WEEKS EARLIER...

Open in on the interior of a security room. A mercenary is seen relaxing at his post.

ABANDONED(?) F.A.C. MUNITIONS PLANT

Suddenly, the room's motion detector sets off: "MOTION DETECTOR SECURITY ROOM," causing the mercenary to look around. However, the room is vacant. As the alarm continues to sound off, the mercenary turns to it and taps it, briefly turning off the alarm. However, the alarm sets off again, prompting the mercenary to look around the room once again. The mercenary then reaches for the alarm, when suddenly, his radio activates, surprising him.

Sam: (surprised) Ahhh!

HQ: (over radio) Come in security. This is headquarters.

Sam: (picks up radio) Jesus. Yeah, copy HQ. You scared the crap out of me Harv.

HQ: (over radio) Sorry Sam. Hey, meant to tell ya, got a maintenance ticket for your console. Day shift says throwing up warnings.

Sam: Yeah, okay. Motion sensor says there's movement in the room but, there's nothing here.

HQ: (over radio) Ah, that's probably an, you know, bad indicator or somethin'. Or maybe it's that super soldier right behind you who's about to knock you out.

Carolina, camouflaged in black armor, appears behind Sam.

Sam: (chuckles) Yeah. (confused) ...What?

Carolina punches Sam, knocking him out. The radio slides across the floor.

Epsilon: (over radio) Probably that last one, just a guess. Sleep tight, Sam.

Carolina picks up the radio and speaks to Epsilon through it.

Epsilon: (over radio) You set off the motion sensor, Carolina? Amateur hour.

Carolina: You're supposed to disable the motion sensors?

Epsilon: (over radio) Well, I couldn't do that until I got in the room.

Carolina: And I couldn't get you into the room without setting off the motion sensor.

Epsilon: (over radio) Well, you could. You just didn't.

Carolina: Can we just get into the database? I need the files.

Epsilon appears on the control panel.

Epsilon: Already in! Give me a drive.

Carolina inserts a storage unit in the panel.

Carolina: How long to decrypt it?

Epsilon: Oh, please! Already done!

Carolina: Already?

Epsilon: It's a 3-tier lockdown with a 2056-bit encryption key; it ain't rocket science.

Carolina: You're getting faster.

Epsilon: Wow... that sounded like a compliment, I will take it.

Carolina: How long to transfer?

Epsilon: About 45 seconds.

Carolina: And you can't make that go any quicker?

Epsilon: Well, that's the limitation of physical media; don't even get me started on that. Besides, that should give you enough time to deal with the three security personnel who are about to come through the door.

Carolina: Wh... which door?

Epsilon: There's only one door... They just set a breaching charge, by the way.
