Dev looks from the fading hologram to Lardy, "okay. I trust you. I want to know more about this bot program...and you said that Question Kid had a lead on Cobie and Ex...where are they?"

They're currentl;y at Cobie's Midnight Lounge.
<looks at Dev>
Yeah, I know...about the bots. Everything I just told you is true...but I've also been using the funds I've obtained to help protect Legion World from the upcoming threat.
I've assessed our defenses, and there are LOTS of holes that could be exploited. For one thing, our actual active LMB roster is fairly small at the moment. Many members are offworld and on inactive status...
<bows head>
...doesn't help that all of my "Lard Lad" powers are gone. You wouldn't believe how much of a deterrence I was in and of myself with the power levels I had.
<looks up>
So I've been raising funds to build a robotic defense corps that can help fill those holes. I'm looking to build about a thousand high-quality powered bots. As Chief, it's ultimately my responsibility to keep Legion World protected.
<eye contact>
So there's full disclosure...I can't let word of this get out to our enemies, so no one knows about it but me and my closest confidantes, including you. I hope you'll still trust me.

"You got it. We need to get over to the Lounge. If this means what I think it does...this is gonna be harder than anyone thinks. If Cobie has him and Ex at this point...we could be in trouble."
Dev looked at Lardy,"there's something you have to know about Furball..."

Dev knew the the Chief was getting impatient.
"I'll tell you on the way to the Lounge," he said as he ppicked the Chief up and flew out the doors of the casino.
"You remember when we all got rebooted or whatever it was that happened to us...Loser became the snake, one of us switched genders I think...well I became Furball. The thing is...it was me, and it wasn't me. My mother, who is actually Durlan, although my dad didn't know that until I was born. She was also a geneticist who apparently used my DNA to clone me when I was a teenager. She apparently spliced my DNA with that of some Lupine creatures from some world I've never heard of and vreated Furball. Here's the thing though, she used the disturbance to switch us. That's why he stayed around after I returned. The other really important thing is that he is a hell of a lot stronger and smarter than any of us thought, and he can switch between human and Furball forms. He kept it hidden for a long time, because while he knew what he was...I didn't. He only told, and showed me a few years ago,,,swearing me to secrecy. He also said that he trusted only one other person on Legion World with this knowledge, but refused to tell me who..."
"Des. Crap!"
"That would seem to be the case. I now think that he has been working for Des for years in an even more covert capacity than I have."

*Though a recent disturbance caused some damage and calamity on Legion World, the Casino & Grand Resort quickly got back up and operating and continued to take Legion World’s citizenry for all they are worth. Hundreds of citizens enjoyed playing slot machines, blackjack and numerous other gambling games.*
*Very quietly, a bee flew by one of the guests, lightly stinging them; the guest slapped the bee but it did not die*
*Across the room, another bee landed on another guest, again stinging them—this one, an elderly woman, cried out in pain*
*Upon looking up, others realized there were numerous bees in the casino. In fact, it appeared they were everywhere*
*Panic begins to set in. The citizens look to the exits but there, they see the largest amount of bees. There they see swarms*
Thousands upon thousands of bees descend on the casino in a vengeance leaving overwhelming property damage in their wake. Many ran and made it out alive feeling a pain unlike any other in their life. Most, however, simply suffered numerous bite after bite and sting after sting, and simply died on the spot from the immense pain after nervous system shut down and the pain caused them to suffer heart attacks.
The Red Bee was back.

Furball and Hot Chick land outside the Casino.
Furball goes in again, and comes out after a minute.
He looks sat Hot Chick, "Hon, I need you to take me to the coroners office as fast as possible. This is a little side trip, but I saw caught wind of something in there that can;t wait. I then need to do a trip around the city," he points up, "...up there."

<Cobalt is caught in the explosion but at the last minute, Hot Chick pulls him towards her and Furball>
...
<He tries to speak but he can barely keep his eyes open from the force of the blast. As he slips towards unconsciousness, he looks at Hot Chick, maybe truly looking at her for the first time, and wonders exactly who she is…>

<Cobalt passes out from the pain of the burns on his body>
