Night Shift

Volume 2, Episode 4

On the evening before The Kelvinator's transfer, the D.A.'s office called Lt. Therius to inform him that The Kelvinator is demanding that his parental unit, K-924, accompany him in the relocation.  Therius and the assistant DA exchanged not-so-cooperative words.  Therius then requested Officer Jenny "Multiple Woman" McCambridge as backup.

Friday, November 12th, 1999.  The SOB team went into action, assembling at the Transworld station.  At T minus 10 minutes, Detective Mortis went through the gate to Parallel #54 and linked up with Centurion Furius and his Cyber-Legionnaires, and Officers Babbage and Tesla from Albion.  He made sure the coast was clear, giving the signal to the next team to go ahead. 

At T-3, Landsen and Lt. Therius, projecting an illusion of The Kelvinator, came through.  When no one attacked, Mortis moved ahead to Albion to check the next sage.  At T=0, Parker, Fisher and McCambridge came through with the Kelvinator and K-924. 

The group began moving toward the next terminal, since the gates to Parallel #10 and Albion were in different terminals.  Half-way through, the group was attacked by an immense man made of metal, looking like an animated statue of a Roman knight, accompanied by a group of thugs.  While the Cyber-Legionnaires handled the thugs, Parker immediately teleported to a safehouse with the Kelvinator.  Landsen protected K-924, and Mortis, alerted, contacted Albion for backup.

In a fierce battle, the rest of the team – Therius, Fisher, and Landsen, with the help of McCambridge, Furius, Babbage and Tesla, battled the metal giant.  At first he appeared impervious to everything they threw at him, but teamwork began to make a dent.  When Mortis came back with reinforcements – Officers Pendragon and Lady Britannia of Albion – the defenders began to gain the upper hand.  Lt. Therius and Sgt. Fisher crippled their opponent, who finally collapsed.
