A lot of hot-button issues swirled around in the media on Vega Station. But one was always front and center.

Coverage of the bank robbery transmitted across every channel. I watched with Chrome, Surge, Zepha, and Ranger in Zyrco's office.

A large display screen showed a reporter standing in front of the bank building. "Supers terrorized hostages and demolished the Vega Bank Building today. Cash was left untouched in the vault, and the perpetrators appeared to be after a specific item contained within a safe deposit box. Fortunately, the Vega PD thwarted the robbers. But the incident has sparked an outcry among residents, with one council member proposing a ban on supers altogether.”

The segment cut to a clip of the councilman in front of the podium, addressing reporters at a press conference. “We must take back our city. So long as one of these supers roams the streets, we are at risk. We’ve seen how easily these freaks can change their loyalty. I’m sorry to use such harsh terminology, but that’s what they are.”

Zyrco turned off the display before the segment could annoy him any further.

"That's complete bullshit!” Surge protested. "The cops didn't do anything! Now they're taking all the credit?"

"My bigger concern is the attitude of the public towards supers." Zyrco said. "It's growing increasingly hostile."

"I don't think these people realize how much trouble they're going to be in if they ban supers completely,” Ranger grumbled. “There will be no one around to save them!”

"Titus and his henchmen are only going to continue their reign of terror," Zyrco said. “It's going to get much worse."

"The only thing they took from the vault was a crystal," I said.

"Part of the tri-stone," Zyrco said. "I had heard rumors that one had been acquired by a collector and was brought to the city.” A regretful sigh billowed from his lips. “Titus must not be allowed to acquire the other two stones."

"Where are the other two?" I asked.

"One is safeguarded in the temple of Kravva on Cygnus Reticuli 3. The other is here at the Academy."

Eyes widened with surprise.

“You mean part of the tri-stone has been here all along?" Surge said.

“It only recently came to the Academy,” Zyrco said.

"What exactly does this crystal do?" I asked.

"If the stones should ever become united, the wielder will have the ability to neutralize the power of other supers."

Gasps filled the room. For a super, that was a fate worse than death.

"Permanently?" I asked.

"That remains to be seen," Zyrco said. He paused. “There is no doubt in my mind that Titus will attempt to recover the other shards. I want you to recover the stone from the temple. It is no longer safe there.”

“Why don’t we just destroy one of the shards?” I asked.

“Because the stones can’t be destroyed,” Zyrco said.

“Don’t worry, Professor,” Surge said. “We’ll get the stone.”

“Find Ja Ni Vu at the temple,” the professor commanded. “He will assist you.”

“Well, what are we waiting for?” Ranger asked. “Let's get going.”

The professor called to me as we headed toward the door.
