-What...is that?-

 

Some kind of giant computer terminal...

 

-Life support?-

 

No, it's something else...

- Sir, I'm getting something in from the guys scouting Sionis...they've found something in the sewers.-

 

What is it?

- They don't know...just looks like a big grey box with a blue light flashing.-

 

- Hey, I'm getting something on that, too- but at ACE Chemicals-

 

- And another at the sewage plant-

 

Goddamn...Freeze planted them through the sewer system...

- But what are they-- hold on...sir, one of them's gone off...it's emitting some sort of steam...-

 

Waitaminute...this display is of Gotham City's...weather patterns..?

Now we know why he spend so much time at the Water Works.

 

And to think this whole time we thought he was protecting Nora...

Indeed. Apparently Freeze set up beacons in the sewer system while we were distracted fighting off his 'competitors' above. He's been using Club Olympus as the main power center to hone the beacons in- hence the lightning storm earlier tonight- and having an automated computer send the go from Cybertron.

 

Nora's whereabouts are unknown now- I had presumed he placed her in Cybertron all this time, but clearly he meant us to think that. I'll bet only he knows where she is now.

 

Weather reports all over Gotham have been reporting the same thing- it's freezing outside. He's practically frozen the whole city solid- we have to evacuate now and make our plans to retake the city. Meet me at the enclosed rendezvous.

Got the rendezvous. I'll gather up the rest of the family to meet us there.

 

One thing I don't understand, though- Freeze and the other villains are still grouping around Gotham Square...It's almost as if they still plan to do something. I don't like it one bit.
