaires try to talk to Cosmic Boy, but he refuses to talk to 
anyone. After they leave his office, he quietly cries to himself over the 
stress of his position.

Cosmic Boy asks Invisible Kid to form an espionage squad and begin spying 
on the President. He already has.

Doctor Zaxton Regulus seizes control of Derek Morgna's laboratories and 
takes Dirk Morgna hostage. At Legion headquarters, Cosmic Boy throws Ultra 
Boy out of the rec room,as he is not a member, and he and Triad note that 
Cosmic Boy has become much more obedient to President Chu recently. Shortly 
thereafter, Cosmic Boy communicates with President Chu, who tells him to 
have the Legion help out at Morgna Industries, and who is unaware of 
something happening behind her back.  Cosmic Boy breaks into a laboratory 
to find Brainiac 5, who has been failing to report to missions, but finds 
the lab empty (Brainiac 5 time-traveled to the 20th century and got a beer 
at Warriors). The Legion defeats Regulus, but not before he injects Dirk 
with an experimental radioactive gold solution, which, after Dirk is 
bombarded with radiation from an overheating nuclear reactor, causes Dirk 
to glow and project light like a sun. Valor appears again during the battle 
with Regulus. President Chu assaults Jan Arrah on Trom. Live Wire takes off 
to find his brother.

Live Wire is taken by police on the planet Bisbe, who mistake him for his 
brother, Lightning Lord. Lightning Lord facilitates Live Wire's escape from 
the police and takes Live Wire to Korbal, where he intends to kill him. 
Spark meets up with the two of them and helps Live Wire defeat Lightning 
Lord, but at the cost of Live Wire's right arm. The two of them retrun to 
Winath. Valor makes a third appearance in a power surge related to Brainiac 
5's time-experiments. Cosmic Boy gets Brainiac 5 to cause Valor to appear 
intentionally, and they find out where he is and that they would need the 
help of the twentieth-century Superboy to get him out of there. A number of 
Legionnaires use Brainiac 5's time machine to travel to the past and meet 
Superboy. They enlist his aid and appear with him a short while later, 
though XS remains lost in time.

Superboy, Ultra Boy and the Legion travel to Korr and fight the Scavenger 
for possession of an item that would help complte the machine necessary to 
retrieve Valor from the Stasis Zone. During this fight, Shrinking Violet 
encounters the Emerald Eye of Ekron for the first time. Superboy 
accidentally lets slip that the Legion is trying to rescue Valor. Brainiac 
5 invents a personal force-field belt to protect himself from assaults. 
Valor is secretly rescued (the public is thrown off by a faked failure) and 
Superboy is made a Legionnaire and is returned to the twentieth century by 
Brainiac 5 (Legion of Super-Heroes.

Brainiac 5, trying to rescue XS, gets stuck in the timestream, and the 
twentieth-century villain Chronos, who had himself rescued XS, attacks the 
Legion seeking their time machine, inadvertently destroying it and an 
entire wing of the Legion's headquarters. Chronos dies and leaves his 
assistant, Lori Morning in the thirtieth century.

The Legion consults the Time Institute's Rond Vidar about rescuing Brainiac 
5. They manage to make contact with him, but the Science Police's 
interference causes Chronos to be revived and attack them. Brainiac 5 
figures out how to stop Chronos and return himself to real time, a plan 
which the Legion carries out, whereupon Brainiac 5 is arrested for illegal 
time-travel experimentation.

Cosmic Boy, suspicious of the President's motives for arresting Brainiac 5, 
contacts Live Wire and asks him to form a rescue squad in preparation for 
when President Chu would directly attack the Legion.

Star Boy and Gates join the Legion. Spark rejoins the team. Shrinking 
Violet is seduced by the Emerald Eye of Ekron. Architect Chuck Taine is 
brought in to fix the Legion's headquarters building (and nearly killed on 
accident during a fight between Cos and Leviathan). Invisible Kid tells the 
Espionage Squad in secret that they are going to start working to stop 
Cosmic Boy from ruining the Legion by taking the President's orders too 
slavishly. (Of course, Lyle is already working with Cos...)  President Chu 
wipes Jan Arrah's mind, places false memories in it, puts him inside an 
armored suit, and trains him to attack the Legion, who she sees as threats 
to her ambitions due to their capacity for time travel. She sends Jan to 
attack the Time Institute, where Rond Vidar and Saturn Girl are examining 
Lori Morning. Star Boy, in a training session, discovers that he has 
electrical-vision powers. Saturn Girl fights off Jan, while Lori slips 
away.  Saturn Girl runs into Cosmic Boy's office, and tells him that Lori 
Morning is missing. Before they can take any action on the matter, 
President Chu calls to tell them about an attack on the planet Guron by the 
armored man who had recently attacked the Time Institute. Lori gets 
arrested for insulting an alien being.

Valor, upon Cosmic Boy's request, leaves on a fact-finding mission. Along 
the way, he stops a gang of cutthroats called the Gatherers from getting 
their hands on some old Braalian weapons.

President Chu, after sending Jan to the planet Guron to attack it and then 
sending the Legion to stop him, contacts the criminal Tharok, telling him 
to prepare to lead the Fatal Five that will soon be assembled against the 
Legion. Shrinking Violet stops Jan and the Legion reads his mind, which 
implicates Ambassador Wazzo in the crime of brainwashing him. Saturn Girl 
gets Lori Morning released from Science Police custody. Mysa trains Kinetix 
in mysticism, giving her telekinetic powers, in order that she find the 
Emerald Eye of Ekron for her. The Legion confronts the United Planets 
council with this evidence and while replaying the evidence, President Chu 
points out the image of a Sun-Eater in the background. She adjourns the 
council meeting, and tells the Legion that they must help assemble the 
Fatal Five. On the prison planet Takron-Galtos, Brainiac 5 is interrogated 
by the telepath Nara Minsork.

