Zakos uses Anu's research as a basis to improve and develop the memory extraction technology so that the Mogadorians can learn more about the Garde. He reveals to Adamus, the original subject of the experiment, that the new improved version would only work with the original test subject and that he has Number One's body perfectly reserved. In Last Defense, Agent Noto reveals to Malcolm that Zakos survived by showing him a recording of Zakos from after Adam destroyed the tunnels. Hearing the recording filled Malcolm with fear and disgust.
