Synopsis for "A Ghost from the Tomb"
As the Director debriefs Agent 37 following his return from a mission where he encountered Lex Luthor[1] he is also subjected to a physical search by Dr. Netz to ensure he has not been contaminated before he is sent off on his next mission.
A cargo ship, Monarch, is boarded by Tiger Shark for a priceless animal skin that they were returning to a tribe. His demands are interrupted by a henchman discovering two crew members without faces; Agents 1 and 37 then begin to liberate the ship. The two effortlessly defeat the would-be coup and, finding a moment along, Grayson phones Red Robin for a briefing and an update on Agent 0's identity and that she has been tracking Grayson from the start.
Bertinelli attends a meeting in Brazil with a shadowed council and implies that they pick a side between Spyral and Checkmate before flying to Spandau in Germany to solve an issue caused by the God Garden. Agents 1 and 37 track down Ladytron who had been teleported down to scout for signs of activity. From a distance Midnighter watches the two agents launch their ambush and he heads down into a café for a coffee and a slice of cake where, unbeknownst to him, Agent 0 is sat outside reading poetry.