The Legion agrees to help assemble the Fatal Five. Mysa declares Kinetix's 
mystic training completed and gives her a new form, sending her off to find 
the Emerald Eye. Cosmic Boy tells the now-recovered Jan Arrah to meet with 
Live Wire, who would then gather up Ultra Boy and Andromeda and meet up 
with Valor to form the rescue squad.

The Legion gathers the Fatal Five on Takron-Galtos; they do this in 
two-person teams, and  Cos and Vi free Mano from his torment at the hands 
of Leland McCauley. (While the Legion is away,  Legion headquarters is 
attacked by shape-changing intruders, who are defeated by Chuck Taine, 
Tenzil Kem, Marla Latham, Lori Morning and Rond Vidar. All but one of the 
intruders die, and that one is taken by Lori as a pet, which she names 
Proty.) The Five turn on them.  Cosmic Boy tries to stop the fight and get 
the assembled heroes and villains to concentrate on stopping the Sun-Eater, 
which the Legion had gathered the Fatal Five to help fight. Tharok tells 
him that the Sun-Eater threat was faked and that it was part of a plot to 
destroy the Legion, which he orders his teammates to commence doing.  The 
Five defeat the Legion in battle despite the help of Brainiac 5, who is 
released from his prison cell to aid them, and new super-strength and X-Ray 
vision powers newly discovered by Star Boy.

XS returns to the thirtieth century and is brought by the rescue squad to 
help save the Legion from the Fatal Five, which they do. When the 
Legionnaires have some breathing room, Live Wire lets Saturn Girl see in 
his mind how Cosmic Boy had contacted him to create a secret rescue squad, 
and he had recruited Ultra Boy and, with the help of recruits Jan Arrah and 
Valor, convinced Andromeda to leave her voluntary imprisonment and join the 
squad as well. Kinetix returns to the Legion in the middle of this battle, 
seeking the Emerald Eye. The Legionnaires determine that the Sun-Eater is a 
hoax, and that the Fatal Five, who escape, are about to re-start the war 
between Titan and Braal. Cosmic Boy splits the Legion and its allies into 
three teams: one group to stop the Fatal Five from triggering a Titan-Braal 
war, one group (with Aven's help) to stop the Titanians from declaring war, 
and one group, including the entire Legion Espionage Squad, to go to United 
Planets headquarters on Earth, where Tharok had been getting orders from, 
to catch the mastermind behind the whole plot.

The Sting resolves itself, as you know well.  President Chu accidentally 
confesses her crimes on live broadcast, leading to her removal from the 
office of president and her replacement with R. J. Brande, who eases most 
U. P. controls on the Legion and pardons Brainiac 5 and Andromeda of their 
crimes.

Jan Arrah, Ultra Boy and Live Wire become official Legion members again.

Cosmic Boy announces his resignation as Legion leader. He, Saturn Girl, 
Live Wire, Leviathan and Invisible Kid begin work on a Legion constitution.

Andromeda decides to not rejoin the Legion. Valor, taking the code-name 
M'Onel, joins the Legion as a "detatched service agent." Jan Arrah takes 
the code-name Element Lad. Kinetix interrogates the Empress regarding the 
Emerald Eye's whereabouts. Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl and Live Wire leave on a 
goodwill tour to ease tensions between Braal and Titan.

Dirk Morgna escapes from the hospital to see his father, and the 
Legionnaires find a way for the two to touch again safely. The Legion is 
given custody of Dirk. Invisible Kid makes a mistake that makes him appear 
to be Spark's secret admirer. He, Spark, Chameleon, Gates, M'Onel and Star 
Boy are taken by Leviathan to Xanthu to settle the question of Star Boy's 
Legion status.

The next day, the three founding Legionnaires attend a magno-ball game, 
where they are introduced by the United Planets ambassadors from Titan and 
Braal. Cosmic Boy initially gets a very cool reception from the crowd, but 
they warm up to him after an exciting magno-ball exhibition. Suddenly, an 
explosion occurs. The Legionnaires save many lives, but Live Wire's 
artificial arm is destroyed, and the Braalian ambassador is in danger of 
dying. The doctors tell Saturn Girl that the Braalian ambassador will need 
a telepathic probe to determine his ability to live, and, as Saturn Girl 
goes to do it, her sister jealously gives Live Wire an unflattering image 
of Saturn Girl as a child. Live Wire refuses to believe the jealous images 
and joins the other two Legionnaires. Saturn Girl is about to probe the 
Braalian ambassador's mind, when the Titanian ambassador begs her not to, 
afraid that the Braalian is too weak to survive it. When Cosmic Boy voices 
suspicion that he's hiding something, he allows Saturn Girl to probe his 
mind, and she discovers that the two ambassadors are intimate friends, and 
his concern is genuine. seeing how skillful Saturn Girl is, he then gives 
her permission to enter the Braalian ambassador's mind, in which she finds 
the ambassador's psyche buried in its own darkness, the shame of having 
planted the bomb himself in order to make the Braalian-hating Titanians 
think about the destruction caused by their attitudes. When he saw Cosmic 
Boy being cheered, he tells Saturn Girl, he realized that most Titanians 
are not blindly hateful and he tried to disarm the bomb, but accidentally 
triggered it prematurely. Saturn Girl convinces him that rather than dying, 
a proper atonement for his actions would be to live and explain his 
actions, and he agrees. Saturn Girl emerges, and the Braalian ambassador 
awakens, speaks to the Titanian ambassador, and has the Science Police 
summoned so that he can confess. The Legionnaires leave, admiring his 
courage in admitting his shame.

Dr. Gym'll, after being hired by Triad to handle the Legion's routine 
medical needs, arrives at Legion headquarters. Shrinking Violet is elected 
Legion leader.

