***Attention all security personnel***
The chief is down as most of you know. I don't know if he'll pull through or not. We all know the drill though, so let's make him proud. Arachne, Jailbait Lass and My Whee Fem are with you, take them and do what you can to get the citizenry out of harms way. Don't engage the Dark Oval troops, call for backup if you need, but stay low and out of the fray. Too many innocents are being hurt. The rest of you: continue to resist on all fronts, uniforms follow the lead of the senior officers. I've sent the Loose Cannon squad down to the lower levels. No Dark Ovals that go down there will come back up, Khel-Lag-Ghan, Rrgggz and Mer-Tog will make sure of that. I'll try and maintain communications throughout, but when I leave here I may have to resort to using my forcefield powers, and it'll be goodye Legionworld Retirement Castle and hello Legionworld Daycare. I've got some ideas but so far a good plan is eluding me.
Matlock out.

Hrun, find Everyday Girl and get her here. I'm leaving this for her: my old mechanized combat armor. It's old but I had it refitted to her. The tech is antique but they knew some tricks back in the old days. She'll figure it out.
Find the fake Ranger and hang onto him. Let him help if he offers, but if he looks at you or Everyday Girl crosseyed, put your axe in him.

As many of you know, I am Chief of Security here on Legion World, and it is a position that I hold for life. I cannot be removed from office, not even by the LMB Leader, unless I die in battle or willingly resign. This is how it has always been, though many have criticized this long-standing tradition.
This stems mainly from two things: (1) the initial days of the LMB, where I was named ‘Leader of the Espionage Squad’ for life, where the leader could not replace me and (2) what is referred to as ‘the Dark Stu Saga’ where the rest of the LMB and Legion World were at odds with a Leader that attempted to dominate and control us all, and it became evident that necessary balances needed to be put into place that the leader could not control.
Given recent events, I feel that there needs to a more interconnected feel between the Security Office and the LMB Leadership, so that a semblance of ‘chain of command’ can be heightened, especially in times of crisis. Further, my long-standing role as Security Chief of Legion World has been a true honor and I feel we accomplished a great many things, but as the years have gone by now for some time, I feel that it has become simply ‘status quo’, and that change is often necessary.
However, the Security Office is like a child to me. It is now (3) separate threads and holds its own history that is interconnected to the history of the LMB and Legion World. As it’s grown, I’ve come to love the idea of it, and I fear that should I ever leave the office, it’d be allowed to flounder, or be used in a way that I would not feel appropriate.
Having said all of this, I will now take some active steps to reform the office to be a somewhat new entity. In doing this, I will use the powers of Security Chief, as is my right.
First Effective immediately, I name Abin Quank and Matlock as Co-Chiefs of Security to this office. They will have all of the powers that the Chief of Security has with the exception that they cannot name another as Security Chief. They will remain in this position for life, unless one of the following happens (1) they die in battle or (2) they retire willingly. Both have had remarkable careers as members of the Security Office, the LMB and citizens of Legion World, and it is not necessary for me to speak of this. Any replacement for Matlock or Abin Quank must have the official approval of Cobalt Kid.
Second Throughout the Constitutional Convention, many people helped create various articles and clauses on the Security Office that were extremely useful. I must publicly acknowledge the great efforts of Reboot. Unfortunately, that Constitution was never ratified and made into law, and has no legitimacy, despite all the best efforts of the many great citizens of Legion World. I now, as is in my power, will officially create such an office.
The Security Committee will be a committee of six individuals that oversee all of the functions of the Office of Security. They can object, if they are in agreement, to the acts of the security officers, and they can work in unison to help create initiatives for the Security Office. This is not an elected committee. No member can be replaced by the public at large.
The committee will be as follow: Cobalt Kid (Chairperson) Abin Quank Matlock Arachne Invisible Brainiac The current LMB Deputy Leader
The reasoning is simple – I’ve explained my love of this office and my invested interest in its survival and use. Therefore, I will serve as Chairperson on this committee for the duration of my lifetime, unable to be removed, in keeping up with the traditions of my position of Chief of Security.
Abin Quank and Matlock will serve, as they are the two Co-Chiefs of Security.
Arachne and Invisible Brainiac hold the ranks ‘Senior Security Officer’ for the continued service throughout this office’s existence, and the role they have played in defending Legion World throughout all of its various crises.
The inclusion f the deputy leader addresses various concerns that I have. I want to be able to bridge the gap between the LMB leadership and the Security Office, and by having the deputy leader serve on this committee, it allows the LMB leadership to have an invested role in how the office is run. Also, it gives the LMB Deputy Leader an additional power to an otherwise blurrily-defined role. Further, the long-standing theme that this office can stand in opposition to the LMB Leader remains, in that the deputy leader serves as a buffer between the two.
Essentially, the inclusion of the deputy leader will ensure that the Security Office by proxy reports to the Deputy Leader, ergo, the Deputy Leader and Security Office report to the LMB Leader. However, given that the Deputy Leader can be outvoted, this process can be blocked. Further, the Deputy Leader can use his or her judgment in deciding if the office should follow the orders of the leader in the extreme case that a tyrant comes to power.
My role, as Committee Chairperson will be to vote only when a tie-breaker is needed. However, I will be able to express my opinions whenever I see fit. Only I will have the ability to remove Abin Quank or Matlock, and only I can replace them with a candidate that I see fit.
Third The Security Office now is structured in the following way:
Co - Chiefs of Security: Abin Quank Matlock
Deputy Chief of Security, Honorary Space Ranger Position Everyday Girl
Senior Security Officer : Invisible Brainiacseniority decision making over other security officers excluding the Chiefs of Security. Arachneseniority decision making over other security officers excluding the Chiefs of Security.
Head of Mystic Crimes Division: Pagan Lass seniority decision making over other security officers in mystical natured crimes excluding the Chief and co-Chiefs of Security, and Senior Security Officers.
Security Officers: Shark Lad Blockade Boy Dev-Em Kara Furball Future Dedman Frio Caliente Disaster Boy Hrun the Barbarian Stoopid Cat Polar Boy LardLad Other unnamed rank and file officers Supergirl Robots, volume 4.1 Please also be aware that there are three ultra-secret security officers on Legion World, whose names I will not, and am under no obligation to reveal.
Executive Assistant to the Chairperson on the Committee of Security Jailbait Lass
Assistant to Chiefs of Security My Whee Fem
Fourth Effective immediately, I resign from my position as Chief of Security and move to my position as Chairperson on the Security Committee. Ipso facto, Matlock and Abin Quank are now Co-Chiefs of Security.
I go now, to further serve Legion World, and begin a quest for new challenges and new positions to help further the dream of the LMB and Legion World. I will remain committed and invested in the Security Office, but will allow others to take up some of the mantle and work as they see fit. I encourage others to involve themselves in this office and work for the security of Legion World.
Security Office, I will be there with you always, ready to serve by your side.
- Cobalt Kid Chairperson, Security Committee

There Lolita, I've done it. I feel both relieved and saddened.
<walks through lobby with her>
We'll still have my office here and I'll still be a part of this place. After all--its what I know. But this way the Security Office has some level of independence from Cobalt Kid, even if I oversee things occassionally. Now we can move on to new adventures.
<puts arm around Jailbait Lass>
And you work for me, always, not them. Now excuse me a second...
<walks over to Emerald Empress and Space Ranger's statues>
Its just not the same without you both. I'm off to new things, to make you both proud I hope...
