Jurgen infiltrated STAR LABS with a note from Mantis asking for devices to track the Constructs. When he arrived, no one answered the door, and he found that they had been attacked by UMI. He was able to enter the building, and found many dead STAR LABS employees. He also found a janitor hiding, and helped him out of the building. He was not able to get the tracking devices, but he did steal some ID badges and uniforms and lasers. When he left the second time, the police were there, and GL had brought him back, but had to visit the rest room. At that time, Jurgen went to the roof, and thinking gL had abandoned him, called for evac. Zephyr brought the chopper, and had to engage in a quasi-battle with the police chopper to get Jurgen out.

The team then assembled their various people and others into the relative protection of the danger room. This included Lassiter. Snow Angel also arived at this point. Iron Maiden and Afterburner (pregnant) also were retrieved and brought to LA.

After formulating a plan? the team went to the SD STAR LABS facility, with the plan to attack and destroy the UMI constructs. Mantis had used his STAR LABS tracking device to find that CASINO's artificial hand was still there. The team had several battles with constructs, which continued to appear in increasing numbers. After Loup was almost swarmed under (but saved by Zephyr) and GL was overwhelmed by 10 constructs, GL used his hyperflight to destroy the facility, with the rest of the team (barely) making it out of the path of destruction.

GL ended up back on OA with his ten pursuers. He was able to shake them off in space with a pulse of his green force field, and hyper flight back to earth.

As the team attempted to excavate the ruins at SD, 100 constructs appeared on the horizon and attacked. The team was in grave danger, and at that moment Number 10 arrived in his airship, with the members of TRIAD. The Vision had created an attack device that could destroy the Constructs. However, the onslaught of laser fire prevented him doing so at first. Mantis threw himself in front of a number of laser blasts meant for the Vision. As a result, he was riddled with laser fire, and came within a hares breath of death from the wounds. Bane (ducking lasers herself) was able to inject a healing serum at the last possible moment before Mantis expired. With the moments of protection Mantis bought for the Vision, he was able to deploy his weapon, and along with Red Tornado, turn the tide of the battle, and with the assistance of the rest of the team (including Snow Angel's protective wall of ice, GL's and No. 10's blasts from the airship's lasers, the battle was finally won.

Vision explained that his device exploited a flaw in all STAR LABS equipment, which was why the AlertForce communicators also exploded when he used it. Loup's head was quite messy when his implanted communicator detonated.
