## Plot

Florida scientists are creating weapons technology with improvements for the future, as they work on prototypes of weapons with futuristic. They are studying tech for the future as more started to develop drones and many weapons. A woman in a mask starts to attack the city with her weapons as she fights against the Scientist many of them scatter as she has the place to herself.

Doctor Krueger is doing test subjects on her projects, as she is working on analyzing the weapons of Tides-5, which has a Cannon and a scanner with it. Scientist sees this as more successful than scanning through walls and many places like a force field. Aiden is busy looking out of the window, as U.N.I.T uses their weapons for training. Logan is drinking his water after doing training as Aiden still looking outside as Logan tries to talk him down. Aiden is thinking about the mission, as Logan wants him to do something else as he still thinking about the next attack by Todd. Logan was not happy with Aiden for not being there in Texas, as he had a mission in New Zealand which he stopped as Glenn and Logan got beaten by Todd and Volkov. Glenn contacts Logan, and he tells Aiden that Florida Scientists are attacked by an unknown woman Logan sees that FCPD has attacked her and it turns out that Logan recognized her as it is Lorena as she is going to the reactor core to overheat the city as Doctor Krueger said. Glenn sends them to Florida, as they go to find out.

They go to Florida in a jet, as Doctor Krueger is going with them. She remembers that Lorena destroyed Doctor Krueger's greatest creation as it was nearly completed until she destroyed it as Aiden was there as she escaped from prison multiple times. Lorena has entered the room of tech in the future as Doctor Krueger fears as they go inside the room in Florida gate. In the room, many of them are gone and none are in the building. Aiden and Logan suspect many injured Scientists and FCPD as many of them have been attacked by Lorena and her weapons and skills. Doctor Krueger sees the camera footage as she hacks it and sees that Lorena attacks many of them to get in her way, as she is very good with her reflexes. They go to more rooms to find out.

Lorena overheats the reactor core, which will destroy anyone but a thousand miles. She uses her weapons as she gets upgrades from the Scientist that she took. Doctor Krueger searches for more that relates to Lorena's plans as the pipelines are destroyed, tortured by Doctor Krueger which leads to the rescue, and many expensive items including the Golden Diamond. She takes some of the equipment to use for her tests as Aiden and Logan are gone to find her as she goes to find them.

Aiden and Logan scout for many rooms as FCPD forces are defeated by Lorena Logan is surprised that she is getting better as they continue to scout they look everywhere as Lorena appears. They battle her, as she is very skilled, and fight off many of Aiden and Logan's attacks. Lorena knows how good Aiden fights, as he remembers him for being a tough opponent. Logan calls her a "Tough to move from". Doctor Krueger searches for her plans, as she uses blueprints to make different traps and ideas to use. Logan is nearly defeated by Lorena, as Aiden shuts down the reactor core. Doctor Krueger tells them about a machine, traps, weapons, and creating many more crazy. Aiden and Logan battle her again, and as they manage to fend her off, Logan chases her as she escapes. Aiden couldn't find her, as Logan got what they wanted, and Aiden wanted Glenn to confirm it.

Glenn was happy that Logan stopped the reactor core, as they got Lorena's plans. He wants Logan and Aiden to capture Lorena for this as they think, she is helping Todd and Volkov. Glenn tells Aiden about a dangerous opponent he faced, as it turned out to be Lorena. Aiden looks up and thinks about the next ahead.
