Two!

Clear!

Clear!

Clear!

Clear!

Everybody okay?

Alright, let's keep moving.

Frost, watch our six!

Understood!

I'll open the door.

Blitz, stay alert. Tachanka, use the drone and check out the hallway and the storage room's status.

I am on it.

Sure.

How is it looking up ahead?

The storage room was filled with ammo and supplies. They had been stationed here for some time.

There are no hostiles in the storage room. Just black crystals on some petri dishes.

Is it a threat?

Hard to say.

What's this stuff inside the cans?

Glowing mineral crystals. Never seen them before.

Minerals. Composites. As long as they are glowing, they might be radioactive.

Don't worry. Geiger's not reacting to anything.

Then let's leave them be and go straight in.

Time's a wasting, team. Let's move.

Ash, this is Iana.

We have just taken care of the enemy, but they have blocked the corridor passage with a lot of obstacles.

We have to take a different route to the core, over.

We're about to head inside the main laboratory. I need you to come back us up ASAP, over.

Copy, Iana out.

What now? Shall we wait for them?

No, time is pressing. Keep going.

Up ahead is the main laboratory.

Get ready, we're going in.

Stay alert. Subdue the target when you have them in sight.

Look alive.

Go!

There's no one here, just these strange machines.

Don't let your guard down. The lab equipment's running, which means the target is still here.

Then we need to head inside the real laboratory.

This here is the control room. You see the machines on the other side of that window? That's where the actual experiments happen.

Stay alert... We don't know how many hostiles we have here.

I see unwelcome friends will always invite themselves in.

(Target in sight. Hold your fire. )

(Give me a sitrep. )

(Looks like we're the only ones here.)

(No other hostiles detected.)

Put your hands up, Dr. Levi. Move away from the terminal.

And here I was wondering how much longer it would take you to show up.

Did you take out my security detail? What a shame.

I cut them their last paycheck just yesterday.

Well, I ask you to be careful with the things here. They can be delicate.

Don't even try to do anything funny. This charade is over.

Over? My new experiment has just started.

Stop what you're doing... This is your last warning.

Hahahahaha, and what if I refuse?

What's the matter? Are you afraid of a senile, defenseless ordinary citizen?

You're hardly defenseless or ordinary.

You are the chief scientist of the Magnethill No. 2 laboratory, Levi Klitschko.

Stay away from the equipment. I know exactly what you're trying to do.

Blitz, cuff him.

Understood.

I've got to hand it to you. Your team works fast.

But not fast enough.

The reactor's activated! !

The black rocks are glowing!

Get it to stop.

I'm sorry, I'm afraid not.

Get it stopped! Right now!

Hahaha...

Hahahaha... Hahahahaha!

There's nothing you can do to stop it, but do feel free to fire your weapons.

This is my life's work.

If it wasn't for those shortsighted, useless morons getting in my way again and again...

I would've finished all of this twenty years ago.

You have no idea what you are doing.

The equipment in this lab is in disrepair, and you are creating a nuclear contamination disaster!

Of course I know what I am doing.

The road of exploratory science is a treacherous one.

Yet it's a road worth taking. Roads that lead to the truth are always worth taking.

All I am doing now is getting the results I should've had twenty years ago, and no one has the right to stop me.

Darn mercenaries...

You doing okay?

Uh, just complaining a little bit about the close miss just now.

We could've regrouped with the rest of the team at the main lab!

It's not too late.

The checkpoint's right ahead.

What's that sound?

An earthquake?

No, it's coming from the lab!

Get your Replicator ready. They might be in trouble.

Wh-What the hell's this? ! Where's everyone?

Wh-What happened?

No, where's the lab?

Where's the map? What's with this huge hole?

There's no problem with the map. The main lab should be behind this door.

The lab's... gone?

...up... Wake... up.

Cohen, you okay?

Cohen?

Let me do it.
