Miles is transported to a secret underground biological research facility owned by Baron Ryoval, only to discover that the Baron has been brutally murdered and the place is eerily deserted with signs of violent struggle and human experimentation. After incapacitating his guards by manipulating the environmental controls, Miles frees himself and begins searching the facility for his missing companion Mark, confronting the grim reality of Ryoval's cruel control over his human slaves and the collapse of his regime.
