Synopsis

After Nathan Hale and Rachel Parker escaped the Grimsby conversion center, they flew directly to Manchester where British forces are trying to retrieve the 'secret weapon' that was lost the day before. Parker, suspicious of Hale's infection to the Chimeran virus, intended on taking him to Northern Command for debriefing. However, Nathan decided to join the British forces in Manchester. Hale enters a series of major firefights and skirmishes, while pushing deeper into Manchester in search of the convoy. His squad is ambushed in Manchester Cathedral, where they encounter a massive Leaper breeding ground. Hale survives and continues onwards.

Eventually Hale meets Captain Mitchells and his squad at a roundabout in the middle of Manchester where they are trying to retake the convoy containing the 'weapon' but can't do it without air-support. Captain Parker cannot provide air-support to Mitchells, stating that there is a Stalker in the area, which pose a threat to their VTOLs. Mitchells, his squad, and Hale then proceeded to eradicating the Hybrids guarding the area and other enemy reinforcements from Chimeran Dropships. After defeating the reinforcements, the Stalker finally appeared. After discovering its weakness to be its power core, Hale and the soldiers manages to destroy it. As air-support arrive on the scene, Hale approaches the containment cell containing the 'weapon' and suddenly receive a jolt of pain in his head. The 'weapon' is reveal to be a Angel, an advanced Chimera, trying to telepathically control him.

Parker and her recovery team picks up Hale, Mitchells, and his squad and takes them to Nottingham to try and close the Chimeran Tunnel Nexus. Parker saw Hale making contact with the containment cell and knew that he must never be near it given to his Chimeran infection.
