The first ONI initiative after mobilising its forces to attack ACS positions and bases in Ansaris, the S-O-D infiltrated an ACS airbase to cut off air superiority in the South of Ansaris. With the assistance from elements of the 7th Infantry Division, the ONI converted the ACS airbase into an ONI Fire Support Base where they would launch Operation Fury Scorpion into Lancaster. The Battle of Lancaster and several smaller towns surrounding the city resulted in the surrendering of the entire 2nd Alvitr Corps that had jurisdiction over South Ansaris, and the capture of Adrian Lux.

Temporarily held at Fire Support Base Sword before being transported back to Orion, Lux underwent interrogation by members of the Joint Communications Unit to reveal his reasons for being in Lancaster and after finding out about the superweapon, interrogating Lux about the whereabouts of the Superweapon Research & Development Facilities were located. Lux finally reveals one of the locations to be in the Bentley Rainforest, in which upon clearing the site, found no evidence of the manufacture of the superweapon. later, the S-O-D team sent to the Bentley Rainforest infiltrated a second site in Albury, and managed to detain two scientists. The two scientists being under ONI custody was short-lived after Lux broke free with the help of several members from Rancor Company and tied up all loose ends by killing the doctors and escaping the base to his safehouse in the Faraday Redwood Forest.
