Insidious
- Written and illustrated: Ken Penders
- Colors: Josh & Aimee Ray
A.D.A.M. greets Dr. Eggman as he enters his control room, though Eggman is less than pleasant, furious over Snively's betrayal. He finds himself frustrated that he's unable to exact revenge when A.D.A.M. proposes that he may not be entirely correct about that. A.D.A.M. reminds the doctor of the Nanite City Incident and alerts him to the fact that the Freedom Fighters took several nanite samples for study. Eggman is furious that his technology has been compromised until A.D.A.M. reveals that he is still in contact with the captured nanites, including those fused to Tommy Turtle.
The nanites transmit a live feed of Tommy's surroundings, revealing a room where Jules and Charles Hedgehog are preparing new security measures for the Freedom Fighters. They instruct Tommy to give the computer a hand print and retinal scan. A.D.A.M. takes advantage of this by triggering a growth spurt in the nanites in Tommy's hand, allowing them to infiltrate the security console.
