- Synopsis
- The Plutonian addresses everyone on Earth using a device in his trophy room "seized from Modeus". Volt recalls his invitation to join The Paradigm and how, more recently, he lost his left arm. Charybdis makes a revelation about his powers, an accusation about Bette Noir, and an observation about Qubit's Modeus robots in the wake of their surprising find.