The Legionnaires on Xanthu fight the Amazer and Star Boy earns the right to 
stay with the Legion. Apparition frees herself from Ultra Boy's body 
(Legion of Super-Heroes.

Shrinking Violet has the Emerald Eye of Ekron grant Each Legionnaire his or 
her heart's desire. Doctor Regulus breaks free of the Science Police and 
takes over the planet Gallan, an incident investigated by both the Legion 
and the Workforce. In the monitor room in headquarters, Cosmic Boy kisses 
Saturn Girl, and tells her that he'd wanted to do that for a while. Their 
romantic interlude is interrupted by a call for Cosmic Boy to report for as 
mission, which has the Legion and Dirk Morgna, who was asked along by 
Shrinking Violet, going to Gallan to recapture the escaped Doctor Regulus. 
Triad splits into three distinct beings, Dirk Morgna returns to normal and 
Leviathan is killed stopping Regulus, all as a result of wish-fulfillment 
by the Eye. Shrinking Violet openly employs the Eye's power and attempts to 
use the Legion to find a way to revive Leviathan, but the Legionnaires 
prove unwilling to obey her commands. The Emerald Eye, through Shrinking 
Violet, takes direct control of the Legion, and begins having them remake 
Earth in its image, but Saturn Girl breaks free and leads Inferno and 
Shvaughn Erin against it, while Kinetix tries to take its power for 
herself. Seeing the unity of her team fall apart, Shrinking Violet commands 
the Eye to turn back time, a command which causes a huge explosion that 
sends a number of Legionnaires and others backward in time to the twentieth 
century, where they have met Superman, Ultra Boy encountered and Cosmic Boy 
captured a youth gang that included Squirrel and Strafe, they helped fight 
the Sun-Eater, attended Hal Jordan's funeral, helped Superman in an 
unsuccessful attempt to regain his powers, accidentally freed Brainiac and 
then, with the help of Vril Dox, helped end his conquest of Colu, fought 
Poltergeist alongside Deadman , accidentally unleash and then defeat a 
rogue computer program in Superman's fortress called Blck Zero II, and 
unwisely enlisted the aid of Impulse in using the Cosmic Treadmill to get 
home, during which time they acquired a pet monkey, Koko.

Back home, Live Wire has been appointed acting Legion leader.  Lori Morning 
is de-aged by Rond Vidar on her birthday, and he establishes limited 
contact with the Legionnaires trapped in the twentieth century.  The 
twentieth-century Legionnaires, after speaking to the thirtieth-century 
crew, are evicted from S. T. A. R. Labs due to the actions of Brainiac 5 
and Impulse, leading to Impulse's rejection for membership in the 
Legion.  They move into the former headquarters of the Justice League of 
America, allowing Ferro to stay with them, they take on jobs to earn money, 
Spark runs away and Saturn Girl accidentally awakens Doctor Psycho while 
pursuing her, and Saturn Girl then expels Doctor Psycho from her own mind, 
which he invaded, in a battle that results in Cosmic Boy's being left 
comatose.  You know all of this way better than the synopsis does.

Invisible Kid is elected leader of the Legionnaires in the thirtieth century.

The Legionnaires in the thirtieth century are contacted by Brainiac 5, who 
is able to tell Rond Vidar how to make a time machine to rescue them from 
the twentieth century. He does so, but the machine malfunctions due to 
Lori's tampering, and the entire Legion (minus the comatose Cos) ends up 
trapped in the time-stream. Brainiac 5 manages to get the Legion back into 
normal time, but the Legionnaires end up in three different time periods: 
the thirtieth century where they belong, the late twentieth century where 
some of them had been, and the year 1958, in a pocket dimension, where they 
had their memories warped and they spent some time believing themselves to 
be Earthling teenagers, spending time with an art teacher named Mister 
Swan. They then return to the part of the twentieth century that they had 
previously been stuck in, reuniting with Shvaughn Erin, Apparition and 
Ferro, and Ferro fights Doc 30 and the Knight Shift to free his brother 
from their hands, a fight during which his brother is killed. The Legion 
offers Ferro membership, which he accepts, in his gratitude making new 
costumes for the Legionnaires, all of which get destroyed except for 
Inferno's. Around this time, Cosmic Boy and Saturn Girl become engaged to 
marry, Ultra Boy builds a vehicle for the Legion to use for transportation, 
the Legion, using it, discovers that Superboy had given his flight ring to 
his girlfriend Roxy, and the Legionnaires take it away from her, and Gates 
and Ultra Boy volunteer their help at a soup kitchen. Then, Ferro helps 
earn some money for the Legion. Later, Brainiac 5 attempts to obtain a 
responsometer from the Metal Men, which one of them gives him after some 
initial resistance, and after that, Inferno leaves the group and settles in 
a mall.

It is discovered that Saturn Girl had been unconsciously animating Cosmic 
Boy's body out of a need for structure, but was actually in love with Live 
Wire, so their wedding is called off, but Cosmic Boy is then truly healed, 
and Ultra Boy and Apparition marry.  Ow ow ow ow.

Brainiac 5 then helps Supergirl solve a magical problem, and then, the 
Legionnaires get involved in Genesis, during which Spark's powers change 
from projecting electricity to making things weightless and Phase of L. E. 
G. I. O. N. tries to steal, but instead disappears into, her touchstone, 
which was in the possession of Tiffany Cross, after which they revoke and 
reinstate Superboy's membership and fight Silver Sword and Ferro has a 
dream, shared by other twentieth-century heroes, that the Legion and most 
twentieth-century heroes were killed by a bounty hunter.

