Virtual Helper had somehow hijacked a tank and was speeding around in search of more substantial targets. Like police stations...or hospitals.
Wow! I was hoping he gets to safe Helper in this part. Instead we have to wait for the next one. Obviously, he knows what he is doing. It is very well written this entire action the way with CPU speed, cooling with the beer... At that moment I also believe both Madeline and Lars hope he safes Helper.
