Van frew'd up at Newcaslte Uni. -- Franklin Lockeed had his assistant send Dolly a dress (off the rack, designer brand) after Vandal’s crashout ruined the other one. Everyone but Dolly finds this creepy. In the DJ Beatle interrogation, Roach attempts to give the bug a headache whenever he doesn’t answer questions to their satisfaction. However, he is simply too dumb to associate the pain with what he’s saying, and Roach gives up once they realise this. They can’t help but grow fond of him, in a proprietary sort of way.

Their eyes closed they, they enter their vaccummous mindscape and are met by a presence. As Roach follows the lead on DJ Beatle to some warehouses, using droves of insects to search the area. Vandal is internally freaking the absolute fuck out on the train. He failed at sketching to distract his mind, until an old started talking to him, kindly asking if he's claustrophobic. They have a nice chat, but eventually the conversation veres toward their opinion if superhero are moral or right. The older man gives some words of encouragement in the face of Vandal's critizism of the system. Turns to Vandal and says, "You have time, you just need to master yourself... Here's your stop." As Vandal looks away to confirm this, he turns back to find the old man having vasnished. As Vandal completes his old man encounter and Royce starts to re-enter New South Wales, the lone hornets Roach had given to both Royce and Vandal simultaniously start to behave erratically. This prompts Royce to psychically inquire with Vandal as to where Roach is or was, what they were doing and a mental impression of the location of these warehouses. 13 breaks the sound barrier several times over, reaching a still reserved mach 6, in effort to arrive on scene as soon as physically possible. It begins to search the area using telekinesis to have a highly accurate tactile sense of the surrounding area. Desperate to find Roach, 13 moves past reaching out to indiviual minds and plunges their mind into the Collective Unconscious. Feeling their mind collapse under the weight of every Cassandra Vanderbelt, Attache case, has employment contract of Jeremy Ivores (An art assessor), was found covered in "experimental paint." We began Vandal's plan to draw out, get the attention of and confront this so called "Whiteout" in the open.

In the warehouse from beforw Vol #6 - As it Began, so it Shall End. - Issue #3 Vandal stands waiting in Lorenzo's museum for Whiteout to make an appearance, Van removes his mask. Royce turns around and refuses to know the mental image of Van's face. Van begins to tag the wall in front of him, waiting for their challenge to be answered. And soon enough, as Van throws an empty spray can over their shoulder, there is a thud of someone catching it. Whiteout arrives, for a moment, sitting down to watch Van create their art, comparring Van to Michelangelo and himself to Giovanni De Dolci. Whiteout claims to be trying to teach Vandal a lesson on before Aeigis catches up to them. The two artists have a back and forth on why the other's art is wrong. The crew being so tired, Royce floats themselves and Vandal back to HQ. We wake to Lorenzo arriving on site, duffle in hand. We offer him the choice of a couch and the bed in Roach's workshop, he chose the couch. Lorenzo then points out how suspicious it looks for him to go missing before the planned heist on Cassandra's paintings. Royce heads out first toward the situation unfolding at the National Australian Bank in town at Newcastle. Arriving on scene before the rest of the team, Royce is debreifed by Aeigis Agent Jerry Ozrick on the siutation. A bank covered in plant life stands before them, as Jerry explains the two non-violent perpatraitors are one Anny Oakly and one Sandman. Royce hears a voice in their head after communicating with Jerry on the heister's legal record, suggesting to Royce to kill the bank robbers. Mustering up the courage and upset with the suggestion, Royce attempts to chase the presence all the way to their mindscape, they go catatonic on the bank floor. Royce hears sharp violin far in the distance to the tune of Brittney Spears' "Toxic", until Vandal smacked them on the back and brought them back to reality. Royce takes care of Anny while Vandal and Roach both took care of Sandman. After placing them in the custody of Aegis, Royce tells Anny they'll try and get Uluru in touch with them.
