Synopsis:
Peacemaker falls into a trap set by Dr. Tzin-Tzin's lieutenant Micah. He is surrounded by soldiers and has his cybernetic equipment jammed. Micah taunts him and decides to engage the Peacemaker in hand-to-hand combat. Peacemaker wins the fight, kills Micah, and deactivates the jamming device. He then uses his weapons to scatter the terrorist soldiers.

Before his death Micah revealed that his boss is Dr. Tzin-Tzin. Peacemaker and his associates begin contacting their sources for information regarding the mastermind's plans and location. Swervyn learns that he is planning to topple the Soviet Union.

As preparations begin for a peace conference between world super powers in Berlin, Dr. Tzin-Tzin contacts generals in both the U.S. and Soviet military. He has hypnotized the men and orders them to divert specific troop deployments in order to open a path of attack at the conference.
