Lori goes compliment-fishing from Ferro after helping the team out in one of her H-Dial identities
Contents
Team Work
Synopsis
Lori Morning interrupts Ferro while drawing a picture of the Legionnaires - himself, Saturn Girl, Live Wire, Cosmic Boy and Kid Quantum - who had been on a recent mission. She asks about the mission, and he begins to relate it - an unidentified object had crashed at Peachfuzz Harbour, Old Georgia; and the Legion had been asked to respond. On seeing it, KQ2 moans that it is "just" a "piece of old space-junk", and Saturn Girl slaps her down before it opens and she senses a thought pattern - so alien she has trouble reading it, before it retaliates and almost knocks her out.
Ferro catches her before she falls, and Live Wire angrily blasts it, only for it to return his own blast, knocking him off his feet. In turn, Kid Quantum's powers have little effect, and it acidicly burns Ferro's iron form before KQ2 manages to pry him loose, and Cosmic Boy surrounds it in scrap iron.
Relaxing for a moment, they reflect that it must have been aimed at them, and Saturn Girl says she didn't detect any specific thoughts, "just a deep hostility." Moments later, however, it bursts from its' iron prison, and almost hits Ferro, before he is teleported away by a purple woman who introduces herself as "Blip".
In the present, Lori talks Blip up, but Ferro says he could have got away on his own. Lori reflects to herself that he is probably right, but that - as Blip, thanks to her H-dial - no-one else but her could have come to the rescue so soon.
Back during the mission, the green blob divides into five pieces, each overpowering a different Legionnaire. Lori/Blip teleports Ferro out of his unit's grasp - directly between Cosmic Boy and his blob! However, Cosmic Boy's enemy, while magnetically attracted to Ferro, doesn't have the same acidic effect on him, and the Legionnaires quickly realise that each section had specialised to fight one Legionnaire, switch enemies and defeat it. Lori/Blip comments that "at least she helped them figure that out", but when Ferro points out her failure to think before she acted could have killed him, and she teleports away petulantly, while Cosmic Boy reflects that, hopefully, Earth's defences could discover who sent it - and, if it was some sort of test, hopefully they scared off the tester.
In the present, Ferro says that they still know nothing more about the blob - but that Saturn Girl had felt something "familiar" about Blip before she abruptly teleported away. Lori claims that Blip had solved the whole problem, but Ferro restates that she was reckless and could just as easily have made things worse - but he'd still like to thank her, and shows Lori his latest sketch, one of Blip, which he gives Lori when asked.
On her way back to her room, Lori reflects that she should be more careful next time - and make sure Saturn Girl isn't around!

Notes
Placement
Given that Lori's dial is confiscated after the time stoppage of Dark Circle Rising, it needs to be before DCR. Lori, in turn, places this after her turn as "Galaxy Girl" in Legion of Super-Heroes v4 #105 in her confessions in Legionnaires #69. And since Cosmic Boy is present, it must be before the mission involving him which XS departs for in Legionnaires #62 after her talk with Lori.
The only place this can go, therefore, where Cosmic Boy is available, Lori has the dial and it is after the timeslip is between LSHv4 #105 and Lgs #62. This is an awkward fit, since the ending means both the framing sequence and the "the other day" mission must go in this gap, and Lori must be stretching things by calling the mission "Just the other day" in Lgs #69, but putting it earlier reverses the order of her turn as Blip and her whacking the Time Trapper with a great big hammer.
Errata
- How, exactly, did Ferro "bring" the pencils and paper back to the 30th Century? He was snagged by Cos while expecting to be left behind in Legion of Super-Heroes v4 #100 and had nothing except Koko and the costume he was wearing.
Other stories
The other stories feature Wonder Woman (Hippolyta)/Johnny Thunder (set in 1950); Green Arrow (Connor Hawke); Captain Marvel; Superboy (Kon-El) (drawn by former Legion artist Steve Lightle, who also drew the cover); the Earth Angel Supergirl and a Tale of the Bizarro World.
