The United States Police Force declares all-out war on public enemy #1, Snake Plissken! And this time, they aren’t taking any chances! Now a killer cyborg is after Snake’s skin, a terminator who knows his every move…because he’s based on Snake himself!

Story/Spoilers
In “Up And Running”, Snake has robbed Atlanta’s Centers for Disease Control of some engineered metaviruses and is looking for buyers in Chicago. Finding himself in a deal that’s really a set-up, he makes his getaway and exacts revenge on the buyer for ratting him out to the United States Police Force. In the meantime, a government lab has built a robot called ATACS (Autonomous Tracking And Combat System) that can catch criminals by imprinting their personalities upon its program in order to predict and anticipate a specific criminal’s every move. The robot’s first test subject is America’s public enemy number one, Snake Plissken. After a brief battle, the tide turns when ATACS copies Snake to the point of fully becoming his personality. Now recognizing the government as the enemy, ATACS sides with Snake. Unamused, Snake punches the machine and destroys it. As ATACS shuts down, it can only ask him, “Why?” Snake just walks off answering, “I don’t need the competition.”
