Lunar Cave4354/52
Stuart Roslyn (PRS)Craig Sunderland (PRS)Matthew Foundling (PRS)

Lux Lamina4354/59
Stuart Roslyn (PRS)Craig Sunderland (PRS)Matthew Foundling (PRS)

Soul Fire4354/67
Stuart Roslyn (PRS)Craig Sunderland (PRS)Matthew Foundling (PRS)

Mutate4354/85
Stuart Roslyn (PRS)Craig Sunderland (PRS)Matthew Foundling (PRS)
