GEARS 5 Gameplay Walkthrough CUTSCENES ACT 2 - CHAPTER 4 - (THE SOURCE OF IT ALL)
5Kait, JD, Del, and Marcus travel to the ruins of Azura in order to launch a prototype Hammer of Dawn satellite in an effort to restore the Hammer of Dawn network. With the launch successful, they return to the COG capital, New Ephyra, but find out from Baird that he still cannot locate the other satellites. Jinn finds out about the launch and orders them not to restore the network, since it would go against the wishes of the late Anya Stroud, who had decided to permanently decommission the Hammer of Dawn. Jinn then receives word that Settlement 2 is under attack and sends JD's squad to assist the evacuation. Accompanying them in defending the settlement is Cole, Clayton Carmine, his niece Lizzie, and Fahz, who was involved in an incident that spurred JD and Del to desert the COG. The incident in question involved Fahz ordering a squadron of armed drones to fire on protesting Settlement 2 citizens. In a heated moment during the fighting, Fahz reveals that he was only following JD's orders, causing Del and Kait to lose trust in JD. As the Swarm attacks intensify and threaten to destroy the evacuation convoy, JD orders Baird to fire the Hammer of Dawn. While the Swarm forces are annihilated, the Hammer of Dawn malfunctions and begins firing wildly. JD saves a group of civilians trapped in a damaged Minotaur but is badly injured after failing to save Lizzie from being killed by the Hammer Strikes.
Four months later, Kait and Del arrive at an Outsider village situated in the skeleton of the Riftworm in an effort to convince them to join the COG. The village chief, Kait's Uncle Oscar, refuses to join, but the village is suddenly attacked by the Swarm. During the battle, Kait is snatched and begins experiencing vivid visions of the Swarm, including witnessing Oscar's death at the hands of a Swarm Warden before escaping. COG reinforcements led by JD, who is now a Captain and has developed a jaded personality, and Fahz then arrive to evacuate the village. Kait tells everybody about her visions, and Marcus recommends she head to a secret lab at New Hope to the north to find answers, with Del deciding to accompany her against JD's objections. As they reach the lab, Marcus explains that the chief scientist, Niles Samson, had been experimenting on the children of humans suffering from Imulsion poisoning. They find clues leading them to Mount Kadar, a former Locust stronghold.
Kait and Del continue on to Mount Kadar, where they find another secret COG lab hidden beneath the ice. There, they find Niles still alive as an AI construct and uncover the frozen remains of COG soldiers and Locust. Niles explains to them that the Locust were the result of his secret genetic experiments, by manipulating the DNA of children infected with Imulsion and hybridizing them with the indigenous creatures of the Hollow. He also reveals that Queen Myrrah was originally a human who possessed a complete immunity to Imulsion and could control the Locust due to her genetics being used to create the Locust. However, she became vengeful when her new-born daughter, Reyna, Kait's mother, was spirited out of the lab by Reyna's father, ultimately leading the Locust to rebel against the scientists and gain their independence. Only years later after colonizing the Hollow did the Lambent start invading. Myrrah's hatred for humanity and invasion of the Lambent caused her to lead a genocide against humanity. Kait panics when she realizes she is the next Locust Queen, and demands that she be separated from the Swarm's hivemind. Niles puts Kait in a special brain scanning machine connected to a dormant Berserker known as the Matriarch, which successfully severs Kait from the hivemind but also resurrects Reyna in the process as her consciousness still resides in the hivemind. Niles then attempts to flee and reveals his intentions of letting the Swarm finish what the Locust started and revives several dormant Locust and Sires in an attempt to kill them. Niles is ultimately destroyed by the revived Matriarch and Kait and Del manage to kill it before escaping the facility. Realizing Reyna is now the new Swarm Queen, Kait reaffirms the COG's need to reactivate the Hammer of Dawn.
