Gwen Stacy’s delegation exposed Kang’s attempt to exploit Engine Three, rescued Erik Lehnsherr, and secured concessions from Battleworld. Back in the Negative Zone, Lynn confronted a hostile audit that tried to transfer Battleworld’s debts, leaving Ravonna under investigation and seeking a private meeting.

• Gwen Stacy used the security drill and a legal maintenance port to investigate Engine Three, where Wanda discovered that Kang was channeling Battleworld’s rules into the Negative Zone, and Erik Lehnsherr’s life began failing.
• Gwen Stacy secured Erik’s release by invoking his legal status and negotiating a technical-assistance memorandum, while Wanda’s Phoenix-signature firewall code was implanted in the Rule Engine.
• Kang appeared as Ke’er’s sabotage triggered a structural collapse, but Jean Grey used Lynn’s bronze gear to restore the engine’s original instructions and expel Kang’s will.
• Gwen Stacy won compensation and permanent passage through the Third Interdimensional Passage, and the delegation returned to Chinatown with Erik and the engine logs.
• Lynn found evidence that Ke’er had transferred energy to an account linked to the Multiverse Coordination Committee, then received the Committee’s order for a comprehensive inspection of the Negative Zone.
• Ravonna Renslayer arrived with a takeover order, but Lynn delayed the handover with a liability waiver as her aide secretly targeted the server cluster.
• Wanda uncovered an attempt to graft Battleworld’s bad debt onto the Negative Zone’s accounts, while Lynn’s team blocked the auditors and moved the Committee’s core assets through the A-7 Port.
• At the dawn hearing, Gwen Stacy exposed the audit team’s attempted debt graft, Lynn accused Ravonna of misconduct, and the inspector adjourned as an officer asked Lynn to meet Ravonna alone.

Lynn used Negative Zone procedure and Sylvie’s intelligence to resist the TVA’s attempt to seize her and erase his jurisdiction, while his team contained the pruning order and Alioth. At the Citadel, He Who Remains offered Lynn a role managing the Multiverse’s temporal waste, and a sealed TVA inspection team arrived as Gwen enforced quarantine.

• Lynn secured Ravonna’s signature on an inspection-exemption filing, then discovered Sylvie had vanished from surveillance and found her hiding at port No. 11.
• Lynn sheltered Sylvie from the TVA’s Hounds by using the exemption memorandum, then appointed her a temporary consultant and delayed the TVA’s extradition demand through procedural review.
• Lynn and Gwen used forged evidence and a bilateral hearing to exploit divisions within the TVA, while Sylvie’s hidden signal disrupted the hearing and drew the attention of He Who Remains.
• Lynn activated the Abyss Protocol when the TVA threatened to erase the Negative Zone, and Wanda and Jean protected the territory from the Omnidirectional Pruning Order with a combined data firewall.
• Sylvie revealed that the Temporal Loom was nearing collapse and helped Lynn obtain records showing that He Who Remains had ordered the pruning without the required review, prompting Lynn to appeal to oversight bodies.
• Lynn’s team seized Alioth under Negative Zone regulations, then dealt with energy shortages and black-market hoarding before Lynn traveled to the Citadel at the End of Time.
• He Who Remains offered Lynn independent lordship over a Multiverse Flood-Control Special Zone, and Lynn demanded formal protections and equal access to the Loom’s backend data before considering the deal.
• Gwen required Proctor’s arriving TVA inspection team to undergo quarantine and extensive checks, but Proctor presented a transit authorization bearing He Who Remains’s personal seal.

Lynn turned the TVA’s scrutiny into a joint office and uncovered a Hydra conspiracy tied to Ke'er, whose final orders brought Earth-838’s Illuminati against the Negative Zone. After blocking their legal and military pressure, Lynn faced a mental attack from Charles Xavier, and Reed Richards authorized Wanda’s deployment.

• Gwen Stacy used a document-review procedure to hold Proctor’s TVA team at the border while Lynn negotiated a memorandum with He Who Remains, establishing a Cross-Dimension Coordination Office and appointing Ravonna as its observer.
• Ravonna’s audit uncovered Ke'er’s name on a Hydra infiltrator list and evidence that TVA leaders had routed funds to Hydra, so Lynn helped her frame the report around Ke'er’s misconduct and legacy risks.
• The Negative Zone’s investigation uncovered Ke'er’s encrypted order for Project Insight, prompting Lynn to raise alert levels and order an investigation into HYDRA and Earth-838.
• Earth-838 demanded Wanda Maximoff and other committee members, but Lynn delayed the extradition through formal review while Gwen found an old memorandum authorizing the Illuminati to purge certain variants.
• Hela rejected Baron Mordo’s demand for immediate passage, and Ravonna helped Lynn file a jurisdictional objection that stalled the Illuminati’s threatened compulsory adjudication.
• Wanda revealed that Project Insight could extract power from captured variants, while Earth-838’s fleet blockaded the C-7 Portal and cut off the Negative Zone’s routes.
• Lynn declared the portal area a military exclusion zone, and Hela’s forces disabled Mordo’s ships after they crossed the boundary, and Gwen arrested Mordo and his crew.
• Charles Xavier attacked Lynn through a mental projection, but Jean Grey’s Phoenix Firewall repelled him, leading Reed Richards to authorize Wanda’s deployment to the Negative Zone.

Lynn turned the Illuminati’s attack on the Negative Zone into a compensation case, protected Wanda-838, and recruited Susan Storm after her failed infiltration. A summons from the Living Tribunal then prompted Lynn to demand TVA participation and financial responsibility while Susan uncovered a potentially useful precedent.

• Reed Richards deployed Scarlet against the Negative Zone, but Lynn contained her and restored Wanda-838’s emotions through variant resonance.
• Lynn appointed Wanda-838 as a probationary associate researcher and granted her humanitarian asylum to stop the Illuminati’s remote erasure attempt.
• Lynn demanded three trillion standard energy units from the Illuminati and instructed Ravonna to report the incident to the TVA Commission for Discipline Inspection.
• Wanda-838 passed Hela and Wanda’s assessments and submitted a proposal to improve the Negative Zone’s defenses.
• Reed sent Susan to infiltrate the Negative Zone, where Lynn’s officers trapped her and exposed records of the Illuminati’s dealings with the TVA before arresting her.
• Gwen presented evidence at the hearing, and the Presiding Judge ordered compensation, froze major Illuminati routes, and placed Mordo and Susan Storm in TVA custody.
• Susan Storm lost trust in the Illuminati after meeting Wanda-838, supplied intelligence, and accepted an External Observer appointment under Lynn.
• Lynn isolated the Living Tribunal’s summons, requested a postponement and case details, and demanded that the TVA cover at least seventy percent of the costs before Susan Storm reported a potentially useful precedent.