LeVIathan, Invisible Kid, Chameleon, Live Wire and Element Lad, along with 
Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, Triad, and Brainiac 5 are brought into the 1940's 
of a pocket dimension and implanted with false memories, and are returned 
to their previous times and places after they "die" there. Following this, 
the Legionnaires in the twentieth century create C. O. M. P. U. T. O., 
which creates a time-warp to the thirtieth century for them but then 
threatens to destroy all human life on Earth, so they battle it with the 
help of several twentieth-century heroes. Apparition's touchstone merges 
with that of Phase, and Apparition disappears into it and meets Phase, 
discovering a connection between the two of them.

All other Legionnaires but M'onel (who is elsewhere) are summoned by Cosmic 
Boy to go through a time warp help him and the Legionnaires who had been 
stuck in the twentieth century fight C. O. M. P. U. T. O., which they do, 
enabling the other Legionnaires to join them in the thirtieth century, 
although Inferno chooses to stay behind.

The Legion stops the piracy of Rarb and Stheno in outer space.

The Time Institute is shut down and time travel is made illegal once again.

Green Lantern appears from the twentieth century and helps the Legion stop 
the evil Green Lantern Corps alongside his thirtieth-century descendant.

The Legionnaires familiarize themselves with the new Legion Outpost. A 
ceremony formally dedicating it to the memory of Gim Allon (Leviathan) is 
held, and Dyrk Magz takes on the job of managing and performing monitor 
duty on the Outpost.

Sister Andromeda discovers an odd anomaly in outer space, which she refers 
to as "Fires of Creation." an image of her appears at Legion headquarters 
and asks M'Onel to follow her, which he does.  Kinetix delivers a note to 
Ultra Boy that he and Apparition must receive psychiatric counseling.  A 
team of Legionnaires heads for the space anomaly to examine it. Spark 
begins to have dizzy spells. Saturn Girl returns to Titan to confront Aven 
over the mental blocks he had placed in her mind. An attempt is made on the 
life of R. J. Brande by some Sklarians who later kill themselves; the 
Legion Espionage Squad commences an investigation of it.

Spark, Live Wire and Saturn Girl stop a thief from stealing a dangerous 
toxic strain of bacteria. Spark is told that she will continue to have 
headaches until she accepts that she is now different from Live Wire or 
until she regains her lightning powers. She attempts to do so, but is 
killed instead, and revived by her teammates through use of electricity on 
Korbal, which changes her power back to her original electric powers. 
Xanthu is attacked by the Natra Dellons.

Ferro seeks counseling from Doctor Ryk'rr, who becomes the Legion's regular 
therapist. The Legion team investigating the space anomaly reaches it. Star 
Boy (who had returned to the Outpost) and Monstress go to investigate a 
communications blackout on Xanthu. Triad, XS and Lori Morning, in H-Dial 
disguise as Ink, fight a criminal Durlan. Shvaughn Erin is promoted to 
Lieutenant.

Star Boy and Monstress arrive on Xanthu and find that it is under attack by 
the Natra Dellons. They and the Amazers try to stop the invaders, but 
before they can, the Khunds arrive and stop them, gaining influence over 
the planet. Kid Quantum II is invited to join the Legion.  Ultra Boy and 
Apparition are counseled by Dr. Ryk'rr, and Apparition gets an 
understanding as to the nature of her being.  Alux Cuspin is released from 
prison.  Following a day of relaxation, Invisible Kid resigns the Legion 
leadership and hands the reins to Saturn Girl.

Karate Kid quits the Workforce and seeks refuge amongst the Legion over 
Leland McCauley's attempt to use the space anomaly for profit. The Legion 
works out a deal with McCauley getting McCauley to drop any charges against 
Karate Kid stemming from his departure, and the Legion getting Karate Kid's 
services. Star Boy, Monstress and Kid Quantum discover intentional jamming 
of Xanthu's communications and go to stop it, but are attacked by the 
Khunds. They survive the attack, but are unable to prove that the Khunds 
were in league with those jamming the communications, as the Khunds had 
destroyed all of the evidence.

Karate Kid and Kid Quantum II officially join the Legion, and Sensor and 
Chameleon leave.

The Legionnaires at the space anomaly are drawn out of it by Evolvo's 
machine while he and Leland McCauley are showing it to the chief armorer of 
the Dark Circle / Affiliated Planets. Brainiac 5, Andromeda and Kinetix are 
radically changed after their emergence. The criminal Durlan is freed from 
Science Police custody by Kono. The anti-Durlan hysteria caused by the 
escape is increased by the Affiliated Planets and many planets leave the 
United Planets and join the Affiliated Planets for protection. Meanwhile, 
the Legion rescues the passengers of the ship on which the Durlan escaped.

Monstress, Gates, Kinetix, Ferro, Kid Quantum, XS and Lori Morning find 
themselves in a world where they are not Legionnaires, and in which the 
Legionnaires that they are familiar with are quite different than the ones 
they remember. They attempt to travel through time to return to the reality 
that they are familiar with, but end up ancountering another odd version of 
the Legion, and then, the Time Trapper, who had trapped the other 
Legionnaires in a pocket dimension in order to test their ability to act 
even when their reality is challenged. The seven free the other 
Legionnaires, and, after a fight, the Time Trapper sends them all back to 
their proper place and time .

Spark and Triad go to Winath to spy on the Affiliated Planets. Some rebel 
Durlans approach Chameleon about the theft of the Durlan living weapons. 
Leviathan and Invisible Kid discover that the Gil'Dan United Planets 
Ambassador is actually an Affiliated Planets spy.

Saturn Girl, Kid Quantum, Live Wire, Ferro and Cosmic Boy investigate an 
extraterrestrial object, which turns out to be a hostile thing that 
intelligently counters their powers. They are helped by Lori, in the form 
of the teleoprter Blip, and defeat it by attacking different parts of the 
entity before it could re-adapt to defeat its new opponents.

