Stalker 2-1: Goliath, Goliath, this is Stalker 2-1. Standby for report 1-3, over.
Goliath: Stalker 2-1, this is Goliath, send traffic, over.
(Transmissions can be continually heard if the player stays at the spawn point of the level: Russo-American War Radio Chatter)
Private James Ramirez starts in a bunker and pulls out his M4A1 Grenadier w/ Holographic. As he walks through the bunker explosions shake the room and soldiers are seen overlooking electronics and wounded soldiers. Sgt. Macey and Cpl. Keating are standing near two soldiers. If the player notices, a medic is tending to another critically injured soldier on a hospital bed, performing CPR on the injured soldier. If the player stayed long enough, the medic performing CPR can be seen looking at his watch, presumably taking note of the time of death as the soldier remained motionless. A medic is carrying a wounded soldier on his back, while there is a conversation between two Rangers.
Ranger: We've got wounded!
Ranger 1: Wounded man coming through!
Ranger 2: Is he alright?
Ranger 1: Yeah, he got hit by a mortar and shot in the foot, but its not too bad.
Ranger 3: He'll be alright, but he needs treatment now.
Ranger 4: I need to rest, man. It's too much up there.
Ranger 5: We all feel the same way man. (Note: This is really hard to hear!)
As Ramirez approaches where Cpl. Dunn is resting against the wall, a barely audible transmission comes in from Overlord to Sgt. Foley:
Overlord: Ensure all weapons are Condition One and get topside to provide support. Casevac birds are taking heavy fire.
Ramirez meets up with Sgt. Foley, Cpl. Dunn and the team at the entrance. A Ranger tosses Dunn his SCAR-H Thermal Sight.
Ranger: On your feet - we're Oscar Mike.
Sgt. Foley: Roger, Two-One Actual out. Listen up! This evac site is getting hit hard and we need to buy 'em some time! Hooah?
Rangers: Hooah!
The team moves out of the bunker through a trench.
Overlord: All callsigns, the LZ is under heavy fire. Uncover enemy positions and engage any potential targets.
As Ramirez comes out of the bunker he sees the damaged Washington Monument, American evac choppers are evacuating wounded while supported by American Apaches. Russian forces occupying various buildings including the Department of Commerce rain gunfire, RPGs, and mortar fire down on U.S. ground forces in Washington D.C. The team heads towards the Department of Commerce. A Javelin missile is seen fired from the top corner of the building and flying down towards an Abrams tank on the street. A Ranger is wounded by an explosion and crawls forward before dying whilst another Ranger signals for troops to move up before taking cover. A squad of F-15 Eagle's and F-35's are seen soaring past as several Rangers board MH-6 Little Bird helicopters whilst several CH-46 Sea Knight helicopters are seen taking off.

A Ranger is heard on the radio.

Ramirez mans an "M82 50. Caliber Sniper Rifle with Thermal Scope" and begins to target hostiles armed with Javelin missile launchers.
Overlord: Hunter Two-One, be advised, you have enemy foot mobiles converging on your position... stay frosty.
After about 4 or 5 kills:
Cpl. Dunn: Hostiles in the perimeter! Open fire! Open fire!
They engage incoming hostiles.
Cpl. Dunn: Taking fire! Taking fire! Foot mobiles in the perimeter!
They manage to hold them off.
Overlord: Hunter Two-One, recommend you clear outta there... I see a mass of foot-mobiles converging on your position...
Sgt. Foley: Negative, negative! I have eyes on enemy armor and helicopters advancing on the evac site from the south and southwest! Ramirez, use some of this ordnance to take out the enemy vehicles! Move! Ramirez! Take out those vehicles! The evac site is taking heavy fire! Enemy vehicles are closing in! Take 'em out!
Ramirez and his team grab Javelins and fire on enemy helicopters and BTRs, providing support for the evac site.
Overlord: Hunter Two-One, you've bought the evac site valuable time! Well done! Now get your ass to the roof ASAP... you are in danger of being overrun!
Sgt. Foley: Roger that, we're headed to the rooftops! Everyone, move out! Get to the roof and RV with the SEAL Team! Move! Move! Ramirez let's move out! Let's go, this sector's gonna be crawlin' with hostiles! We gotta go, now! We're outnumbered! We gotta get to the roof ASAP! Go! GO! GO!!!!
Overlord: Atlas Two-Six is now away. All remaining evacuation units, execute level three evacuation protocols. Urgent surgicals ONLY.
They begin to evacuate from the crow's nest. A Ranger destroys a door with a shotgun and kicks it down. They head up the stairs. At the second set of stairs, a Russian crashes in from the door and attacks. Ramirez kills him. The team moves around the balcony and climb up the rubble to the roof.
Ranger: We just lost Atlas Two-Three from Triple A from the Capitol Building! Get those civvies back in their seats!!!
Sgt. Foley: We're out of time! GO!
Cpl. Dunn: Hostiles closing in!
Sgt. Foley: Move up! Go! Go!
(If you don't get to the roof after a small amount of time:
Sgt. Foley: There's no time! WE GOTTA GET TO THE ROOF! RAMIREZ, GET YOUR ASS TO THE HELICOPTER! GO!! Get to the roof! Go! GO!!!)
They reach the rooftop where a Black Hawk is waiting. Russian soldiers are seen coming up from below.
Ranger: I've got a major hydraulic leak! We're barely gonna make it over the MSR! We gotta touch down! We gotta la- (static)
Dagger Two-One: Hunter, this is Dagger Two-One. We are in position at the LZ on the rooftop, what's your status?
Sgt. Foley: We're on our way. Hostiles following close behind!
(If the player does not enter the Black Hawk:
Sgt. Foley: We gotta move! Ramirez, get on that minigun! Ramirez, get on the Minigun!)
They board the helicopter and Ramirez mans the minigun. As they take off, across from them, a Russian Mi-28 helicopter fires its missiles but misses. A Ranger fires a Stinger and shoots it down. Dagger Two-One takes off and flies towards the Washington Monument.
Sgt. Foley: Overlord, we've linked up with the SEALs on the rooftop and are heading out. Interrogative - has the Washington Monument site been evacuated, over?
Overlord: Negative, Two-One! They're still pinned down by infantry and light armor from the World War 2 Memorial. Doesn't look good from here, over!
Sgt. Foley: Copy Overlord, we'll do what we can from the air, out!

