Synopsis[]
Part One[]
Savage and Silk ambush a Volg convoy on a remote Scottish border road. The convoy is carrying plans for the liquidation of The Gorbals Ghetto, the ghetto being a walled-off area where all the Scottish fighters have been imprisoned. Savage and Silk infiltrate the ghetto, show the plans to the Scots there, and get them to start making weapons[2].
Part Two[]
The Volgans attack the ghetto but the Scots, led by Savage, are prepared, striking back, defeating the attackers and arming themselves in the process[3].
Part Three[]
The Volgans use an army of convicted criminals from Barlinnie Prison, known as 'The Barlinnie Brigade', armed with flamethrowers to attack the rebels. Savage uses firetrucks to form a barricade, and then uses the ladders to climb over the fire and drop down amongst the attackers. Savage and his rebels defeat the Barlinnie Brigade, then don their uniforms to surprise the Volgans, thereby defeating them as well. They take Volgan vehicles and escape from Glasgow towards the Scottish Highlands[4].
Part Four[]
On the Highland road, Savage's convoy is attacked by a Volgan jet, but Savage lures the jet into some power cables. A Volgan convoy is close behind them on the road, so they leave behind a couple of their strongest fighters who have been wounded to hold the pass long enough for Savage & Silk to get away[5].
Part Five[]
With Savage and Silk now above the snowline, the Volgans call in a squad of elite ski-troops. The pair take refuge in an abandoned ski lodge. Savage sees animal tracks in the snow and lures the Volgans into a room being used as a den by a pack of wildcats. The wildcats kill the ski-troops while Savage & Silk escape north to meet up with more Resistance fighters[6].
