Dream Girl has a vision that the mindless beast Validus is going to attack the Legion -- but how can that be?

Validus is controlled by the human/robot Tharok who is undergoing extensive brain surgery in prison.

Also, Invisible Kid meets and falls in love with a girl living in the invisible world.

Some don’t understand that demonising refugees& asylum seekers is a red line for any healthy nation.
