*The BPRD agent in the vril-powered suit has fallen, and is possibly dead within the armor. The squad of Americans who were providing him support hauls him away, only to be stopped by a Nazi patrol. Dale Glesham refuses to be taken, and his squad overpowers the Nazis, but not without one of their members, Patrick Redding, being wounded. They limp away to hole up in a barn, another Nazi patrol on their trail. As Redding struggles to hold onto his life, he is visited by the spirit of the dead man within the armor, Fields, who tells Redding it is time to move on. Redding, though, sees he has a choice: leave the armor to the Nazis, with all the future terror that entails, or to stay and fight. Redding chooses to fight, and lets his spirit inhabit the vril armor. He vanquishes the Nazis, and, later, when the BPRD come to reclaim their agent, Professor Bruttenholm and Dr. Gallaragas are shocked to find the new identity of suit's wearer. *Source: Warlock
