Synopsis:
Rebis and Rhea have been taken into the kaleidoscape by a group known as the Ultraquist Geomancers led by Huss. This group has been at war with the Orthodoxy of the Insect Mesh for generations. Their intent is to use Rhea's magnetic powers to destroy the judge rock inside of which lies a sacred artifact.

Back on Earth, the rest of the Doom Patrol meet with Emissaries of the Orthodoxy. Cliff and Jane join them on their ship to find their friends.
