=== Briefing ===
Recon Commander Jillian:
:This is it! Time for you to go into the Maw and find out what's going on around here.
:The information you got out of the Live Target Pens was exactly what we needed to find out the entrance and infiltrate Cuthah Base. As a result, we sent in a preliminary scout team to report back their findings. Unfortunately, we haven't heard anything back from them. We fear that maybe they got overwhelmed by superior forces.
:We need you to take a squad into Cuthah and report to Captain Barnes, the squad leader of the advanced force we sent into Cuthah. Find out what you can from him and help him complete his mission. Based on our intel, you should take a full squad with you.
:Good luck and try to stay alive.
=== Find Captain Barnes ===
Lieutenant Riley:
: Captain Barnes is dead! Those bastards killed him before we had a chance to retreat out of here. I'm glad you came, though. With your help we should be able to complete our mission.
=== Debriefing ===
Lieutenant Riley:
: I thought they were never going to send help! We've been locked down in here for weeks. We lost half our team in a firefight just after we got here. We fell back into these maintenance tunnels, so we've been doing our best to hide out and finish our mission. Unfortunately, this place is crawling with Thrax, and we're all out of ammo.
:You're our last hope in here, soldier.
