As Alias studies the Factory in front of him, separated from it by a river, an Enemy Dropship flies in overhead, dropping enemies onto the roof, as more enemies emerge from the roof tops and windows, pinning Alias down on the dock. He battles them until Tangier arrives with a submarine, informing him of a plan to stop Molov.

As Alias and Tangier continue their journey, they encounter more hazards, including charges being dropped from above and magnetic land mines in the depths, aswell as more submarines. Tangier makes a comment about Shrike not being present in a vehicular combat scenario as the duo duck and weave the Commonwealth hazards.

The Right Way In
| “ Tangier points the way as Alias lays on the firepower. „ |
Tangier informs Alias that the sub bays to gain access to the Nano Base are locked, and she needs time to hack the security system, so Alias has to defend them. Again the hazardous water prove to be a challenge as they dodge more mines and charges, and battles submarines before finally, Tangier has the door unlocked and the pair enter the base.
