Everything went fine, Adam.

There was no GSA interference and no problems at the safe house.

Yeah, unless you count this girl trying to convince Jesse

to come with her into the underground as a problem.

I see.JESSE: I was only flirting.

I have no time for romance.

Far too busy making the world a safer place to live.

Oh, please.

Besides... she wasn'’t my type.

[STATIC]

[STATIC]

Freaks of the world, my name is Kilohertz

and I'’m here to speak to you, for you and about you.

I'’ve had it up to here with the way we'’re treated.

So consider this fair warning, we have the power,

and we'’re not going to take it any more.

[ALARM BEEPING]

[THUDDING]

Adam, whatever that was, we just lost power.

And the computers are down.

Yeah, I'’m offline here, too. Hold on.

I'’ll try to reboot.

It'’s going to take me a few minutes to link back up.

Yeah, well, in a few minutes, we'’re going to be a smear on the landscape.

We were pulling into the garage when that power surge hit.

BRENNAN: What'’s going on, Adam?

Jesse and Shalimar are up in the Double Helix.

They'’ve lost power and I can'’t reboot them from here.

It won'’t reboot. I don'’t have enough juice.

Damn.

Okay, stand back. Stand back.

[EXHALES]

Okay, try it now.

[BEEP]

Shalimar, Jesse, you there?

JESSE: Just got the manual override unlocked.

SHALIMAR: We'’re still diving.

JESSE: Okay, I got it, got it.

SHALIMAR: We'’re leveling off.

[ALARM BEEPS]

Maybe we won'’t cut it so close next time, huh?

Too much of an adrenaline rush, even for me.

[CHUCKLES]

Yeah. Roger that.

[SIGHS]

Well, you just saved their lives.

What was that all about?

That was about a New Mutant that we'’ve got to find

before the GSA does.

For his sake and ours.

[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

Is it just me or is this Kilohertz guy too much or what?

A dozen counts of electronic vandalism in a week and counting?

A million e-mails rerouted to never be seen again?

The guy'’s a riot.

I know we believe everything we'’re told... Mute.

You seen the message ports?Yeah. It looks like

everybody in the world'’s bending over backwards

trying to figure out how he does it.

Yeah, well, every New Mutant knows the truth.

It'’s a threat to everything we'’re doing.

Well, you don'’t have to convince me.

He almost got me and Jesse killed.

And he'’s causing trouble for people who have nothing

to do with New Mutants, too.

A high school freshman was beaten into a coma

by three students who decided he was a freak.

You know, these hospitals have lost power during his last rampage.

Yeah, well, lucky the emergency generators kicked in.

You know, and the traffic accidents he'’s caused

by hitting the power grid, that'’s not winning him many friends.

Part of me thinks that his rants are a cry for help.

Yeah, but that'’s not helping the people he'’s hurt.

Yeah, and sooner or later, people are going to realize

what he really means by "freak."

And us, New Mutants, will take the heat for that.

I assume you'’ve heard about this Kilohertz, Mr. Renfield,

and his invasion of this facility?

It'’s all anyone at the academy's talking about, Mr. Eckhart.

Allowing him to continue to operate could be a disaster for the GSA.

The minute the general public gets an idea of these anomalies out there,

our work gets harder... and uglier.

I mean, the last thing we want is public knowledge of these monstrosities.

It'’s bad enough these super-powered freaks are out there

just waiting to ambush the status quo,

but to have this anarchist electronically invade this facility

and wreak electronic havoc at will...

Well, we have to stop him.

I understand completely, sir.

I see you'’re in your final semester.

I seem to recall that your indoctrination had its problematic sides.

Got off to a rough start, sir,

but once I realized everything

The Genetic Security Agency has to offer...

And everything you and your powers have to offer the GSA.

It'’s rare that so raw a recruit

is pressed into early service.

Early service?
