The Martez Incident
First Appearance: "
Blood Ties."
Details: In exchange for a financial loan from
Mason Eckhart to keep her company solvent,
Nexxogen's head
Nicole Carter conducted cloning experiments on new mutants at the behest of rival company Genomex. The mutants subjects of these experiments died horrific deaths when their cells mutated out of control. Nicole and Mason conspired to cover up the incident by destroying the evidence in a warehouse explosion, calling the affair an "industrial accident." Unfortunately for them, Nexxogen's head of security,
Noah Kilmartin, caught evidence of the truth on a disk, which he used to blackmail them.
Security Alert from the former
Genomex.net website: SECURITY UPDATE: Martez Cloning Incident Noah Kilmartin Nexxogen GENOMEX SECURITY FILE #EOG997KN SUBJECT: Noah Kilmartin, Nexxogen & Martez Incident
CODE RED status has been removed from the Nexxogen/Martez mutant cloning case as all evidence connecting it to Genomex is now destroyed. Mr. Eckhart does not extend congratulations to the GSA, however, as it was a maneuver of the outlaw team Mutant X that disposed of the linking data. Unit Chiefs are advised to up their departments' productivity this coming period to counter the incident without further reprimand. A CODE ORANGE alert remains on rogue soldier of fortune Noah Kilmartin II, age 49. Although no longer in possession of the incriminating Nexxogen file disk, he retains damaging knowledge of our agency and various personnel which are considered a viable threat to security. Kilmartin's capture would also valuable due to the identity of his son, Jesse Kilmartin, a Molecular New Mutant and member of Mutant X (see security file #MX999MKJ). Mr. Eckhart feels a certain amount of leverage could be used to either excise information on Adam's crew from the father or incite defection of the son to the GSA fold. In either scenario, Noah Kilmartin is to be brought in alive. His physical state must allow him to be able to speak. Agents are advised to use their own discretion in this matter. WARNING: Although Kilmartin is NOT a New Mutant; he is a highly trained, covert guerilla operative and should be considered EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. An updated security file will be available on him at the end of day (tentatively, #EOG997KN). ADDITIONAL NOTE: All existing data on Nexxogen and the Martez cloning explosion are to be expunged from the Genomex network systems. Hard copies and photographs are to be handed over to department heads immediately. Any mention of the incident after this time will be considered a punishable act of insubordination. Refer to section H. Nondisclosure and Consequence in your employment contracts for further details.
