However the Oracle isn't the only one trying to track down the Anti-Life Clusters as it seems the Calculator is interested in them as well - mostly as a means of healing his daughter Wendy who was attacked months ago and put into a coma. It would seem as though he is collecting the bits of information and then having their mathematical specifications carved into the facets of several crystals. He also bides his time between standing at his daughter's bedside and concocting an elaborate enough ruse to get himself access to one of the nation's largest databanks. Once he gains access he does a search for the names of any others who may be tracking down the ALE. There he comes across the name of one of Oracle's online agents and, using a fake screen name, requests an e-meeting between himself and the agent in an online chat world called Alta Viva.

When the two meet up, Calculator convinces the agent to let him see her portion of the code. Once the agent complies, Calculator simply copies the data and then uses his abilities to murder the agent, sending a pulse directly into her brain causing her head to explode. Hacking into the web-cam feed, Oracle stares in horror at the image of her friend's decapitated body.
