Robyn proposes they simply give Ultima what she wants to make her stop, figuring she'll either calm down enough for them to detain her or she'll overdose. While Smax is still fighting Ultima, Robyn has one of her drones inject the Xenite into the back of her head. ''All'' of it. This plays out badly for Ultima ''and'' Robyn. Ultima immediately realizes she's been given too much and foams at the mouth knowing she's about to die. With her last breath she lets out an energy blast that would've killed Robyn had Smax not intervened. It does leave Robyn badly injured and hospitalized for the rest of the first series.]]
