General Aria's team embarks on the mission to neutralize the Syndicate's command node hidden in the icy expanse of Siberia. The facility, heavily fortified with rogue AI defenses and Syndicate operatives, is their most challenging target yet. Zane and Yara provide remote support, guiding the team through complex digital security systems.
As the team breaches the perimeter, the rogue AI launches countermeasures, including automated drones and digital firewalls designed to disrupt Vigil's monitoring systems. Zane counters with Circuit Breaker, temporarily disabling the AI's defenses. However, the Syndicate's operatives engage the team directly, forcing Aria's unit into a dangerous firefight.
After intense combat, Aria's team reaches the core chamber. Zane remotely deploys a specialized virus to disrupt the node's operations, and the team plants explosives to ensure the facility is irreparably destroyed. With seconds to spare, they escape as the facility collapses in a fiery explosion, severing the Syndicate's command structure.
