==Biography==
After Race beats Jonny in a tag-based training session where the latter played the bad guy, Jonny receives a call from his mother Rachel Quest to tell his father that that 3-DAC received a call from Intelligence-One and is coded Geronimo.
Following the death of Rachel at the hands of Dr. Zin, 3-DAC contacts Dr. Quest about an urgent call from the White House where the POTUS asks Dr. Quest about why he quit. Dr. Quest explains he is retiring to take a professorship at Cambridge even though he was the government’s top operative and he could name it if he needed more bodyguards and better equipment.
Benton does appreciate the president’s confidence in him, but cannot subject his family to how dangerous this line of work was. The U.S. President explains he has a family himself and will always hold a place on the I-One team.
Dr. Quest still insists it is unnecessary. The president then terminates the communication.
Dr. Quest then orders 3-DAC to shut the compound down permanently. 3-DAC says that she put up with Bandit’s harassment for the past six years. Hadji pulls Bandit from the computer while Dr. Quest 3-DAC that he will be taking her with his group. She then begins the shutdown while Benton goes to check on Jonny.
After procuring a mask from Agent Mendez, it was discovered that it was too sharp to have come from any dynasty and had 3-DAC analyze it. Just then, a replicant begins to spy on them as they analyze it and it sabotages the security system to infiltrate the lab by showing a golden ring commercial.
The mask was discovered to be 100% pure gold despite being a counterfeit.
At the Downtown Tokyo Hotel following Chikara's murder, Dr. Quest asks 3-DAC about what he finds odd in the case as he asks where Jessie’s supposed father is making the gold yet she seems to know little about him and has his picture scanned. When Dr. Quest asks about metallurgical associations he might be involved with, she responds with “Negative”, Dr. Quest then proceeds to start with what they knew by asking for all word clusters beginning with the word gold. Due to Bandit’s mishap with 3-DAC, the program malfunctions, but still manages to provide some help.
Dr. Quest laments that Jonny was viewing Race as more of a father than him, Race explains that he is no match for him and must be given time. Just then, 3-DAC brings up the topic of alchemy which turns metal into gold and the historical painter Leonardo da Vinci.
Leonardo da Vinci was believed to have been dabbling in alchemy and brought up several experts on da Vinci and Devlon was one of them. He was a Ph.D from Universita De Roma. Dr. Quest also realises that Devlon was a computer expert. Just then Race remembers that I-One investigated a heist of da Vinci papers last year from Musee D’Art de Paris, but there were no leads.
On the plane to Rome, Dr. Quest laments 3-DAC behaviour as a result of Bandit biting its power pack. 3-DAC reports the six thefts of uranium-235 across the planet over the past two years. Four sets have been recovered, one set was stolen by a known terrorist group still at large, and one set was still missing. The sixth one was taken from a Roman university lab.
Dr. Quest remembers Devlon graduating from Universita di Roma and must have stolen the uranium to smelt the synthetic gold and set course for Rome.
Once at home, following the defeat of Dr. Zin, 3-DAC reenacted all house functions of the Quest home and Benton was happy to be back in business. Benton also learns Race was almost ready to leave while 3-DAC makes Bandit a peaceful offering, a dog bed.
