Database Journal: 47-10 mark 15. The resistance leader Cypher is brought to Powerbase wearing a blindfold to meet with Captain Power. Cypher's news: Eden II is real! But... there's a problem with the underground railroad that leads to Eden II. Dread forces have captured part three of a five part escape route. A courier from Eden II wants to meet with Captain Power to set up the new checkpoint. Cypher says the Eden II people trust only Captain Power and his team with the information. Power still doubts the existence of Eden II. Cypher produces a piece of uniform cloth with "Wardog" insignia. (See episode two: "Wardogs") Written on the back of the cloth is "Dear Matt, We made it! Vi." This is enough proof for Captain Power. The meeting place selected is perhaps the most dangerous on Earth: Dark Town. Proton bombing during the Metal Wars made the area unlivable. Acid fog, radiation burn holes, and other hazards push the defensive capabilities of the team's powersuits to the limit. Inside the eerie Dark Town, biomech troopers still patrol. But the acid fog has a deleterious effect on biomechs. They are beyond even Dread's control. At Volcania, Dread is researching the numerous and varied appearances of Captain Power at places all over the country during short periods of time. Dread realizes that these appearances could only be accomplished by some kind of teleportation. The Power Team penetrates deeper into Dark Town. They are attacked by "rogue" biomechs whose programming has been altered by acid fog. The team prevails. Dread has lost contact with several troopers in Dark Town. A floating Dread "Spy-Eye" discovers the presence of the Power Team. Dread sends in Blastarr. Finally, the Power Team finds the rendezvous point with the representative from Eden II. They are met by a young man who introduces himself only as "John." John assures Power that Eden II is real. John gives Power a data crystal encoded with the information about the new underground railroad checkpoint. Power asks John to explain what Eden II is. John describes Eden II as a Shangri-La, where the best aspects of the world they once knew are preserved. As Power begins to establish a rapport with John, Blastarr and his troops attack. The acid fog has effected Blastarr's logic systems. The Power Team exploits the handicap and blasts their way out of Dark Town. John mysteriously disappears during the battle. At Powerbase, Power opens a box given to him by John during the battle. Inside is an orange. The rare fresh fruit on this devastated Earth is further proof of Eden II's reality.
