Plot
After finding a lead on an unknown terrorist organisation in downtown Enderossi, the Katona Brigade is quickly dispatched to infiltrate and investigate the target building. Alpha Team 1 moves towards the apartment complex from the rear garden, Alpha Team 2 infiltrates from the main road, Alpha Team 3 remains on standby and helps remove any detained personnel while Sierra 1 provides sniper overwatch from an adjacent building.

Entering into the backyard of the apartment complex, Captain Elias Streicher, Senior Officer James Clayton Lacroix and Junior Officer First Class Sanchez head down to the basement via an outside staircase while Chief Officer Alan 'Aizy' Zeek and Senior Officer Rachel Mykelti rendezvous with Alpha Team 2 to infiltrate the building from the front door. Entering the building, the receptionist is immediately detained by Senior Officer Jason Morello before Elias' group comes up from the basement after having detained two personnel. Alpha Team 1 and Alpha Team 2 then stack and push into the function room that is opposite the reception desk and to the right of the staircase leading down to the basement. Master Chief Officer Marcel Garrick and Chief Officer Timothy Kato push into the function first before Aizy and Mykelti push in after. Four men and one women sit around a table filled with documents and papers before two men reach out for their weapons, but are shot down by Aizy and Garrick, resulting in the other three to surrender.

Having secured the ground floor of the apartment complex, Alpha Team 3 cuts the power to the building before entering the premises to conduct a Site Sensitive Exploitation (SSE) of the function room with Alpha Team 2. Alpha Team 1, consisting of Captain Streicher, Aizy, Mykelti, Lacroix and Sanchez begin to move up to the first floor of the building in unison. While moving up the stairs, Captain Streicher lets off two suppressed shots to drop two targets before the team reaches the top of the staircase where they split off to individually secure each room on the first floor. Captain Streicher and Mykelti moved to the left side of the hallway, Aizy and Sanchez secured the rooms on the right side of the hallway, and Lacroix is tasked with holding the flight of stairs moving to the next floor. Other than Captain Streicher's room having terrorists located inside, and Aizy's room having a young couple with a baby, whom were quickly removed from the building, the first floor was secured and Alpha Team 1 proceeded to the second floor.

Halfway up the second flight of stairs, Alpha Team 1 is stopped by Sierra 1 where two terrorists with PKM's had lines of sight of the top of the staircase. After Sierra 1 successfully neutralising the threats, Alpha Team 1 proceeded up the stairs before breaking off to secure the next four rooms on the second floor, Captain Streicher and Mykelti moving to the rooms on the left side of the hallway, and Aizy and Sanchez moving to the right. While clearing the rooms on the right side of the hallway, Sanchez is critically wounded after a terrorist on the other side of a door opens fire randomly, inflicting several bullet wounds onto Sanchez before the terrorist and the room is quickly cleared by Aizy. Lacroix, as the team's field medic, assesses the wounds that were inflicted onto Sanchez before he is taken downstairs via a stretcher with the help of two other officers. The second floor is quickly cleared before Junior Officer Second Class Lockwood joins up with Alpha Team 1 in clearing the remaining floors of the apartment building.

Moving to the third floor of the building, Alpha Team 1 successfully clears all four apartments, securing two families without commotion before moving to the fourth and final floor where Aizy takes point. Aizy enters one apartment to find three unarmed females standing near the front door of the apartment. When one female slowly walks backwards to grab an AK47 sitting on the chair behind her, the women is quickly shot down by Aizy before being saved by Sierra 1 who neutralises the other two females who reach for the handguns that were hidden in their pockets. The fourth floor is secured and while inspecting the last apartment unit on the fourth floor, Lockwood finds a small hidden staircase that ascends to a fifth floor or an attic.

With Lockwood taking point, Captain Streicher, Aizy and Lockwood move up to the fifth floor where a single door stands on the right side of the staircase. Lockwood stacks the left side of the door while Aizy unhinges the lock on the door. After unlocking the door, Lockwood bashes the door inward and enters the attaic before being killed by a shotgun blast, sending Lockwood's body crashing into the wall opposite the doorway. Captain Streicher and Aizy quickly retreat a few steps down the stairs before Aizy throws a flashbang into the room and the two push in, where Captain Streicher kills the blinded terrorist. Lacroix and Mykelti come up to check on Lockwood before taking him back down in a body bag while Captain Streicher and Aizy commence an SSE of the attic. While observing a certain corkboard in the attic, Captain Streicher realises that the map pinned to the board links up with an incident that occurred 7 years ago in the Alvitr Kingdom, when Captain Streicher was only a Senior Officer, and was under the command of Captain Forge in the Alvitr Brigade.
