YOU, SIR.
AND, IF I
MAY SAY SO, I WOULD LOVE
TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY
TO FULFIL THAT PROMISE.
SOONER,
RATHER THAN LATER.
WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOUR...
ULTIMATE PROFESSIONAL GOALS?
ULTIMATELY, I WOULD LIKE
TO HAVE YOUR JOB, SIR.

AND PRECISELY.
HOW WILL YOU PLAN YOUR CAREER
TRAJECTORY TO GET MY JOB?
BY TAKING HIS JOB.
NOW JUST
ONE DAMN MINUTE...
MR. DELAY IS
ONE OF MY MOST CAPABLE
AND TRUSTWORTHY AGENTS.
WHY SHOULD I TRANSFER
THAT TRUST TO YOU?
WELL, RIGHT NOW,
YOU SHOULDN'T, SIR.
GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY,
MY ACTIONS WILL SPEAK FOR ME.
SO I CHECKED OUT THE SECURITY
VIDEOS FROM THE SAFEHOUSE.
YEAH?
AND BESIDES OUR FRIENDS
GETTING ARRESTED FOR BEING
DIFFERENT, THERE'S REALLY
NOTHING WE DON'T ALREADY KNOW.
YOU THINK WE HAVE A
MOLE IN THE UNDERGROUND?
WELL,
ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE, BUT
MY INSTINCTS ARE TELLING ME
THEY'RE WORKING US
OVER FROM THE OUTSIDE.
YOUR INSTINCTS.
YEAH, COME ON
- I SPENT ENOUGH TIME
ON THE WRONG SIDE.
I CAN SMELL
A RAT A MILE AWAY.
MICHELLE?
WHAT ARE
YOU LOOKING AT?
THAT SECURITY VIDEO.
COME AND CHECK THIS OUT.
OKAY,
SO WHO'S MICHELLE?
THAT'S HER, THE
ONE ON THE RIGHT.
WHAT? YOU KNEW HER?
YEAH, WE WENT TO
HIGH SCHOOL TOGETHER.
WHAT? YOU GOT A HIGH
SCHOOL BUD WORKING AT THE GSA?
WE WERE PRETTY TIGHT FROM
FRESHMAN TO SENIOR YEAR,
BUT WE LOST TOUCH
AFTER GRADUATION.
SHE'S A
NEW MUTANT, TOO.
WE GOTTA DO A COMPLETE SWEEP
OF ALL THE SAFEHOUSES THAT
REMAIN UNCOMPROMISED SO WE
CAN FIGURE OUT WHERE THE BREACH
IS AND HOW TO CLOSE IT.
ALL RIGHT.
WELL, I'VE ALREADY
PUT TOGETHER A PLAN
BASED ON WHAT YOU TOLD ME.
BUT, I GOTTA BE HONEST WITH
YOU, ADAM, I DON'T THINK THE
PROBLEM'S WITH THE
PEOPLE WE'RE LETTING
INTO THE SAFEHOUSES.
WELL,
I TEND TO AGREE.
LET'S SEE HOW WE FEEL AFTER
WE DEBRIEF THE AIDE WHO ESCAPED.
NOW, EMMA TELLS ME
THAT THE GSA HAVE A TELECYBER
PSIONIC ON THEIR PAYROLL.
A WHAT?
WELL, I'VE DONE
SOME LIMITED EXPERIMENTS
SPLICING DNA STANDS WITH
WHAT ULTIMATELY
BECAME THE POST-SILICON-BASED
COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY?
YEAH.
I'VE HEARD OF THAT.
KIND OF LIVING ORGANIC
COMPUTERS, RIGHT?
WELL,
THAT'S STRETCHING A LITTLE.
BUT THESE
TELECYBERS CAN MENTALLY
INTERACT WITH COMPUTERS.
YOU KNOW,
BUT A LOT OF IT,
I JUST DON'T KNOW MUCH
ABOUT IT. IT'S STILL A MYSTERY.
WELL, COULD THAT
BE HOW THE GSA'S BUSTING
INTO OUR SAFEHOUSES?
YEAH.
THAT'S WITHIN THE
REALM OF POSSIBILITY.
WE GOTTA FIND OUT
SOME DATA ON THIS TELECYBER
- AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
OKAY.
HEY, GUYS.
I WENT TO GO MEET
UP WITH AN OLD FRIEND.
BE BACK IN AN HOUR.
YOU MADE ME LOOK LIKE AN
IDIOT TODAY, MISS BIGELOW.
YOU DON'T WANT
ME FOR AN ENEMY.
I DON'T WANT YOU
FOR A FRIEND, EITHER.
I SIMPLY STATED
THINGS AS I SAW THEM.
AND NOW IT'S
UP TO MR. ECKHART TO
DECIDE HOW TO PROCEED.
IT'S UP TO
YOU TO DO YOUR JOB AND
KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT.
NOBODY GIVES A DAMN ABOUT
YOUR INSIPID LITTLE OPINIONS.
WELL, MR. ECKHART
SEEMED PRETTY FASCINATED.
MR. ECKHART MAY HAVE
A GREAT DEAL OF CONFIDENCE
IN YOU AND YOUR ABILITIES...
FOR GOOD REASON.
...BUT I DON'T SHARE
HIS ENTHUSIASM.
A WORD OF ADVICE,
MISS BIGELOW: WATCH YOUR BACK.
WHEN I WANT YOUR ADVICE,
I'LL BEAT IT OUT OF YOU.
NOW, UNLESS YOU WANT ME TO TELL
MR. ECKHART JUST HOW YOUR
INEPTITUDE LET THOSE OTHER EIGHT
ANOMALIES SLIP
OUT OF YOUR HANDS,
I SUGGEST YOU LET
ME DO MY EVENING'S WORK.
SO, THIS TELECYBER
WITH THE GSA WENT TO
HIGH SCHOOL WITH EMMA, HUH?
YEAH.
COULD YOU
IMAGINE CONNECTED TO A
COMPUTER WITH YOUR MIND?
WELL,
ANYTHING THAT'D DO AWAY
WITH THE CARPAL TUNNEL
SYNDROME'S OKAY WITH ME.
CAN YOU
BELIEVE THIS GUY?
YOU WANT TO
TAKE HIM, OR SHALL I?
AH, GO AHEAD.

THOUGHT YOU HAD HIM.
I HATE THE SIMULATIONS.
HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT?
THE FIRST ONE OF YOU
TO LAUGH GETS A JUMP START.
NOTHING FUNNY
ABOUT THAT, BRENNAN.
IT'S NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT
A SUDDEN SURPRISE ATTACK FROM
HOSTILE FORCES, EITHER.
YOU COULD'VE
AT LEAST WARNED US THAT
IT WASN'T GOING TO BE
THE