A group of Sklarians with Tyrazzian support raid Imsk, escape from the 
Legion and destroy Imsk's stargate (temporarily stranding XS and Cos on the 
wrong side). At a party on Winath, one of the co-presidents is murdered by 
the Composite Man. In retaliation, Winath declares war on Durla and 
blockades the planet, just as Andromeda and Sensor arrive to combat the 
anti-Durlan hysteria.

The United Planets interrogates the Gil'Dan spies. Andromeda begins to 
remove communication-jamming devices from Durla. As part of a plan to reach 
Durla without upsetting the Affiliated Planets, several Legionnaires "quit" 
the Legion to "join" the Science Police.

The Composite Man fails to convince his fellow living weapon to join the 
Dark Circle and cripples her before leaving on his next mission for them. 
Andromeda finishes destroying the communications jammers around Durla and 
the Legionnaires who had "resigned" to wear Science Police uniforms descend 
to the planet to help Chameleon. In doing so, they get from a dying Durlan 
the coordinates of the location of the living weapons. Brainiac 5 is 
summoned to Colu. The Legionnaires on Durla help the crippled living 
weapon, who joins them in their fight against the Dark Circle, also vowing, 
with Chameleon, to bring about societal change on Durla.

Brainiac 5, Violet and Kid Quantum arrive on Colu to convince the Coluans 
not to trust the Affiliated Planets. The Composite Man attacks Triad and 
Spark on Winath, and is then transported with them to Colu, where he fights 
the entire group of Legionnaires, but is defeated by the entire Coluan 
planet through the Sleepnet. The Affiliated Planets/Dark Circle attacks 
Durla. During the attack, the space anomaly collapses, stopping time. The 
Legionnaires, with the sacrifice of the Composite Man, restart time, in the 
process eliminating the anomaly and freeing the Time Trapper, who had been 
trapped in it, and bring a quick end to the war on Durla.

n space en route to Earth, Cosmic Boy is taken by the Time Trapper. The 
Time Trapper thanks Cosmic Boy for the Legion's restoration of time and for 
freeing the Trapper from the space anomaly. Cosmic Boy, angry over having 
been manipulated by the Trapper, attacks him, and the Trapper sends him 
back to the ship he had come from, vowing to make Cosmic Boy grovel before him.

The Legion and Science Police bust into the Dark Circle's headquarters. 
Brainiac 4, who had been the leader of the Dark Circle, attempts to kill 
her son, Brainiac 5, but the Legionnaires save him.

The Legionnaires who "quit" to become Science Police officers officially 
rejoin the Legion, and so do Chameleon and Sensor, who, along with Saturn 
Girl, are appointed by President Brande as special ambassadors of 
diversity.  Brainiac 5 visits Doctor Rykrr. The Affiliated Planets 
reconstitute as a planetary federation no longer attached to the Dark 
Circle, and sanction the Legion as law enforcement.  The Legion arrests 
former Winathian president Zakk Arn for embezzlement and the murder of his 
brother.

R. J. Brande, King Charlz of Orando and Leejah, the new spiritual leader of 
Durla, address the galaxy from Durla. Orando rejoins the United Planets. 
Brainiac 5 keeps a journal of observations and discussions, which helps him 
conquer his trauma at having been almost killed by his mother and prevents 
him from reverting to his anti-social behavior.

Dragonmage expresses renewed frustration with the slow pace of his recovery 
from injuries suffered during the fight against Mordru.

Alux Cuspin hires Domain to kill Cosmic Boy.

Doctor Savant and the Objective Order destroys the Rock of Eternity, 
causing Thunder to emerge into the late thirtieth century. The Legionnaires 
based on the Legion Outpost trace the explosion to a type of energy found 
on Fawcettworld, and there they stop Doctor Savant from continuing his 
campaign to wipe out magic. Thunder joins the Legion.

Kono and Stormfront cause a cave-in at the Crystal Caverns while stealing a 
crystal for Viktor Rhysson. Star Boy, Element Lad and Ferro rescue a boy 
trapped by the cave-in.

The Legion attends a celebration on the planet Lycidas over that planet's 
joining the United Planets. En route to this celebration, one ship of 
Legionnaires brushes against a Blight ship and is stranded on a crumbling 
moon, but manages to attract the other Legionnaires' attention and get help 
escaping.  The Blight becomes aware of the UP.

The Legion looks for pieces of the Eternium on the planet Sataar, and their 
presence awakens the wraiths Redin and Sarei Klerrgh, who possess M'Onel's 
and Thunder's bodies, but the Legionnaires drive the wraiths from their 
teammates' bodies, defeating them.

Xotar the Conqueror attacks a museum to find a power source, but is 
defeated by the Legion and escapes. Star Boy is suspended from active duty. 
Monstress's skin changes from green to orange.

The Legion holds an open tryout session. Amongst the rejected applicants is 
Blazerr, whose audition is interrupted by Impulse, who had traveled from 
the twentieth century to warn XS of an impending attack by a villain named 
Cobalt Blue. Soon, XS and Impulse are recruited by Kid Flash of the 
twenty-first century to help warn other Flashes, but end up several decades 
before the Legion's time possessed by Cobalt Blue.

Ferro and Triad run afoul some metal-eating creatures while escorting the 
Plague to Takron-Galtos.

The Legion stops an attempt by the Khunds to take Amilia Crugg back to 
Khundia against her will. Lori Morning is adopted by Crugg and joins the 
Workforce.

The Legion uses the Anywhere Machine to survey the planet Phlogista and 
discovers the United Molecules. Invisible Kid, Live Wire, Ferro and Karate 
Kid leave the Legion Outpost to deliver that information. Sensor and 
Thunder leave to prospect for Eternium. Star Boy discusses his power 
fluctuations with Dyrk Magz.

