Summary

  Nate dies from the CS-9 (iss. 28), and his soul ascends while the base automatically locks down. Dark Beast abandons Havok and Fatale, but she ports them to his other base.

  Threnody rises from the dead (iss. 25), in the Bronx morgue.

  Nate's soul yells at his own corpse for taking the easy way out. He sees Threnody, AOA Forge, and Maddie, too. It's a regular dead reunion.

  Nate reincorporates himself and blasts out of the base. His TK shorts out again, and he walks to Washington Square Park and collapses. Three girls pick him up, while Roust (iss. 20) goes to the loft with a warning for him, but he's not there.
