Plot

Athenia, having seemingly agreed to Atlas's demands to raise his new human clones, is escorted back to the rest of her crew, but E-10 secretly prints an access card and slips it to Athenia.

Soon, Athenia detaches from the rest of her crew and fights her way through the building, eventually reaching her shuttle and hads back to the Persephone to warn them about what is about to happen, and to protect the colonists.

Outside, Apollo and Vulkan leave the battle at the resistance base, and head towards the Capitoline Peak.

A crowd begins gathering outside the Peak, which is quickly brought to chaos when the Enforcers start attacking the crowd, starting another fight with hidden resistance members in the group.

The riot outside acts as both a distraction for Argus and Atlas, the former of which is finding it hard to concentrate on so many battlefronts, and allows Apollo to break into the facility.

Apollo soon finds Atlas, who is beating up E-10, due to the latter helping Athenia escape, but soon discards him, in favour of fighting the outsider. E-10 is soon grabbed by Apollo, who flings him outside, and is caught by Vulkan, who whisks him away, due to him likely being able to disable the imminent deep screen scan.

Atlas is furious and quickly stuns Apollo, and plans to vilify the resistance and Persephone crews publically, to turn the people of Atlas city against the newcomers, and prevent him clone human army from populating the city...

Notes

• Zenofanes' type has been changed to Age or, rather than Scorpios.
• Similarly, E-10's name has been changed from "Emissary-10" to "Eros-10".
• The building that Atlas is usually based in is revealed to be called the Capitoline Peak.
• It's mentioned that Atlas and Apollo have both been affected by "Phage", a bug that affects Astrobots in the wastelands, where both of them have been shown to arrive in the city from.
• It's confirmed that the abandoned city seen by Apollo in the wastelands was a prior human colony, but Atlas claims the humans destroyed it with their natural violence, but I think we can all just assume that he lied a bit... 
• The Ninjex Units that arrived as a big problem last issue arent seen this issue...I guess they vanished?
• The middle of this issue, where Apollo confronts Atlas appears to include a cliffhanger and pick up (incuding character and location markers). This seems to imply that this issue's story may have been shuffled around a bit.
• The bots working with Argus to activate the deep screen scan appear to be of the same type as Eros-10, but in black (it's possible it's just the lighting, but who knows?)
