Ion Interrupt a Cue Down time

Question

I am having trouble with a couple of cues for the finale of our show. We have the first cue (LX_Q_100) where the LX state is coming down over 120 seconds. The next cue (LX_Q_101) gets called about 1minute and 10 seconds into the cue which has times of 4 seconds both ways with a follow of 5 seconds and the finale cue (LX_Q_102) has times of 0 (snap blackout). The problem is that there are a number of lights still fading out from LX Q 100 and don't snap out with LX Q 102? I would really appreciate any help. 
 Thank you

You need to Assert Cue 102 - [Cue] [102] [Assert] [Enter]. 
 Essentially this will force all channels to go to the levels defined in your blackout cue, in the time specified by that cue, even if a previous cue still has them under control and is fading them out slowly. 
 That's not a very good explanation of what Assert actually is however. The manual is quite good at this bit! 
 Edit: It may also be wise to Intensity Block your blackout cue. [Cue] [102] [Intensity] [Block] [Enter]. I believe you can get "Intensity" on the command line by hitting the "Custom" button on the top right of the console?..
