Well, gentle-sentients, I appreciate your time today, and look forward to future discussions on the Poverty Relief Initiative.
*Cobalt Kid stands up, shakes hands, and allows the Rimborian ambassadors to exit the room, as he stays behind, pretending to file away papers and finish up omnimails. As Ambassador of Legion World to the United Planets, he used his role to secure a meeting at the Rimborian Consulate purposely this morning.
Looking around, he at last sees an omni-file left for him by one of the Rimborian Ambassadors...aka, one of the UP spies.
Carefully he reads it.*
Dammit...Peebs has no idea what he's walking into...
(Rimbor is a breeding crime for crime and terrorism. Any activity there runs up against space gangsters or worse. Peebs thinks he's taking a few LMBers there on a run-of-the-mill super missions...and he's about to run up against one of the worst terrorist groups in the United Planets.)
*Cobalt looks at the file one more time before switching it off. The name of the group echoes in his mind. The Sword of Carnage.*

Invisible Brainiac and Blaze held hands as they watched the Sun set over the verdant green hills of the island they had set on.
"Mmm... I can't wait to see the rest of the galaxy..." Blaze said as he held IB's hand. "With you, of course."
IB smiled back as he squeezed Blaze's hand. "Can't believe we're finally doing what we've always talked about! And of course, we'll finish Earth first. And then..."
"And then Naltor? And Vyrga, and R... what was that planet? Rimbor?"
"Oh silly, no. It's Rann you wanted to visit, remember when I told you about the crystal falls? I'd be surprised if you wanted to go to Rimbor."
"Why? What's on Rimbor?"
"Here... Encyclopedia Galactica says, Rimbor is a planet without children. It's because Rimborian young have to grow up fast or else they never grow up at all. Ostensibly, the planet's main inudstry is recycling for other planets, but it's been whispered that smuggling, drug trafficking and even organ running are the real main source of revenue. Although the government has, in recent years, taken a tougher stance against these illegal activities, the Rimborian underworld is entrenched enough to wait out these efforts. Many of the galaxy's best bodyguards come from Rimbor, because you learn to fight almost as soon as you learn to walk."
Blaze whistled. "Whew! Sounds like a place I wouldn't go to without plenty of backup."
"I think any three or four LMBers would be enough, but yeah... even with my invisibility I wouldn't want to go alone."