At a magno-ball game in Tokyo, Cosmic Boy's parents cheer for their son 
Pol, and Cosmic Boy himself is given the honor of opening the game. Shortly 
after he does that, he is re-introduced to his old friend Dirk Morgna, who 
runs (and whose father owns) the home team. After the game, Domain appears 
and takes Cosmic Boy and the three people standing closest to him, 
including his brother, Pol, to a different realm. Domain changes the 
features of the realm so that they are extremely surreal and disorienting. 
Cosmic Boy tries to summon the other Legionnaires for help, but discoveres 
that he cannot reach them from where he now is. In the place where Cosmic 
Boy and the others were taken to, Cosmic Boy tries to help the others, but 
finds himself falling down and bumping into things, as the place is 
thoroughly disorienting. He tries to stay in one place, but Domain causes 
large, explosive spheres (which he is not able to magnetically repel) to be 
attracted to him. Cosmic Boy asks Domain why he is doing this, and Domain 
reveals that he'd been hired to eliminate him. After a while, Cosmic Boy 
hits upon the idea of using a magnetic field for orientation, and he has 
Pol create one for him. Thus oriented, he easily avoids the spheres, helps 
out the others, and approaches Domain. Domain, impressed, talks to Cosmic 
Boy, revealing in passing that it was Cuspin who had hired him. Cosmic Boy, 
meanwhile, generates enough magnetism to magnetize the spheres and attracts 
them to where he and Domian are standing. Cosmic Boy leaps out of the way 
in time, but Domain is badly injured and disappears into his realm, 
releasing Cosmic Boy and the other three.

In Tokyo, Cosmic Boy and his parents discuss the matter of Cuspin and watch 
his brother and other magno-ball players practice.  In Sao Paulo, Cuspin 
sees someone who he thinks is Domain and acts happy at that person's 
implying that Cosmic Boy is dead. Once Cuspin has made a clear statement 
that he had hired Domain, that person reveals himself to be Chameleon and 
arrests Cuspin and hands him over to the Science Police. He attempts to 
communicate this to Cosmic Boy, but his flight ring fails for a moment, as 
does Shvaughn Erin's communicator. Soon, their function is restored and, in 
Tokyo, Cosmic Boy gets the message, although it dismays his parents to 
learn that Cuspin had indeed attempted to kill him.  (Dirk Morgna gets hit 
by a bolt of magical energy and begins to burn up.)  In Tokyo, Cosmic Boy 
and his family tour a scrap metal plant. Suddenly, he gets an alert of 
trouble from headquarters, and at that moment, a tank of hot lava bursts. 
Cosmic Boy contains the lava until his parents and brother, who also have 
his magnetic powers, relieve him of that burden and free him to investigate 
the trouble the Legion had alerted him to. At Legion headquarters, the 
power returns, although communications are somewhat sporadic, and Star Boy 
dispatches Monstress and Element Lad to Tokyo, to join Kid Quantum and 
Umbra, who are en route, and Cosmic Boy. Suddenly, Mysa appears, carrying 
Dragonmage. She puts Dragonmage down and tells Saturn Girl about the 
Elementals. In Tokyo, Cosmic Boy, Monstress, Kid Quantum, Element Lad and 
Umbra converge on the source of the troubles: a huge humanoid flame-being.

The Legionnaires on Earth stop Dirk Morgna, possessed by the Elemental 
Phy'R, from destroying Tokyo, and then stop the Elementals from awakening 
Mordru, reimprisoning them and killing two of their hosts. Star Boy's 
powers stabilize.

Pernisius captures Sensor and Thunder and uses their Legion equipment to 
locate some Etermium. The two free themselves while other Legionnaires take 
on Pernisius and the team assembles to fight an Eternium-powered Pernisius 
on Hoxar. Sensor escapes, but is captured and sent to Blackstar Juvenile 
Correctional Facility, where she meets Gear and the two of them escape the 
prison. Thunder escapes Pernisius's prison by using her magic word to 
disappear to the ninetieth century, and then returns to the thirtieth to 
help. After defeating the Legionnaires on Hoxar, Pernisius goes to Rimbor. 
There, Pernisius is defeated by the Legion, who power themselves with 
Eternium, the Rock of Eternity is reassembled, and the Legion discovers 
that Pernisius's possession of Eternium had been a plot by Doctor Savant 
all along. Thunder takes a temporary leave of absence from Legion duty and 
returns home to ninetieth-century Binderaan.

Dragonmage turns himself in to the authorities. Star Boy is suspended for 
dereliction of duty. Dirk Morgna discovers that his vision has been 
altered, and glimpses something odd at a memorial service for Brika. Live 
Wire leaves the Legion Outpost to help out the Legionnaires on JS-1967 and 
is berated for this decision.

Live Wire, Saturn Girl and Cosmic Boy discover that the Legion is being 
used as a figure of terror by the corrupt ruler of the planet Wellur and 
put an end to it.

On JS-1967, Dirk Morgna and Mysa discover that the life-energies of Atom'x 
and Blast-Off had survived the destruction of their bodies as a combined 
energy-being. They and the Legionnaires stationed there rush the energy to 
Med-Station One, where the energy-being is contained within a human-shaped 
suit and takes on the name Drake Burroughs, a combination of his two 
components' names. Saturn Girl then delivers a report on the entire 
incident to R. J. Brande.

Star Boy and Dreamer go to Summer World to vacation while Star Boy is 
suspended from the Legion.

Element Lad discovers that the trail of several stolen objects, such as the 
crystal from the Crystal Caverns, leads to Summer World. The Legionnaires 
make plans to all go there for some fun as well as mystery-solving, with 
the exception of Brainiac 5, Gates, Ultra Boy, Apparition, M'Onel and Umbra.

The Legionnaires vacation on Summer World and discover that tycoon Viktor 
Rhysson was responsible for the thefts. While they are there, the Emerald 
Eye of Ekron frees Empress, Tharok, Persuader and Validus and with them 
forms a new Fatal Five, and the five villains attack the Legion Outpost, 
taking it over and forcing Brainiac 5 and Gates to flee it.

