Summary

  Nate has a job on a yacht, where he is approached by a beautiful blonde. He is suddenly uncontrollably hungry and thirsty, even attacking the crew, and he sees a reflection of himself dying.

  Blaquesmith, in New York, records a spike of psi-energy and realizes it's just like Cable but without the t-o virus. Rex tracks it, too, boards the ship, kills a crewman, and attacks Nate, who soon runs out of energy. Just then, Dark Beast appears and kills Rex with a hypodermic.
