Plot
In the aftermath of Operation Fury Scorpion, Blackjack Company and the Special Operations Detachment are temporarily stationed at FSB Sword with Adrian Lux detained in the detention centre. It is learned after the operation that Captain Obi and the Company Headquarters team he was travelling with, was shot down and killed during the first wave of the operation. The death of the commanding officer of Blackjack Company shocked all the soldiers of the company, but it also meant that someone needed to replace Obi. Lauder is called to Colonel Munson's office in the command tower where he officially promotes Lauder to the rank of Captain in order to lead Blackjack Company, whilst also promoting Meehan to the rank of Lieutenant to be in charge of 1st Platoon.

With Lux detained on the base, members of the Joint Communications Unit were invited to interrogated Lux at FSB Sword before he is transported back to Orion. With the JCU present and Lux being an extremely highly valued target, Rancor Company of the Sentinel Corps were sent as personnel security guards to protect Lux and ensuring that he didn't escape. During the interrogation, interrogator Lyons finds out that there may be an Alvitr Central Security Weapons Research and Development Facility located in the Bentley Rainforest. Fearing that the ACS may be making a new super weapon, Colonel Welbeck tries to convince the head of the Joint Special Operations Command to allow for a reconnaissance operation in the area to locate the ACS facility.
