During the events of Def-Con 4 (1985) played by Lenore Zann
A Terminal sets off a booby trap and Vinny goes off to investigate after tying Howe’s other arm to the chair. After Vinny leaves, J.J., comes out of the basement and starts to eat some of the food in the house. Howe asks J.J. to untie him and makes a deal with her, if she unties him, they’ll split Howe’s food and sail away together in a sail boat that J.J. knows is nearby. J.J. unties Howe and they both grab weapons and ammo, but Vinny returns and orders them to drop the weapons.
Vinny kisses J.J. then orders her back into the basement. Howe and Vinny come to a deal, Howe, gets a quarter of the food and a knife while Vinny gets the rest of the food and Jordan. Howe and J.J. are placed into the bucket of Vinny’s armor plated front end loader. Two Terminals attack Howe and J.J., but are eventually killed including one being run over. They arrive at the beach and J.J. is sent by Vinny to look for the satellite. Lacey along with other Troopers walks up and they take Howe prisoner, after already capturing J.J. Vinny tries to escape, but is eventually captured when he is tricked out of the loader by Lacey who throws a dummy grenade into the cab of the vehicle. Howe, J.J. and Vinny are tied up and marched to Gideon’s camp while also passing a group of people being forced to drag the Nemesis satellite into Gideon’s camp by Vicious Trooper. J.J. and Vinny are brought before Gideon and Gideon sends them to the prison boxes.
Howe is placed in the prison pit next to Jordan and they talk, before J.J. introduces them to Mrs. Boyd and tells him the background of Gideon. The day after the war, Gideon, with his father and mother were evacuated by helicopter along with J.J., Boomer and Lacey and with satellite equipment. During the flight to take them to a secure submarine off of Newfoundland, the helicopter crashed; killing Gideon’s father, mother and breaking Boomer’s back. She says it was Boomer who made the Nemesis satellite come back to Earth. Gideon tells J.J. his plan to sail with himself, J.J. and Lacey to a survival station still intact. J.J. refuses his offer, and then she is ordered by Gideon to be taken away by a Squad Leader. Gideon orders a trial to be held in the morning to determine the guilt or innocence of Howe, Jordan, J.J. and Vinny. The four of them are brought into a hangar and both Howe and Jordan are accused of crimes against humanity and both are found guilty. J.J. is accused of treason and she is also found guilty. Vinny is accused of numerous yet nameless crimes and he too is found guilty. All of the accused are sentenced to be hung from their necks until they are dead.
First Hangman and Second Hangman show nooses to the screaming crowd. The four sentenced are brought before the gallows and nooses are tied around their necks by First and Second Hangman. Gideon offers J.J. a pardon on the condition that she has to pull the hangman’s lever, to which she refuses. Gideon then makes the same offer to the others and Howe steps forward. He is told to pull the lever once the drum beat ends or he will be shot. Right before Howe is forced to pull the lever, Boomer shoots Gideon in the leg. Boomer is shot dead, but Howe is able to escape. J.J. screams at the prison guards that she wants to see Gideon, but they ignore her.
She is brought before Gideon and is able to convince him to bring her along with him on the sailboat. Howe and Vinny swim out to the boat and Howe calls to J.J. J.J. throws a rope out to Howe and he starts to climb the rope onto the boat. Gideon comes up from below decks and J.J. keeps him occupied by kissing him, before he spots Howe and tells Lacey to get him, but J.J. pushes Lacey off of the boat. Gideon grabs J.J. and orders Howe to jump off the boat or he will slash J.J.’s throat. Howe jumps back into the ocean, and then J.J. and Gideon struggle, before she knocks Gideon off the boat. Howe, J.J. and Vinny then sail on to the safe zone location.
