Summary (from http://milestone.luthor.com/comics_detail.asp?ID=169&):

Hardware is a prisoner of Malleus on Transformation Station. We learn the origin of Malleus and his obsession with grafting. We learn about how he is connected with St. Cloud. Malleus tricks Hardware into escaping with his armor. Malleus's troops (Orgami, Barnacle Bill, Melt) take Hardware to the moon where a trap awaits. Then Malleus releases his trap as he tries to graft Curtis to the Hardware armor.
