STATE OF THE PLOT UPDATE/DISCUSSION This is your periodic upcoming plots update/discussion. Based on player input and how quickly the game moves along, some plots may have their order or dates be shifted around in the future, or new plots may be added, but this is the current schedule of the game's upcoming mod plots. THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASSThey call her the Queen of Fables. Tsarista, the archetypal Evil Queen, has plagued the Justice League several times in the past, bringing the stories of Earth, Mars, and Krypton to life in an attempt to rule the world. When someone unwittingly releases her from her prison one thousand years later, she reacts with a vengeance, bringing stories to life as she aims for total conquest of Earth...and beyond. When she's capable of harnessing the power of human imagination and bringing any story to life, can the Legion stand up to this fabricator of fiction? Or will they end up being the 'evil generals' that the so-called Good Queen must conquer to regain what she considers to be her rightful throne? ✦ Size: Gamewide plot, opt in. ✦ Start Date: 3-22-17 ⟶ 4-08-17 THE SPIES WHO SPROCKED USAfter the Legion's Espionage Division is re-formed, several Legionnaire good at black ops work and hacking are sent to track down the UP Councilmembers that have been betraying the UP and the Legion to Chronoblivion, to bring them to justice once and for all, and find out more about the Big C. ✦ Size: Limited plot, opt in.

However, these energy sources lie in a sacred area only accessible through a single access point -- and people are only allowed through after a marriage ritual. Asking special permission for access, or for the objects to be handed over by the Olumites has led to their refusal, leading to the Legion sending a team of holo-disguised Legionnaires to get fake-married. If the Legionnaires don't complete the sacred journey, the marriages are automatically nullified, anyway, allowing the fake couples to simply take the objects and leave. However, the Legionnaires must pass through the rituals (in an alien version of the Newlyweds' game), to successfully access Olum's sacred lands. ✦ Size: Gamewide plot, opt in. ✦ Start Date: 4-26-17 ⟶ 5-10-17 THE OTHER MOTHERA secret door appears on Legion World that only younger characters (mostly teens) can see. In it is a strange woman that tells the teen characters she's their Other Mother, and she lives in a fantastical place that makes all their dreams come true. However, she wants the kids to stay with her forever, and the more they say no, the more violent she becomes. She starts to attack the adult characters and staff through the exits from her lair that exist in the vents, and because they're psionically influenced to ignore and forget her, they're helpless against her attacks. It's up to the kids to go into the Other Mother's world and stop her once and for all, to save the adults and save themselves from a gruesome fate. ✦ Size: Limited plot, opt in. (Players may only send (1) character and characters must be teens.) Set during "To have and To Hold." ✦ Start Date: 4-26-17 ⟶ 5-10-17 GODS AMONG USWhen four otherdimensional time travelers start meddling with history, the Legion's timeline starts to fall apart. In a last ditch attempt to save the present, Brainiac 5 sends several Legionnaires into the past, so they can thwart the time travelers in their attempts to destroy the future. The Legionnaires will have to protect several of the greatest heroes of the 21st century -- Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Oracle, and Green Lantern -- to keep them from being killed before they're ever superheroes. In the process of saving the past, the Legionnaires will find themselves in a dystopian version of the 21st century, where Superman is an insane dictator that rules over the Earth, and will have to outsmart his regime to get access to the time travel device that will let them fix everything and stop the four meddling time travelers once and for all. ✦ Size: Limited plot, opt in.

The only beings immune to the nano-virus are the Roboticans, due to their zombie preparedness technological protections against viruses and outside interference.

The Legionnaires that respond will have to decide where they stand on protecting the lives of the Spectre's villainous victims, and will have to figure out who among them can wield the Spear of Destiny against the Spectre.
