As such, when they wish for Bad Daughter'due south resurrection, she ends upward being resurrected in the form of a dog. Travis later on ends up locating a prototype for a Death Ball which, rather than transporting him into a video game, transports him directly into the CIA. Massacring his way through the facility he locates the Death Bulldoze mother auto which is being guarded past Dr. Juvenile, who has infiltrated the facility and taken the class of "White Sheepman". Travis, expressing respect for her talents and sympathy for her suffering, reluctantly battles and ultimately defeats her. He interacts with the mother motorcar and is transported to Mars, where he meets John Winter; the creator of the very original Death Drive and Juvenile's mentor.
