Viceroy Caratore has abolished the DNA Scanning Agency, the huge organisation set up to scan for the DNA of Mutre Bee clones. The DSA was compromised by the MBO earlier this year, a key factor in their victory over New Sparta. Caratore said the MBO would not deploy clones in NS (apart from the MBO Honour Guard) in "normal circumstances". An analyst said Caratore was keeping the threat of clones infiltrating NS if there was unrest or disobedience.
The former head of the DSA, Mad Medic, is another senior NS officer who has gone missing and is now on the wanted list.
