Arcanowave Platform, a whale which has been outfitted with
arcanowave gear, and the Nuclear Powered Subetheric Energy Flow
Disruptor, which seems to be designed to muck up the local chi
flow. They then travel to China in order to claim the Earth

wound him, but he escapes via GateMaker and triggers the lab's
self-destruct sequence.

-
The self-destruct fails to take out the sub-basement, apparently
due to sabotage, or a highly fortuitous accident. Nevertheless,
the top floors are destroyed. The group frees a young boy
from a fluid-filled tank and works out that the facility was
being used to grow clones of Buro President Johann Bonengel,
among others. They name the clone they've rescued Juanito and

the target of a cruise missile strike.

more difficult when Draco focusses the sum of the Earth's
chi flow through the feng shui site which is the island.
