Character Bio: Quantum Meruit ID#12332

Dr. VonRickter
Before the Morphon Storms, I was a Defense Attorney.
Paid off my Law School by a Stint in the U.S. Navy's Judge Advocate General's Pentagon Office of Fraud Investigations and earned the Rank of Commander in my eight years before getting married.
Before...

Before, I was Jeanie's Husband and Father to Debbie & Danny Jr. just watching a Orioles-Senators Baseball Game: until the First Inter-dimensional Gates opened in the Washington D.C. Invasion and either the Rift or the Firestorm following it, took them away from me.
"My Very Reason for Living"; or so I thought...
so long ago now, it seems.

Every Country's Capitol City on this Planet was obliterated, as if to "Decapitate a Snake" and everything else in a 60 mile radius. Rome got hit Twice because of Vatican City. Between little Liechtenstein & Bern Switzerland's Portals , both countries were wiped from this Earth.
"They say I'm Lucky",
surviving the Morphonic Cyclone that followed "at all", all the way back up in South Baltimore, doing working a Pro Bono case for the Firm I used to work at before these Aliens-
before...
before what I have now mutated into & what I have become.
"More than Human":
especially when an Eight-Story Brick Building collapses on you and you shrug it off like Snow on a Wool Overcoat.
Yet I am not alone,
with the entire Atmosphere of this planet being "Morphonized" and affecting almost everyone of Post-puberty Age, when it all went down what seems a few years ago.
The Usual "Criminal Element" has been enhanced also, and I'm stopping more and more Mentally Ill with "Morphon-Ding" as it's being called now or those who cannot "handle the Morphonizing", usually Thievery.
Every Law Enforcement Department accepts our Help now, fortunately...
We have to unite Together, People!

"What's left" of our World's Government Leaders, have been slowly assembling in New Amsterdam, at the old North American United Nations building , asking those of us "Who Can Help", to meet there.
Yes.
"Humanity is in Need of Heroes Rising to Defend Life Itself" they said.
I concur wholeheartedly.
"Going after the Wildfire kills the Embers", an old Master Chief once told me.

-Quantum Meruit-
The Legal Latin term for "What is owed Him".
This is not 'Revenge': this Alien Invasion is a War, pure and Simple.
"A Battle of Two Dimensions, Colliding & Intersecting", they say.
Well:
My Commissioned Officers' Oath has no Expiration Clause.
And I am not alone in 'Losing Everyone & Everything Dear" in this: so I'm going to do my damnedest to send them all back to their Hell Dimension.

_ _ _

After fashioning 'a Uniform' of sorts, this "Options Oracle"
-One of Their Dimensions "Good Guys"-
Sends out a Repeating Message for Nine days straight, an Explanation-of-Sorts, of this Evil group called "Legion", and how, in past Generations they've used their Morphons first to knock out a planet's population, then to terraform it for whatever their particular need may be.
He Did give Us "Hope", by saying we Humans failed to be Incapacitated and that Some of Us have now learned to use "the Legion's own Powers against them now" .
That we "Unique Humans on your Unique Planet, Match All of the Six Cores of Being-Power, that Legion Thrive" upon: that You may Finally Help us in eliminating them" (¿"us"? Objection! Law's #1 Pet Peeve: New Evidence)
He also said, "I (he) would soon arrive to give further Assistance"...

But I cannot wait.
I'm off to New Amsterdam, see what I can do from this new HQ.
"Rumor has it" there's some kind of special operations outfit there, some new, Governmental "Bureau of Alien Dimensional and Galactic Enigmas" or B.A.D.G.E.
Something like that, as I remember that "Rumors & Bad Checks both Fly the Fastest" 20th Century quote from College...
and I don't need "an Oracle" to see that this was a Preplanned, Deliberate Attack on us.
If it has anything to do with sending back these Demons & closing these Alien Rifts: I want in.
