SOMEWHERE BETWEEN CALVIN CITY AND IVY TOWN...
A Chinese man in a dark coat and glasses walks into an abandoned train station, looking over his shoulder to make sure he is not followed. He does not notice the Cybernaut, who tails him into the building.
Infiltrating the base, Cybernaut finds a Kobra team working in some kind of research facility, vials of glowing liquids, equipment and computer banks line the walls. Cybernaut surveys his surroundings with his super senses and mentally melds with a computer while hidden. Along with military information and scientific data, he learns about the spy ring's plans: they are attempting to synthesize a Lazarus pit.
He is discovered by computer security programs and infected with a super computer virus. He is contacted by "Sketch", his connection at the mysterious agency Black Box. It is revealed, however, that Sketch is an AI. She selflessly removes the virus... only to be infected herself.
Cybernaut awakens to Red Phoenix helping him up and aiding him in his escape, chastising him for his foolishness. Though Cybernaut tries to contact Sketch, the AI is silent. The two are discovered by Kobra agents and the alarm goes off. A huge kung fu/firefight ensues-- it ends only with Red Phoenix's smarmy brother "Rat" (a cunning survivor and gadget lover) appears, revealing himself as the master of the spy ring...
