Fresh out of prison, Bolt begins to look for Soto. While hunting for him, Bolt meets Matrix who was also searching for Soto. Matrix wants Soto because of his connection to Boa Dalekk, who is responsible for the deaths of his first Cadre team. Bolt agrees to team up with Matrix under the condition that once Matrix gets the info he needs, Soto is his to do with as he pleases.
