| Kate Denby is a doctor who works for GeneChem, trying to help figure out a cure to organs and medication to not be rejected by the human body. As the story starts she is being asked to leave Gene Chem to work on a project with Noah Smith, another doctor who is trying to figure out the answer to his pet project, RU2. Kate tells Noah no several times, not wanting to leave her home and uproot her 9 year old son. A couple of days later, Noah Smith's laboratory is blown to bits. The next day Kate's ex-husband (Michael) and a lab assistant that was Kate's friend (and just started dating Michael) were blown to bits a couple of yards away from her and her son (Joshua). As they were at the cemetary, Kate started walking back to her car and Noah Smith pulled her behind a tree and told her that she was the prime target (not Michael) and that she and her son were in a lot of danger. | ||
