"Brainiac's ship teleported into sector 2811 four hours ago and lost power shortly after. Most of the beings in the ship are coming up as deactivated robots by our scanners. I think it's a trap, but the United Planets Defense is certain this is the main ship in Brainiac's fleet." Cosmic Boy told the group. "We've taken more losses over the last week with Hawk being taken out, Superforce suffering spine damage, and Bolt going into some kind of static coma. I don't know if such a small group can risk going into Brainiac 5's ship in the dark."

"That bastard destroyed my planet, Rokk." Ultra Boy said speaking up, "I don't care if the lights are off or on, I lost my parents and my kid sister when Daxam blew up..."

"We can't go in half cocked and without some sort of ace in the hole in case something goes wrong." Cosmic Boy commented looking at Ferro Lad to back him up, "I don't think you kids are ready..."

The last son of Daxam stormed off, because in his mind it was now or never. He wanted the alien tyrant to pay for what he'd done to his planet, and for betraying the Legion. 

That left Momentum, Ferro Lad, the green clad alien that Momentum insists on calling 'Captain Marvel', the new girl with the sword calling herself Maxima, and Bulk Lad in the monitor room with Cosmic Boy floating around in his hover chair. Bulk Lad seemed a bit antsy to get back into battle as well after under-performing in the fight with Multiplus in Bludhaven.

"I don't think they're ready, Andrew. I don't want anybody else dying on my watch..." Cosmic Boy said to his oldest friend and teammate Ferro Lad, however he had no idea what the steel skinned man behind the iron mask was thinking.
