Synopsis:
Robotman and Jane join the Orthodoxy as they begin their attack on the Ultraquists. Meanwhile, Rhea Jones is sent to Judge Rock where she is told to wait. When Rebis deduces that his guide Huss has no intentions of ending the war, Huss tries to kill him. Rhea arrives at the rock, but instead of waiting as instructed, she crashes the rock to the ground, shocking both sides in the conflict.
