Summary (from http://milestone.luthor.com/comics_detail.asp?ID=151&):

We see Hardware and Static bust some drug dealers. Curtis tries to make up with Barraki after not calling her for two months. Barraki's gives him the cold shoulder and since Hardware has time he decides to work on the problem Icon gave him. Curtis contacts Icon's race. We see Deacon meet with a man he calls Mission (Sanction?). The aliens think Hardware is the survivor, but he leads them to Icon.
