Yet another yarn of the Titans being summoned by an authority figure. This time the gang gets summoned to the Lansford College. Seems some local thugs are a bit miffed at a trio of newly arrived exchange students.
There's Ahmed Al Din from Africa, Samu Rau from India, and Hans Vernick from Europe. Not any one particular country just Africa and Europe.
It seems the thugs aren't racist, no, they're just concerned about the safety of Honey Bun. Honey Bun being the giant mech being built at the local defense plant. So when Hans is found snopping around, well, does that prove them right?
Turns out, no. Oh Hans was looking to steal the plans but only to keep them safe. Seems he recongized the good doctor as a spy from the old country and wished to keep them safe. Seems like he could have mentioned that earlier, but we do get to see Robin take down a 1960's mech so there's that.
