Progs #589-606 (25th June - 24 December 1988) In a prelude, Ruby's holiday sees her meet up with David Cambridge and Penelope Moon - Cloud 9 members Lux and Spook, long thought dead - on Alternative 303, an Earth where dinosaurs still exist - as they plan to stop the mysterious "alignment" planned by the Lloigor. Zenith meanwhile is on the verge of a planned American tour when he is attacked in his flat by the huge mechanoid Warhead, controlled by Peyne and Scott Wallace, a computer wizard and owner of Wallace International. He is only saved by the intervention of CIA agent Phaedra Cale, who has been monitoring Peyne. Wallace meanwhile takes over the weapons systems of the nuclear submarine HMS Resolve, aiming two nuclear warheads at Whitehall. St. John attempts to juggle responding to the crisis with visions of a blackened sun and the Omnihedron since his contact with Iok Sotot, while also fielding a brief visit from Spook. Zenith and Cale infiltrate Wallace's base at Schiehallion but are captured by Shockwave and Blaze - Peyne's latest creations, working for Wallace who plans to take over the world and make it a better place. He executes Cale and prepares to launch the missiles. With the British unable to locate Resolve and unwilling to risk a panic only elite figures such as the Royal Family are covertly evacuated from London. Meanwhile, Zenith is loosely imprisoned and finds out more about his abilities in discussion with Peyne. The scientist plans to use Zenith, Blaze and Shockwave to breed a race of superhumans to restore the planet - planning to kill him after he impregnates them when his biorhythm is at its lowest. Peyne tells Zenith his parents were killed by CIA Shadowmen, psychically enhanced hitmen. He used genetic material from White Heat's corpse to create Blaze and cell-scrapings from Fox to create Shockwave - and placed the barely-living Dr. Beat inside the Warhead armour. Peyne leaves Warhead to kill Zenith; his agent Eddie has long circulated a false birthday for the star and thus Peyne has miscalculated his biorhythm information. Zenith is strong enough to destroy Warhead - killing his father in the process - but Wallace has initiated the launch of the missiles from a secure vault, with a riddle set up as the passcode. Zenith uses his crude telepathy to contact St. John, who is above London and
