- Set "a year to the day" after Legion of Super-Heroes v4 125.
M'Onel fights an upgraded Tharok in rapid decent towards Earth's surface. When he finally stops him in Metropolis, a small drone detaches and rockets away, but he stops it with a shot of freeze-breath, and Science Police arrive to contain Tharok.
Following a report on the fight, The Earth Spins interviews President Leonard McCauley, who promises to make repairs, points out the rebuilding work on Earth since the Blight, and says that he has no regrets on disbanding the Legion "with honours" after the events of Widening Rifts. In response to a question on M'Onel, he says M'On is like a son to him.
M'Onel, watching, thinks how he hates it when McCauley lies. Shvaughn Erin then calls him to ask for help in the investigation into the "Tharok incursion", but a chance encounter with Kinetix once there depresses him over how lonely he feels. Shvaugn tells him he still has friends, one of whom is right in front of him, and to come and help like he promised.
What is causing problems is the now-defrosted drone, which M'Onel theorises Tharok was just a delivery vehicle for, on behalf of whoever upgraded him. It then infects the system, and then a Science Police officer, who starts babbling about "Robotica". M'Onel gets Shvaugn to purge the system at all costs, and then destroys the drone with his heat vision. The infected officer then drops dead.
M'Onel then goes to confront McCauley over the apparent downplaying of the Robotican menace. McCauley brushes him off, but his henchman Venge tells him M'Onel was right to be concerned. M'Onel then leaves to visit Legion Memorial Plaza for the anniversary of the loss of half the Legion in the Rift. There, he meets Triad, who had been running Brande Industries for the previous year.
