OM-A paced back and forth in front of the whaling ships' bound crewmembers. The hardened whalers looked at him with wide eyes. He saw a desperate sort of hope in the way they each stared up at him. Their hope was misplaced but hardly incomprehensible. OM-A wore Aquaman's classic form. His green and gold uniform caught the light brilliantly, its glory seemingly undiminished from the days when Aquaman had fought side by side with the rest of the JLA. That was another life now, almost another world...<br/><br/>"I never knew you to be one for theatrics Atlantean."<br/>The cold machine voice of Brainiac was unmistakable. Turning around he saw the conqueror of earth had arrived with what he requested. At the base of the android's feet a group of terrified women sat huddled together in their nightgowns. Under their deal, Brainiac had left the Earth's oceans to Aquaman. Aquaman in turn let the inhuman devil have undisputed control of the land and its citizens. However, on this occasion, Brainiac's subjects had broken the sanctity of OM-As domain. For this reason the supervillain had brought, as a form of concession, the whalers wives.<br/><br/>"I have found this to be method to be most effective Brainiac. If I simply threaten the whaler's lives then they still come. If I kill the whalers outright then others replace them. My machine half came up with a superior solution to this problem. Kill the whalers and let others know that families of whalers shall be held accountable as well. This assures my subjects remain unmolested by these demons"<br/><br/>At OM-A's command his army of sea creatures picks the women off the boat. The innocent women are dragged, screaming, overboard into the frothing ocean. Under the waves their lives will become living nightmares. OM-A sees to their torture personally though he takes little joy in the act.<br/><br/>The women gone from view, OM-A turns back to the whalers. Their eyes are devoid of hope or feeling now. He makes a note to spare one life, a survivor would need to report back what he had seen today.  Cybernetic armor manifests around Aquaman, its durable form cracking as it hardens over him. OM-A steps up to the first man in line, the captain of the ship. Raising his clawed fist he prepares to ram it down through the mans head. He lifts it up and with a roar slams his clawed hand down into...<br/><br/>A sterile metallic floor? Aquaman stares around blankly at the teleport room and its vaguely familiar looking occupants. His cyborg shell is mostly gone, all that is left is the clawed gauntlet currently stuck in the floor beneath him.<br/><br/>“This isn’t my boat…” he mumbles as electricity arcs across his skin. It feels like some of his nano components have been damaged. It is not a pleasant feeling but the Atlantean has more pressing matters, such as where he is and why he is surrounded by superheroes he thought killed by Brainiac.<br/>
