1997: Present Day
(Dynasty soldiers patrol around a Tempest-ridden fissure. Underneath, an archaeologist[2] explores around a mysterious temple-like structure.)
Technician: What have you found?
Archaeologist: Huh... It's old... Looks like stone, but it isn't! It's uh it's too perfectly coarse, like it... It wanted to be this shape... I think it was built for the Tempest or maybe the other way around.
Technician: Is there a way in?
Archaeologist: Well, it appears to be laid down like a ziggurat.
Technician: Show me!
Archaeologist: Uh-huh, oh yes, uh yes, yes. Follow me.
(The Dynasty soldiers follow the archaeologist towards the structure. The Technician pulls a Guard to the side.)
Technician: Hey, inform Domovoy. He will want to know about this.
(Meanwhile, GDF forces arrive at the area.)
GDF soldier: Go go go!
(GDF and Dynasty troops exchange fire.)
GDF soldier: I'm taking heavy fire!
(The Technician and the Guard hear the firefight above.)
GDF soldier: Flank 'em!
(Two Dynasty Guards are gunned down.)
GDF soldier: Incoming!
(A Grenadier steps forward, taking two shots to his armor before throwing a grenade. The explosion throws a Dynasty Guard down into the fissure.)
Technician: Send the data, NOW!
(A Hunter Tank is deployed onto the field and fires its main gun.)
