NorBac must find a cure to a bacterium that will surely kill David and Bob if they do not succeed. They also need to engineer the cure so that it eradicates the bacterium that was probably transported by the wind after the explosion of the lab in Utah.

David discovers that NorBac has been tapped by Riddlemeyer. The team must find what caused the bear to attack Craig with no reason as a human being is presenting the same symptom. To save Bob's eyesight, David decide on a peculiar procedure.

NorBAC discovers a link between the tantalum contamination and the recent smallpox scam; a viral activation of dormant genes evolves Bob into a higher consciousness.
