THE STORY SO FAR: The Beta clones finalized their plans for their cross-country trek. Gen. Hill explained the true power of Code Phantom security clearance. The clones called home, to chat with family and lovers. John and the Mikes headed westward, to California . . . and a likely showdown with John Alpha.

Meanwhile back at the 7th Son facility, Jay, Jack, Kilroy2.0 and Father Thomas attempted to understand John Alpha's scheme. Kilroy2.0 enlisted the help of his cyberflock. Their dedication was chilling: "I comply."
