The Guardians of the Galaxy have made contact with the Cancerverse resistence. They have learned the moment that the Cancerverse diverged from theirs in a truly significant fashion. That gives them a plan of attack, but they'll need help to pull it off. Meanwhile, Nova hand-picks a surgical strike force to hit an important target on the normal side of the Fault.
