Here are some notes on our "2995" Legion Mayfair Sourcebook. We're currently in the section covering Legionnaires, who are listed in the order they joined...
....PRINCESS PROJECTRA : The Projectra section pretty much sums up the strong character of the Orandi Princess with her answer to the “Legion Groupie” question “If you were a flower, what kind of flower would you be?” Her grim answer: “Like Orando, a beautiful Fire-Rose, with deadly thorns for those who dare attack it.”
One treat to re-reading this Sourcebook that I seldom get when looking back on the comics is that I’ve forgotten a great deal of what we put in the Sourcebook so it can really surprise me, and of those nice little surprises is that the naive writer of Jeckie’s “Legion Groupie” entry makes a superficial deduction and guesses that there might be romance in the cards for the Princess and “noble knight’” Ferro Lad -- which makes some sense since they did join at the same time. For me, it was a good chance to show how often people who pose as “insiders” have to pretend they have some sort of privileged knowledge even when their guesses are no better than their readers’.
We also learn how and why Orando was back in the Legion’s dimension with Jeckie no longer in her “Sensor Girl” persona – the planet was dying in the new dimension they impetuously shifted to, and the Council of Orakills came to realize Orando’s woes weren’t being caused by the invasion of 30th century sci/tech -- in fact, their determination to hide the planet from modern advances by living in isolation and superstition had nearly killed their world.
Jeckie renounces the “Sensor Girl” penance she’d submitted to and proudly vows to lead the planet to an exciting, prosperous future.
