***Micronauts 2*** is the second issue of IDW Publishing's *Micronauts* series.

## Publisher's Summary

*JOURNEY THROUGH MICROSPACE! The reign of BARON KARZA stretches through all of known space… but a small band of renegades have other ideas. Action like you’ve never seen before!*

## Synopsis

Attacked by Phobos units, at the Valtricos Research Station, the crew of the *Heliopolis* freefall through space and land on the planet below. The *Heliopolis* is badly damaged, forcing the crew to head to a nearby town to find replacement parts.

The reason for Valtricos Research Station being in orbit of the planet is revealed. It was intended to deliver a biological agent for testing on the planet. When Oz and his companions breached the facility, it triggers the launch of the agent. Larissa initially attempts to contain the agent with her force fields, but she cannot make them airtight. Oz places the canister inside Biotron's sealed pilot compartment, safely containing the release of the bio agent.

Baron Hraal Karza's Acroyear II forces attack, but the crew are rescued by the arrival of the Ministry of Science's Space Gliders led by Baron Daegon.

## Quotes

"*Biotron – those Phobos units … they attacked without a biological interface.*"
"*Affirmative, Oziron Rael. They were pre-conditioned to attack unathorized personnel accessing station data.*"
"*So… you're saying this is my fault.*"
"*Affirmative.*"
—Oziron Rael and Biotron**[src]**

"*Phen, stay here and look after the ship. Microtron, I want you with us.*"
"*Excellent! Finally, I'm chosen for the away team, rather than being left behind like some unnecessary cog! Oh. Sorry, Phen. I didn't mean to imply–*"
—Oziron Rael and Microtron**[src]**

"*Why have you not chosen a side in the war? Your people–*"
"*My people knew that this war is a lie. The universe is dying. It's being eaten away from the inside out. In the beginning, maybe the ministries had good intentions… but now they're just using this… apocalypse… as a way to seize power.*"
—Larissa and Oziron Rael**[src]**
