Cutscene

Lucas walks into Sinclair's office.

Sinclair: They're not seeing what I'm seeing. The intel speaks for itself.

Minister: They don't agree.

Sinclair: Well, minister, we're gonna have to convince them. [Notice Lucas] I have to go. Excuse me. Welcome home, Lucas.

Sinclair and Lucas clasp their hands.

Lucas: Thank you, sir. It's good to be back.

Sinclair: The men might appreciate what you did, but it wasn't smart. You're too important to this operation. Goddammit, you're too important to me.

Lucas: I had to, sir. Getting captured was the only way those were getting out alive.

Sinclair: Luckily, we had someone to trade.

Lucas: Who was she?

Sinclair: Codename's Echo. Chancellor Visari took a keen interest in getting her back. Besides the fact she's a half-breed, we've got nothing on her. Let me show you something.

Sinclair pulls up a N-Work One news clip showing "Chancellor Visari responds to Vektan Sanctions".

Sinclair: I take it you've seen this? Negotiations broke down days ago, the government's running with it, playing out options. I can tell you they won't find any...

Lucas: Since when did we start relying on politicians?

Sinclair: That's my boy. Look, I know I'm asking a lot after what you've been through, but I need your help. We're on the brink, Lucas. One wrong move and this all blows up in our face.

Lucas: Whatever I can do, sir.

Sinclair shuts down the screen and present a holographic map of Visari Park.

Sinclair: It was a recon mission across the Wall. Infiltrating military communications. Troop movement, logistics. We need hard evidence. Then we can strike.

Lucas: What happened?

Sinclair: We don't know. That was two hours ago. We've heard nothing since. I need you back in there. Contact me when you've located the crew and retrieve the intel. The Helghast know we're there, so at this point, it's damage limitation. We can't leave any traces. I'm trusting you to clean this up. Do what you do best.

Sinclair (radio): Good job 1-8, locate and secure your OWL and weapons package.

Lucas: Copy that.

Lucas comes across a security camera.

Lucas: Pulsar, I've spotted a security camera.

Lucas: Pulsar, 1-8, I'm at the crash site.

VSA Engineer: Good to see you, Sir.

Lucas: What's your status?

Lucas: You have the intel?

VSA Engineer pulls out the intel.

VSA Engineer: Here. Whatever we're doing to get out here, we need to do it fast.

VSA Trooper #1: There's a dropship in the bunker. We can use that.

VSA Trooper #2: Those AA guns on top of that dam will cut us to pieces.

Lucas: Alright, hang on guys. Pulsar, Shadow 1-8, intel and team are secure. The enemy has firepower compromising our exit. Proceeding to neutralize. Over.

Sinclair (radio): Copy 1-8, just make sure this works.

Lucas: Roger sir.

Sinclair (radio): Pulsar out.

Lucas: I'm going to set the charges. Hold your position and stay on the comms. I'll come back for you.
