Summary (from http://milestone.luthor.com/comics_detail.asp?ID=163&):

Hardware faces off against Hardware 3.0. Alva is actually controlling it remotely and the whole situation is to prove a point. Apparently Alva has given up his evil ways. We see the V.I.P. party for the Utopia opening. A riot breaks out and Edwin Alva dies in an effort to save people.
