After going to the Farmhouse of Justice, Britannica is able to ascertain that the JLR are in Big City, battling several mini Vegi-La’s and a giant mutated version. It was on a cable news channel.
Britannica uses his information gateway ability to teleport to the Big City Library (conveniently located directly behind Ambassador Shrinkle’s private chambers…
With his Britannerang at the ready, he sneaks into the Ambassadors chambers to find…
Brit: Registered Member #552!
RM552: Brit!
Am I glad to see you
Brit: What’s the situation?
RM552: Not good. Midnight’s out cold. He’s been infected with poison ivy from the fake Vegi-La’s.
Brit: [Checking on Midnight Spectre 2.0] Good grief. He doesn’t look good.
RM552: I know. Hybrid…
Brit: Who?
RM552: One of the new members. He’s one of the werewolves over there [indicating the on-going battle between Hybrid and the Wolfman]
Brit: Which one?
RM552: Don’t know. I’ve lost track.
Brit: You said one of the new members?
RM552: Yeah we had a membership drive, but things are going to be tough. There’s this team of villains calling themselves the Crime Syndicate of Fiction.
Brit: Don’t tell me. Professor Moriarty?
RM552: How’d you know?
Brit: He’s always in fictional villain groups.
RM552: So where’s Di Bat Pho?
Brit: Ah… she left the JLR for another team of heroes.
RM552: Heh. You’d never see Cowgirl Jack do that.
Brit: Probably… Well it looks like I’m going to have to find some reinforcements. I’ll be back!
And with that Britannica leaves the Ambassador’s chambers.
RM552: Hey! You could have released me first!

Back at the Database, Britannica is pulling several books off the shelves of library collection…
Brit: Websites for Dummies…
Super-sites: The Superheroes guide to the internet…
Lonely Message Board…
Heroes-R-Us: A directory of Superheroes. That should do for now.
Britannica places the books in various pockets in his costume.
Brit: But first, I should try a bit closer to home…
So Britannica walks up to the Penultimate MBL HQ...
