Synopsis for "Siege Perilous"

Cybermancer and V.I.R.G.I.L. use hard-light constructs against the Force Works team. Cybermancer locates a thermal imbalance in the cooling system, and V.I.R.G.I.L. explains that the system is not covered by his holonet. Cybermancer goes to check for intruders, and is knocked out by Spider-Woman.

V.I.R.G.I.L. uses a holographic body to attack Spider-Woman, but War Machine arrives and rescues her. The Scarlet Witch and U.S. Agent teleport to V.I.R.G.I.L.'s control room and destroy its control panels. Scarlet Witch then uses a hex to reset V.I.R.G.I.L.'s whole system to zero. V.I.R.G.I.L. is effectively destroyed, and the countdown for the chronographic weapon it was operating is aborted.
