Back at SOCOM headquarters, NASA Commander Jørgensen begins to analyze his newly captured Panthera Tigris in the operation room. Only to find out the artificial intelligent animal-machine, has a radiation defensive mechanism that puts his life in danger. During this process, Jørgensen finds out a secret about the Panthera Tigris. During the operation, the Panthera starts to get aggravated during the process. Later, the perimeter alarm goes off. A massive Elysium ship approached from afar, an enemy descending into the atmosphere towards their exact location. Something, or someone wants their Panther Tigris back immediately. Which prompts General Strycharz to make a quick announcement for all personnel's safety.

The United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM) prepares for the arrival of their high value target (HVT), a mech named Ares Larson. NASA commander Jørgensen begins running test on a earth-like habitable planet Draco. Jørgensen logs his progress about his exploration of the planet within the Draco Constellation. At the same time, he starts thinking about how far humans have come on Earth. The good and bad. Later, Jørgensen begins working with his military machines Theseus, and Thor, only to find out a dangerous beast-like machine has been waiting on them from a distance. Now.... SOCOM has other plans for their newly captured animal-like machine, Panthera Tigris.
