Cutscene

Sinclair and Lucas are in a ship over Helghan's orbit.

Sinclair: Stand down? Are you out of your goddamn mind?! Watch it, Lucas. Trust is easily lost in this game. And you don't get it back.

Lucas: She helped me escape. I'd be dead otherwise.

Sinclair: You're going to side with her over me? She told you she's going to kill Massar, the one thing we need! Look, the Black Hand, Visari, Stahl - there's no difference. Their agenda is the same, to wipe us out. It's always been that way. You know that more than anyone. For Christ's sake, your father paid with his life. Are you going to let his death mean nothing?

Lucas: They are innocent people.

Sinclair: No! They're not innocent, Kellan. They're complicit, they all are. We have been given a chance. We secure the weapon and Massar. This thing targeted Helghast once, she can do it again. Visari won't be able to threaten us. Ever. We can finally take our home back. The Black Hand intel you retrieved details this mining spire in orbit around the planet. I need you to infiltrate. Find the weapon and Massar. Do not let the half-breed get in your way. Show me I can still trust you, Lucas.

Gameplay

July 7th 2390 - 8:39am

Helghan Orbit - Mining Facility 746B

Sinclair (radio): Shadow 1-8, we're picking up phase array emissions. Plot your course through the asteroid field. It will disrupt their perimeter sensors and hide your signature. There's a maintenance hatch just ahead. You'll be able to gain entry next to it.

Lucas: That must have been some blast.

Archangel (radio): Breach device in place. Archangel clear for departure. Good luck, Marshal.

Sinclair (radio): You should be coming up on a service shaft, 1-8. Fastest way to the lower labs will be that route. How copy 1-8?

Lucas: I copy you loud and clear.

Sinclair (radio): Confirm you are taking it to the lower labs?

Lucas: I know what I'm doing.

Sinclair (radio): Check fire Kellan! You update me when you've located Massar. Pulsar out.

Lucas reaches the maintenance section.

Lucas: Pulsar, 1-8. I've reached the maintenance section. Going on phase two.

Sinclair (radio): Extraction team on route, stand by. Trojan 5-5, you are mission launch.

Trojan 5-5 (radio): Acknowledged. 5-5 moving now, over.

Massar (loudspeaker): I require two more test subjects in the lower labs immediately.

Massar (loudspeaker): Where are those test subjects? I don't appreciate being ignored. I'll keep speaking until someone answers me.

Lucas enters the labs and confronts Massar.

Massar: I was told I wouldn't be disturbed. I have important work. I can't concentrate if I'm interrupted.

Lucas: Pulsar, 1-8. I've found Massar.

Sinclair (radio): Copy that, 1-8. Secure the target. Any sign of the weapon?

Massar: Don't mistake this for failure. You're too late. It's waiting for you down there, with him. It far exceeds what was glimpsed on the Cassandra. I am attempting to refine its yield. I look forward to seeing it tested on such a large scale. Until now I've only had my simulations to go by. And my imagination. I can tell you are shocked, but you are not looking with open eyes. In the smallest parts it is so elegant, so beautiful. They have had to adapt, survive; they have endured. We are only preventing them from moving on, they cannot fulfil their true potential while we exist. You're all going to die.

Lucas: Sir, the weapon is operational. It's been taken to the surface.

Sinclair (radio): Good, I've got an ISA deployment force on standby, you can go in with them. Proceed to the second spire with Massar. There's an extraction team waiting. Pulsar out.

Lucas: We're leaving, now.

Massar: They've come back.

Lucas: She's boarded the transport, on route to spire two.

Sinclair (radio): Kellan, get out there and protect the transport!

Lucas: Setting a charge is my only way out.

Massar (radio): You destroyed my laboratory. Do you have any idea what you've down!? They're not going to let me leave.

Lucas: I'll take care of the threats. Just keep that thing moving.

Massar (radio): If I die, everything will be lost.

Massar (radio): There's a container coming right at me!

Massar (radio): They've redirected another container onto this line!

Massar (radio): They're getting too close!

Massar (radio): There's another container heading this way!

Massar (radio): There's a container blocking my path! Destroy it!

Massar (radio): They won't give up!

Massar (radio): Look out!

Massar (radio): My train won't make it, there's a container in the way! There's more coming!

Massar (radio): Incoming container! Quickly Marhsal, there's another one on the line!

Massar (radio): We're almost there!

Massar (radio): That's it!

Massar (radio): There should be manual controls -- it will let you cycle the airlock.

Trojan 5-5 (radio): Trojan 5-5 is in position.

Lucas: Roger. We're nearly there.

Massar: I know it's a bit premature, but do you think you could find out when I'll have access to a laboratory and equipment?

Lucas: Move!

Massar: Only, it's important that I know, then at least I can make preparations. Worse comes to worst I can make basic calculations in my head, devise strategies, start probing new areas of interest.

Lucas: You're going to help us stop this!

Massar: No! No, you're wrong! You've not changed... you're just the same, a race of cowards!

Lucas: They must be above that launching tube. Move!

Massar: What do you think I'm going to do? Give you a cure? Ha! Think again, Marshal. I will not help you stop this. Not for anything. You don't understand, without my work... I have nothing. I might as well be dead.

Lucas meets the extraction team.

VSA Trooper: Hold it! Stand down! It's the Shadow Marshal. Evans, shut her up! Sir, our ship took some heat on the way in. She's out of action. We're working on one of the Helghast bombers so we can get out of here.

Lucas: You're going to need cover if they attack again.

VSA Trooper: Yes, sir. We're men down. The rest of our squad is setting up a defensive position. Evans, keep working on that bomber. Let's go.

VSA Trooper: There's a weapons rack over there, grab what's left. Helghast just probed our line -- we were able to block off most of the exits -- except the ones to our front... they'll be back in force any second.

VSA Trooper: Here they come. Pick your targets!

VSA Trooper: Incoming dropship! They got heavily armored drones in support!

Lucas: Engage the dropship. I'll cover with the bomber's cannon and take care of the drones.

After the battle turns in the VSA's favor.

VSA Trooper: They're falling back! Keep pressure on them!

VSA Trooper: Main engine coil's damaged! She's not responding to controls!

Lucas: Bail out! Regroup outside!

Echo comes up right behind the VSA Trooper and Massar.

Lucas: Woah woah woah, stand down sergeant.

VSA Trooper: We have our orders, sir.

Echo: What are you doing? You can not give her back to Sinclair.

Everyone enters an armed standoff.

Massar: [Laughs] You're deceiving yourself.

Sinclair (radio): What's happening?

Lucas: Pulsar, she's here.

Massar: Can you not feel it? Their sickness.

Lucas: STAND DOWN, SERGEANT!

Sinclair (radio): Kellan take her out right now! RIGHT NOW, Kellan goddammit - TAKE HER OUT!

Lucas: Sergeant stop! STOP!

Echo shoots the sergeant and Massar.

Echo: I told you. She cannot live.

Echo checks on Massar.

Sinclair (radio): What's happening? What's going on?

Lucas: Massar's dead. She got me out, sir. I have to trust her.

Sinclair (radio): I thought you were smarter than this Kellan. I warned you. I will not let you screw this up. This is our home goddammit.

Lucas: I know what I'm doing.

Sinclair (radio): You run with her, I can no longer guarantee your safety.

Echo: Do you know what you're doing?

Lucas: Sinclair has made his choice. Now I have to make mine. We have to find this weapon and destroy it. Otherwise it's over, for all of us.

Echo: A dropship is entering Helghan's atmosphere. We can use these and go in undetected. It may lead us to the weapon. Come on.
