Synopsis for 1st story

Rayna Masters and Andrew Barker land at the airport in Gamorra and proceed through customs, all secretly monitored by Hunter-Killers.  Armitage recognizes her and is ordered to capture her.  Offshore, Deathblow approaches the island in a stealth plane, recalling how Henri Rothschild’s daughter accessed Woodbern’s disk of evidence and found a connection between Project Genesis and organ harvesting in Gamorra.  Hunter-Killers abduct Masters from her hotel.  Barker tries to stop them but is fooled by a decoy.  Cray parachutes out of the plane, remembering his last mission in Gamorra 20 years ago with U.S. Navy SEAL Team Six.  Gamorra was a U.S. ally, and the team was sent in to suppress a rebellion. During the mission, Cray had his first encounter with cyborg Hunter-Killers.  One of the rebels, a young woman, wanted to expose the human experimentation that created the H-Ks so Cray let her go.  Kaizen Gamorra questions Rayna, demanding Woodbern’s disk, and shows her Woodbern being tortured.  Deathblow sneaks onto the island and is met by his contact, Mai-Li Tsung.  To his surprise, she is the same rebel woman he let go years ago.  They infiltrate Kaizen’s compound and meet up with Barker.  He reveals that Kaizen has Rayna, enraging Cray.
