Cutscene: Troubling Signs
An image of Rachel Parker boarding a VTOL outside the Grimsby conversion center is shown.
Parker (narrating): I was able to make it to the surface and summon a rescue. Flying into the Chimeran territory was always dangerous, but we had to risk it.
An image of Hale boarding the VTOL is shown
Parker (narrating): Hale made it out shortly after. I looked for any further signs of conversion. Fever..nervous movement... paranoia. There was nothing. Just the gold-colored eyes.
A map showing the VTOL's passage from Grimsby to Manchester.
Parker (narrating): We flew directly to Manchester. Soldiers had been trying to recover the convoy ever since my squad was ambushed. They knew what was in it. They knew it was our last hope for defeating the Chimera.
An image of Hale disembarking from the VTOL into the battle is shown.
Parker (narrating): I wanted to take Hale back to Northern Command for debriefing. Maybe he could sense I was suspicious of him. He joined the Manchester squad before I could say a word.

Cutscene: Ambush in the Cathedral
Map of Manchester.
Parker (narrating): The convoy was stranded on the west side of Manchester. The site was guarded by Stalkers, so the only route in was on foot.
Image of the Cathedral
Parker (narrating): A radio message from Hale's squad said they were entering Manchester Cathedral.
Interior image of the Cathedral.
Parker (narrating): The Cathedral was a field hospital during the war. It was abandoned in a hurry and still had some supplies and ammunition. Unfortunately, it was also a breeding ground for some of the lower forms of Chimera.
The image turns to real-life as Hale and his squad enters the Cathedral. A Leaper darts pass in front of the viewers, alerting Hale. A distinct Leaper scream is heard as Hale cautiously looks up.

British Soldier 39: I've got one!

(If one of the soldiers survives and reaches the minefield: Go on ahead Sarge, I've got you covered.)
(More than one soldier survives: Go on ahead Sarge, we'll catch up.)

British Soldier 43: Come on!
British Soldier 44: There's too bloddy many of them!
British Soldier 45: They just keep coming!
British Soldier 46: Here they come!
Mitchell [Radio]: Mitchell to Command, Chimera beat us to the convoy. They're firmly entrenched. We could do with some help from on high.
Parker [Radio]: Negative on that request, Captain. We can't bring air cover with a Stalker in the area. You'll have to flush it out.
Mitchell [Radio]: Affirmative, Command. We'll make this place bloody sterile. Mitchell out.

Map of Manchester with a red circle drawn around the convoy site.
Parker (narrating): Captain Mitchell's squad had located the convoy. Unfortunately, Stalker sightings in the area made immediate recovery impossible.
[Image of a Stalker]
Parker (narrating): The Stalker is one of the Chimera's most feared weapons. They move quickly and fire anti-aircraft missiles with deadly accuracy. The technology used in the Stalker remains one of the most intriguing and frustrating mysteries of the Chimera.
Image then shows some British soldiers defending the convoy.
Parker (narrating): Mitchell had been fighting a losing battle most of the morning, holding out until reinforcements arrived. Meanwhile the Chimera kept coming. To everyone on the ground it seemed the convoy was all but lost.
