Time sure flies when you're killing people. Over on the E.M.P.I.R.E. side of things, the surviving cast members do a head-count, bury the dead, mourn a little and plan on avenging an awful lot-- all of which screams BAD NEWS for Zephyr Quinn. Who, speaking of, enters into phase 2 of Newman Xeno's sinister plan over on the X.S.M. side of things. Just what the hell are they building on X.S.M. Island? And what does that have to do with Casanova Quinn's disappearance?
