Plot[]
After a period without any further evidence of the aliens' existence, the powers-that-be try to shut down the Blackwood Project. Meanwhile, the aliens try desperately to find a way to combat the threat brought on by the radiation that is killing them.
Synopsis[]
With no recent alien activity, Ironhorse believes them to be neutralized. General Wilson announces the project terminated.
The alien Advocates are dying from their cave headquarters' radiation. They steal plastic fabric for protective suits, but need a coolant.
A police report of a "melted" thief at a liquid nitrogen coolant factory leads Harrison and Ironhorse, disguised as safety inspectors, to discover that aliens have possessed the factory workers. Returning after dark, they're discovered and fight their way out. The Blackwood Project is renewed, but the alien Advocates live on.
