Doctor Warlock runs down a darkened alley to escape from the agents of the Fist. He finds himself confronted by a Fist-man, who threatens him, but soon Dhiar appears and, after whipping an 'I' into a nearby propaganda poster and quoting Shakespeare, he chases off the agent. Dhiar reassures Doctor Warlock and takes the initiative. They teleport away. Dhiar is teleported in suddenly, and his appearance enchants Hardly Bent. Splatman turns the defabricator off, and Dhiar informs him of Doctor Warlock's need for his support. After some energy-gathering, Dhiar intends to rejoin his new friend.
