	Having received an e-mail containing documents that allege to be from the future and warning of the impending outbreak of a lethal virus, the conspiracy theorist trio known as the [[Lone Gunmen]]—[[John Byers]], [[Melvin Frohike]], and [[Richard Langly]]—have begun investigating the urban legends mentioned in the documents in hope of averting the looming disaster. Following a small-scale release of the virus in Winchester, the Gunmen's encounters with a team of [[New York City\|New York]]-based [[Ghostbusters\|ghost-hunters]] and a quartet of sewer-dwelling mutant turtles have yielded the revelation that the virus was seemingly engineered by [[Skylogic Systems]].

	Some internet research into Skylogic by Langly has yielded a contact who claims to have information for them, but at a meeting in the dead of night, the three men are shocked when their "contacts" turn out to be a driverless truck and car which transform into robots! The two robots demand to know what the Gunmen have done with their ally [[Ratchet (G1)\|Ratchet]], but when their sensors are able to verify that the humans' confusion is genuine, they introduce themselves as [[Optimus Prime (G1)\|Optimus Prime]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)\|Bumblebee]], members of a race of alien robots who have been secretly protecting [[Earth]] for centuries. They explain that when Ratchet investigated a strange signal that the [[Autobot]]s feared could be the return of the [[Decepticon]]s, he was captured, managing only to send out a scrambled transmission referring to "Skylogic" before going offline; Prime and 'Bee suspected that the Gunmen were connected and may have been attempting to lure them into a similar trap. The Gunmen, in turn, explain that they are investigating Skylogic because of the virus, which they now realize was created with a hybrid of mutant cells and Ratchet's robotic "[[CNA\|DNA]]". They present Prime with a picture of the man who unleashed the virus in Winchester, and the Autobot leader is able to enhance it and interface with CCTV cameras across the country to identify him as [[David Simmons]].

	Calling on their [[FBI]] ally [[Fox Mulder]] for help in tracking Simmons down through his credit card, the Gunmen and the Autobots corner their suspect in a motel room and nonchalantly abduct him, taking him to an abandoned warehouse for interrogation. Simmons explains, with minimal coercion, that years ago, he and several other scientists were approached by the government and presented with proof that [[alien]]s existed, and were plotting to conquer the Earth with a race of alien-human hybrids. They created the virus as a means of stopping this invasion, as it was intended to only affect these hybrids, but the field test in Winchester proved it was still harmful to humans. A second, supposedly-perfected batch is set for imminent release, but Simmons is now attempting to flee the country because he does not believe it could have been made safe in such a short space of time. Simmons is unaware of his true employer; Skylogic merely manufactured the virus and shipped it elsewhere, but he provides them with an address for Skylogic and codes to get into its systems.
