Synopsis for "Shiftships (Part III of IV)"
In Sliding Albion, Regis converses with Yngvi in a graveyard, talking and lamenting about their (Blue) race being close to absolute extinction. Yngvi relates the events of the invasion raid in Los Angeles and the intervention of the Authority, which infuriates Regis at the mention of Jenny Sparks. However, Yngvi informs that according to their advisors, they have tracked the Authority's door frequency to the Carrier, which will allow their soldiers to counterattack on their enemies, enlightening Regis.
In Rendelsham, England, Jenny Sparks and her friends interrogate Lorenzo. It is learned from both Jenny and Lorenzo that Spark severely wounded Regis in 1925 by castrating him, and that after fifty years of devastation in Sliding Albion Regis has rebuilt his empire and plans to conquer the WildStorm reality of Earth in order to make room for the Blues and to propagate more numbers of the Blue race by turning Earth into a "rape camp".
Meanwhile over northern Europe, multiple shiftship fleets from Sliding Albion emerges and begins their invasion of Earth. In the Carrier, the four members of the Authority detect the emergence of the shiftships. Suddenly the interior of the Carrier is beset by doorways which allows a cavalry from Sliding Albion to attack. The Authority fends off the waves of cavalry troops long enough for Apollo to annihilate them, but at the cost of extinguishing his solar energy. Jenny Sparks, the Engineer, and Swift return to the Carrier and are met by the remaining Sliding Albion cavalry in which the Engineer quickly kills them. The Authority regroups and bears the situation of the second invasion in northern Europe. Jenny plans to have Apollo destroy the invasion fleet alone; Jenny assures the others that despite Apollo's health, he will soon be restore, while she and the others will launch a counter-invasion on Sliding Albion.
