Ken investigates the disappearances of some employees at an Orb subsidiary. There, he discovers a group of men selling Spider Alien technology to South American drug dealers. Luckily, Ken's cybernetic arm alerts Aric to Ken's danger, and he rushes to the rescue. Even with alien weapons, the villains are no match for the X-O Armor, and they meet a grisly end.

The female owner the Orb subsidiary, Mrs. Dalton aligned herself with Javier and the South American Cartel over her own daughter Diana. In the end, Penelope got her just deserts. Family would have been better. "Parties over, my dear."

This issue was written, penciled and inked before its publication date of May 1993. The X-O armor originally was drawn with the seed on it's chest from issue 10-13 but by the time issue 16 came along, Solar destroyed the seed at the end of issue 13 where Aric fights a trial by combat on the Spider alien moon base.
