In Earth orbit, Giger and a Cybernet team infiltrate the Liberty II space station, kill the crew, and assume control. In Washington, D.C., Youngblood director Alan Keever orders Sentinel to assemble a team to stop Giger and retake the station. Keever shows the team a holographic recording of Giger boasting about taking control of the world’s communications satellites. In Manassas, Virginia, a drunken Brahma ignores Sentinel’s pages on his beeper and argues with his father. The next day, Sentinel travels to a cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains to recruit operative Jake Holland a.k.a. Dutch. Meanwhile, at Youngblood headquarters, technicians continue to monitor the seemingly catatonic Psi-Fire while Cougar, Photon, and Riptide train with new member Masada. On Liberty II, Cybernet use the station’s capabilities to cause a power blackout across the entire Western Hemisphere. In the Blue Ridge Mountains, Dutch agrees to help take down Giger.
