And how pleasant it would be to forget his complexes, merging into a heavily armed tank that easily obeys your mind! But it turns out this game isn’t quite safe. Once you transfer your psychomatrix into the tank’s command unit, you might not get back… Now you are a combat robot—both in body and in soul. Try living LIKE THAT.
