Seeds for the new Wreckers take root.

Synopsis

First Aid's boss, Pharma, catches him reading datalog 113 of Wreckers: Declassified when he should be working and orders him to go check on a Fader. While going to check on Roulette, First Aid recalls the time when Springer contacted him asking for help with a special project. He is surprised when newly injured members of Dogfight's recon team are brought into the medical ward. First Aid began carefully checking them all over, paying special attention to their Autobot insignias, while everyone else is confused by his strange behavior. He finds something of interest on Dodger and excitedly tells him he has to operate immediately. First Aid contacts Springer letting him know what he found.

Rung treats the shell-shocked Flattop and finds out that he is a Survivor of the Babu Yar atrocity. He was given a new body like any Survivor who requested one, and assigned to Silverstreak's group. On his first mission after recovering from Babu Yar, Flattop saw the Shimmer, which completely pushed him over the edge, and was why he was being treated by Rung now. As Rung gave Flattop scientific and psychoanalytical explanations for the Simmer, Flattop dies right there in his office.

Ironfist is questioned by the Ethics Committee regarding his invention of cerebro-sensitive bullets.
