[Cutscene: A Disturbing Vision]

Hale and some British soldiers regroup and set up a perimeter around the convoy.

Mitchell: Mitchell to Command. Site's secured: all Stalkers down. You've got your convoy. How about getting us a sodding medic?

Parker [Radio]: Parker here. We're in-bound, Captain. Four minutes out.

Hale approaches the convoy container and touches the outside hull. An image of an Angel shrieks in his mind, causing him to feel intense pain and collapse to the ground. Hale recovers and sees Parker arriving in a VTOL.

Parker (narrating): I picked up Hale after the mission. I had seen him approach the containment cell on the convoy.

Schematic of the containment cell.

Parker (narrating): The cell had fourteen inch lead walls, but even so... given Hale's condition, I didn't want him anywhere near it.

Parker (narrating): With the Stalkers gone, we were able to airlift the cell back to northern command. The exchange with the Americans would have to wait.

Parker (narrating): We were about to execute a very risky offensive operation. The Chimera had been using a network of underground tunnels to attack undetected.

Image of British soldiers in the tunnels.

Parker (narrating): The tunnels formed a nexus in Nottingham, and if we sealed them off we would at least briefly have the upper hand.

British Soldier 1: Move out! For King and country!

British Soldier 1 runs out of the tunnel and gets mowed down by Chimeran Sentry Guns.

Gameplay

After clearing out the first Chimeran defence line of Hybrids and Sentry Guns.

British Soldier 2​: We're getting blown to hell! Use the trenches!

When entering the trenches.

Childress [Radio]: Fassbender, give me a base of fire on that nest! Sergeant Hale, clear out those meat grinders! Doring, cover his back!

After clearing out the first gun nest.

Childress [Radio]: Sergeant Hale, we're keeping the mortars busy. Advanced on the next nest. I'll keep them off you!

Upon approaching up the hill.

Parker [Radio]: Lieutenant Childress, status on the mortar battery? (silence) Lieutenant Childress! Sergeant Hale, I can't raise Lieutenant Childress. You must destroy those mortars or this raid will be forfeit.

Upon nearing the mortar battery.

Stephen Cartwright [Radio]: Command, status on those reinforcements?

Parker [Radio]: Lieutenant Cartwright, reinforcements are en route. Hold your position.

Cartwright [Radio]: All day and into the night, Captain.

After Hale have cleared out the Chimera manning the mortar battery.

Parker [Radio]: Sergeant Hale, the Chimera were counting on mortar cover to thin our ranks. Thanks to you, they're going to be rudely disappointed.

Cutscene: The Path to Battle

Map of Nottingham. Positions of tunnel nexus and arrows showing troop movement.

Parker (narrating): I was directing the battle from the air when I saw Cartwright's squad had run into heavy resistance. I needed to get them help right away.

An image of the mortar building.

Parker (narrating): A group of soldiers had just stormed a Chimeran mortar position. Hale was the only one to make it out.

An image of a train tunnel.

Parker (narrating): I radioed him to look for a shortcut through an old train tunnel. The tunnel was mostly blocked by a Chimeran power conduit.

An image of Hale entering the old train tunnel blocked by a power conduit.

Parker (narrating): But I knew that if Hale could find a way through, it would turn the tide of the battle.

"Conduits"
Nottingham, 17:15 GMT

Hale enters into a train tunnel.

Parker [Radio]: Hale, join K Troop ahead of your position. We must reach the tunnel nexus.

Gameplay

Upon reaching a locked iron bar gate. K Troop firing at a Titan.

Brierley [Radio]: Elliot, progress? Do you have the Yank? Elliot... damn it.

All of K Troop are killed by the Titan. The Titan notice Hale, roars, and breaks through the gate and engages Hale. After killing the Titan, Hale enters a sniper's nest and then approaching the crevice.

British Soldier 4: Stenner, here comes the welcome party!

Stenner: Yes, sir! We'll give them what for!

When Hale about to crossing the bridge.

British Soldier 5: Get over the bridge!

British Soldier 6: Push them back!

After crossing the bridge.

British Soldier 7: Luck devil! He made it!

British Soldier 8: Follow him over!

While Hale and some of the British soldiers disposing the Hybrids, Steelheads and a swarms of Leapers outside and inside the building's entrance.

Brierley: Lieutenant Cartwright. Sergeant Brierley bringing K Troop to your position. Hold on!

Cartwright: No rush, Sergeant. There will be a few of us here left to greet you.

​[Cutscene]

Hale and Brierley approaches Lieutenant Cartwright, who is staring through a tunnel.

Brierley: Lieutenant Cartwright, sir.

Cartwright: If you've come looking for a fight, you've found the place. It seems the Chimera are up to something more than just digging tunnels. [noticing Hale] Say, look here! Who brought the Yank?

Scene freezes over Hale's face.

Parker (narrating): By that time, word had already spread about what Hale did in Manchester. However, Carwright wasn't the type to be easily impressed. Especially by an American.

Scene changes to the centerfold of the tunnel nexus.

Parker (narrating): Cartwright's team had found something suspicious. Instead of just making tunnels, the Chimera were digging something out of the ground.

Scene changes to shows Cartwright leading soldiers to the nexus with Hale looking on.

Parker (narrating): At the time we passed it off as just another Chimeran mystery. Our priority was to seal off the tunnels.

[Fade to black]

"Viper's Nest"
Nottingham, 18:03 GMT

Hale enters the tunnel nexus as British forces are seen fighting the Titan.

Parker [Radio]: Lieutenant Cartwright, Operation Shear has tied up the bulk of the Chimeran defense in Nottingham.

Cartwright [Radio]: Affirmative Command. Keep them off us and we'll wrap this up in a jiffy.

Gameplay

Cartwright [Radio]: Hastings, your squad. Take corn-fed here. The hybrids are threatening to break out at the base of this first pylon.

Hastings [Radio]: On it, guv. Come on, Sergeant!

If inflicting severe damage to the Titan, five Hybrids come out of bottom of the pylon to join the fight. Hale and the British solders kills them ad finally the Titan.

Cartwright [Radio]: Saunders, how's it coming?

Saunders [Radio]: Sir, Chimera continue to reinforce their positions. Two tunnels secured, three to go.

Cartwright [Radio]: You kill anything coming out of those tunnels that's not wearing shoes.

• Saunders [Radio]: Yes sir, we're on top of it.

After elevating on top of the pylon.

Cartwright [Radio]: Look Sharp! Target those sentry guns before they rain hell down on us!

Upon going to the next pylon.

Cartwright [Radio]: Sergeant Hale, terminate those grinning buggers at the second pylon!

After the Chimera on the second pylon.

Cartwright [Radio]: That's it. Now, shut them down at that third pylon. Saunders, status of H Squad.

Saunders [Radio]: Sir, perfect timing. Second tier tunnels are secure. Enemy reinforcements are cut off.

Cartwright [Radio]: Roger that. Let's mop up the stragglers.

Upon arriving at the third pylon.

Cartwright [Radio]: Sergeant Hale, the final tunnel is right below your position. It's yours for the taking.

When reaching the tunnel, Hale is ambush by a Titan.

Larson [Radio]: Sir, we can't breach the gate! He's cut off!

Cartwright [Radio]: Do what you can, Larson. We're closing that tunnel and we are not losing the Captain's prize pig.

After Hale kills the Titan.

Cartwright [Radio]: Damn. Took it down single-handedly. I'm out twenty quid. That's the last of them. We'll get the Northern Command lads in here to find out what the hell they were digging for.
