Captain Butcher has called in three more Operators — designated S.O.T.F. 008 — to investigate the lasting damage from the enemy attacks that hit Caldera. The island is retaken through a combination of precision tactics and a certain amount of style. The reward is a cache of experimental prototype weapons that should not exist. The existence of those weapons raises an immediate question: what threat were they designed for? An abandoned radio in the ruins provides part of the answer — picking up signals and sounds unlike anything in the known catalog of creatures. Something is out there. The prototypes suggest that someone, somewhere, knew it was coming.