The Amazers and the Outpost team of Legionnaires visit Earth. Four 
Legionnaires head into space to help a ship in distress, and end up 
fighting Ares Series Battle Robots and an Emissary from Robotica:

The Legion cruiser takes off and eventually reaches the ship that sent the 
distress signal. They board it and find that the crew is alive but frozen 
in ice. They investigate what caused it and rule out a robbery attempt, and 
soon find that there was a hole in the inner hull of the double-hulled 
ship. Brainiac 5 explains to the others that due to the cost of quality 
shielding materials, old freighters such as the one they are on had two 
hulls with scrap metal in between. Suddenly, something starts shooting at 
them. Brainiac 5 identifies it as an Ares Series Battle Robot, a type of 
robot that was designed for killing, with an override to the circuit that 
normally prevents robots from killing. He tells them that they ran out of 
control and had been shut down and used as shielding. While the other 
Legionnaires fight the robots, Brainiac 5 figures out how to re-activate 
the circuit that prevents the robots from killing. Once the Ares Series 
robots were no longer hostile, the Legionnaires turn to wondering what had 
re-activated them in the first place. They soon get their answer: an 
Emissary from Robotica, a "robot paradise" that had been thought only a 
myth. The Emissary tries to kill them, but they are saved by the Ares 
Series robots, which could no longer allow a sentient living being to be 
killed. The Legionnaires then try to head for home, but they discover that 
the Stargate network had been shut down.

The Blight burn out the Stargate network and come to Earth.

The four Legionnaires return to Earth some time later to find Earth and 
most Legionnaires dominated by the Blight.  They join up with Chameleon, 
who brings them up to speed.  Chameleon shows the others the Stem, the 
Blight's center of operations on Earth, and tells them that noone who has 
gone in has ever returned.  The five are about to break in when they find 
XS and Saturn Girl breaking *out*.  XS gives them the information about the 
Blight's history and the Doda that Saturn Girl had implanted in her 
mind.  The seven free Legionnaires capture a Blight patrol and take from 
them the device that identifies them to the Blight as one of their own. 
Using this, they plan to infiltrate the stem and destroy the Doda, which 
will ultimately cripple the Blight.

The infiltration goes mostly as planned till Cosmic Boy is about to kill 
the Doda. Saturn Girl stops him (by knocking him out).  She winds up 
linking M'onel more securely to the Doda, letting them throw off the 
Blight's control.  The Doda energy erupts in a blaze of light, causing the 
stem to explode. The Doda blossom with life-energy, as they were supposed 
to do in their natural life-cycle before the Blight had taken control of 
them, and this life-energy restores the hope and life-energy that the 
Blight had temporarily snuffed out. Not long after that, the captured and 
Blighted Legionnaires, as well as numerous other prisoners of the Blight, 
emerge from the remains of the stem and the assembled Legion looks at the 
Doda with hope and thinks of the challenges involved in repairing the 
Blight damage.  Cos, well, you know the Cos - Imra - Garth ouch here.

Leland McCauley fires most of the Workforce and replaces them with adult 
operatives. The United Planets votes to revoke the Legion's law-enforcement 
sanction and sanctions the Workforce in its place, and also to impeach R. 
J. Brande. While trying to fix a Stargate that had been corrupted by the 
Blight, Workforce member Meta causes a rift in space to open up, killing 
him. Lori Morning gives up her dial so that she and Brainiac 5 can escape 
the rift. Drake Burroughs, taking the name ERG-1, is accepted into the 
Legion. The Legion seals the rift, but not before eleven Legionnaires 
disappear into it.

The Legion is disbanded.  The Legion Subterfuge Squad is formed.

Legion Worlds takes place, including the encounter with Dyrk Magz on Braal.

Game start.

Dec. 9 log:  Tinya tells Brin "Cosmic Boy is around Legion World 
somewhere.  Busy, I imagine."

Dec. 13 log:  M'onel tells Brainy, "I'm not going to lie to you. I can't 
lie. Cosmic Boy and others... they're still functioning as the Legion. Dyrk 
arrested him, but with the help of some of the others, he escaped. I've 
been sent to bring him back into custody... along with the people who're 
helping him."
Dec. 14 logs:  M'onel takes Lyle into custody - one of Lyle's lines is 
"Tell it to Cos, if you can find him."  McCauley has Lyle reprogrammed and 
given a mission: "Yes, Mr. President. My mission is to arrest Rokk Krinn 
and any accomplices for the theft of your Footstep Cruiser. I am to track 
him to where he is and capture him." He pauses. "And once done, I will 
destroy Legion World, Mister President."
Dec. 16 log:  Lyle does the Trojan-Horse thing for McCauley, getting onto 
Legion World.  First words out of his (mind-controlled) mouth are "Gotta 
find Cos..."  And he does indeed go bolting through Legion World looking 
for Rokk.  So Lyle definitely thought Cos was there.  (Lyle is, by the way, 
taken down and the Blight-tech removed from him.)

Dec. 21 log:  Legion vs. two Roboticans
Dec. 23 log:  More Roboticans, looking for Brainy

Another Dec. 23 log:  Imra:  "Rokk is, well, I don't know where Rokk is 
right now."

Dec. 25:  Tinya:  "Rokk?  I imagine he plans to keep his hands full with 
Legion World."

Dec. 27, Lyle to M'onel:  "... and Rokk needs to stay here by his own 
admission."

Jan. 4:  Imra, using a power-boosting device Lyle came up with, manages to 
contact Jenni on Xanthu.

Jan. 8:  Brainy requests Lyle keep his plans for a non-terminal Footstep 
Drive secret: "You should not confide even in Cosmic Boy or Saturn Girl."

Jan. 9:  The Legion gets Thom and Jenni off of Xanthu.

