Jesse is in love with Toni, a computer hacker and new mutant. Eckhart, concerned about the fact that Proxy Blue knows about him, wants the virtual newscaster silenced. He employs Kendra, who gets close to Toni and then kidnaps her and puts her to work for Genomex duplicating Proxy Blue with Eckhart's message. Toni slipped a virus into Sanctuary's computers, mostly out of curiosity and the challenge. However, Genomex may be able to trace Sanctuary through her equipment: the computers may or may not have been fried by a stray blast from Brennan. Mutant X has never been able to penetrate Genomex in simulations. Toni manages to slip out the weakness in Genomex's defenses via one of her fake Proxy transmissions, and the team manages to rescue her and leave Eckhart's computers crippled. Toni joins the underground as a wandering troubleshooter, although she and Jesse still plan to get together
