07 : Television Trap

Larna is walking down the street in a heavy rainstorm that has been created in the New York Section of New Arizona when the Commander of Police comes up behind her. He tells her that there is a new target to be eliminated. Colin Thompson. Colin is a different target. He kidnaps people by transporting them into television programmes. Colin has devised a way of making television broadcasts become reality and he has also developed a way of transporting someone inside the television and so making them live what is on the TV.

Larna goes to the television shop. She fights with Thompson, and kills him. She then transports herself into the television set to rescue the people that Thompson has trapped inside.
