Bangalore wakes up at the medical station after the brutal battle at Gridiron. Jackson's timely intervention to retreat from the war saved his sister's life. He tells her that the IMC ordered an official retreat, which is why they have now arrived at the Outlands.

Bangalore, who is devastated from leaving her post, gets a renewed sense of duty and sends out a distress signal to all IMC operatives close by. She discovers that Jackson retreated from the battle like a coward, and calls upon IMC officials to take them back to Gridiron.
