==== Plot ====

The AH.commers revisit the [[offtopic:Earth]] featured in [[offtopic:AFTER CUBA]]. They beam down to the [[offtopic:New United Nations]] in [[offtopic:Hawaii]] and meet the delegates, including [[offtopic:Civiliser]] and alternate versions of [[offtopic:Flocculencio]] and [[offtopic:Othniel]]. They learn that the CF.netters are here, in Cuba itself - a blasted radioactive wasteland - and are helping a mysterious figure called [[offtopic:Quatmin]] to rebuild a nuclear arsenal (forbidden by the N.U.N.). [[offtopic:Ward]] sends a transmission demanding various items from the N.U.N., or else the CF.netters will launch a second nuclear holocaust - one from which the planet will not recover.

The N.U.N. turn to the AH.commers to save them, as none of the N.U.N. countries have the technology to safely cross radioactive Cuba. [[offtopic:Doctor What]] gets [[offtopic:Dave Howery]] to build a suit of three metre thick lead plates, but when that proves somewhat impractical, [[offtopic:Thande]] instead creates an anti-radiation drug called [[offtopic:Inadvisabline]]. 

The AH.commers get to Cuba and fight off attacks by [[offtopic:fortyseven]], [[offtopic:FederationX]], [[offtopic:Gedca]] and [[offtopic:DominusNovus]]. They eventually reach the CF.netters' base and Doctor What hands over everything the CF.netters demanded (apparently, when the N.U.N. saw Dave's suit, they gave up all hope). Ward leaves and [[offtopic:Grimm Reaper]] is about to abort the nuclear launch, when Quatmin reappears and shows that he is actually [[offtopic:MerryPrankster]], on a mission to destroy this America-less world. 

The AH.commers do manage to stop the nukes anyway, but they explode on the ground; [[offtopic:G.Bone]] randomly teleports them to the [[offtopic:Ukraine]] just in time, and they just escape being cannibalized by [[offtopic:Midgard]] when [[offtopic:Ottoman]] cavalry under an alternate [[offtopic:Abdul Hadi Pasha]] appears.

==== Reception ====

[[offtopic:MerryPrankster]] was somewhat unhappy with his character's behavior (which seemed to clash with his earlier portrayals as one of the more moderate, sane members of the CF.net crew), and Thande himself disliked some of the changes to the episodes the [[offtopic:EIC]] made, including altering the ending.
