Synopsis: All Dire Wraiths on Earth meet after hours at the headquarters of the United Nations to discuss their plans for world conquest. The female Wraith witches kill all of the male Wraith scientists and decide that their future will be solely dictated by magic rather than technology. Unaware of these developments, Rom whines incessantly about his lost humanity until Starshine is able to snap him out of it and convince him that life is still worth living.
