The team prepares to invade and liberate another world that suffers under the oppression of Mys-Tech.Note: The top left panel erroneously puts the speech bubble on Roadie instead of Matthew.SynopsisMatthew Ryan flees the shadows of his new home. Despite his escape, he runs headlong into the Shadow Riders. They are cutting up a cadaver and explain to him that he, too, needs to die to join their cause. He accuses them of being as bad as MyS-Tech before he is awakened from the nightmare by Roadie. The rest of the Shadow Riders enter his room and Roadie explains that Matthew is not too keen on helping the team breach MyS-Tech. Vorin doesn't care, however, as Matthew's powers have given Vorin the means to finally return to his home world.As the group leaves Matthew's quarters, Boot can't help but wonder if finding Matthew was too serendipitous. The last mission got them Matthew and information on a wormhole to Vorin's world; things shouldn't be that easy when Vorin has been trying to get vengeance for 600 years. Boot is convinced that MyS-Tech has planned some sort of elaborate trap. Grunt and the Stranger agree. Vorin can't pass up this chance. He's been patient these many years so as not to jump the gun and cause a time paradox worthy of universal destruction. In sum, the time is now to act.Just then, a Warheads group arrives on Vorin's home world. They are training group and are led by Che. The land is barren. The troop is suddenly attacked by the Harpies - now dubbed the Slauter-House Six. The team is instantly ripped to pieces. Che is oddly taken captive, spared to greet Porlock to the alien world. Porlock laments the loss of Warhead troops killed but explains that he really didn't care about getting new hires for the Warhead program. The drill was simply a test for the Slaughter-House Six. He expects a greater opponent will be arriving soon and he wants team ready.Back at his base, Cable has the Professor cross reference some data to help him pinpoint the energy readings...
