The Saints Wing

"The Saints Wing" is the second mission in Saints Row IV.
==Overview==
5 years later after the assassination of Cyrus Temple, Playa, as the President of the United States, heads to the press conference along with Benjamin King, as the Chief of Staff, and Pierce, as the communications director, discussing various problems, such as poverty and apartheid.
Playa meets the Vice President Keith David regarding 2 bills about fixing world hunger and curing cancer, the congressman who tries to intimated them with a filibuster, and Josh Birk on the way. While Kinzie, Press Secretary, is busy dealing with the reporters, Playa meets with Shaundi, Director of the Secret Service, who tells them about alien invasion that Matt Miller and Asha have discovered. Playa takes as a joke and also gets distracted by Shaundi's revealing attire and she tries to convince Playa about the impending threat, and Playa eventually decides to do something about it. However, their discussion is caught short as explosion suddenly crippled the conference room and Zinyak visits the White Crib, and tells everyone that the best and brightest will find salvation in the Zin Empire. Kinzie calls out that she has intelligence and Zinyak gladly abducts her, making Playa and Shaundi run up and try to save her, but the Secret Service pins Playa down while Shaundi gets caught by Zinyak and subsequently abducted.
Playa breaks out of the Secret Service agents grip and head to the Oval Office and grabs some weapons. The Zin continues to abduct the rest of the Saints and Cabinet members, including Keith David, Ben King, Pierce, Matt Miller and Asha and leaves Playa the sole Cabinet member left as they fight through the White Crib and proceeds to a turret outside to repeal the Void UFOs attacking. A Zin Battleship flies in and destroys the Washington Monument before getting shot down by Playa.
After the Battleship crashes, Playa charges in and shoots through the window before Zinyak catches them like he did with Shaundi earlier. The two break apart as they get into a fight with one another. Eventually, Playa out-maneuvers Zinyak and goes to execute him with their Heavy Pistol, but Zinyak however, teleports away and punches Playa, making them drop their Heavy Pistol. Zinyak then uses Telekinesis on Playa and proceeds to violently slam them against the walls and leaves them battered and defeated as Zinyak remarks on how much fun he's going to have breaking Playa, and successfully abducts Playa along with the rest of the whole cabinet.

==Trivia==
* This is Benjamin King's first appearance in the Saints Row series since the final mission in Saints Row. This is also the first time he has a speaking line since the last Vice Kings mission and also interacting with Playa since that mission.
* When joining a Co-op game after having already completed "Dancing Queen", Benjamin wears his Super Homie outfit in the first cutscene, despite being in the real world.
** This also happens using the unlockitall cheat in both singleplayer and Co-op.
** This happens because Ben is the only character who wears the same outfit in The Simulation and the White Crib. All Homies are defined with both outfits, and which one is worn depends on whether his super powers are unlocked, but all other characters in this mission use a special character model.
* During the opening cutscene, Pierce asks Playa if they are going to get married to raise the approval poll, to which they respond "fuck no". In the next mission, "A Pleasant Day", they are shown to have a wife, although in The Simulation. This is further played with in Saints Row: Gat out of Hell when Playa is abducted by Satan to marry his daughter.
* The Congressman choices may be an allusion to former congressman .
* The Congressman is a re-skinned William Sharp, a character from Saints Row and a cut character for Saints Row IV.
* The "Number one fan"'s shirt colour is random.
* Oleg and Josh are both seen in the first portion of the mission, but are not present after the Zin invade.
* In pre-release gameplay videos of the second cutscene, after Playa asks Shaundi "When did you start taking Kinzie seriously?", she replies with "because the people who helped us kill [beep] said we should." The censored word may be "Cyrus" or "Cyrus Temple", and may have been censored to avoid spoilers, but is more likely she was saying "Bin Laden", the original target of the first mission.
** In the final release of the game, Shaundi's dialogue is changed to "When the people who helped us save the world said we should."
* It is not possible to pick up Zin weapons during this mission.
* Numerous times during this mission, the screen exhibits "glitch" effects seen within The Simulation, although this mission is supposed to take place in the real world.
* The Zinyak fight at the end of the mission is a based fight, reminiscent of fighting Killbane.
** No buttons are required to be pressed during the battle, and it is impossible to fail the mission during the battle.
** Zinyak wipes his mouth regardless of whether Playa lands a punch.
* Playa's dramatic reaction to the destruction of the Washington Monument is a reference to the 1968 film .
* When joining a Co-op game, clothing from The Simulation can be worn, despite this mission taking place in the real world.
* Secret Service Agent's quote "I'm not even supposed to be here today." is a reference to Dante's quote from .
* This is the only time Zinyak or any other NPC uses Telekinesis outside The Simulation, and is the only time Playa is picked up by Telekinesis.
* The quest name "Hail to the Chief" was first revealed in pre-release gameplay demos, although the title appearing on-screen was never explained in any of them.
*Playa feeds an apple to the Tiger from Tiger Escort.
===Co-op===
*The guest is not pinned down by the secret service, but cannot trigger the Oval Office scripted sequence until the host gets free.
*The guest's turret is located to the left, but the cutscene shows both players getting into the right turret.
*Regardless of who destroys the Zin ships, the quick time events during the battle with Zinyak are only available to the host, while the guest watches.
