Years ago, cousins Heavy Duty and Roadblock kept in touch throughout deployments by playing Sigma 6 video game together. A few days after one of their games, Roadblock is told his cousin was killed in the line of duty. However, the next time he logs in to the game he sees his cousin there before he quickly disappears. He bribes a coworker into tracking the I.P. address, which leads to an abandoned base. He breaks in, is attacked by Snake Eyes, and takes him out. After being interrogated, Heavy Duty advises the Joes to make him part of the team.
