Scene shifts to Templar's team.

Templar: Alright. Our instructions are to get Hakha off Vekta as soon as. That means heading for the fortress and putting him on the next shuttle outta here.

Luger: The Fortress huh we're gonna need a boat. We'd better head for the Docks.

Rico: Great! Seasickness! It's bad enough having to look at this mutant's face all day.

Hakha: Well, those of us with even remotely developed minds rise above the frailties of the flesh, and cope with it.

Rico: It's lucky for you that you hold some vital shit in your head, you bald fuck, or I'd rip it right off and shove it up your-

Templar: Enough! Rico! Hakha! Play nice!

Rico: Over so quick?

Luger: Let's head to the docks.

Templar: Time to pay a visit to the docks.

Docks #1

ISA: Captain. I see you got yourself a Helghast prisoner.

Rico: Ha!

Rico: Well you're in charge...

The team move to the next dock.

ISA: We have to secure this area but they have got us out numbered. We could use your help.

ISA: Advance!

Cutscene #2

Hakha: The information I gathered from the Helghast, I have to process it immediately. I need access to the mainframe.

Templar: We don't have time for that. We gotta get you on one of those shuttles.

Hakha: I need to process data... here!

Rico: Hey! Didn't you hear the captain? We're deliverin' the package. The package is you!

Luger push aside Rico.

Luger: What is it you need to do Hakha?

Rico: What? You just gonna let some unknown freak hack into the mainframe? How do we know he's not a double agent, huh? What's to say he's not on the other side?!

Hakha: And how many of "the other side" do you calculate I've killed in the past hour?

Rico: Huh, you bastards don't even give a shit about your own!

Hakha press his hand on Rico's neck. Rico respond by pointing his pistol at Hakha. Luger press her knife to Rick's neck.

Rico: Try it, scum. Come on. Try it... (to Luger) Back - off - bitch!

Luger: If you fire. You know you're dead.

Templar fires his gun in the air.

Templar: THAT'S IT! ENOUGH! IT'S A LONG WAY TO THE FORTRESS, AND OUR CHANCES, EVEN IF WE PULL TOGETHER ARE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN SLIM AND NIL!

Everyone drops their stand off.

Templar: So for the last time GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER AND START ACTING LIKE SOLDIERS! So. Hakha. What is it that can't wait?

Hakha: I found out that a computer on the SD platforms has come under the control of the Helghast. It's that computer they've used to shut down the defence systems. I need to identify it to inform General Adams. But to do this I need to hack into the mainframe.

Templar: Alright. You got 3 minutes.

Scene shifts to General Vaughton on the SD Platform.

ISA: General Adams is prepared and waiting for you General.

Scene shifts back to Templar's team.

Templar: Hakha...

Hakha: Nearly there.

Luger: What? What is it?

Hakha: It can't be.

Scene shifts back to Vaughton.

Adams: General.

Vaughton shakes Adams's hand.

Vaughton: General. I suggest we get on with it.

Adams: As you wish.

Vaughton and Adams override the defence network's systems.

Scene shifts back to Hakha.

Hakha: The computer under Helghast control. It's General Adams's personal computer.

Scene shifts back to the SD platform.

Vaughton: Very good. I understand you have prepared everything for the reprogramming of the defence systems.

Adams: You've got that one hundred percent A1 correct, General.

Helghast soldiers storm into the room.

Vaughton: What's the meaning...?

Adams: The meaning? The meaning is... You lose.

Vaughton: Traitor.

Adams: Yeah, whatever. Kill him.

A Helghast soldier clubs Vaughton before shooting him. General Joseph Lente appears beside Adams.

Lente: You have done well, General. I will ensure that Scolar Visari hears of your efforts.

Adams: I'll tell him myself thank you, General Lente. That's after I take this little beauty for a spin round the block.

Scene shifts back to Templar.

Templar: Shit! General Vaughton's in real danger up there!

Luger: And if Adams's a traitor, then he'll soon be in control of the SD platform weapons.

Hakha: Which can be aimed...

Rico: Oh Jesus! Look!

Hakha: ...anywhere.

Everyone but Hakha sees in the distance as a orbital objects impacts and causes a bright explosion, which leaves a large mushroom cloud.

Docks #2

If playing Rico.

The team come across mines up ahead.

Hakha: The Helghast have mined the route ahead, let's go through these sewage pipes.

If playing Rico.

Templar: Wait up people - I don't like the look of this one bit. Rico, you scout ahead and see what's behind these pipes - we'll give you back up if you need it.

If playing Hakha.

Templar: Hakha, you can proceed past these mines. If you open the sluice gate we can go through this sewage pipe.

After passing the pipes. If playing Luger.

Hakha: Captain Templar, I took the liberty of downloading the plans of the docks. This ladder leads to a ventilation tunnel under the store rooms ahead. Perhaps our Shadow Marshall can scout ahead?

Templar: Good idea Hakha; Luger go check it out, we'll move up once you're in.

The team encounters Elite soldiers.

Hakha: These Elite soldiers are slowing us down.

Rico: Elites? More like girl scouts, come on you goggled eyed freaks!

If playing Luger.

Templar: Hey Rico! Shut up and concentrate your base of fire on these bastards.

If playing Hakha.

Templar: Hey Rico! Shut up and concentrate your fire on the elevated defenders.

If playing Rico.

Luger: These Elite soldiers are tough to kill!

Hakha: Yes, but if they are denied basic amino acids for more than 36 hours, you know they become really rather weak.

Templar: So Hakha, what would you have me do? Put them on a diet?

The team reach the attack boats.

Rico: Hey! Over there - those two Fast Attack Craft should get us out of here...

Templar: Okay securing those two boats is our objective - lets get the consent of their owners first...

Cutscene #3

The team look at the smoke cloud, which hovers over the remains of the ISA Fortress.

Rico: That's your ticket outta here up in smoke, Hakha.

Luger: So what now?

Templar: We head for the uplink - the orbital transfer station feeds the SD platform directly. It's our only choice.

Rico: You're kiddin' right? That's like 90 k through a giant shit heap of Helghast. An' I ain't ugly enough to pass for one of them.

Hakha: We have to try. The earth fleet is coming soon.

Rico: How do you know this shit??

Hakha: I'm a spy... It's my job...

Luger: But when the earth fleet arrives... Adams can just blow it out of the sky! Jan?

Templar: We head for the remains of the fortress...

Templar boards a fast boat.

Templar: It's on the way to the uplink and... it'll be a good position to get the lie of the land...

Rico sees Luger boarding the boat with Templar, leaving the other with Hakha.

Rico: How come I get to share with the rat?

The team speed their way to the fortress. A Helghast locks a missile on Hakha and Rico's boat. The team make evasive maneuvers and the missile miss them. A second missile is fired, forcing Hakha to dodge but make him to come into contact with Templar and Luger's boat.
