Eager to redeem himself in the field Jay volunteers to guard a visiting Dignitary. Unfortunately, the assignment ends up in more humiliation for Jay; the Dignitary is just not comfortable being guarded by an agent who scored a mere 67. Jay sneaks back into the VBE late at night, but what he doesn't know is that, at Zed's request, Zeeltor has retooled the VBE. It now contains more dangerous nemeses and opponents. Worse, due to a glitch in the circuitry, they're now firing real ammo! Jay's stuck in a real life or death battlefield with no way out. Though neither Kay nor anyone else can physically enter the VBE to help Jay, Zeeltor is able to cybernetically inject himself into the "game". Inside the VBE, Zeeltor provides a skeptical Jay with tips and strategy. Zeeltor ultimately helps Jay emerge victorious, but his selfless act results in Zeeltor getting "vaporized." Jay laments Zeeltor's loss, not realizing till he exits the VBE that it was only a "virtual" Zeeltor. The real doc was never actually inside the game.See less
