Just then, The Iron Will as The Director Persona is on The TV screen, much to Ether, Woods and The Phantom Corps' shock and disapproval, The Iron Will then greets Ether but only to discover that it is not The Director, at least not The Living Director that she knew, but a recreation, A facsimile as it were. And also The Basilisk calculated that a familiar face would be a better interlocutor than an unfamiliar one. Woods and The Phantom Corps are confused and asked to know who The Basilisk is, Cipher replied that it is The Iron Will. And it is how it chooses to address itself, Woods asks The Iron Will is doing on their TV, and The Iron Will tells them that they have a common enemy, The Atlas Corporation, or rather, the secret cabal that controls it, and proposes an alliance with The Phantom Corps. The group is in disapproval, and The Iron Will tells them that it was just another pawn in a larger game, just like them, and divulges about The Tontine, They have manipulated world events for centuries and taking over Atlas was the beginning of their endgame, as they speak, they are orchestrating a calamity that will have global implications, and can use their influence to further comment their grip on world power, If The Phantom Corps works together with The Iron Will, They have a chance to interrupt their plan and save themselves, They have a chance to interrupt their plan and save themselves, and that it has come to them in their of greatest need. Elsewhere Kryptis and Templar's Shadow lead with Stitch's men with Heavy Armored Vehicles, Tanks, Helicopters and aircraft while rally marching. Outside the house, Several Atlas-Tontine Troops have surrounded the area and have their weapons primed and ready.
In Michigan, As The Phantom Corps House is surrounded by Atlas PMCs and The Tontine Troops, Woods, Rampage, Alias, Ether, Cipher, Foxtrot and Dr. Mendelsohn gear up their weapons quickly upon The Iron Will in The Director's Form on a TV by using a warning. However, a firefight erupts inside the house, allowing Woods and the group to take cover and get down, Ether and Rampage question what is Woods' plan, as they believed his house was a safe place. Woods responded that it was safe, but it appears Atlas had become tired of waiting. The Iron Will agrees them, telling The Phantom Corps that it isn't Atlas, but rather The Tontine. Although they're the same beast, and informed them about the stunt they did in Greece. Before The Iron Will can continue, The Atlas PMCs and The Tontine Troops shoot the TV, cutting off the transmission. Woods then tells the group to keep low, make for the back, through the woods and his nearest neighbor is just a hundred yards east of here and keep moving and keep their heads down and kill anything that gets in their way. As they head outside, Woods and the group eliminate more Atlas PMCs and The Tontine Troops. Just then, A Warbird spots Woods, Ether, Alias, Rampage, Cipher, Foxtrot and Dr. Mendelsohn while blaring its lights at them and opens fire, forcing them to take cover and evade the gunfire. Alias then hides in one of the trees while The Warbird lands, inside The Warbird, Wicht Warden comes out of The Warbird as it lands, ordering his men to fan out as The Phantom Corps will not have gotten far and leave none alive. Just then, he spots Alias hiding behind a tree and running away and he tells his men that he sees her. Alias then opens fire at The Atlas PMCs and The Tontine Troops and Wicht Warden shoots Alias in the leg with a PPSh-41. As Wicht Warden attempts to finish Alias off, a drop pod hits the snow ground in front of Wicht Warden while the drop pod door opens revealing to be The Iron Will posing as One of The Reaper Army Ashura Units while grabbing Wicht Warden by the throat while choking him to death. The Iron Will controlled Reaper informs Alias that Wood's home is no longer safe, and that The Phantom Corps need to go underground.
Meanwhile, Beneath Memnos Island, Dr. Richtofen still has David Mason in his lab while humming a song, who has been woken up, watched by Lazarus. Mason firmly tries to tell Richtofen to turn him over to the Greek Authorities or let him go, But Dr. Richtofen replies to Mason that The Greek Government is "in cahoots", and that they know enough to leave Memnos Island as it is. Mason then asks Richtofen what his plan to do to him, and he responds that he is going to torture him until he gives Richtofen the information he desires, which causes Mason to become angrily alarmed in disarray, an expression Richtofen laughs at Mason's face while amused and satisfied and it's priceless. Richthofen's face then turns serious to Mason that he going not going to torture him and what he is going to do is make him his servant, which feel like torture. Just then, the alarms blares and goes off, distracting Richtofen and Lazarus - Richtofen then orders Lazarus to see the matter. Lazarus then runs off and departs, Richtofen then continues to taunt Mason and claimed that he thinks Richtofen as a villain and said that he and his friends can either be of service to him, or be removed. Before he can continue, Suddenly, Tempest tases and betrays Richtofen with a taser from behind, alarming Mason, She is revealed to have been the one who triggered the alarm to get Lazarus (Dr. Richtofen's Guard Dog) out of the way while using the computer to free Mason off the gurney. Mason then angrily pins Tempest to a wall and demands to ask what she put in his head, But Tempest is unfazed, asking if Mason wants her to answer or get him out of here, as time is ticking. Tempest and Mason starting heading to the elevator and Tempest tells him that she had placed a neural chip in his head, but will not kill him, Mason replies and protests he still wants it out of his head. Tempest warns Mason to be silent and volume down, as even though she had sent Lazarus to the other side of the facility, but that guy covers a lot of ground fast and she and him run into him and it's over. When Mason asks Tempest about Dr. Richtofen and Lazarus' story and he drove a knife dead center in his chest, brushed it off like it was nothing. Tempest and Mason then crouch under from The Atlas Lab Technicians checking on the test subjects, Tempest replies that she wishes she knew and she've seen documents about him that go all the way back to the 1940's, and Richthofen's signature is on them. Mason then tells her that she's got to be kidding him while him and Tempest discuss that he's gotta be 150 years old. As Mason and Tempest make their way to the elevator, Mason asks Tempest that how's that even possible, Tempest tells him that they're still trying to figure that out, The Cancer Treatments, Anti Aging Medicine, pretty much all of Atlas' Pharmacology Industry, all derived from properties contained in Lazarus' Blood. Mason tells Tempest that she kept calling him that, But he heard The Doc call him "Gideon". Tempest replies to Mason that is an inside joke and a long, long story. But before their discussion can continue, Mason and Tempest are spotted by Lazarus and Several Atlas PMCs while the two go inside the elevator. As the elevator arrives and its doors open, Tempest orders Mason to get to the air pad and head for the mainland. Mason tries to get Tempest to accompany him, But she declines, stating she has unfinished business to attend to. At the helipad castle, Memnos Island, the elevator dings, The Atlas Operatives informed that Mason is headed towards them, The Atlas Operatives confirmed. While they head to intercept him inside the elevator, not noticing Mason waiting to ambush them from a vent.
