Travis later ends up locating a prototype for a Death Ball which, rather than transporting him into a video game, transports him directly into the CIA. Massacring his way through the facility he locates the Expiry Drive female parent machine which is existence guarded by Dr. Juvenile, who has infiltrated the facility and taken the grade of "White Sheepman". Travis, expressing respect for her talents and sympathy for her suffering, reluctantly battles and ultimately defeats her.
