"Rock One," the dropship carrying LT Kassier and GSGT Ladovich is sent to an old Confederate Outpost dubbed "Strongarm" to launch an attack against the Sons of Korhal base. the SOK base is hidden and protected by the terrain. An aerial bombardment could work but Alpha Squadron is under orders to capture the commanding SOK official. The Magistrate (Magistrate Collins) who now has command authority orders Lt. Kassier to take no prisoners.
While Lt. Kassier sits in the command center watching a 3D overlay of the battle, Gunnery SGT Ladovich leads his troops through the rough terrain to assault the base. After thirty minutes of mission time, they are ambushed by the SOK insurgents.
With the help of "Phantom Element" (a name dubbed by Alpha Squadron regulars), a covert ops group assigned to Alpha Squadron, the ambush is broken and the SOK base is surrounded. Ghost agents capture the SOK official but the reports to the Magistrate indicate that all SOK were killed in the assault. The SOK official is brought to Strongarm and tortured by a high ranking Ghost Agent in the Confederacy.
After the operation is complete, Xenomorphs attack the COP. Recon squad Cerebrus arrives and stops the attack.
