The lift that Kyle and Jake are in continues to descend further down into the crust of the Earth. The lift crashes into the caves as the door opens. Kyle and Jake exit the lift as Jake grunts.

Jake: Damn, you said Shawn used to puke on the Chimeras? If he were here, he'd be spray tagging the walls if he were in there.

Jake examines the cave

Jake: Damn....so this is what the caves look like....but it looks like some sort of formation. Don't you think?

Kyle: Yeah, it does....probably due to reformed due to radioactive fluid....who knows? 

Kyle talks in his radio.

Kyle: Walter? Walter? Come in. Woody? Woody, you there? 

Kyle sighs.

Kyle: Damn it.....Dallas? Can you hear me? Anyone from Dallas? Over? Shawn? James? Olden? Fuck...

Cameron speaks through Kyles' radio.

Cameron: Kyle, can you hear me?

Kyle: Cameron, are you alright? What's your position?

Cameron: Not really sure. I think my lift went off a little and landed somewhere underground.

Kyle: Yeah, we're underground too. Is Walter with you?

Cameron: No, he jumped out to help Woody before we launched....hang on...I see another lift...with some soldiers.

Kyle: Soldiers?

Cameron: Yeah..

Kyle: Okay, look, just go with them and stay there. Do not engage anyone.

Cameron: Okay....keep em crossed for me.

Kyle: Hang in there, kid. We'll see you soon. 

Kyle turns to Jake.

Kyle: Let's go find Cameron.

Jake: We should split up so we can find him faster.

Kyle and Jake travel through the cave systems.

Jake: Goddamn, man. This is a long ass walk.

Kyle: Hey, man...you're the one in your thirties and you do look like you're starting to get a beer belly.

Jake: Man, fuck you.

Kyle laughs, before Cameron shouts through Kyle's radio.

Cameron: Kyle! We're under attack! Condemned everywhere! Oh, shit!

Kyle: Keep your shit together, Rookie! Jake, double time it!

Kyle and Jake sprint to Cameron's location, before both brothers encounter a type of webbing.

Kyle: What the f-the hell is this!

Jake: Cut through it!

Kyle and Jake cut through the webbing, before Cameron calls on the radio.

Cameron: Oh, fuck! Oh, shit! The soldiers! They're dead! They're all fucking dead, Kyle! It's just me! I'm going to fucking die! I'm going to d-

Kyle: Jake! We gotta get in there!

Kyle and Jake manage to cut through the webbing and rush into the fight between John and the Condemned drones. One of the Condemned tosses a grenade at Cameron, apparently killing him in an explosion.

Kyle: Cameron!

Kyle and Jake open fire and manage to kill all of the Condemned drones, before rushing over to Cameron's last known position, only to find the grenade explosion and dead A.O.W soldiers.
