Overview
Tom Hansen and the other members of the United States Coast Guard Cutter Ravenswood were sent into the Russian whaler named Star of Sakhalin by Special Agent Jason Bennett. However, most of the team was quickly massacred, leaving Hansen as a lone man to finish his task. When Hansen encounters a pair of scared Russians, they attacks him and Hansen has no choice but to kill them. Soon he sees some horribly dismembered or disemboweled corpses (including that of Lieutenant Lansing). After finding the code from Lansing's dead body, he witnessed an Exomutant killing a one-armed Russian dismembered in half begging for help, via stabbing in the head. After fighting off many panicking Russians and Exos, he makes contact with Bennett on radio about the team being slaughtered. He met Colonel Dmitri Yusupov. Yusupov explained Hansen whereabout Dr. Kamsky's daughter, Anna, shortly before an Exocel bursts out from the Colonel's chest, killing him in the process. Hansen rescues Anna, and the pair fell into the sea later.

An exocel goes inside an unconscious Hansen through the mouth.

He and Anna managed to cure the infection.

Hansen places a C4 in the rig.

On the heliport of the oil rig, he confronts a mutated Kamsky who wanted to bring Anna back. When Anna goes to the helicopter, Hansen fights Kamsky who is then defeated. Hansen goes to the helicopter with Anna, and explodes the rig, killing Kamsky.
