Killed In Action, Part 2: First Casualties
A horrible accident with the first group of recruits for the Initiative left Michael Van Patrick dead, a victim of a misfire by an alien weapon called the Tactigon. Though they stripped it from the girl it had bonded with, nobody in that time has managed to use it. Now, as a second group of recruits begins to train under Taskmaster, an experiement bourne of both MVP and Armory, the recruit who accidentally killed him, is rising to shake the Initiative to it's core.
