Back at Homebase, Fraser, Victor and Nix look at satellite images of a civilisation located in Tasmania, The island covered in Winter.

Nix: So you're telling me someone made an island completely covered in snow, forever?
Fraser: Apparently for the past 17 years.
Victor: If your brother is anywhere, it's there.
Nix: And if it isn't?
Fraser: Then we don't know where your brother is. But how about we find out anyways?
Nix: First thing tomorrow-
Fraser: -No! First thing now!

Fraser wrapped his arms around Victor and Nix, holding them tight. Lightning hit the building hitting the power lines, the power flickered as electricity sparked from the TV, absorbing all three of them into the sky.
They traveled through the sky gliding through the clouds, Frasers lightning hitting the centre of the town.

Victor: Dude what the fuck?!
Fraser: What?! It's not like we're in danger!

Nix tapped Fraser on the shoulder, he looked noticing that the town did have occupants and that they were getting stared at. They all stood there wondering what to do.

Nix: We come in peace?

A woman appeared from one of the houses strutting towards the three of them, they overheard the townspeople whispering her name. "Rosemary"

Rosemary: What business do you have here outsiders?
Nix: We come in search of, well, my brother.
Rosemary: And you are?
Nix: My name is Noah Miles. Son of Artico.

Rosemary raised an eyebrow.

Rosemary: Son of Artico? Heh, no wonder you look familiar.

They saw someone walking behind Rosemary, long black hair to their shoulders, Fists made of pure ice. The man stood next to Rosemary.

Rosemary: They claim to be your brother, husband.
???: Really? Let's find out then.

The man fired two beams of ice from his arms, hitting all three of them freezing them solid. The couple stood there waiting for something, a movement, nothing, The Man chuckled.

???: "Brother" Hah! What a joke.

They walked over to the frozen outsiders, inspecting Nix.

Rosemary: I must say, the resemblance of your "brother" is astounding.

The crowd of people began to chant the mans name. "Artica"

Artica: If he was my brother he'd be able to withstand that.

Artica looked into Nix's eyes, staring him down, suddenly Nix's eyes lit on fire startling Artica. The ice around Nix shattered, grabbing Artica by the throat bringing him to his knees, Nix's arms on fire, Rosemary pulled out a switchblade holding it to Nix's throat.

Rosemary: Release him! Or else!

Thunder struck down on Fraser freeing him from the Ice, quickly grabbing hold of Rosemary, Victor vibrating out of the ice, looking at the sculpture that he had of himself.

Artica: What the fuck?!
Nix: My mother's name was Sophia Kaiva, my father was Lachlan Miles, I came here looking for help, for family, and you attack me.

Nix let go of Artica, backing away from him, Fraser doing the same.

Artica: You just waltz into my town making as much noise as possible and you think I'm stupid to not suppose you to be a threat?! And you claim to be my brother! Never once did my parents mention another child.
Nix: I was abandoned! Left in Newlatten!
Artica: Newlatten?
Nix: I only recently found out about my bloodline. About you, Aiden.
