Sylvia meets [[Travis Touchdown]] at the Death Match Bar in [[Santa Destroy]] one night; she overhears his drunken rambling and offers to help him get even with his parents' killer, his half-sister [[Jeane]]. Travis agrees, and Sylvia has him assassinate the 11th ranked hitman [[Helter Skelter]] to place him in the rankings. Sylvia appears after Travis kills Rank 10, [[Death Metal]], and informs him that if he refuses to continue, he will be a target for assassins ranked below him. He agrees to continue after Sylvia teases the promise of sex once he reaches Rank 1. A short time later, Sylvia briefs Travis on Rank 9, [[Dr. Peace]]. She informs Travis about the entrance fee, and tells him to take on assassination jobs from [[K-Entertainment]]. | Sylvia meets [[Travis Touchdown]] at the Death Match Bar in [[Santa Destroy]] one night; she overhears his drunken rambling and offers to help him get even with his parents' killer, his half-sister [[Jeane]].
