Plot

Oz explains to Dr Dell, one of the scientists who are studying the tiny life-forms, how they arrived on Earth, but soon remembers that they don't speak the same language, so he gives up. The doctor tries to interpret what they are saying, but the head scientist tells her to not bother, and prepare them for vivisection. Dell isn't happy, but obeys and sadly electrocutes the Micronauts, knocking them out.

Later, the Micronauts are being carted away to the new lab, but Acroyear wakes up, and easily smashes through the glass cage, and attacks the human guards, who he manages to knock out. The glass case is smashed, and the other robotic Micronauts wake up too, with the organics still being too weak. Biotron points out that it's interesting that the case was made of shoddy materials and the electric shock wasn't strong enough for the job, but Acroyear is more interested in finding their ship and escaping. Microtron locates it, and leads the group towards it.

The Micronauts are chased by some more guards, including some dogs. They manage to outrun them, and find the room where the Heliopolis is being held, but find the door locked tight, however when they arrive Dr Dell opens the door and points them towards their ship.

Biotron realizes that she's trying to help them to escape...

Notes

• This issue is set following the events of Revolution, and shows what happened to the Micronauts after they are captured.
• Dr Dell mentions that she things Oz is speaking a type of Egyptian Arabic, since we've previously learned that they are talking Ancient Cybertronian, this could mean that the Egyptians were influenced by the Cybertronians too...interesting!
• The head scientist here is unnamed in this issue.
• Acroyear is shown to have strength proportionate to his size, much like the Marvel character Ant-Man, likely a reference to Ant-Man's previous connection to the Micronauts during the Marvel years.
