::::*  '''Opening Cut-Away Scene''':  the Horrible Case of Bloody Jack - [http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/The_Horrible_Case_of_Bloody_Jack#issue_.232 Ripper Recap PART II] - these scenes have opened on the scenes of "the Ripper" murders.
:::  Rushing back to London to find Pym in hopes of explanation or aid, the team learns that Pym had formerly been working in Paris with a mechanics group but now has been relocated to work with Starkweather.
:::  Lady Van Dyne telegraphs Starkweather to arrange his aid in finding Pym.  Even though it is late at night when they arrive, the Wasp's allure aids entrance to Starkweather's home.
:::  The team learns that Pym is working on Starkweather's new textile factory machines and has a "laboratory" in Whitechapel.  Starkweather gives the Avengers the apartment address and notes on the location his investigators have learned where Pym frequents a brothel and opium den.
:::  When the Avengers arrive at Pym's apartment they find the entire floor has been seemingly condemned and boarded over.  After some investigation the team learns that Pym has reduced everything (using his "Pym Perfumes") within the apartments to a mini-city so that he can have immense areas for his colonies of insects and his lab work.  
:::  After minor dealings with the Pym Perfumes and insects the team search to find Pym not there.  Lady Van Dyne retires for the evening as Argonaut and the Marshal seek Pym at the opium den...
:::  Pym had struck the ire of the den's owners and now was being beaten by tough ruffins, but Marshal America saves the scientist before breaking his nose himself for his bad behavour.
:::  Pym wakes the next morning in the cells of the Tower of London.  The team interogate him until they're satisfied that he's not directly responsible for the events on the Isle of Wight.  But they learn much from the scientist about the natures and connections of the trenches and mythology and the faerie realms.
:::  During these discussions, Commander Dee brings to the attention of the team the appearance of at least 8 total of these 200 meter holes in different parts of the world and across the Empire.  Argonaut speculates that these holes are actually forming Antipodes on the opposite sides of the globe from one another!  
:::  Together Pym and Argonaut guess that the strange "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menhir Menhir]" with the odd silver etched symbols in them, reportedly on the edges of these holes have some sort of powering mechanism or something...
:::  To end this issue the group makes plans to assault the Magma-Men, hoping to capture the large rock at the center of the disturbance believing that it is a key to the invasions!
