When Khanata tries to intimidate Kiber by telling him about T'Challa, Kiber is intrigued and sends his agents back out to abduct him. T'Challa is still trying to figure out how the agents penetrated the Wakandan border when they swarm in through the solid mountainside, using a version of the transmatter device Kiber developed in his previous life as a scientist. The agents succeed in capturing T'Challa and he awakens in their base. Learning that he can't touch Kiber, T'Challa figures out that the man he sees is a projection and the real Kiber is hidden elsewhere in the complex. He uses his newfound psychic link with Khanata to have him spur the other prisoners into working together to break free and start a revolt, then seeks out Kiber's true form in the chaos.
