9: Storm Warnings - 2000AD prog 544

London: May 18, 1987: Peter St John returns to his office to discover his secretary burned to bone. Masterman is sitting, waiting for him. The Nazi superman mentions that the Black Sun have many allies within the Government. He tells Peter that there may be a place for him in the new world the Dark Gods plan to create: “That’s why I’m letting you live.” Back in Llangenech, Zenith has just told Ruby that the low phase of his biorhythm is approaching and that he will start losing his powers on the 24th. She is furious with him for not telling her this earlier but Zenith isn’t bothered - she’s got Siadwel to help her now. While Ruby returns to London by train (to avoid the rain) Siadwel tells Zenith about Cloud 9 and how they had developed “The Plan” - and that he and Peter had been against it. Ruby arrives back in London to find Masterman attacking the public in the streets.
