This is another obscurity, only running four issues.

No chapter title, story by Cliff Son and Anthony Chun, pencils by Anthony Chun, inks by multiple people.

Defsci agent Frank Holden had a close encounter with what he believes to be an alien as a child. No one ever believed him, but now there's a real live alien in a tube in front of him and several other people can see it.

One of them, the central figure on the cover, is Digit, who is apparently a robot. She takes a back seat this issue and no explanation or background is given for her.

There's a crusty old scientist called "Doc Voltaire" (presumably Digit's creator) and a young female scientist named "Alice" who Frank immediately gets the hots for but she does not reciprocate. Doc implies she's not interested in men.

The alien busts out of the tube. This four-armed fellow, Ragnar, was just resting until he got enough clues to figure out how to speak English. He wants to be taken to "your leader."

This turns out to be the head of Defsci, who goes unnamed in this issue. Ragnar explains that he comes from what used to be an advanced, peaceful planet. Beings called "Triton" turned them against each other, and Ragnar's people were wiped out in the ensuing civil war. As sole survivor, Ragnar is here to warn the Earthlings they're next.

Defsci thought something like that was going to happen, so they've partially prepared. Frank, Digit and Ragnar will now be their action team to fight the evil Triton.

First up is the Church of Resurrection, fanatical religious terrorists that think the Triton are angels, and have been sent to destroy some evidence of Triton vivisection of humans. They blow themselves up rather than be captured.

There are some possibly interesting ideas here, but as the series was cut so short it's unlikely any were developed. The tag team approach to inking gives this issue a patchwork feel and none of the art stands out enough to interest me. Decompression really hurt the story here.
