Marc, Mitch, Clint, Tobey, and Nick travel deeper into Mercenary Island. Nick explains that ahead lies a massive border separating the outskirts from the heart of Mercenary. Beyond those walls is where Mercenary's leadership, prisons, and military operations are based. Using an old maintenance tunnel Nick knows about, they slip inside. For a moment it seems they've made it unnoticed, but alarms begin sounding. Mercenary soldiers flood the streets and the group is forced to run. Clint becomes separated from the others. In an alley, he's surprised when a young woman in a Mercenary uniform quietly waves him toward a hidden passage. She tells him this is the only time she'll let any of them escape. Before disappearing back into the city, she smirks and tells him she's sure they'll meet again. The team regroups, but Mercenary forces close in from every direction. Realizing someone has to stay behind, Marc orders the others to keep moving. Mitch refuses, but Marc reminds him that Ghost needs a leader. Marc steps into the open while Mitch, Clint, Tobey, and Nick escape through the district. Marc fights until he's overwhelmed and finally allows himself to be captured. Marc is taken away into the depths of Mercenary territory. Now without Marc, Mitch reluctantly assumes command. The group finds temporary shelter in the ruins of an abandoned industrial sector. There, Nick tells them about a prisoner compound hidden somewhere inside Mercenary territory. He's never seen it himself, but he's certain his brother is being held there. Now Marc is likely there too, along with Tobey's sister Iris. The mission changes. Finding the prison becomes their top priority. As night falls, Mitch and Nick scout ahead in search of a safer location for a permanent base. While overlooking a valley, they spot a massive manor sitting on a hill, heavily guarded and isolated from the surrounding city. Mitch asks who lives there. Nick says he doesn't know. But whoever lives inside is important.
