Gen 13, Vol. 2 (1995-2002)

Fairchild hacks Lynch’s computer files in search of information on her father and uncovers a lead involving an archaeological expedition off the coast of Africa. Lynch catches her and tells her not to pursue it, but she refuses to listen. Unbeknownst to him, she takes the rest of Gen 13 to Beverly Hills to meet with Caroline McArthur whose foundation conducted the expedition. She explains to the team that the expedition involved searching for a “fountain of youth” on the unexplored Isle du Mystere and that its leader, her son Jim, has disappeared. Caitlin tells her Gen 13 will find her son if she can arrange their transportation to the island, and she agrees. The next morning, Lynch realizes what the team is doing and sets out after them. The team is approaching the island in a boat when it collides with a ship in the fog and capsizes. Fairchild swims ashore while Grunge and Rainmaker wash up further down the beach. Grunge awakens to find a group of Coda standing over him.
