Thanks to a tip from John Stone (Wildstorm's version of James Bond), Elijah Snow discovers that a spaceship launched 150 years earlier is about to return to Earth and that the Four will probably send someone to get it.
William Leather (the Human Torch) reaches the drop site of the large metal ball and is captured by Drum and Jakita.
After imprisoning him, Jakita opens the capsule and discovers 3 skeletons inside.
They are members of the Gun Club, a secret group that in 1851 attempted a journey to the Moon using a giant rifle (as in Jules Verne's 1865 story “From the Earth to the Moon”).
The ship remained in geosynchronous orbit for 150 years, with no possibility of deviation, as it had no engines.
