Shalimar intercepts three ferals trying to blow up Biocorp. She stops their mission but they escape, one of them seemingly ill. Mutant X identifies them through a tattoo: they are members of Dark Star, an internatinal anti-terrorist unit. The gang tracks them down - the ill man is now dead, and the other two have no idea what a "new mutant" is. They were sent to Bogata on a mission for Biocorp, which turned out to be an experiment by Eckhart involving a rare plant that causes people to become new mutations. The two soldiers, Beau and Angel, are the last mutated survivors: the rest died, and even Angel is slowly dying as well. Eckhart needs a living subject to complete the experiment. While Adam races to save Angel, Beau and Shalimar break into Biocorp to capture a plant sample. Jesse escapes with it, but the other two are captured and taken to Genomex. Shalimar breaks free and helps Beau to escape, Adam manages to come up with a cure, and Brennan destroys the remaining plant samples at Biocorp
