He explains how Alva had used him, and his plans for revenge. But, Barraki is horrified when Curt tells her of the people he killed without any remorse. Curt now has some doubts about his methods.

After spending some time refining his plan to kill Alva, Hardware is convinced by Barraki to find a different way to get his revenge instead of more killing. So, when Hardware puts his plan in motion and fights his way to Alva's office, he becomes enraged when Alva tries to hire him as a strong-arm agent. Nevertheless, Hardware doesn't kill Alva. Instead, he reveals that he's gone through Alva's files and will use them in the coming months to dismantle Alva's organization and ruin him. Then, when Alva is broken and penniless, then Hardware will kill him.

Alva has sent an armored thug to kill Hardware, and it looks like he just might do it, too. But then, Hardware uses his own armor to infiltrate that of his opponent's.

After administering a thorough thrashing, Hardware drags his defenseless enemy back home to a distressed Alva, daring the old man to continue his defiance.
