dashboard. Connor jumps into the driver’s seat and puts on his seat belt.
    One of the agents in the three jeeps says, “Let’s try and get closer and take this fucker out.”
    The three jeeps accelerate faster and are getting closer to Connor. The agents are still firing their weapons at the RBM.
    Connor says, “Human accelerate.”
    Human accelerate is a command that allows a person to take control and drive the RBM manually.
    The computer says, “Human accelerate activated.”
    Connor is now driving the RBM manually. He sees that the bridge is coming to a dead end, and an Apache helicopter waiting for him.
    Connor says in a panic, “Oh shit!”
    *
    Raymond says, “Sir, I have the RBM in my sights.”
    Joel says, “Take him out.”
    Raymond replies, “Sir, if I fire I might hit the other FBI jeeps.”
    Joel says angrily, “I don’t give a fuck, open fire!”
    Raymond replies, “Yes, sir!”
    Before Raymond fires, Connor slams on the brakes. The metallic wheels of the RBM make sparks on the road, as well as scraping off some of the road’s tarmac. The three jeeps drive past Connor. Raymond opens fire and fires two rockets.
BOOM! BOOM!
The rockets create two explosions, making the three jeeps fly into the air. When the jeeps hit the ground they roll over and over before eventually falling into the ocean. As the jeeps hit the water they make a giant splash like boulders hitting the water of a swimming pool.
    Joel has created a roadblock on the Hawthorn Bridge with the eight jeeps. He got other agents to park a first group of four jeeps in a vertical line going across the bridge, and he also got more agents to park a second group of four jeeps behind the first group, in a vertical line going across the Hawthorn Bridge. Some of the agents get out of their jeeps and some remain inside, creating an attack formation.
    All agents are armed and ready to destroy anything that crosses their path.

    Connor reverses quickly, turns the RBM around and accelerates fast, driving back down the Hawthorn Bridge away from the helicopter and the dead end of the bridge. The Apache helicopter chases after Connor, firing rockets and gun shells at the same time. Connor is swerving left and right to avoid them.
    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Explosions from rockets and small booms of waste made by the bullets are chasing the RBM. Connor sees the roadblock and thinks to himself,
This is it; it’s all over
. The agents forming the roadblock open fire on Connor with 15-shooter handguns and machine gun/grenade launchers. Connor drives to the left in a diagonal position and breaks through the side barrier of the bridge with the RBM.
    As Connor breaks through the barrier, broken pieces of concrete go flying everywhere. The RBM and concrete pieces fall into the ocean. The RBM and the concrete pieces create huge splashes, as they hit the water. The agents run over to the side barrier of the bridge where Connor made his escape.
    They open fire down at the water. Their weapon rounds create little water explosions on the ocean’s surface. The RBM sinks underwater and finally reaches a solid surface. The Apache helicopter flies overhead, near to the place where Connor splashed into the water and opens fire on the water as well, shooting rockets and gun shells into the water. The rockets fired from the helicopter create giant water explosions as they go through the water, while the small metallic missiles fired create small ones.
    The rockets explode around the RBM underwater. Some of the bullets fired from the helicopter fly past. After a few minutes the helicopter stops firing and all of the agents stop as well. Connor is stuck inside the RBM, underwater. He’s thinking to himself,
Maybe I’d be better off if I let them kill me
. No water is getting inside the RBM. On the windscreen a hologram message appears saying
Activate aqua mode
. Connor looks at the message and
