Summary

  Omega Red attacks the Epsilon Red lab to get data to cure his own virus. The Acolytes and Cable arrive, quickly overcome the guards, and realize that Omega Red is already gone. His next step will be attacking Magneto's arctic base, to get to Avalon, since his cure can only be administered in space.

  Katu tells his story: he was an Inuit fisherman whose village was massacred by Russian soldiers and Omega Red, because his mutant ability was scrambling their satellite transmissions.

  Cable and the Acolytes break into the arctic base, only to find Omega Red already there and defeated. Cable realizes it is a setup: the Acolytes have captured him to get him to fix Avalon.
