One summer, the Chief built an advanced virtual reality machine designed to trap the Brain in a simulated classroom lecture forever for the rest of his life. Chief envisioned it to be a college psychology lecture about emotions. While it was the most advanced virtual reality machine built and a bit on the unethical side, the Chief made it fatally dangerous just so he could be on the extreme side. Once inside, the person subjected to the machine was trapped forever and if they died in the simulation, they died in real life. Beast Boy suggested escape was possible if a person flipped their brain upside down until the simulation couldn't talk to it anymore. Chief rejected that an account of it sounding dumb. Unable to stop Beast Boy from returning to Jump City, they used the VR Machine on him. Despite the jinky graphics, the Titans sounding like the Doom Patrol and a second Beast Boy, Beast Boy fell for the simulation. Although the Titans were programmed to be jerks, they were nicer than usual to Beast Boy.
Chief adjusted the Titans' jerk programming from "Jerk" to "Jerk to the Max." It backfired and the Titans decided to kill Beast Boy. To make matters worse, Chief couldn't undo it because the controls went one way so it could be extreme. The Doom Patrol went into the simulation to rescue him. The Titans concluded they were interfering with their primary objective and had to be eliminated, too. They proved to be too tough in a fight. The Patrol took cover behind the couch were Chief revealed he programmed them to fight like maniacs to make the simulation more extreme. The Patrol confessed their plan to Beast Boy but he was touched they loved him so much they trapped his brain in a computer. The Titans opened fire and pinned them behind the couch. Beast Boy reminded them of his brain flip theory. Chief was still skeptical. Beast Boy instructed everyone to close their eyes and imagine that their brain was a big, flat pancake on a grill then flip it once it was nice and golden brown. He counted to three and told them to flip. It worked and they escaped the simulation.
