Nah, there's no Foundation. Lardy left some money to certain people special to him, but the rest was put into a fund to settle all those lawsuits brought against him...mostly palimony suits.

Lardy, regarding those palimony lawsuits. Just dare them to try and get a DNA sample from your algorithm. Deny everything.

No big whoop for me, Semi...I'm just his algorithm. But the real deal was completely incinerated, anyway, so no DNA samples forthcoming, I guess.

Actually, hot chocolate sounds really good. With little marshmallows, please?

Clive that was amazing! We made it here in 1.3 seconds! Do you have all the same powers as your dad?

Pretty much, Tim. I can't do all the tricks that he can and I'm not in his league power level-wise. So far, I do the teleporting and force shields pretty well.
<bows his head>
I've had some communication with the Order of Lard Knights. Seems they want me to come to the monastery and learn the ways of the Lard Force.
<looks at Tim>
Dad was unusual among the Knights. Most of them live at the monastery all their lives, but he snuck out one day and met Lash and Shady on that fateful trip and never looked back.
I want to learn more about my power, but I also know I don't want to go there under false pretenses. I just started this life I've been blessed with--I couldn't just insulate myself from the galaxy after what I've seen.
<Cramer gives them their drinks>
Thanks, Cramer!
<sips>
On the other hand, life can be...confusing, you know?

I finally graduated from the LMB Academy a few months back and, upon graduation, Rocky sponsored me for full LMB membership. So I'm a full member now. I've wanted that--since I was a kid and your dad and the others founded the LMB eight years and five days ago! And I'm so happy I am! But--well, after years of wanting it so badly, now that I finally have it, I almost feel like there should be more to it.
{Smiles at Clive}
My powers aren't nearly as impressive as yours. I can tell what time it is anywhere in the universe; I can tell the exact age of any object and I can tell exactly how long it has been since an event has transpired. Rocky took me under his wing--so to speak and I think that's how I got in. I'm not sure what he saw, but he says I'm going to be a great hero. {Sigh} Where would we be without Rockhopper Lad?

Yeah, where would I be? Mr. Rockhopper is absolutely the greatest! I honestly don't know what I would have done without him. He's been so understanding! I kinda got thrown into living without a parachute, and he just stepped up, y'know?
Even with Dad back...well, I'm sure you know his memory's totally gone?
<Tim nods>
Thing is, even if Dad were all there, it would probably be awkward for us. I call him 'Dad', but the only relationship we had was that he helped program a robot and gave it the chance to be something more. When he created me, he was busy trying to start a life with Dru. It's...
<tears up a little>
...it's really strange for me. But Mr. Rockhopper has really been there.
How did you come to know him?

When I first enrolled at the LMB Academy three years, two months and ten days ago, Rocky hadn't been on Legion World for very long. As a new member of the LMB, he was asked to talk to our class. I had so many questions! He offered to stay after class to talk to me. I bent his ear--or whatever he has--for forty-seven minutes. Then he offered me a part-time job at the Rookery and it just went from there. Soon I was his scheduler when he was Deputy Leader and then I got some experience with the Security Office and then I graduated and here I am. He's been there for me through it all. And, I have to say, I know it's totally unrequited and it's not at all what my relationship to him is like, but I've always had a bit of a crush on him.
