Synopsis:
Checkmate begins their assault on Austanburg in multiple teams. Peacemaker provides air support for the ground teams, but when the ghost of his father returns, he bails out. O'Donnell battles Bishop, while Reed, Washington and Zahar lead teams to find Cypher. Meanwhile Nagoya and his Soviet counterpart seek out the stolen Russia power source. When they destroy the lab containing the power source, Bishop and the other cybernetic soldiers lose power. The other Checkmate teams close in on Cypher, but they are unable to prevent him from making a worldwide broadcast which installs him as the new monarch of Austanburg. Stein is ordered to withdraw his men, leaving Cypher in control of the country.
