Steve Austin discovers that his bionic eye enables him to see secret chemicals that have been placed on government documents meant to be shredded, and the trail leads him to Clark Templeton O'Flaherty, the janitor of the building and an old friend of Austin himself. The colonel follows his old friend from the latter's janitor's job to a stylish apartment in an affluent neighborhood--too stylish, and in too affluent a neighborhood, for O'Flaherty to be able to afford as a mere janitor. Confronted, O'Flaherty tells Steve that he is actually working for an ultra-secret government agency, the OGA, and that he plans to sell the documents in an effort to get to the head of a subversive organization.
