  Inside the chaotic CCNY auditorium where the room was filled with the sound of gunshots, shouts, and screams, Egborg stood smiling amid a hail of gunfire that ricocheted harmlessly off his ceramic and titanium armored body. A brave NYPD officer landed a flying tackle on Egborg but was easily batted aside with a deadly crushing blow. The robot then raised his right arm and pointed his forefinger at Ed. That seemed to Ed an odd gesture for Egborg to make, until the finger flashed with a bang and Ed felt a hammer-blow to his chest that hurt like hell! "I'VE BEEN SHOT!" Ed said, as he began to fall to the ground.

  Ed fell surrealistically in what seemed like super-slow motion to his adrenalin flooded brain. As he fell he noticed still smiling Egborg again take aim at him with his finger; this time directly at his watching eyes/head. Then he saw only darkness.
