Title: Operation Deep Freeze Part 3: The Consequences
Synopsis: Aric's been buried before, but this time he's not content to lay down and die. While he blasts his way out of the ice, snow and debris, and takes on the U.S. Government forces outside the Amundsen-Scott research station, his Head of Security, Randy, takes on the troops inside. The two return to the states, where Aric calls in a favor from Harada, the head of the powerful Harbinger Foundation, to call off the military. Aric uses the information Shanhara, the sentient X-O Manowar armor, gleaned from the computer systems in Antarctica to insure that the Internal Revenue Service keep out of Orb Industries' affairs. Then, disgusted with our "modern" world, he hands the X-O control ring to Randy, and tells her he's going away. Maybe forever.
