Errors
  • * The brainwave chip the B.A.T. uses to follow Scarlett is said to have been recorded while Scarlett was a Cobra prisoner during issues #140 and #141. However, those issues showed her as infiltrated in Cobra, receiving medical care. She escaped before her cover was blown, so she never was officially a prisoner. * If Scarlett is on vacation, why is she wearing her battle uniform beneath a trenchcoat and carrying an Uzi?

Synopsis
  • Dr. Knox is creating a new, deadlier type of B.A.T., but when she asks an opinion about it from a Cyber-Viper and a Tele-Viper, the Tele-Viper just makes a subtle comment about Knox's looks, which she ignores. After the Cyber-Viper announces that the B.A.T.'s brain is already functioning, Dr. Knox charges it with hunting Scarlett, whose encoded brainwaves will allow it to find her. In Salt Lake City, Scarlett is thinking about how she and Snake-Eyes need vacations, when she trips with another woman. While Scarlett tries to apologize, the woman behaves rudely to her. A Cobra agent sees them from a balcony, and informs Dr. Knox. Dr. Knox releases the B.A.T. from a Cobra transport helicopter, with orders to terminate Scarlett with extreme prejudice. The B.A.T. attacks Scarlett, but the ever-ready Scarlett takes her weapon and strikes back. The B.A.T. crushes Scarlett's weapon, but she escapes to a nearby construction site, where she manages to throw the B.A.T. to a cement mixer. The cement causes Dr. Knox to lose the B.A.T.'s monitoring signal, so the copter begins to fly lower, trying to recover the signal. Scarlett attacks the copter with a rivet gun, so the copter begins to shoot her. Scarlett escapes the copter only to find the B.A.T. still functioning. Scarlett makes some beams fall on the B.A.T., which render the B.A.T.'s brainwave tracking system inoperative and its optic sensors partially functioning. Brenda, the woman Scarlett tripped before arrives at the construction site, since she's the wife of one of the workers. The B.A.T.'s damaged optics make Brenda look identical to Scarlett, so she becomes the B.A.T.'s new target! At that same moment, Scarlett takes control of a garbage truck, which she runs against the B.A.T., saving Brenda. The B.A.T. falls into the garbage truck, so Scarlett uses this chance to activate the truck and crush the B.A.T.. The B.A.T.'s demise is confirmed by the short-circuit of Dr. Knox's control panel. Even though the furious Knox wants to kill Scarlett with her bare hands, the arrival of a squad of G.I. Joe Razor-Blade helicopters dissuade her from doing it, so she escapes. Brenda, rather than being thankful to Scarlett by saving her, behaves as rudely as before and threatens to sue Scarlett. Since the B.A.T.'s head looks still intact, Scarlett takes it to be analyzed by G.I. Joe technicians. After this experience, Scarlett feels proud of having single-handedly taken down a virtually unstoppable war toy. However, the experience also strengthens her need for vacation.
