The three flee to Technically Legal and fight their way into the rooftop. During battle, Oleg hops into a F-69 VTOL in an attempt to bring it down.[8]

The first time[9] Playa kicks the table, then Oleg drops a bag on the game[10] and finally a VTOL crashes into the penthouse. Along with Playa and Pierce, he joined forces to fight the streets against the Luchadores and members of the STAG, in the last area conquered Pierce felt death near and Oleg declared that he would open his heart to Kinzie since he found an "equal intellectual".[11]

Later, as they share a drink at the Broken Shillelagh,[13] Kinzie attempts to call Oleg to mount a counterattack against the Zin, but he dismisses her call as a telemarketer because he does not recognize the number. He and Josh are both killed when Zinyak blows up the Earth.[14]
