Summary (from http://milestone.luthor.com/comics_detail.asp?ID=162&):

The coalition has a meeting (now including Edwin Alva, Hannah Wing, Monocle, Harm, Warren Coolidge, Lemmel Gold, Milton St. Cloud) to discuss who benefits from Utopia Park. Hardware defeats Grasshopper and Mai Tai to intimidate St. Cloud. Then Pyre (a.k.a. Hardware) crashes the meeting to confirm his presence on the coalition. Pyre gets to be the head of security. The Coalition splits up the rest of the Utopia profits. Curtis is then confronted by Alva wearing a Version 3.0 of Hardware.
