The Armory of Random Objects lives up to its name: Its an enormous, multilevel room with long standing walls, sort of like the shelves of a library. Every wall is set up with a sort of pegboard design and hundreds if not thousands of objects hang from hooks and bolts and slings and magnetic connectors. It gives the impression of an enormous archive of objects set up much like the tool wall in a garage.
El Escuchador gets a fist sized, clear plastic bag filled with round hard candies. They could be mistaken for marbles, but they have a large colorful label showing a cartoon child eating one. He also grabs a large square glass pane, about an inch and a half thick and maybe two feet on each side. And a dot matrix printer.
Hero gets a pressure cooker, A battery powered weed wacker, and a three foot long saguaro cactus.
The observation chambers are simply that; reinforced rooms in which things can be observed. There's a central hallway and then the rooms on either side of it. Each has an airlock door and big view screens to see inside. The chambers have different configurations, between simple white rooms to rooms that look more like standard prison cells, to rooms that resemble full normal rooms. Some are even nicer than the Luchador rooms.
Move to the hangar with the speed of sound! This will give me plenty time to answer a few letters of my fans at high speed.
Name: Golden Star
Description: A black mask with a big and very bright golden star covering the frontal part of it. It comes with a black martial arts Gi with a golden belt. The suit also includes a golden cape with a star pattern that is always waving in the wind, even indoors.
Gimmick: Famous [2]: The iconic suit is exactly the same as the one used by the superhero protagonist in the global hit movie "Star of Justice". This does absolutely nothing remarkable, but maybe it will attract more fans and extra acclaim from the masses when doing heroic, noncombat actions like: doing heroic poses, heroic entrances/escapes, helping a cat stuck in a tree, heroic smiling at the camera, heroic boasting to the enemy, etc.
Weakness: Fight? [5]: Wait, you mean REAL fighting? Golden Star doesn't know how to perform any type of attack but basic punches, and these are even weaker than those of a normal human. He's incredibly weak in strenght and terribly unskilled in combat, with a high tendency to self-injury.
Signature: Punch of Justice! [5]: Golden Star calls upon the power of every single fan around the universe and uses all of their strenght for a single, ultimate attack. He punches the enemy with the strenght of a thousand suns, completely obliterating everything in it's path. The attack deals massive damage to anything it connects with and destroys anything it collides with. It takes some time to wind up, leaves the user exhausted and it's destructive potential doesn't discern between ally or enemy.

The fan letters - there are 3- are all just thanking the team in general. Guess you're not well enough known individually to get your own letters yet. Still, you send them back letters worded as politely and graciously as you can, trying to be both humble while also accepting their praise.

Everyone piles into the shuttle and the passenger facing screens turn on while Golden Eagle pilots the ship towards earth. There's a short display of the League's logo and then some sort of lightning fast scroll of legal text before the video starts. One good thing about the ubiquitous LUCHATV cameras is they always gave great coverage of any threat. The threat in this case is pictured as a silver disk so standard that it might as well come straight out of "The Day the Earth Stood Still". Diagrams of scale come up showing that its not even that big, maybe 20-30 feet in diameter with a raised bulge in the center and a flat bottom. A diagram pops up showing the saucer's path, moving relatively slowly across the greater Asian territories and out over the sea colonies in the Indian ocean. It spirals slowly in towards one of the larger colonies, marked as "SHINDIA". There's a quick flash of various protocols used to try and establish contact: All earth languages, all known alien languages, prime numbers, whale song, the standards. All are marked "NO CONTACT".
Golden Eagle then runs down the standard physical encounter protocols, which you've all heard a million times by this point: Effectively just observe and let the welcoming committee do their job. Only engage if the aliens do something hostile, and even then only protect others until it becomes obvious the hostile action is intentionally malevolent instead of just a misunderstanding. Golden Eagle emphasizes that last point; Earth almost went to war with Mars the first time the Martian's landed and their greeting was misconstrued as an attempt to strangle the emissary. Apparently the welcoming committee is already waiting at the projected landing site; for the moment you'll just be acting as security; unless things get weird or dangerous.
The video cuts off and Golden Eagle asks for questions.
