Krastmala is a small hamlet, thirty miles north of Vlatavastok. The mining camp outside of the town is the region's primary employers. An underground branch of a river near the mine was discovered. In November Team Year Eight, two miners, two geologists, and a mining engineer were put in a comatose state by a toxin. Nearly two years later, in early November Team Year Ten, the mine was closed with no explanation. On November 10, 20:06 EET, a squad from the Team infiltrated the mine. Mist was assigned to stand guard while Nightwing, Spoiler, and Orphan descended down the mine. They transmitted their data to Oracle. Mist hailed them on comms to warn six of the individuals who kidnapped Queen Perdita Vladek and liberated Count Vertigo were headed to their location. Nightwing reminded Orphan not to kill anyone. To his shock, she immediately sliced one of their heads off. He caught it and realized they were all robots. Orphan signed their body language revealed they were not human. Spoiler translated but Nightwing informed her that he understood ASL, too.
Nightwing ordered them to take out the other five with extreme prejudice. They dodged sonic blasts. Nightwing took cover and quickly dismantled the faceplate. Mist arrived and solidified a small bit of her in 13 and it short-circuited. Spoiler blew up another. Nightwing hailed the rest of the Bat Family and asked for help in figuring out whose technology was used for the robot. Robin and Oracle searched for a match. Spoiler saw no point in assisting Orphan and stayed back with Mist. Oracle stabbed 14 and 15 then leaped and used the stalagmites to steer her onto 16's back. She stabbed its head and grounded it. Mist claimed she could have done that. Spoiler did not think so. Neither did Mist. Robin determined the robot contained proprietary technology common to Lex Luthor's Spider-Bots.
