Ryker, at Cybertek Systems, needs a brain to run Deathlok. Michael Collins is unwittingly working on the project. When he is complaining to Ryker about the ethics, Harlan shoots him. Michael wakes up as Deathlok, his brain transplanted into the cybernetic warrior. He is in a South American country, fighting rebels who are fighting a corrupt government. He begins re-writing the code to control the cyborg, instead of its remote controls. Michael installs a no-killing parameter in the cyborg's computer, enraging Harlan further.