Jan. 16:  Brainiac indicates that a Robotican was heading toward Braal...

Jan. 18:  Brainiac 5, about Braal:  "My calculations indicate two 
contingents of Robotican forces on their way there. The first contingent is 
composed solely of non-ferrous materials. This concerns me. They obviously 
have this assault planned. Therefore, the fact that the second contingent 
*is* ferrous indicates that Robotica expects, by the time the second 
contingent arrives, for Braal to be subdued...*or dead*."

Feb. 1:  Brainiac 5:  "Due to factors unknown to me at the time of 
calculation", 'unknown factors', he calls it -- he'd never admit to a 
simple miscalculation, "getting the improved footstep drive operational 
took longer than I anticipated. In this time, Robotica has taken Braal."
Lyle:   "Sprocking... Current status? Casualties?"
Brainiac 5:  "UP force detachments defending Braal were entirely 
annihilated", to the last man, not that Brainiac 5 thinks that he has to 
say that part out loud. "There is no more UP military presence on, or near, 
Braal. I have reports of three Oversight Watchers critically injured in 
combat." Then, another pause. "There are no known civilian casualties." A 
longer pause, to let that part sink in. "This worries me greatly."

Feb. 28 log:
"There have been more imminent matters to deal with than our psychological 
wellbeing", Brainiac 5 blows off Lyle's concern. "In any case, my 
twelfth-level intellect is easily capable of handling the stress caused by 
such events." Bull. "You would do better to direct your concern to the 
others. In particular, Saturn Girl has suffered perhaps the most, and not 
only because of the loss of her lover, but also because of the loss of 
trust in her, from many of the Lost Legionnaires. Ultra Boy -- Apparition 
-- even, perhaps, Umbra." So Apparition wasn't one of the Lost 
Legionnaires, but that's a nitpick Brainy isn't getting into at this point. 
"Chiefly, because of the telepathic illusions she created to maintain 
several Legionnaires' sanity. Creating an illusionary Apparition to keep 
Ultra Boy more stable -- creating an illusory scenario to make us think we 
had been rescued --" Things like that. Brainy's perhaps one of the most 
forgiving ones about those things. He would, given similar situations, 
perhaps not acted too unlike Imra. He can see the logic in her actions. But 
some other Legionnaires dismiss logic and only see the betrayal. "I believe 
Cosmic Boy will take this quite hard when he hears, if he hasn't already." 
Garth was perhaps Rokk's best friend, after all. "I suspect he knows, 
without even having to hear it."

Another of those long silences, and then Brainiac 5 stands up. "I have 
ascertained the Robotican plan for Braal. They are using Braalians to morph 
ferrous Roboticans' bodies. I have reports of several encounters with a 
gigantic humanoid consisting of thousands, perhaps millions of Roboticans 
fused together by the Braalians' powers. I am unable to ascertain whether 
the Braalians are allied with Robotica of their own free will, or due to 
pressure or threats. The fact however remains -- a single of these massive 
humanoids has singlehandedly demolished an entire Khundian armada."

"I am sure Rokk has," Lyle says. He's been filing reports like mad since 
getting Tinya off of Rimbor, months ago. And it looks like he'll be doing 
another one, before long. Grife, to tell this story again... "I will speak 
with Imra more," he says. "From what little I have spoken to her so far, 
she's carrying a lot of remorse for her actions." No one's beating Imra up 
more about those things than Imra himself: that much Lyle is positive of, 
having had to make hard decisions. The direction of the conversation is 
again diverted as Brainiac Five expounds on what the Roboticans have 
planned, after they've taken Braal, and the young Earthling's face grows 
three shades of colorless. "Sprocking... A Khundian Armada? Is it...Nura 
was with the Khunds, before they took refugees off of Xanthu before we got 
there..."

"I have not encountered Dreamer's name anywhere within the lists of 
confirmed casualties that I have been able to obtain", Brainy says. 
"Therefore, it is possible that she still survives. You might wish to 
inform Star Boy of these events, however." Because Brainy sure as hell 
isn't going to bother, himself. "I suspect I will be able to develop 
something to disrupt the Braalians' synchronicity with the Roboticans, but 
I will need further telemetry to perfect such equipment. I will need a 
Legion team to investigate one of these Roboticolossi."

"I'll tell him," Lyle replies. "Though I will have to take responsibility 
for whatever he does after I do." Nura's not comfirmed dead, but the 
Roboticans set Thom on edge already. If he even things she's gone... "The 
Braalians might be enslaved," he says. "I can't picture them doing this 
willingly...but their magnetic powers could easily scramble the Robotican 
processors unless they're already protected." Something to ask Rokk about, 
of course. "I'm getting right on that," he adds, bowing his head to the 
COluan again. He'll start arranging things from then on, right after he 
leaves the lab like he does at this moment. "Thank you," he says, before he 
disappears.

Mar 6 log, Tinya/Thom:  "I imagine Cos is on his way there, or doing 
something to help," she muses, with regard to Cosmic Boy's homeworld being 
attacked. "The minute he heard, he took off, and has been out of 
communication since." She's worried, but she doesn't say it out loud.

Thom Kallor nods his head. "I wish I knew. I would have went with him." He 
says simply. "I know how Robotica thinks. I might have bought them more 
time." He looks down as he thinks. Downtime? No way he will stand down now.

"You could try and find him, but knowing Cos, if he doesn't want to be 
found, lots of luck to you, Thom. If he gets in a position where he thinks 
he needs us, or we'll be of use -- you know he'll call. Trust him. He's 
always known what he was doing before."


Mar 7, Lyle to Triad:  "As the most senior currently active member, Lu, I 
was wondering if you can assist Imra and Rokk on revising the Constitution 
at a later date?" They're a bit busy now. "The three of you can easily get 
things up to date."
