James wakes up angry and with a horrible headache, still in the forest. His body is healed, but the pain remains. James picks up a squirrel, knowing that it is used for surveillance, and rips it open, revealing the blueish glow that indicates it is connected to the network. He pulls out the small chip, hoping to take it home to study.
He climbs up a tree to get a better look at the island. He sees the main populated area with its tall buildings and immaculate design, but then he notices another area of small, secluded buildings near a cliff and a forest. Curious about what might be hidden there, James decides to make his way there.
James hijacks a flying contraption, or chopper, killing the pilot in the process, but he brings the body along to use his hands as security verification. He tries to use the vehicle to escape the island, but it has trackers that don’t allow it to leave, so he heads toward the strange cluster of buildings instead.
The body of the pilot falls out of the flying vehicle, and James loses the security verification. The craft crash-lands, and he recovers from the rough landing only to be met with a horrific scene.
