| - Gould: "Alcatraz, Nanosuit 2 had a whole suite of evolving biofeedback functions. It's the most sophisticated combat hardware around. Anyone going into the battlefield with that needs real time logistical support and that was my job. Set up like that, I got real close to Prophet. So I know that if he put you in that suit, he had a purpose for you. We've got to get you into that cradle, scan the suit's deep layers and find out just what that purpose was." Gould: "Okay, your diversion worked. They're moving troops away from Wall Street. This is our chance. Now listen, I'm gonna find a way in through the lower levels. Your best bet is to, uh... break in through the roof. But hurry, man." New Objective: Locate the Nanosuit Deep Scan Cradle: Find a way into the CELL Facility. Gould: "Okay, I'm in. You'd better get down here fast. They're sending reinforcements from the Prism. We don't have much time." Gould: "This is it. Now look, don't shoot anyone in there, alright? I'm gonna need some technical support with the new cradle software. You ready? Let's do it. Go!" C. Abao: "Don't shoot me, man! I'm nobody." Gould: "Get the system powered up. I want to do a suit scan. Now, man!" C. Abao: "Yeah, sure. I'm on it. Just don't." Cradle chamber doors open and Alcatraz sits into the cradle. C. Abao: "Oh, now way, man. Ballistic trauma to the heart and both lungs, looks like the right ventricle took most of the damage there. Lungs ruptured at multiple locations, broken ribs at, well, take your pick - third, fourth, fifth... Got a flail chest segment right there, extensive pulmonary bruising... More ballistic trauma to the sternum, the thoracic lumbar vertebrae... He's corpse walking, Gould. Without the suit... Look at that, it's like it's growing into the wounds. Actually merging with the tissue." Gould: "I want you to focus on the deep layers of the suit, right down into the substrate. There's something going on down there, some kind of additive datapile." C. Abao: "Right. Opening the buffer space. Preparing for deep scan." Prophet: "Alcatraz? That's your name? Alcatraz... Destiny 's a bitch, huh? It 'll be on you now, son..." C. Abao: "It's overloading the systems!" Gould: "Turn it off!" C. Abao: "I'm trying to." Gould: "That's transmission, man - it's sending out a fucking broadcast!" Lockhart: "Get this door open." Lockhart: "Got men all over the downtown looking for your ass, tin man, and here you are, already trussed and tied." Lockhart pulls up a gun to Alcatraz face. Strickland: "Yeah, trussed and tied enough he doesn't need to be dead. Right?" Lockhart: "Yeah, right." Strickland: "Commander Lockhart. You will stand down. Get him up. "(referring to Gould). Gould: "Tara Strickland." Strickland: "Nathan Gould. Always a pleasure. Keep an eye on him. If he gives you trouble, don't do too much damage. We 'll need to interrogate later." Strickland: "You'd better power him down before you let him out of that thing." Lockhart: "Be a pleasure." Lockhart: "Just so you know, Prophet. You walk slow, you play nice. Going to have this jammed in your ear the whole way out. You give any trouble, I 'll take your head off. Now get up. Don't fuck with me, Prophet. Get up and walk." Strickland: "What's the matter, Gould? I'd have thought you'd be happy now Great Big Evil Conspiracy finally here to bite you in the ass." Lockhart: "I say don't fuck with me. Move!" Gould: "Jesus Tara. If your father could see you now. Working for these assholes." Strickland: "Yeah, well, my father's dead. Now shut your fucking mouth." Gould: "You think you're so smart, Tara? You do realize this isn't Prophet, don't you? He's just some grunt." CELL Assault Operative: "The hell is that?" Strickland: "Seismic shift. Hargreave reckons it's..." CELL Assault Operative: "It's coming down!" Strickland: "Out! Get the fuck out!" Lockhart: "You heard her, bitch! Move!" CELL Assault Operative #2: "Got you know, tin man." Lockhart: "Get him across to the Prism, walk him in there. He's Hargreave's problem now." CELL Assault Operative #2: "What the hell is that?" CELL Assault Operative #3: "Going down, we are going." Nanosuit: "Epidermal damage. Seek distance from heat source. Systems Recovery... Corrosive agent isolated." Nanosuit: "Base functions impaired. Re-routing primary power systems. Please wait." Nanosuit: "Primary systems re-routed. Cleared to proceed." Ceph Devastator unit appears and shoots Alcatraz. Alcatraz looses consciousness.
