During the Red Faction's setup of a new base in The Badlands, Marauders stole a cache of weapons on the site. Hugo Davies sends Alec Mason to investigate their hideout and find the weapons. In a turn of events, Mason finds the ruins of the old Ultor facilties, including Capek's Inner Sanctum, then discovering an unknown device which he brings to be investigated by Samanya.
Briefing
Hugo Davies
We're setting up a new base of operations in The Badlands. We hid a cache of weapons near the site, but we didn't hide it well enough. The Marauders found it and made off with the weapons. Our trackers believe they have a hideout near this location. Your job is to find it. The Marauders have been out here a long time, but we don't have much intel. All we know is that they're scavengers... and extremely hostile to outsiders.
Dialogue
Hugo Davies
We've spotted a Marauder vehicle. Follow it and see where it goes.
Marauder vehicle reached
Hugo Davies
That's close enough. If they spot you, this mission is over. Let's see where they're going. They must have a base or outpost nearby.
Marauder vehicle enters portal
Alec Mason
You're not gonna believe this... The Marauders drove right through a rock.
Hugo Davies
Say again?
Alec Mason
It must be a hologram, but where did they get that technology?
Hugo Davies
Go in there and see what you can find out.
Marauder vehicle found
Alec Mason
I found the Marauder vehicle, but no Marauders.
Hugo Davies
The entrance to their base must be nearby. Find it.
Marauder base found
Alec Mason
This must be it.
Hugo Davies
Be careful, Mason. It could be a trap.
Alec Mason
Alright I'm in. What is this place?
Hugo Davies
Given your location, you might be in the old Ultor mining complex. It was abandoned decades ago, after the first Red Faction uprising...
Headset interference
Capek
Hahaha...
Alec Mason
I'm getting some interference.
Capek
Still there, Parker? Your persistence is beginning to annoy me.
Hugo Davies
What are they saying?
Capek
Where could we be going? I hear you wonder. Soon you will know, Parker.
Alec Mason
Something about Parker.
Hugo Davies
Could be EDF.
Capek
You will pay for every iota of damage you caused, Parker. You will pay. Dearly.
Alec Mason
Doesn't sound like EDF to me. He's talking to someone named Parker.
Hugo Davies
Parker's dead.
Device found
Alec Mason
I've got some kind of device here... Never seen anything like it.
Hugo Davies
Sam better have a look. Mason, we've got a problem here. Recon has spotted EDF units moving on your position.
Alec Mason
Say again? I'm losing you.
Leaving the Ultor mining complex
Alec Mason
Sam, you there?
Samanya
Go ahead, Mason.
Alec Mason
I found a device in the old Ultor mines. The commander wants you to look it over.
Samanya
Hey, did you see any Marauders?
Alec Mason
Just the ones I followed in there.
Samanya
Did you kill them?
Alec Mason
Why do you care?
Samanya
Never mind. Just bring me the device.
Hugo Davies
The EDF are moving in force on your position. Get out before they pin you down.
