Delta Force: AZ3 Has Fallen

On the third day after the leak at the Asala AZ3 nuclear power plant in 2036, 90 percent of the heat signatures in the radiation zone vanished. G.T.I. casually classified the incident as a minor biochemical accident and sent in the Ashes Squad to retrieve Hafk's experimental data from the core.

Before they boarded, Victor, the superior whom Red Wolf respected, promised that the organization would never abandon an operative. Six hundred feet above the ground, their helicopter suddenly malfunctioned and crashed into the radiation zone. It had all been planned.

Among the ruins, the squad found the body of a G.T.I. advance team member, with a standard 5.56 bullet hole in the back of his head. His designation was Raven-03. They finally realized the advance team had already been wiped out.

Before long, the safe house locked down. Over the comms came Victor's cold order: lethal force against the squad was authorized. One teammate after another was killed, each trying to escape the guns of their own side.

Red Wolf finally understood. From the very beginning, this mission had never been meant to let them come back alive.
