hijacks a T'srri fighter and rams into the Seneschal's cruiser, sending both ships crashing into the city. Lilith, Ansh'r and N'golth are killed in battle, while Stone and Kikuyo are critically injured. Outnumbered and soon to be overwhelmed, the battle ends when Jamie creates an explosion large enough to wipe out the T'srri ground forces. Characters Weapon Zero The team known as Weapon Zero is composed of Stone, Jamie, Kikuyo, Valaria and Janus. Although they were all given code names by Ansh'r, they generally referred to each other by their original names. They are all failed T'srri conversions in that they have been implanted with the T'srri biotech, but retained their identities having not been taken over by a T'srri mindworm. These T'srri implants provide enough internal energy to power a small city, from which they have all gained unique powers. Abilities they have in common are their symbiotic armour and a lack of physical aging. They are also gifted with innate multilingualism.

He is initially established as being from Liverpool, but later referred to as coming from London. Jamie is a very reluctant member of Weapon Zero, and he runs away after a near-disastrous battle with the Berserker. He falls under the influence of a T'srri mindworm, until he is cleansed by Lilith and rejoins Weapon Zero. Ultimately he sacrifices himself to destroy T'srri forces attacking Earth. Jamie is able to focus energy into his hands and release it in a directed explosion. Although he mainly uses his fingers and hands, he has been shown on one occasion to use his foot. Kikuyo (Slice) Kikuyo was a clan princess from 16th century Japan. She was abducted while on her way to be married into another clan. Her disappearance sparked a war between the two families. Slice is able to produce sharp claws from the ends of her fingers. She has been
