Horst reports to the strike team headed by the Mission Leader. The Mission Leader tells the team that their job is to acquire a capsule containing a mystic artifact called the “Eye of Odin.” It’s in the possession of a boy who may or may not have any powers. He’s accompanied by someone who one of the attendees identifies as an Animan, possibly Warhorse. They discuss contingency plans.[2]
The Mission Leader puts the plan into execution. It blows up. Spectacularly. Charger and Dragonblade jump out of one of the holes in the side of the train. MCO operative Daisy Hawking takes out one of the operatives. Baron Blitzen goes out of one of the other ones, where Champion intervenes.[2]
