Plot

Danner regains consciousness and is inform by Kratek that he is still useful to him. Kratek reveals that Admiral Grey is planning to use the virus to wipe out the Helghast. Now she has the plasmid trigger and is determined to locate the virus through interrogating Savic, who knows the location of the the secret facility where it is stored. Kratek has Danner return to the Vektan Embassy (which Grey has made her HQ) with a Helghast commando team to get to Savic and recover the trigger.

After fighting through ISA soldiers, Danner reaches Savic but is too late to stop Grey and Benoit from escaping with Justus. Savic tells Danner to switch off his comms to prevent Kratek from listening before revealing to Danner. He explains the virus's location at Facility X01, a mobile facility, and provides him with the access code (30295) needed to unlock the vault containing the virus, which he did not told this to Grey. Furthermore, he reveals that he had injected the plasmid trigger into Justus' bloodstream when Kratek's stormed the Embassy, and Grey is using Justus to activate the virus. Savic urges Danner to stop Grey from achieving her genocide.

After obtaining the code, Danner fights through the ISA and to the bridge leading out of the Embassy. Danner deals with eliminating the remaining ISA forces and Exos before Helghast forces arrive and wiping out the ISA.
