Jake and Jenny fight for their lives against a M.A.X. unit. Horrified that her father's life's work is being used to take lives, Jenny sets out to set things right.
Synopsis
After recovering from their initial shock, Jenny Swensen and Jake Travest managed to rally their senses, and defeated the second M.A.X. suit thrown against them in the Afghanistani wilds. Tripping the thing up with a rope, the two watched it plummet down a hill and explode quite violently (much to Jake's satisfaction, of course).
Weeks later, the duo had totally settled in with the Mujahedin rebels, having realized that they had to stop the proliferation of M.A.X. technology in the area, as the Soviets were using it to totally wipe out their opponents here. Their first breakthrough in this mission came about thanks to Jake Travest, who had managed to liberate one of the suits from it's former owner.
While he couldn't remember what had occurred, Edmund Roth had witnessed the whole thing, having been monitoring the situation with Miss Pollicino, another techie under his thumb. Apparently, Jake had switched into one of his other personalities (he had at least two) and broke up a Soviet M.A.X. pilot once he tricked him into getting out of the suit.
After recovering the soldier and the suit, Jenny and Jake managed to discover where the Soviets were launching their experimental M.A.X. suits from, and came up with a plan. Jenny built a sonic disruptor in the suit, which she would use to stop the other Soviet armors in their tracks, and posing as the missing soldier, they would slip the armor into the Soviet base where it would do the most damage.
The plan worked admirably, but the rebels had one-upped Jennifer; they also slipped a bomb into the armor, and once it was within the heart of the Soviet facility, the M.A.X. suit detonated with enough force to flatten the secret compound. Jenny didn't like this, as she didn't want to kill anybody, but she didn't argue the point, as the problem was finally solved, after all.
Upon their return to America, Jenny and Jake were met by Edmund Roth once again, and though both of them hated the man, they nonetheless hooked up with him in order to join Project: Spitfire, a special C.I.A. mission to control the proliferation of M.A.X. technology, as Krotze's profiteering and the Club's arms sales had spread the weaponry worldwide.
