[This is Jaime's first post to the network as Blue Beetle, and the name displayed on the tablet has changed accordingly. For any hackers out there, it can't be linked back to him as he's not actually using his tablet; he's posting directly from his armour.]

Hey. Blue Beetle here.

I know that after all this, the last thing we're thinking about is the UE's soldiers, but something's been bugging me. Everyone who was on the distraction team with me, you must have noticed the new soldiers, right? They didn't have anything like them on Elmer's world, and I'm pretty sure that war was an all-hands-on-deck sort of deal.

The normal soldiers were really well equipped as it was, but these ones must have been metas. They were stronger, and faster. It was so busy on the field that I don't know whether or not I was seeing ones with different powers or if they all had the same skillset going on, but the ones I noticed could fly and had elemental powers.

And they were small. Like children.


[Which is deeply off-putting.]

I'm not sure what their deal is, but consider this a heads-up for what the UE's got in store, and the kind of technology we might find on them. For some reason, I don't think an army full of tiny meta-soldiers is something they just managed to find one day. If any of you ran into them too, I think it'd be good if we could get some sort of list of how much they can actually do.

Oh yeah, one last thing. Since we don't exactly have space suits around here yet, if there's any maintenance that needs to be done outside the base, let me know. I'm guessing we don't have a whole lot of people who can breathe out there, and my suit's built for space travel.

We don't know what to look for. Maybe the Initiative keeps a file of UE personnel or influential engineers from history? Go back in time and sabotage the work.

Then let's rally our forces. We need to get a move on.

You said you have photos of the meta clones?
gevurah: (mmmmnope)

[ She hasn't given up her ID to anyone yet!!

She mulls over it for a minute. Is there a point anymore in hiding it among allies like the Blue Beetle? He's a good kid -- who would he tell? ]


Ten minutes.

[ As promised, ten minutes later she enters the observatory without her uniform. She looks tired and a touch paler than normal, but there's no hiding the way her eyes burn with curiosity at the thought of these photos she is about to see. ]

[ She immediately takes note of it, but otherwise she's giving him the mental thumbs up for it; in an enclosed space like this, secret identities are going to be a hassle to maintain for the duration.

She approaches him quickly. ]


Does the Initiative know about this?

They need to know.

[ That's all she will say on the matter, waiting for Beetle to reveal these photos for her to inspect. ]

[ Her eyes widen slowly upon close inspection of the body. ]

My god.

[ Whether or not it's a clone, it hasn't fully aged. It's definitely a child from her perspective. ]

[ Her gaze lingers where the picture once appeared before she slowly looks back to Beetle, brows knitted dangerously close together in heavy thought. ]

Their regular soldiers were already genetically enhanced. Nothing like the kids you've described.

They're building a super-super army.

[ Kate shakes her head. ]

No, there has to be a limit. Unless they're siphoning resources from other worlds...

[ Then they may as well call it unlimited. ]

I don't know much about cloning, unfortunately.

Do you mind sending a copy of those photos to my tablet? The name's Kate Kane.

I haven't figured it out yet.
