Melody Jones, Pt. 1: Conspiracy

Mission 1: Washington DC

Act 4: Washington Park

Incoming from Benton

"MISSION REDIRECT: CBDC has requested direct intervention and assistance. Your new orders are: Locate viral bombs, plant homing beacons, wait for the CBDC to arrive and provide covering fire. The bombs are set to detonate within the hour."

"Terrorist resistance is heavy. Agency Intel reports that Anton Girdeux is leading the park operation. Exercise caution. We've lost all communication from Jenkins' team."

Melody made her way out of the subway when a police cruiser arrived.

"Miss Jones, are you alright?"

"Yea. Here." She gives him the tagged bomb.

"I will give this to the bomb squad."

"I need a ride to Washington Park."

"Hop in, and put on this rain coat. It's storming out here."

Melody got in the cruiser and put on the raincoat when she contacts Sheva.

"Sheva, I'm in my way to Washington Park. Have Benton sent a team to pick up Mara Aramov. I left her wounded and unconscious at the 5th avenue tunnel, but chances are she's already on the move."

"Copy that."

"If he hasn't alerted FEMA, he better do it soon. Rhoemer will trigger the main viral device whether or not the government meets his demands."

"Already on it. Did you get any information on the operation in the park?"

"According to Homefront Warriors resources, there are smaller viral bombs hidden throughout the park. Girdeux has the main one..."

"Melody, this is Benton. I have a mission redirect. Jenkins' team has been eliminated. I'm putting you on locate and recon."

"What's going on?" She gets out of the cruiser upon arriving at the park.

"CBDC's getting slaughtered. We need you to track down the viral devices and provide cover fire while CBDC agents come in and disarm them."

"Copy that. I'll give them cover as long as I can. Sheva, how much time until the main viral bomb detonates?"

"Less than a hour."

"Ok, let's do it."

"Miss Jones, you will need these." The officer popped the trunk of his cruiser. He gives her a Mossberg 590 shotgun, a Glock 17, and M16A3, a Heckler & Koch MP5A3 and some grenades.

"Thanks a lot."

She waves to the cop and he takes off. Melody jumped to the ledge and somersaults her way in.

It was raining heavy, which would make it difficult. Melody has 20 minutes to find the bombs. She found the first bomb just to her left on the entrance. She tagged the first bomb. Melody took out her Beretta and tried to fix it while the CBDC agent arrived. She finally fixed and loaded the magazine in. She used her night vision goggles to see any sign of movement. She found a sniper aiming at her. She quickly equipped a suppressor and took out the sniper. The first bomb was diffused and Melody proceeds to locate the next one. She finds the sniper she just killed. He was armed with a Izhmash SVD Dragunov. She collects and soon found the second bomb. This time Melody was prepared. Several men were coming from different directions. Melody tried her best to take them down, but switched to the MP5A3 and managed to clear the area, but she ran out of ammo. The second bomb was diffused. She found several Smith & Wesson SW99 pistols. She took some magazines for spares. A few minutes later, she finds a hostage situation. Several CBDC agents were held hostage. Melody was about to equip a suppressor but decided to try the Dragunov instead. The one she picked up had a suppressor, which was perfect. Melody managed to take down the holder. He was armed with a SW99. She receives an update from Sheva.

"Melody, the Homefront Warriors contacted me. There was a hostage situation at the tennis court."

"I know. I discovered it myself. The hostages are freed."

"Way to go, girl. Also, they found Rhoemer's triggerman, Jorge Marcos. You can find him at the North end of the park. There's the satellite dish there too. Tag it and they'll collect information of this operation."

"Copy that, Sheva. I'll need to find the rest of the bombs first. We have 12 minutes."

Melody continued trekking through the park until she found the third bomb. Like the second time, she downed many enemies the best she could. Third bomb diffused. It wasn't long until she found the last bomb. After successfully providing cover fire with what little she had, the final bomb was diffused.

"All the bomb are diffused, Sheva. I'm going for the main one."

"The final bomb is located inside Freedom Memorial, but it's heavily guarded. You'll need to do some sniping."

"I got just the gun."

"The Dragunov. My favorite."

"Really?"

"We'll talk about that later. Head on down to the satellite dish."

Five minutes later, Melody arrived in a area where a satellite dish was found. It was guarded. Melody took out the one on top, using the Dragunov. The guards found him dead. Little did they was a smoke grenade was thrown in their direction. Two more were thrown for good measure. Melody used this as a diversion to reach the satellite dish and tag it. After doing so, the Homefront Warriors began collecting data of the operation. Melody jumped down and snuck away. Sheva was collecting data as well. Melody found the triggerman. And took him out. Then she proceeded towards Freedom Memorial. As expected, it was heavily guarded. Melody used a decoy grenade or two and tossed them to her right. They sounded like firecrackers, which acted a distraction. With them out of the way, she proceeds.

"Sheva, I'm at the Memorial. I'm going in."

"Beware, Melody. Girdeux has a flamethrower and the main bomb inside. His weak point is the fuel tank on his back. Be mindful of your shots. If your bullets hit the bomb, both you and Girdeux are history."

"(Sigh) Here goes."

Melody enters the Memorial...
