Authority/StormWatch/WildCATS: Coup d'Etat

In this WildStorm Universe crossover, Tao places a device in the hands of the U.S. Government that allows them to enter the Bleed, where it explodes, damaging a vessel of an alien race and starting an interdimensional war. This is the event that causes the Authority's takeover of the U.S. Government and forces Stormwatch: Team Achilles underground.
