Marcus Sindrell's Dominion ID card was found in his wallet. It was decided that Lexa would go alone because she was the only one that could turn invisible, and she knew the Dominion the best. It made more sense for only one to go because the fewer they send, the less likely they are to be discovered. Brennan unlocked Gary Welch's car and Lexa got into the back seat. She locked the door, and Brennan left her alone.

Eventually, Welch came into his car and drove off to Dominion headquarters. After about an hour of driving, they arrived. Welch got out of his car, and Lexa silently snuck out the back door when no one was looking. She used the stolen ID card belonging to Sindrell and got into the building. Invisible, Lexa wandered around the enormous building to find the Dominion Panel. The Panel was where all decision making took place. Lexa's Dominion contact was a member of the Panel. Lexa walked by laboratories and test facilities as well as monitoring stations, which was where the Dominion was constantly spying on suspicious targets. Fortunately, Sanctuary was not a place where they could spy.

Lexa eventually found the Dominion Panel's briefing room and stood by the door, waiting for it to open. She waited about a half hour before four people went into the room. As the door was open, Lexa slipped in and stood in a corner out of the way. Within five minutes, all eleven members of the panel were seated at their seats, including Lexa's contact. All Lexa knew about the panel was that the research department, the security department, and the intelligence department were all represented by two people. The other five were not representing a department; they had to look at everything from a perspective that considered the Dominion as a whole. Once everyone was seated, they began talking. At Sanctuary, Jesse, Shalimar, and Brennan were listening through Lexa's comm-link.

"Is Mutant X making any progress in finding the traitor?" the obvious head of the Dominion Panel asked.

Lexa's contact sat forward and leaned on the table. "They have confirmed that Sandra Alkins and Marcus Sindrell were behind it. The whereabouts of the disc are still unknown."

The leader shook his head. "That disc needs to be returned now!"

A woman spoke up. "Sindrell and Alkins?" They're both working on the virus. They both seemed opposed to the idea, but they were cooperative."

"Why would they steal the disc? Do you think they're going to try to blackmail us?" someone else said.

The leader stood and started to pace around the table. "If they wanted to blackmail us, they would have sent us a threat by now. That disc contains the identities of every Dominion employee. This information would definitely bring us down. They're going to take us down, and along with us will go our research."

"How much progress is being made on the virus?" a Panel member asked. "You started work on it about a month ago."

A Panel member stood up and lowered a projector screen. She inserted a chip into the projector, and chemical information came up on the screen. Lexa moved to a different corner so that she could see better.

The standing panel member switched the screen to show lab notes. "We are nearing the completion of a prototype of the virus. Our scientists hypothesize that it will reduce the time remaining until a mutant's expiration date by 45-60 percent."
