While waiting to be rescued, Prophet fights off wave after wave of Ceph. Interestingly, the Ceph are equipped with exoskeletons similar to those in Crysis 2, though there are some that aren't in either game. The ice sphere also seems to have disappeared. It is revealed that Prophet was on the verge of being dishonorably discharged and sent to Leavenworth before testing the Nanosuit. He also becomes quite fond of his Nanosuit, comparing it to a "second skin". Unfortunately, the VTOL, his evacuation, gets shot down as it approaches.
