Empress wakes one of the technicians, and begins questioning him.The crew has never actually met or worked directly with Doctor Apocalypse (the fellow that appeared on television and threatened to unleash further destruction if he wasn't paid).
They were recruited and trained by The Destroyers, Apocalypse's private group of super-villains. The Destroyers were very careful not to reveal much information about themselves. The only member they ever dealt with directly was a female who called herself The Iron Maiden. She constantly wore a sophisticated suit of powered armor from which she got her name. She was the one who worked with
them and trained them to operate the Doomsday Robot. The rest of The Destroyers are made up of four men and one other woman.
The location of The Destroyers' headquarters, is where where some of the individual crew members received technical training. That headquarters is made up of the top three floors of the Montuori Trade and Industries Building. It can be reached from the rooftop or via a private elevator
in the lobby. The elevator requires a special magnetic card to operate. The crew member would be happy to let her use his (the name on the card is Shanley.
