Sol inserts his new AI chip into the mainframe and begins to play the game. As he advances to the games third level, the motion capture suit connected to the computer network comes alive. Simultaneously, the suit attacks Sol in real life while an ingame monster drags Sols video game character away. The following morning, Bug and Hardcore discover that Sol has been killed and the backup CD has been stolen. Hardcore attempts to review the security camera tapes with his PDA, but accidentally touches the motion capture suit, which has merged itself with Sols dead body. The suit attacks Hardcore although he initially manages to fight it off, he is later killed. The suit then merges itself with Hardcores muscular body and takes all of his weapons, giving it a striking resemblance to the monster in the game. Bug theorizes that the lighting strike combined with Sols powerful AI chip has caused the suit to believe the real world is part of the video game. Bug, Laura and Drummond decide to pull the computers plug, although doing so will likely erase all of the games data.While Bug tries to figure out which set of wires to pull, Drummond is attacked by the monster in Hardcores body. With Bugs help, Drummond manages to escape, but the security system malfunctions, seals all exits, and leaves Laura, Bug, and Drummond in near darkness. Bug travels through ceiling shafts and falls into the kitchen area, where he is attacked by the monster. As the monster draws closer, Bug exposes a gas line and lights his lighter, killing both himself and the monster. The monster returns to the motioncapture suit and attacks Drummond, but Laura saves him by virtually fighting the ingame monster. Laura later tries to beat the game but becomes frustrated and hysterical. Drummond suggests that she try a virtual reality headset, promising to stay with her while she fights. However, in the midst of the game, Laura realizes Drummond has left her. The monster appears and, in the real world, Laura escape
