Downtown Atlanta, an SUV drives down the road. Inside it are Samantha McTeague, Amani Wolf, Lisa McCoy, Wesley Hawk, Corsair and Andrew Shepherd at the wheel.
"Brennan Calhoun." says Sam "That's the person we're going to see today."
"I've heard of him." says Lisa "A former member of the Klan until he was arrested. After getting out of jail he started up an underground hate newspaper called the Southern Star.
Corsair works on his laptop.
"According to this, the paper's been legit for several years now."
"Then why is he funding the Human League?" says Sam
"We'll just have to ask him." says Amani
"We're here ma'am." says Shepherd
The vehicle is parked in front of a three story building.
"All right, Lisa, Amani, your with me." says Sam "You three stay here. Your our back-up, just in case."
"Understood ma'am." says Shepherd
The three ladies enter the building.
"Can I help you?" says the lady secretary.
"We have an appointment with Mr. Calhoun." says Sam "I'm Sally Murphy with Big Dog Advertising."
"Ah, yes, we've been expecting you Miss Murphy. Mr. Calhoun's office is on the second floor, last door on the right side."
"Thank you."
On the second floor Sam knocks on the mentioned door.
"Come in. Ah, Miss Murphy, do come in."
"I'm afraid I have a confession to make Mr. Calhoun."
Sam takes out her wallet and shows him her Interpol badge. Amani does the same with her Strayer badge.
"I am in fact Constable Samantha McTeague, Interpol. My collegues, Amani Wolf of the Strayers and Elizabeth McCoy, daughter of Human League leader Sheldon McCoy."
Calhoun leans back in his chair and steeples his fingers.
"Mmm, yes, I know."
The three of them are visibly startled.
"You know?" says Lisa
"Certainly. And you wish to know why I am funding the Human League. Quite simple really, causing chaos in society is my job."
"So you admit to funding a terrorist group?" says Amani
"Yes, and you won't stop me."
Calhoun presses a button on his desk and a beam of light from the ceiling glows down on them. They grunt with effort trying to move.
"Oh, don't bother fighting my Suspension Beam. It will turn off eventually. But first, a little revelation."
He presses another button on his desk and one entire wall goes up and four men and the secretary enter the room.
"Relieve them of their weapons." says Calhoun.
"Calhoun, listen to me." Sam grunts out "You won't get away with this."
"Oh, but I will." says Calhoun.
"They're clean." says the secretary.
"Well then, time to unmask."
They all touch their forearms and their human disguises evaporate. Standing in front of them are six KH Military wolves.
"Allow me to introduce myself. Captain Ulrik of the KH Military's Obsidian Unit. The real Brennan Calhoun was, shall we say, retired a couple years ago. And that fool Sheldon McCoy believes I want to help him. Tell me, Miss McCoy, when he finds out about this, how will he react?"
"Badly."
"Yes, I'm quite sure he'll go supernova. And fortunately the so called Roughnecks helped move things along without my help.
Take this back to your friends the Road Rovers."
Ulrik slips a disk ino Sam's pants pocket.
"All the information on us. I realize that your friends will stop me some day, they always do. But for now, good day Constable McTeague."
Ulrik and the others leave the room.
"Can't you do something about this?" says Lisa
"You think I haven't been trying?" says Amani
"Just keep cool ladies." says Sam "I'm sure Wesley and the others will know something's wrong soon."
The whir of a helicopter is heard above them and then leaves.
"Sam!" shouts Wesley in the hall.
"Where are you?!" shouts Corsair
"Uhh, I can't shout out for help." says Amani
Shepherd suddenly bursts open the door, weapon drawn.
"I found them! Over here!"
Wesley and Corsair join him.
"What is that" says Shepherd
"Ahh, a Suspension Beam." says Wesley "I've heard of this. But what's KH Military tech doing in the office of a newspaper man?"
The ladies can only grunt with frustration.
"I think we need to turn it off first." says Shepherd
"Right then." says Wesley
He goes to the desk and looks at a key pad built in. But then the Beam cuts off by itself and the three of them collapse.
"No need, it seems." says Corsair "Must have run out of juice."
"And you claim to be a genius!" groans Lisa
"I am." says Wesley
"All right, enough!" says Sam "Here."
She hands Corsair the disk.
"Brennan Calhoun is actually Captain Ulrik of Obsidian Unit. Part of the KH Military."
"Here we go again." says Corsair.

Fancy restaurant, downtown Atlanta. Sheldon McCoy and a few of his top leaders in the Human League are enjoying a steak dinner. Another member walks in and whispers in Sheldon's ear. Sheldon leaps up out of the chair, knocking it over.
"What?!"
"Y-yes sir."
"What's wrong Sheldon?"
With a roar of fury, Sheldon upends his table sending the contents to the floor.
"They've done it to me again! Those stinkin animals have done it to me again!"

Roughneck base. Rowdy is watching a newscast on the recent revelation.
"Well, well. Most interesting." says Rowdy
"Got something in mind?" says Lorelei
"I do."

Road Rover Field Headquarters, briefing room, Atlanta, Georgia. Tex, Lisa and Sam are here, Master and Hunter on the screen.
"Obsidian Unit." says Sam "Led by Captain Ulrik, formerly Brennan Calhoun. A total of 6 members in this unit, and the they include: Lieutenant Riggs, Sergeant Hondo, Corporal Marika and Privates Akira and Cutter.
"Yet another unexpected twist. Bummer."
"So is Interpol going to do anything about it?" says Lisa
"My superiors see this as a Rover matter." says Sam "But you can count on my help."
"And it's appreciated, Constable." says Master
"How's dad taking it?" says Tex
"My contact in the Human League says he went ballistic." says Lisa "And he's planning to do a "Sheldon's March" across Georgia to eliminate every last one of 'those animals.'"
"What's Georgia's governor say about that?" says Master
"Are you kidding? He's a League member!"
"Something's got to be done about this!" says Tex
"Agreed, but what?" says Hunter
Rommel walks in to the room.
"Tex, Lisa, I just recieved a call for you."
"Tell them to wait." says Tex
"He was most insistant." says Rommel "It's Rowdy."
That get everybody's attention.
"Let's go." says Tex
Rommel leads Tex and Lisa to another briefing room. On the screen is Rowdy.
"What do you want Rowdy?"
"What? No 'howdy partner' from a fellow southerner?"
"Get on with it!"
"Very well, I think you and I should meet, face to face."
"Why?"
"Because I want to talk to someone and have them hear my side of the story. Just the two of you and me, no one else."
Tex and Lisa share a look.
"No tricks?"
"None."
"Are you aware of what our father is planning?" says Lisa
"What's that?"
"He's planning a 'Sheldon's March' across Georgia against all sapiens."
"My, my, ambitious, isn't he. When?"
"Soon."
"All the more reason you should meet with me."
"Very well, Rowdy." says Tex "We'll come."
"Excellent."
Tex and Lisa return to the other room and inform their friends.
"It's a trap, it has to be." says Sam
"Still, we're going." says Tex
"You will, of course, take precautions." says Master
"Yes sir."
"Then good luck to you."
The Human League is ticked, and Rowdy is planning something. What could it be?