Ramirez fires the minigun and obliterates everything at the Memorial, spraying at RPG teams and light armor vehicles.
Overlord: Atlas Two-Three, Two-Four, and Two-Five are all away. Ground units at LZ four, fall back now.
An enemy Havoc takes off from the Memorial.

Ramirez shoots down the Havoc and continues to wipe out remaining enemies at the Memorial.
Atlas Two-Five: This is Atlas Two-Five at LZ one! Engines at thirty percent! We can't carry any more people! We're gonna have to leave some of them behind!
Evac Site: Dagger Two, the Washington Monument is taking fire from the main road!
Ramirez turns and sprays the minigun at enemies behind cars all over the main road.
Overlord: Overlord to all units, Evacuation Order April, I repeat, Evacuation Order April! Everyone get the hell outta there!
Ranger: Get your men on that transport now! We are leaving!

SAM missiles are launched from the John F. Kennedy Department of Justice, shooting down Little Bird Dagger Two-Three and damaging Dagger Two-One.
Dagger Two-One: Incoming! Incoming!
Sgt. Foley: Overlord, we're hit, but still in the air. We've got a massive SAM battery at the Department of Justice... we're going in!
Dagger Two-One hovers along the fourth floor of the Dept. of Justice. Ramirez sprays the minigun at RPG teams all along the floor.
Dagger Two-One: We're losing attitude control!
Sgt. Foley: Take us up! If we're going down, we're takin' those SAM sites with us!
Dagger Two-One flies over the roof of the building. Ramirez fires at the SAM battery, but the Russians have launched their missiles.
Dagger Two-One: SAM launch! Hang on!
Dagger Two-One is hit and starts to spin towards the ground.
Dagger Two-One: We're hit! Mayday mayday, this is Dagger Two-One. We are going down at grid square Papa Bravo 2...
Dagger Two-One crashes. The player's vision blacks out.
Overlord: Dagger Two-One, this is Overlord. Do you copy, over? Dagger Two-One, this is Overlord, how copy, over?
Ramirez wakes up shell-shocked in the wreckage. Outside, Sgt. Foley, Cpl. Dunn, Pvt. McCord, Pvt. Sandler, and Pvt. Wade fend off hostiles from the crash site. Ramirez looks at his hands, which have sustained major injuries. His gloves are torn and his watch is damaged and no longer functioning.
Cpl. Dunn: Sandler, target 2 o'clock!
Pvt. McCord: Two mags left!
Sgt. Foley: Dunn, talk to me!
Cpl. Dunn: I'm okay!
Pvt. Sandler: Watch your flank!
Cpl. Dunn: Target, 11 o'clock! Range, 50 meters!
Wade turns around and hands Ramirez an M4A1 Grenadier w/ Holographic.
Pvt. Wade: Take this and stay down!
Wade is shot in the back of the head and killed.
Sgt. Foley: Wade's down!
Ramirez loads his M4A1 and begins taking out targets from inside the wreckage.
Pvt. Sandler: McCord, reloading, cover me!
Pvt. McCord: McCord covering!
Pvt. Sandler: Last mag!
Sgt. Foley throws a mag at Ramirez.
Sgt. Foley: Ramirez! Last mag! Make it count! Team, ammo check!
Pvt. Sandler: I'm good!
Enemy helicopters drop off more troops.
Cpl. Dunn: There's too many of them!
Pvt. McCord: Sean! Last mag!
Sgt. Foley: Sandler, sound off!
Pvt. Sandler: New target, range, 80 meters!
Pvt. McCord: Got it, got it!
Cpl. Dunn: Tracer! Three rounds left!
Cpl. Dunn is shot and wounded.
Sgt. Foley: Corporal! Hang on!
Cpl. Dunn: Oh shit...
Sgt. Foley: Defend this position!
Ramirez runs out of ammo. An Mi-28 Havoc with a searchlight blinds him...
