Wired Part 1

Wired Part 1 is the first episode of the second season of the animated television series The Zeta Project.
The NSA are catching up to Zeta and Ro. Bucky is trying to communicate with them, when his transmission is interrupted. Ro and Zeta are rescued by three hackers, Meg, Plug, and Buss. They all seem to be fans of Zeta, and Buss has an obsessive crush on Ro. Meg and Plug convince Zeta to allow them to take him apart and see how he works, and in exchange they will help him find Dr. Selig. Ro is reluctantly taken to Buss's house. Bucky manages to message Ro, warning her that Meg and Plug want to use Zeta for parts. Ro escapes to save Zeta, and Zeta manages to repair himself while Ro drives one of the hackers' motorcycles. However, the motorcycle runs out of power. The NSA capture Zeta, but Ro is saved by Buss. She is informed that the NSA plan to erase Zeta's memory.
This is probably one of the more disturbing episodes of the series, as Buss' behavior recalls that of extreme gaming and anime fanatics known as "otakus". There have been actual cases where an otaku has kidnapped a girl and held her against her will, forcing her into a life of degrading sexual servitude.
