Prelude

Some time before the A.R.C. Outbreak, personnel started getting sick, and some people died from necrosis. At the same time, former SWAT Sergeant, Jake Hawkfield is taken into custody at the facility's prison on Level 0.

Outbreak

After the infection spread at a much quicker rate than previously, infecting nearly everybody in the complex, Jake Hawkfield woke up to find the cell block dark and deserted. He encounters an infected security guard, who he manages to evade by crawling through the ventilation shafts, and eventually comes across the Hermit. Jake arms himself with a pipe and searches for the key to the warden's office.

Jake enters the Butchery, where he encounters Victor, one of the A.R.C.'s butchers. He causes Victor to break a pair of support beams, causing the catwalk to break and making him fall into the meat grinder where he is shredded alive. Shortly after, Jake flees from an infected security guard who grabs a nightstick, but he is saved by a group of uninfected security guards, led by Chief of Security Terrence Mason. The survivors brief him on the situation, and form a plan to reset the Multi Generator Power System.

Immediate effects and PMC occupation

The PMCs showed up first at the 2nd safehouse as a Recon Team. Later on they started bringing more troops and ACEs.
