Task Force 88

After an attempt by the UPMC to rescue Dr. Dunby fails, there is little hope that she will ever be rescued. Feeling that they failed in their mission at the Battle of Delpha to protect Dr. Dunby, Thomas and Black Squad set out on their own mission. They'll bring back Dunby or die trying. Finding Dunby in a remote area of Krod, next to a military base, Black Squad's odds of returning with the doctor diminish with every minute they're on the enemy planet. Their ship to return home is destroyed, their communications are cut off, and they're badly outnumbered, leaving them to battle an entire base in order to survive and get off the planet.

Gold Squad lands on an unexplored planet, and quickly loses all communication with their command center. Black Squad is sent in to investigate, and retrieve their missing teammates. They soon discover a grim reality when they find Gold Squad's abandoned camp and several bodies of fallen soldiers. Horrified, but undeterred, Thomas rallies his team to search for any survivors and uncover what happened. But it's not long before they discover the same terrifying threat. As Black Squad pushes deeper into the terrain, they encounter the same monstrous creatures that attacked Gold Squad. Now, Black Squad must find any survivors, and hold off their attackers, in a desperate fight for survival. After relentless attacks, with casualties mounting, and hope dwindling, the remaining members of the squads must find a way to reach their ships to get off the planet before time runs out.

After receiving information that a secret meeting was being held by top Krod officials in the city of Borneo, the UPMC organizes a joint raid to capture them using UPMC soldiers and Task Force Rangers. Though everything goes according to plan at first, the Krod army is waiting for them at every turn. What starts out as a capture mission soon becomes a fight for survival, as Rangers are scattered all over the city, with dwindling ammunition, and defending themselves against overwhelming forces. They must protect their prisoners, who are crucial to ending the Krod war, and hope that a UPMC convoy will come along before it's too late.
