Snake defeats Cuervo at his staging area of the Happy Kingdom by the Sea in Anaheim and takes the remote control. At various times, Snake receives assistance from Pipeline, a surfing enthusiast Taslima, a woman deported to the island for her Muslim faith and Hershe Las Palmas (formerly Carjack Malone), a transgender woman and past criminal associate of Snake. Making his way across the island, Snake meets "Map to the Stars" Eddie, a swindler who sells interactive tours of Los Angeles.

He sneaks into the city using a one-man submarine that he loses when the platform it landed on crumbles, causing the sub to sink. Snake is given an assault rifle, a personal holographic projector, a thermal-camouflage overcoat, and a countdown clock for how long he has to live. To ensure his compliance, Snake is infected with the man-made Plutoxin 7 virus that will kill him within 10 hours if he completes the mission, he will receive the cure. The president indicates he does not care if Utopia is returned or not, declaring her a traitor.

ESCAPE FROM LA MAP CODE
Cuervo also knows the secret world code that can knock out power for the entire planet. Cuervo claims that if the president tries to stop him, he will "pull the plug" on the country and black out the capital. With the satellites under his control, Cuervo promises to take back the United States with the assistance of an allied invasion force of third world nations that are standing by to attack. While traveling aboard Air Force Three, Utopia leaves the plane in an escape pod and lands on Los Angeles Island to join with Cuervo. The president intends to use the system to destroy US enemies' ability to function and eventually dominate the world. In 2013, Cuervo Jones, a Shining Path Peruvian Revolutionary, seduces the president's daughter, Utopia, via a holographic system and brainwashes her into stealing her father's remote control to the " Sword of Damocles" super weapon, a series of satellites capable of rendering all electronic devices anywhere on the planet useless. A containment wall is built around the island, armed guards and watchtowers are posted, and those sent to the island are exiled permanently. When he is elected president for life, the capital is relocated to his hometown in Lynchburg, Virginia, meanwhile, he turns the United States into a theocratic totalitarian state, and declares that anyone not conforming to the new "Moral America" laws that he creates, which ban such things as tobacco, alcoholic beverages, recreational drugs, red meat, firearms, profanity, atheism, non-Christian religions, and extramarital sex will be stripped of their citizenship and deported to Los Angeles Island unless they repent and choose death by electrocution. A theocratic presidential candidate declares Los Angeles to be sinful and punished by God. Two years later, on August 23, 2000, a massive earthquake strikes the city, the San Fernando Valley floods, and the Los Angeles area turns into an island from Malibu to Anaheim. In 1998, Los Angeles has become immensely crime-ridden and decadent, ultimately being directly governed and patrolled by the recently created United States Police Force.
