Captain Ciji tells Dox that she is not after the bounty on him, but represents the Shadow Council of Durla, which wants a return to the prior order. But the being who took control of L.E.G.I.O.N., Astrild Storm-Daughter, arrives and explains to Dox that her master wants the Coluan to serve him. In the midst of these discussions, Dox sends Wildstar to Maltus to collect the remains of Silica, and Amon Hakk secretly boards Dox's ship. Dox rejects both offers and directs his ship away. Meanwhile, the Psions inform the Omega Men that Starro the Conqueror, who is Astrild’s master, is their target.
